When indemnity insurance fails: Parametric coverage under binding budget and risk constraints

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract In high‐risk environments, traditional indemnity insurance is often unaffordable or ineffective, despite its well‐known optimality under expected utility. We compare excess‐of‐loss indemnity insurance with parametric insurance within a common mean‐variance framework, allowing for fixed costs, heterogeneous premium loadings, and binding budget ...

Defeasible Reasoning in Islamic Legal Theory

Informal Logic
There is a common understanding among logicians today that nonmonotonic types of reasoning, such as defeasible or presumptive, can clearly warrant a rational acceptance of its conclusion.

3D Anodic Alumina Nanoarchitectures: A Decade of Progress from Foundational Science to Functional Metamaterials

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.
Ordered three‐dimensional anodic aluminum oxide (3D‐AAO) nanoarchitectures with longitudinal and transverse pores enable architecture‐driven metamaterials. The review maps fabrication advances, including hybrid pulse anodization, and shows how 3D‐AAO templates tailor properties across magnetism, energy, catalysis, and sensing.

An overview of nonmonotonic reasoning and logic programming [PDF]

, 1993
The focus of this paper is nonmonotonic reasoning as it relates to logic programming. I discuss the prehistory of nonmonotonic reasoning, starting from approximately 1958.

A two‐tier, reference‐informed framework for soil health assessment: Minimum indicator sets and ecologically dynamic thresholds

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Soil health underpins crop productivity and sustainability, but current soil health assessment frameworks struggle to balance global standardization with regional dynamic ecological realism. Indicators vary widely across soils and climates, often leading to one‐size‐fits‐all thresholds that penalize producers in inherently low‐capacity soils ...

Nonmonotonic logic and temporal projection

Artificial Intelligence, 1987
The reviewed article is a revised version of the paper that won the AI Journal Best Paper Award at AAAI-86. It addresses the following ``temporal projection problem'' (p. 385\({}^{17-20}):\) ``[...] given an initial description of the world [...], the occurrence of some events, and some notion of causality [...], what facts are true once all the events

A Methodology to Analyze Students' Comics Created in the Context of Science Inquiry in Secondary Education Reveals Their Modes of Reasoning

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 63, Issue 7, Page 649-670, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article introduces a methodology for analyzing comics drawn by students in the context of a science inquiry. Within a pragmatist situated semiotic approach, comics created by the students in the context of a science inquiry are semiotic representations reflecting learning viewed as a sense‐making inferential process via the building of a ...

Nonmonotonic Inductive Logic Programming as Abductive Search [PDF]

, 2012
Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) is a machine learning technique that relies on logic programs as a representation language. Most of the effort in the field of ILP has concentrated on a restricted class of problems, providing solutions that do not ...
