We propose a notion of conditional independence with respect to propositional logic and study some of its key properties We present several equivalent formulations of the proposed notion each oriented towards a speci c application of logical reasoning such as abduction and diagnosis We suggest a frame work for utilizing logical independence computationally by structuring a propositional logic d...

Ss were asked to identify ambiguous auditory and visual stimuli (words and pictures), each of which was presented for a series of consecutive trials. On successive trials, the degree of ambiguity (auditory masking or amount of blur) was reduced, so that on the final presentation, the stimulus was easily recognizable. The Ss were divided into 2 grps.; the WRA (wide range of ambiguity) grp. was g...

Partial re-con ̄guration is the process of con ̄guring a portion of a FPGA while the rest of the device is still running/operating. This paper proposes a novel allocation methodology for realizing applications with partial and dynamic features on FPGAs. The methodology was implemented as a manager that incorporates two stages: the ̄rst one modi ̄es the con ̄guration data of each partial bitstream by...

l2 learners’ individual differences are crucial factors that deserve attention in l2 education. focusing on 2 main areas of individual differences (i.e., field (in)dependence and multiple intelligences), this study explored their relationships with l2 reading performance. participants were 64 tefl undergraduates and postgraduates. to assess the participats’ degree of field (in)dependence and mu...

Combinatorial rigidity theory seeks to describe the rigidity or flexibility of bar-joint frameworks in R in terms of the structure of the underlying graph G. The goal of this article is to broaden the foundations of combinatorial rigidity theory by replacing G with an arbitrary representable matroid M . The ideas of rigidity independence and parallel independence, as well as Laman’s and Recski’...

The path integral formulation of Quantum Field Theory implies an infinite set of local, Schwinger-Dyson-like relations. Exact renormalization group equations can be cast as a particular instance of these relations. Furthermore, exact scheme independence is turned into a vector field transformation of the kernel of the exact renormalization group equation under field redefinitions. Relations for...
