Dual‐Mode Magnetic Elastomer for On‐Demand Motion and Degradation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐mode magnetic elastomer is introduced, enabling DC field‐driven programmable actuation and AC field‐driven magnetothermal degradation. GHz‐range magnetic fields generate ultrafast heating of magnetic nanoparticles that activates cleavage of the silicone elastomer matrix.

Mechanical and Electrical Phenotype of hiPSC‐Cardiomyocytes on Fibronectin‐Based Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce fibronectin‐based PEG hydrogels with controlled rigidity to enable the culture of iPSC‐derived cardiomyocytes. These substrates offer an alternative to the current culture of these cells on fibronectin‐coated glass, providing enhanced structural and functional behavior. The system provides a more physiologically relevant platform to assess

Modal description logics: modalizing roles

Fundamenta Informaticae, 1999
We construct a new concept description language intended for representing dynamic and intensional knowledge. The most important feature distinguishing this language from its predecessors in the literature is that it allows applications of modal operators to all kinds of syntactic terms: concepts, roles and formulas.

Modalization and Modalities

1991
In part I. of this essay we attempt to articulate Husserl’s phenomenological descriptions for the genesis of the primitive logical connectives, negation and disjunction. In part II. we describe possible worlds models for the use of disjunction and negation in epistemic contexts and contexts relating to the analysis of meanings. Finally, in part III, we

Modality, Si! Modal Logic, No!

Studia Logica, 1997
In this brief note, the author recalls some examples of statements that use modal notions but which, it would seem, cannot be represented adequately by the usual modal logics. The notions involved are those of believing, knowing, intending, desiring, and being under an obligation; the examples are gathered mainly from earlier publications of the author,

On Modalities and Quantifiers

Fundamenta Informaticae, 2017
In 1951 in his book An Essay in Modal Logic, Georg Henrik von Wright strongly called attention to the analogies between quantifiers and modal operators. In 1984 I published a paper in Synthese examining the analogy formally. Confession: the presentation in that paper was badly done, and there is a significant (though correctable) error.

Knowledge and Modality

Synthese, 2008
Kripke claims that there are necessary a posteriori truths and contingent a priori truths. These claims challenge the traditional Kantian view that (K) All knowledge of necessary truths is a priori and all a priori knowledge is of necessary truths.

Dynamic Modalities

Studia Logica, 2012
The author develops a modal logic with the modalities ``always necessary'' and ``sometimes necessary'', and dual modalities for possibility. He gives a Hilbert-style axiomatization, and an adequate semantics via Kripke frames with arbitrary families of accessibility relations. This logic has the finite model property and is, hence, decidable.

Modal Scepticism, Unqualified Modality, and Modal Kinds

Philosophia, 2011
I formulate and defend two sceptical theses on specific parts of our modal knowledge (unqualified and absolute modalities). My main point is that unqualified modal sentences are defective in that they fail to belong unambiguously to specific modal kinds and thus cannot be evaluated; hence, we must be sceptical of beliefs involving them.

QUALITATIVE MODALITIES

International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems, 1996
We add a binary operator ≥ to the logical language, with intended meaning of φ<ψ: ‘φ is at least as likely, probable, or trustworthy, as ψ’. The operator ≥ is interpreted on Kripke structures, making it possible to define the standard necessity operator □ in terms of ≥.
