Nonmonotonic Skeptical Consequence Relation in Constrained Default Logic
This paper presents a study of the nonmonotonic consequence relation which models the skeptical reasoning formalised by constrained default logic. The nonmonotonic skeptical consequence relation is defined using the sequent calculus axiomatic system.

Moral dilemmas and nonmonotonic logic
The author relates the deontic theory of simple categorical oughts of \textit{B. van Fraasen} [J. Philos. 70, 5-19 (1973)] with the default logic of \textit{R. Reiter} [Artif. Intell. 13, 81-132 (1980; Zbl 0435.68069)]. Furthermore, he discusses the extension of this correspondence to conditional obligations and points out that there are deeper ...

Re-Thinking Electronic Circuit Design Through Emerging Reconfigurable Field Effect Transistors. [PDF]
Graphical illustration of reconfigurable field effect transistor (RFET) operation modes, including n‐type, p‐type, and ambipolar transport, as well as their areas of application discussed in this review: digital circuit design, analog circuit design, post‐Shannon computing, and sensing. ABSTRACT Reconfigurable field‐effect transistors, short RFETs, are

Equality-friendly well-founded semantics and applications to description logics [PDF]
We tackle the problem of defining a well-founded semantics (WFS) for Datalog rules with existentially quantified variables in their heads and nega- tions in their bodies. In particular, we provide a WFS for the recent Datalog± family of ontology languages,

Ground Nonmonotonic Modal Logics [PDF]
The authors develop a theory of ground logics which are nonmonotonic formalisms in the spirit of the McDermott--Doyle nonmonotonic modal logics. The ground logics are intended to formalise reasoning of rational agents who are allowed to make nonmonotonic assumptions only on information concerning the real world and expressed by nonmodal formulas ...

Promoting Modular Nonmonotonic Logic Programs [PDF]
Modularity in Logic Programming has gained much attention over the past years. To date, many formalisms have been proposed that feature various aspects of modularity. In this paper, we present our current work on Modular Nonmonotonic Logic Programs (MLPs)

Entropy-Driven Physical Amplification in Multivalent Biosensing. [PDF]
Detecting scarce molecules usually demands enzymatic amplification such as PCR. A statistical‐mechanical theory now reveals a purely physical alternative: distributing a fixed binding strength over more linker arms exponentially lowers the concentration at which multivalent sensors switch on.

Two-Valued Logic Programs [PDF]
We define a nonmonotonic formalism that shares some features with three other systems of nonmonotonic reasoning—default logic, logic programming with strong negation, and nonmonotonic causal logic—and study its possibilities as a language for describing ...
