Inverse Design of Amorphous Materials With Targeted Properties

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
AMDEN is a diffusion model framework for the inverse design of amorphous materials with targeted properties. By incorporating Hamiltonian Monte Carlo refinement into the denoising process, the framework overcomes the challenge of generating thermally relaxed disordered structures.

“Definite Associative Deixis”: Between Referential and Attributive Readings

Discours
This paper investigates different readings of definite descriptions within “definite associative deixis”. The term itself was proposed in Dvořák (2023) to refer to Hawkins’ “larger situation uses based on general knowledge” (1978).

Referential Descriptions: A Note on Bach

European Journal of Analytic Philosophy, 2007
Bach fails to give a satisfactory pragmatic account of referential uses of definite descriptions because he does not explain how a description’s quantificational meaning plays a “key role” in those uses.

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Referential Descriptions and Conversational Implicatures

European Journal of Analytic Philosophy, 2007
The standard Gricean defense of Russell in the face of referential uses of descriptions has been to claim that these uses are conversational implicatures.

Developmental changes in children’s processing of redundant modifiers in definite object descriptions

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
This paper investigates developmental changes in children’s processing of redundant information in definite object descriptions. In two experiments, children of two age groups (six or seven, and nine or ten years old) were presented with pictures of ...
