In this paper it is argued that Hintikka’s game theoretical semantics for Independence Friendly logic does not formalize the intuitions about independent choices; it rather is a formalization of imperfect information. Furthermore it is shown that the logic has several strange properties (e.g. renaming of bound variables is not allowed). An alternative semantics is proposed which formalizes intu...

In this paper, a data mining model to SMEs for detecting financial and operational risk indicators by data mining is presenting. The identification of the risk factors by clarifying the relationship between the variables defines the discovery of knowledge from the financial and operational variables. Automatic and estimation oriented information discovery process coincides the definition of dat...

Several variants of a first-order simplification rule for nonnormal form tableaux using syntactic constraints are presented. These can be used as a framework for porting methods like unit resolution or hyper tableaux to non-normal form free variable tableaux.

An alternative approach to the semantics of definite descriptions was proposed by Heim in her dissertation [1982]. Heim assigns to pragmatics a larger part of the task of specifying the meaning of definite descriptions than the neo-Russellians do. In Heim’s theory, definite and indefinite NPs are semantically equivalent, and both introduce free variables. The truth conditions proposed by Heim f...

The present doctoral thesis deals with radar polarimetry, namely with the investigation of properties of polarimetric variables potentially useful in radar meteorology. For use with dual-polarization radars, the degree of polarization is analyzed. This variable is available to planned operational radars. The degree of polarization is dependent on transmit polarization state and, consequently, i...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of three strategies organisational, business and information system – in post implementation of technological innovations. The findings reported in the paper are that improvements in operational performance can only be achieved by aligning technological innovation effectiveness with operational effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach...
