Non Monotonic Logic - Fundamentals and Applications

Beschreibung

What Is Non Monotonic Logic
 
A formal logic is said to be non-monotonic if its conclusion connection does not follow a monotonic pattern. In other words, the purpose of non-monotonic logics is to capture and represent defeasible inferences. This refers to a type of inference in which reasoners form tentative conclusions, which allows reasoners to retract their conclusion(s) based on future data. Non-monotonic logics are designed to do this.The vast majority of formal logics that have been examined have a monotonic entailment relation, which indicates that the addition of a formula to a theory does not result in the trimming of its set of conclusions. Intuitively, the concept of monotonicity suggests that acquiring new information does not have the potential to narrow the scope of what is already known. A monotonic logic is incapable of handling a variety of reasoning tasks, including reasoning by default, abductive reasoning, key approaches to reasoning about knowledge, and belief revision.

Strategic Heart Failure - The...

MD Marc Silver

Written by one of the country's leading experts on Heart Failure, this completely new book provides a personalized approach, information and advice, guiding you and your family towards getting optimal heart failure care. Heart failure still affects over 6 million Americans, fill our hospitals and consumes enormous healthcare resources in the US and worldwide. Much of the impact of heart failure is lack of process and coordination of care with patients firmly inserted as team members. 
Dr. Silver says, "Strategic Heart Failure is a distillation of how my team and I helped patients and improved their outcomes for almost 4 decades. I want to share this approach directly with patients; they can help lead their healthcare, understand how decisions are made and improve the entire process of heart failure care." 
Understanding of a few fundamentals of heart failure care, especially the metrics and language that guideline directed care is crafted from, patients and families can not only join their care team but become the CEO! This Strategic approach moves people with heart failure from patients to partners within a caring, coordinated and engaged teams. 
Four prior editions of his books, Success with Heart Failure, elevated the understanding of the heart failure syndrome among thousands worldwide. His motivation for Strategic Heart Failure was his realization that his work on clinical trials, research, training other men and women professionals, serving on national guideline committees, being an Editor- in-Chief of a heart failure journal and even being one of the first Board Certified Fellows in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant was not enough. Even having one of the finest and most dedicated teams was not enough. It is critical for: 
The patient to be involved 
The patient to be the team leader 
The patient to speak the "Heart Failure" language and understand the rationale and process for every life impacting decision.<

Beyond the Tired: Understanding...

Zazabor Guru

In Beyond the Tired: Understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, readers will discover a compassionate, thorough exploration of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), or myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)—a condition that has left millions feeling exhausted, misunderstood, and often invisible. This comprehensive book delves into the unique challenges faced by those with CFS/ME, blending scientific insights with real-life stories to shed light on one of the most complex and underdiagnosed health conditions in the modern world. 
Unlike ordinary fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome impacts nearly every aspect of life, causing overwhelming physical and mental exhaustion that doesn't improve with rest. This book explains how CFS manifests and why it's more than just feeling tired. It examines the primary symptoms, from post-exertional malaise to "brain fog," muscle and joint pain, and the severe impacts on the nervous, immune, and cardiovascular systems. With sensitivity and clarity, Beyond the Tired gives readers an accessible yet detailed understanding of the symptoms, allowing loved ones and those unfamiliar with the illness to gain valuable insight into the day-to-day experience of CFS/ME sufferers. 
Whether you're a patient, a loved one, or a healthcare professional, Beyond the Tired is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to better understand chronic fatigue syndrome. This book aims to demystify CFS, bridging the gap between medical science and the lived experience of patients. Through a balanced approach that combines science with empathy, Beyond the Tired ultimately seeks to bring awareness, validation, and hope to everyone touched by this often invisible illness.

ISO 22301: 2019 - An...

Alan Calder

In an increasingly volatile world, exemplified by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, organisations are looking at business continuity with a fresh perspective. While most organisations believe they are prepared for disruption, COVID-19 has proved otherwise. The need for business continuity has never been clearer.
If you were hit by a cyber attack and lost the use of your IT systems, would you be able to carry on? If your business premises were forced to close, what would you do? If you were affected by unexpected staff absence, how could you reassure your customers that you can still offer them the service they expect?
Being unprepared can lead to financial and reputational damage, which could prove disastrous. You could fail to keep up with customer demand or lose important business, or your customers could go elsewhere. Without a proper risk assessment strategy, your company directors could even face prosecution if a major incident occurs and results in loss or injury.
An introduction to ISO 22301
To minimise the impact of a disaster on your business, and to continue to provide essential services to your customers, you need to put in place a BCMS (business continuity management system). This pocket guide will help you understand the basics of business continuity and ISO 22301:2019, the international standard that describes the specification for a BCMS.
It covers:

- What business continuity is;
- Key terms and definitions;
- A brief history of business continuity management;
- The BCMS;
- ISO 22301 BCMS requirements; and
- CertificationISO 22301:2019 - An introduction to a business continuity management system (BCMS) provides an easy-to-read and straightforward introduction to a BCMS that business continuity managers, compliance managers, C-suites and disaster recovery planners – or any organisation implementing, or considering implementing, an ISO 22301 BCMS – will find valuable.

The Dark Energy Puzzle - Piecing...

Dirk Fallon

In the late 1990s, astronomers made a discovery that completely changed our understanding of the universe. While studying distant supernovae to measure how fast the universe was expanding, researchers expected to see signs that the expansion was slowing down due to gravity. Instead, they found the opposite—the expansion was speeding up. This unexpected observation pointed to something completely unknown, an unseen force that counteracts gravity and drives galaxies apart at an accelerating rate. That force was given the name "dark energy."
The term "dark" doesn't mean this energy is black or shadowy, but rather that it's unknown and mysterious. Scientists still don’t know what it really is, only that it seems to make up around 68 percent of the total energy in the universe. That’s a huge amount, especially considering that everything we can see—stars, planets, gas, dust—makes up less than 5 percent. The rest is made of dark matter, another unknown component, but dark energy is even more puzzling. It doesn’t clump like matter does, and it seems to be spread evenly through space.
Astronomers began piecing this together by observing Type Ia supernovae, which are exploding stars that always reach roughly the same brightness. Because of that consistency, they can be used like cosmic measuring sticks. When scientists looked at supernovae that were billions of light-years away, they saw that those objects were dimmer than expected. That meant they were farther away than predicted, and the only explanation was that the universe had expanded more than anyone thought. It wasn’t just expanding—it was accelerating.
