On Strictly Positive Fragments of Modal Logics with Confluence
We axiomatize strictly positive fragments of modal logics with the confluence axiom. We consider unimodal logics such as K.2, D.2, D4.2 and S4.2 with unimodal confluence ⋄□p→□⋄p as well as the products of modal logics in the set K,D,T,D4,S4, which ...

New data on bioacoustics and courtship behaviour in grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acrididae, Gomphocerinae) from Russia and adjacent countries [PDF]
The songs of seven grasshopper species of subfamily Gomphocerinae from Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, and Kazakhstan were studied. We analysed not only the sound, but also the stridulatory movements of the hind legs to more entirely describe the songs.

Electrophysiology of the rhythmic defecation program in nematode Heterorhabditis megidis
The nervous system controls most rhythmic behaviors, with a remarkable exception. In Caenorhabditis elegans periodic defecation rhythm does not appear to involve the nervous system.

A model of set theory ZFC is defined in our recent research, in which, for a given n≥3, (An) there exists a good lightface Δn1 well-ordering of the reals, but (Bn) no well-orderings of the reals (not necessarily good) exist in the previous class Δn−11 ...

On the ‘transmission sense of information’ [PDF]
In order to illuminate the role of information in biology, Bergstrom and Rosvall (Biol Philos 26:159–176, 2011a; Biol Philos 26:195–200, 2011b) propose a ‘transmission sense of information’ which builds on Shannon’s theory. At the core of the transmission sense is an appeal to the reduction in uncertainty in receivers and to etiological function.

On the Benefits of Listen before Talk Scheme for NB-Fi Networks
NB-Fi (Narrow Band Fidelity) is a promising protocol for low-power wide-area networks. NB-Fi networks use license-exempt Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands and, thus, NB-Fi devices can work in two modes: with and without Listen Before Talk ...
