In the paper∗ we discuss a distinctive versatility of the nonFregean approach to the sentential identity. We present many-valued and referential counterparts of the systems of SCI, the sentential calculus with identity, including Suszko’s logical valuation programme as applied to manyvalued logics. The similarity of different constructions: many-valued, referential and mixed, leads us to the co...

This paper presents a universal ontology for smart environments aiming to overcome the limitations of the existing ontologies. We enrich our ontology by adding new environmental aspects such as the referentiality and environmental change, that can be used to describe domains as well as applications. We show through a case study how our ontology is used and integrated in a self-organising middle...

However, several key appear be absent non-human primates, which limits range studies, such as direct phylogenetic comparison. A further informative...

There is a large amount of diierent attempts to tackle these problems. Some of them are c...
