This document presents a model-theoretic semantics for the PROV data model, viewing PROV-DM statements as atomic formulas in the sense of first-order logic, and viewing the constraints and inferences specified in PROV-CONSTRAINTS as a first-order theory. It is shown that valid PROV instances (in the sense of PROV-CONSTRAINTS) correspond to satisfiable theories. This information may be useful to...

Methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) Poly(caprolactone) (mPEG–PCL) copolymers are important synthetic biomedical materials with amphiphilicity, controlled biodegradability, and great biocompatibility. They have great potential application in the fields of nanotechnology, tissue engineering, pharmaceutics, and medicinal chemistry. mPEG–PCL copolymers are biodegradable, biocompatible, and semi-crystallin...

Based on the examination of newly collected material and additional specimens housed in Chinese collections, our knowledge of Gastroserica Brenske, 1897, is expanded. Here, seven new species are described, including habitus photographs and illustrations of the male genitalia: Gastroserica haoyui sp. n. (China: Zhejiang Prov.), G. fengduana sp. n. (China: Sichuan Prov.), G. wenzhui sp. n. (China...
