Controlling Frost Propagation on Polymeric Surfaces Using SI‐ATRP Chemical Micropatterning

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Local wettability differences on the polymeric substrates grafted with hydrophilic stripes are linked to local variations in the presence and state of molecular water layer (MWL). The localized MWL results in fast‐propagating freezing events on the hydrophilic stripes followed by slower freezing propagation across the more hydrophobic substrate, thus ...

Effective Manipulation of Water Droplets on Open Superhydrophobic Glass Surfaces by Using a Triboelectrically Charged Polytetrafluoroethylene Rod on the Back Side of These Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The movement of pure water droplets on a superhydrophobic glass surface is precisely controlled through electrostatic manipulation using a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) rod from the opposite side. With just a few seconds of triboelectric charging, the PTFE rod directs droplets, achieving acceleration over 10 000 mm s−2.

Contralog: a Prolog conform forward-chaining environment and its application for dynamic programming and natural language parsing

open access: yesActa Universitatis Sapientiae: Informatica, 2016
The backward-chaining inference strategy of Prolog is inefficient for a number of problems. The article proposes Contralog: a Prolog-conform, forward-chaining language and an inference engine that is implemented as a preprocessor-compiler to Prolog.

Managing Uncertainty and Vagueness in Description Logics, Logic Programs and Description Logic Programs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Managing uncertainty and/or vagueness is starting to play an important role in Semantic Web representation languages. Our aim is to overview basic concepts on representing uncertain and vague knowledge in current Semantic Web ontology and rule languages (and their combination).

Probabilistic logic programming

open access: yesInformation and Computation, 1992
AbstractOf all scientific investigations into reasoning with uncertainty and chance, probability theory is perhaps the best understood paradigm. Nevertheless, all studies conducted thus far into the semantics of quantitative logic programming have restricted themselves to non-probabilistic semantic characterizations.

The Rise of Refractory Transition‐Metal Nitride Films for Advanced Electronics and Plasmonics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Transition‐metal nitrides (TMNs) are exceptional materials with high stability, biocompatibility, and semiconductor integration, which have been extensively employed in various fields. However, the epitaxial growth of TMN films remains a challenge. The absence of high‐quality TMNs limits the understanding of their condensed matter physics and hinders ...

Exploiting Parallelism in Coalgebraic Logic Programming [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
We present a parallel implementation of Coalgebraic Logic Programming (CoALP) in the programming language Go. CoALP was initially introduced to reflect coalgebraic semantics of logic programming, with coalgebraic derivation algorithm featuring both corecursion and parallelism.
