AbstractAny modality in homotopy type theory gives rise to an orthogonal factorization system of which the left class is stable under pullbacks. We show that there is a second orthogonal factorization system associated with any modality, of which the left class is the class of ○-equivalences and the right class is the class of ○-étale maps.

This paper sets out to reasess some relevance-theoretic analyses of the English modals, in particular Walton (1988), Groefsema(1995), Klinge (1993) and Berbeira Gardón (1996a), and show how a unified treatment of modal verbs is possible within the framework of Sperber and Wilson's Relevance Theory.

Derivational Modal Logics with the Difference Modality [PDF]
In this chapter we study modal logics of topological spaces in the combined language with the derivational modality and the difference modality. We give axiomatizations and prove completeness for the following classes: all spaces, $T_1$-spaces, dense-in-themselves spaces, a zero-dimensional dense-in-itself separable metric space, $R^n$ $(n\ge 2)$.

What Modals Are: Modal Verbs, Modal Words, and Auxiliary Modals
The modals are a complicated grammatical phenomenon. As of today, the status of modals is still not precisely defined in the linguistics literature, and they are described under different names: modal verbs, modal words, auxiliary modals, or defective verbs.

MODAL: A multilingual corpus annotated for modality [PDF]
We have produced a corpus annotated for modality which amounts to approximately 20,000 words in English, French, and Italian. The annotation scheme is based on the notion of epistemic construction and virtually language-independent. The annotation is rigorously evaluated by means of a newly developed strategy based on the alignment of the entire ...

Across languages, we find indefinites that trigger modal inferences. This article contributes to a semantic typology of these items by contrasting Spanish algun with indefinites like German irgendein or Italian uno qualsiasi. While irgendein-type indefinites trigger a Free Choice effect (Kratzer and Shimoyama 2002; Chierchia 2006), algun simply signals

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Large multidimensional digital images of cancer tissue are becoming prolific, but many challenges exist to automatically extract relevant information from them using computational tools. We describe publicly available resources that have been developed jointly by expert and non‐expert computational biologists working together during a virtual hackathon
