A novel normal form for propositional theories underlies the logic pdl, which captures some essential features of natural discourse, independent from any particular subject matter and related only to its referential structure. In particular, pdl allows to distinguish vicious circularity from the innocent one, and to reason in the presence of inconsistency using a minimal number of extraneous as...

this study examined if pre-germination altered the water content and water activity, contents of phytate, total phenolic, (±)-catechin, quercetin and total antioxidant capacity of almond  (prunus dulcis)kernel. raw almond kernels were submerged for 15 hours in water, 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 5.0) and 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 7.0) at 25 and 40ºc, respectivel...

We present the relation of the spatial distribution of Hα kernels with the distribution of hard X-ray (HXR) sources seen during the 2001 April 10 solar flare. This flare was observed in Hα with the Sartorius telescope at Kwasan Observatory, Kyoto University, and in hard X-rays (HXRs) with the Hard X-ray Telescope (HXT) onboard Yohkoh. We compared the spatial distribution of the HXR sources with...

The state-of-the-art CNN models give good performance on sentence classification tasks. The purpose of this work is to empirically study desirable properties such as semantic coherence, attention mechanism and reusability of CNNs in these tasks. Semantically coherent kernels are preferable as they are a lot more interpretable for explaining the decision of the learned CNN model. We observe that...

Citreoviridin contents were measured in eight bulk samples of maize kernels collected from eight fields immediately following harvest in southern Georgia. Citreoviridin contamination in six of the bulk samples ranged from 19 to 2,790 micrograms/kg. In hand-picked samples the toxin was concentrated in a few kernels (pick-outs), the contents of which were stained a bright lemon yellow (range, 53,...

Medical images such as computed tomography (CT) are degraded by different types of blur due to the imperfect resolution of the imaging system, data loss at the acquisition time and other technical reasons. The fastest way to deblur an image is by convolving a special kernel to the corrupted image. Laplacian kernels are famous and widely used in this field, but the issue is only few kernels are ...

after harvesting, pistachio nuts are generally kept in storage before being exported. during handling, thenuts are exposed to external forces that cause mechanical damage to them. the increase of the mechanicaldamage is a function of storage conditions, especially temperature. this research investigated the effect ofstorage temperature (25, 5, -5, -15°c), on the mechanical properties of pistach...

MOTIVATION Classification of proteins sequences into functional and structural families based on sequence homology is a central problem in computational biology. Discriminative supervised machine learning approaches provide good performance, but simplicity and computational efficiency of training and prediction are also important concerns. RESULTS We introduce a class of string kernels, calle...

In this paper, we establish the concept of a two-wavelet in Weinstein setting. Then introduce and demonstrate resolution identity formula for continuous wavelet transform. end, show few results on Calderón’s-type reproducing kernels context transform

abstract in order to evaluate the effect of testa on reduction of fungal growth and aflatoxin b1 producthon, ten cultivars of pistachio were collected from different parts of pistachio belt i-e rafsanjan, damghan and ghazvin of iran. a section of testa and one mm of endosperm were scraped. 20 gr. of wounded kernels and 20 gr. of unwounded kernels were surface sterilized and then placed in petri...
