The articles listed below represent a bibliography of research on the diaphragm; this is an update of the original vaginal diaphragm bibliography created in 2004 by the Cervical Barrier Advancement Society (CBAS). To update the 2004 bibliography, we searched in PubMed for the terms “diaphragm,” “cervical cap,” and “cervical barrier” in titles and abstracts from articles published between Januar...

In this article, joint medical and data analysis expertise is brought to bear using fuzzy knowledge representation and ?intelligent? aggregation techniques to solve a difficult medical diagnosis problem, that of sleep apnea syndrome screening Source URL: https://www.iiia.csic.es/en/node/54978 Links [1] https://www.iiia.csic.es/en/bibliography?f[author]=227 [2] https://www.iiia.csic.es/en/staff/...

Our work is a contribution to the model theory of fuzzy predicate logics. In this paper we characterize elementary equivalence between models of fuzzy predicate logic using elementary mappings. Rening the method of diagrams we give a solution to an open problem of P. Hajek and P. Cintula (Conjectures 1 and 2 of [HaCi06]). We investigate also the properties of elementary extensions in witnessed ...

Description Logics (DLs) are knowledge representation languages useful to represent concepts and roles. Fuzzy Description Logics (FDLs) incorporate both vague concepts and vague roles modeling them as fuzzy sets and fuzzy relations respectively. In the present paper, following ideas from Hájek, we propose the use of t-norm based (fuzzy) logics with truth constants in the language as logics unde...

We introduce a new multiagent negotiation algorithm for large and complex domains, called NB3. It applies Branch & Bound to search for good offers to propose. To analyze its performance we present a new problem called the Negotiating Salesmen Problem. We have conducted some experiments with NB3 from which we conclude that it manages to decrease the traveling cost of the agents significantly, th...

This chapter addresses the problem of building normative multiagent systems in terms of regulatory mechanisms. It describes a static conceptual model through which one can specify normative multiagent systems along with a dynamic model to capture their operation and evolution. The chapter proposes a typology of applications and presents some open problems. In the last section, the authors expre...

In this paper we introduce a k-anonymous vector space model, which can be used as an index of a set of confidential documents. This model allows to index, for example, encrypted data. New documents can be added or removed while maintaining the k-anonymity property of the vector space.
