Levi Contractions and AGM Contractions: A Comparison

Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic, 1995
Among the AGM postulates for contraction, the one that has been most open to query is that of recovery. In his book: The fixation of belief and its undoing (Cambridge UK, 1991), \textit{Isaac Levi} proposed modifying the AGM partial meet construction for contraction in such a way as to invalidate recovery.

Contracting planar graphs to contractions of triangulations

Journal of Discrete Algorithms, 2011
For every graph $H$, there exists a polynomial-time algorithm deciding if a planar input graph $G$ can be contracted to~$H$. However, the degree of the polynomial depends on the size of $H$. In this paper, we identify a class of graphs $\cal C$ such that for every $H \in \cal C$, there exists an algorithm deciding in time $f(|V(H)|) \cdot |V(G)|^{\bigO{

Sex differences in muscle activity emerge during sustained low-intensity contractions but not during intermittent low-intensity contractions

, 2020
Sex differences in motor performance may arise depending on the mode of contraction being performed. In particular, contractions that are held for long durations, rather than contractions that are interspersed with rest periods, may induce greater levels

In vitro and in silico dynamic analysis of alkaloid extract of Moringa oleifera leaf as a Tocolytic agent

Phytomedicine Plus
Background of Study: Tocolytics are substances which prevents preterm births by reducing or stopping uterine contractions. This study is aimed at using both in vitro and in silico docking in investigating Alkaloid extract of Moringa oleifera leaf (AML ...

Clinically relevant concentrations of dexmedetomidine may reduce oxytocin-induced myometrium contractions in pregnant rats [PDF]

Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2020
Background Recently, there have been some trials to use dexmedetomidine in the obstetric field but concerns regarding the drug include changes in uterine contractions after labor.

Contract theory and EU contract law [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
This paper explores the relationship between contract theory and European contract law. In particular, it confronts the leading contract law theories with the main characteristics of EU contract law. The conclusion is that the two do not match well. In particular, monist normative contract theories are largely irreconcilable with the contract law of ...

Ambiguous Contracts

Proceedings of the 24th ACM Conference on Economics and Computation, 2023
We explore the deliberate infusion of ambiguity into the design of contracts. We show that when the agent is ambiguity‐averse and hence chooses an action that maximizes their minimum utility, the principal can strictly gain from using an ambiguous contract, and this gain can be arbitrarily high.

Acute Neurological Events in Children With Hemoglobin SC Disease: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurological manifestations in children with hemoglobin SC (HbSC) disease remain insufficiently characterized, particularly regarding acute events. The aim of this study was to describe the spectrum and frequency of acute neurological events in a multicenter cohort of children with HbSC disease.

Ewing Sarcoma in Infants and Children Under 2 Years of Age: A French Retrospective Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ewing sarcoma, the second most common primary bone cancer in children, requires intensive treatment that may lead to significant long‐term sequelae, particularly in infants. We retrospectively analyzed data from 1621 French patients treated between 1988 and 2015 within the EW88/93/97 or EE99 trials, focusing on 17 infants diagnosed before 24 ...
