For ontologies represented as Description Logic Tboxes, optimised DL reasoners are able to detect logical errors, but there is comparatively limited support for resolving such problems. One possible remedy is to weaken the available information to the extent that the errors disappear, but to limit the weakening process as much as possible. The most obvious way to do so is to remove just enough ...

This study investigates the impact of CO2 on the amplitude, frequency, and mechanisms of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) variability in millennial simulations of the HadCM3 coupled climate model. Multichannel singular spectrum analysis (MSSA) and empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) are applied to the AMOC at four quasi-equilibrium CO2 forcings. The amount of variance explai...

this study explains the formation of islamist discourse in turkey and its impact on its foreign policy (with an emphasis on justice and development party -akp). the findings which are based on discourse analysis of ernesto laclau and chantal mouffe, indicate that the islam-minded modern turkey actors (in akp) could weaken one of the main aspects of kemalist ideology in a democratic and peaceful...

The self-face processing advantage (SPA) refers to the research finding that individuals generally recognize their own face faster than another's face; self-face also elicits an enhanced P3 amplitude compared to another's face. It has been suggested that social evaluation threats could weaken the SPA and that self-esteem could be regarded as a threat buffer. However, little research has directl...

Synaptic transmission at the vocal synapse, the laryngeal neuromuscular junction, of Xenopus /aevk has been shown to be regulated by long-term changes in circulating estrogen. In females, high levels of circulating estrogen also accompany gonadotropin-induced ovulation and oviposition and the switch from sexually unreceptive to receptive states, including changes in vocal behaviors (ticking to ...
