for the first time in the history of logic, abd al razzaq al-jili (d. 570/1174), in the treatise al-lame fi al-shakl al-rabe, dealt with the modal syllogisms of the fourth figure. previous to him, dinha, the priest, and ibn salah al-hamadani had discussed the non-modal moods of the fourth figure. jili’s treatise deals only with simple modalities and ignores the complex ones. his pupil, fakhr al...

Theorists have long maintained that people react to major life events but then eventually return to a setpoint of subjective well-being. Yet prior research is inconclusive regarding the extent of interindividual variability. Recent theoretical models suggest that there should be heterogeneity in long-term stress responding (Bonanno, 2004; Muthén & Muthén, 2000). To test this idea, we used laten...

Holographie Interferometry methods have been successfully employed to characterize the materials and behavior of diverse types of structures under stress 1'2'3• Specialized variations of this technology have also been applied to define dynamic and vibration related structural behavior4• Such applications ofholographic technique offer some ofthe most effective methods of modal and dynamic analys...

A method is presented for the stress analysis of flight vehicles under different flight conditions including gust and control surface deflection (or maneuver) using the governing equations of rigid-body motions and elastic deformations. The Lagrangian approach is used to derive the governing equations of motions. For this purpose, the basic equations of motions are derived in terms of potential...

with speed increasing in high-speed trains, due to limitations of other types of brakes, aerodynamic brake has become an important braking method. in this task to make better use of brake’s panel different configurations are examined and the best panel shape which provides the reasonable drag coefficient is introduced. the results of simulations are carried out with the computational fluid dyna...

We propose an extension of Stabler’s version of clitics treatment for a wider coverage of the french language. For this, we present the lexical entries needed in the lexicon. Then, we show the recognition of complex syntactic phenomenae as (left and right) dislocation, clitic climbing over modal and extraction from determiner phrase. The aim of this presentation is the syntaxsemantic interface ...

This paper discusses two possible formal approaches to the semantic/pragmatic particles of a subclass of the modal particles. It may well be that the approaches can be applied to other particles or that they can be applied to certain intonational patterns (e.g. contrastive stress), to morphemes (past tense, agreement) or to words (pronouns), constructions (some uses of definite descriptions, cl...

This is an introductory paper about provability logic, a modal propositional logic in which necessity is interpreted as formal provability. We discuss the ideas that led to establishing this logic, we survey its history and the most important results, and we emphasize its applications in metamathematics. Stress is put on the use of Gentzen calculus for provability logic. We sketch our version o...

ABSTRACT: Room temperature drying tests on silt slurry with free and constrained boundaries, reveal an initial phase with a significant shrinkage at full saturation. Hence, this shrinkage is linked to a mass loss of pore fluid through the external boundary. Shrinkage in the unsaturated phase is much smaller. A simultaneous porosimetry reveals a bi-modal pore size distribution with a distinct ev...

Stress in piezoelectric material can be controlled by imposing the electrical field. Thanks to a feedback, this electrical field can be a function of some strain related measurement so as to confer to the piezoelectric device a closed loop macroscopic behaviour. In this paper we address the modelling of such system by extending the modal decomposition methods to account for the closed loop. To ...
