The aim of this paper is to provide a logical framework for reasoning about actions, agency, and powers of agents and coalitions in game-like multi-agent systems. First we define our basic Dynamic Logic of Agency DLA. Differently from other logics of individual and coalitional capability such as Alternating-time Temporal Logic ATL and Coalition Logic, in DLA cooperation modalities for expressin...

The aim of the study is application of Triangular Prism Method (TPM) algorithm in computer assisted Papanicolaou smears analysis that is useful in cervical cancer screening. The TPM algorithm allows estimation of the FD (fractal dimension) for optical density of cell nuclei. Selection of the local FD for green color channel gives efficient separation between both cell nuclei classes. Proposed a...

We develop the skeleton algorithm to define the number of main branches Nb of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) clusters. The skeleton algorithm provides a systematic way to remove dangling side branches of the DLA cluster and has successfully been applied to study the ramification properties of percolation. We study the skeleton of comparatively large (≈ 10 sites) off-lattice DLA clusters in...

Detailed analysis of the spectral lines from two low redshift damped Lyman alpha absorbers (DLA) confirms that they are a heterogeneous population. Both systems have low metal abundances of approximately 0.05 to 0.1 solar. The abundance pattern of the DLA at z = 1.15 towards HE 0515-4414 shows dust depletion comparable to that found in our Galaxy, while the system at z = 0.68 towards HE 1122-16...

The dataset depicted in this article related to our earlier article entitled "Phytofabrication and encapsulated of silver nanoparticles from Gloriosa Superba" (Saradha Devi et al., 2017) [1], which reports the characteristic features (UV Visible spectra, FTIR, SEM, TEM, DLS, Zeta potential and XRD analysis) of the Gloriosa superba biosynthesised silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). In this context, th...

background: despite widespread clinical uses of resin-modifi ed glass-ionomers (rmgis), their sealing ability is still a concern. this study evaluated the effect of delayed light activation (dla) of rmgi on marginal sealing in differently pretreated cavities. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, two standardized class v cavities were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 56 s...

Digestion-ligation-amplification (DLA), a novel adaptor-mediated PCR-based method that uses a single-stranded oligo as the adaptor, was developed to overcome difficulties of amplifying unknown sequences flanking known DNA sequences in large genomes. DLA specifically overcomes the problems associated with existing methods for amplifying genomic sequences flanking Mu transposons, including high l...

Diabetes mellitus occurs spontaneously in dogs, which is believed to have an autoimmune component and to be a model of human latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). Some dog breeds (e.g. Samoyed) are particularly predisposed, whereas others (e.g. Boxer) are highly resistant. With the completion of the Dog Genome Assembly, comparative genomic studies of complex diseases in dogs, including d...

Results from a modified Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) model are presented. The modifications of the classical DLA model are in the attachment to the cluster rules and in the scheme of particle generation/killing. In the classical DLA model, if a particle reaches the growing cluster, it sticks to it immediately and irreversibly and then the next particle is released. We will abandon this o...
