A Wagner–Meerwein‐Like Rearrangement Generates a Vinyl Group in the Biosynthesis of the Polychlorinated Lipopeptides Fischerazoles

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The fischerazoles, unusual cyanobacterial chlorinated lipopeptides are reported. During their biosynthesis, a linear fatty acyl‐acyl carrier protein (ACP) precursor is rearranged through the action of the S‐adenosyl‐methionine (SAM)‐dependent methyltransferase FshF, to generate a pendant vinyl group.

New Improvements in Automatic Structure Elucidation Using the LSD (Logic for Structure Determination) and the SISTEMAT Expert Systems

open access: yesNatural Product Communications, 2010
This article describes the integration of the LSD (Logic for Structure Determination) and SISTEMAT expert systems that were both designed for the computer-assisted structure elucidation of small organic molecules.

A substructural logic for layered graphs [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Logic and Computation, 2014
Complex systems, be they natural or synthetic, are ubiquitous. In particular, complex networks of devices and services underpin most of society's operations. By their very nature, such systems are difficult to conceptualize and reason about effectively.

A Substructural Modal Logic of Utility

open access: yesJournal of Logic and Computation, 2017
Abstract We introduce a substructural modal logic of utility that can be used to reason aboutoptimality with respect to properties of states. Our notion of state is quite general, and is able to represent resource allocation problems in distributed systems.

Distribution-Free Modal Logics: Sahlqvist–Van Benthem Correspondence

open access: yesLogics
We present an extension and generalization of Sahlqvist–van Benthem correspondence to the case of distribution-free modal logic, with, or without negation and/or implication connectives.

Weak consistency and strong paraconsistency

open access: yestripleC: Communication, Capitalism & Critique, 2009
In a standard sense, consistency and paraconsistency are understood as, respectively, the absence of any contradiction and as the absence of the ECQ (“E contradictione quodlibet”) rule that allows us to conclude any well formed formula from any ...

Free choice permission as resource-sensitive reasoning

open access: yesSemantics and Pragmatics, 2010
Free choice permission is a long-standing puzzle in deontic logic and in natural language semantics. It involves what appears to be a conjunctive use of "or": from "You may eat an apple or a pear", we can infer that "You may eat an apple" and that "You ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
