Representation Formalism

A general game player is a system that can play previously unknown games just by being given their rules. For this purpose, the Game Description Language (GDL) has been developed as a high-level knowledge representation formalism to communicate game rules to players. In this paper, we address a fundamental limitation of state-of-the-art methods and systems for General Game Playing, namely, their being confined to deterministic games with complete information about the game state. We develop a simple yet expressive extension of standard GDL that allows for formalising the rules of arbitrary finite, n-player games with randomness and incomplete state knowledge. In the second part of the paper, we address the intricate reasoning challenge for general game-playing systems that comes with the new description language. We develop a full embedding of extended GDL into the Situation Calculus augmented by Scherl and Levesque's knowledge fluent. We formally prove that this provides a sound and complete reasoning method for players' knowledge about game states as well as about the knowledge of the other players.

CDL is a language for describing reusable software components. It facilitates the reuse of software components by providing a high-level model for component interfaces and mechanisms for describing the relationships between them. CDL extends the parameterisation mechanisms of modern high-level languages and helps to avoid the difficulties that can be encountered in specifying and instantiating generic components. CDL does this without explicit parameterisation or inheritance operators, and thus frees the designer from having to predict the reusability potential of the component. In these respects, CDL supports reuse at two levels. Components may inherit, generically instantiate or import other components. Furthermore, a CDL schema provides a design description that can itself be reused.

The most widespread chemical damage in children – burn of the esophagus. It occurs when accidentally swallowing substances that have in their composition alkali, acid or other caustic substances. The depth of burn depends on the concentration and time of contact of the mucous membrane with the affecting agent. As a result of penetration of alkalis and contact with the wall of the esophagus, along with necrosis, damage to the mucous membrane, submucosal and muscular membrane of the esophagus occurs. Despite a large number of drugs that have been tested in the treatment of complications caused by esophageal burns, there is little information that would indicate the high effectiveness of the previously used drugs. The analysis of literature data shows the positive influence of polyphenols of natural origin on the normalization of physiological and biochemical parameters in various pathologies. The extract of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris pods extract (PVPE)) is an example of a rich bioactive component of the source with beneficial characteristics for humans. Therefore, the purpose of our work was to investigate the effect of the Phaseolus vulgaris pods extract on the healing of post-burns wounds. When morpho-functional characteristics of the esophagus changes in the conditions of alkaline burn of the esophagus of the 2nd degree, it was shown that at 1 day of the experiment there is a violation of the mucous membrane, which manifests itself in the destruction of the multilayered epithelium, namely, in the submucous membrane there is a significant accumulation of leukocytes, leukocytic infiltration is fixed in the partly destroyed muscle layer. At 31 days of study in a group of animals with burn of the esophagus there is a certain restoration of the integrity of the mucous membrane of the esophagus, mainly with hyperplasia; there is also a decrease in the presence of leukocytes; however, there is an enlargement of the connective tissue in the submucosal membrane, which may indicate the formation of a scar. The data of the morphological description are confirmed by the morphometric parameters of the calculation of the stenosis index. With the use of extracts of beans under chemical burns esophagus conditions, improvement of the morpho-functional status of the esophagus of rats was noted: the formed connective tissue scar does not significantly affect the stenosis index (its significance is the intermediate position); the high level of leukocyte infiltration is reduced to the control parameters, which may indicate the obvious therapeutic effect of the extract of beans pods at alkaline burns of the esophagus.

Representation Formalism

The standard representation formalism for multi-agent epistemic planning has one central disadvantage: When you use event models in dynamic epistemic logic (DEL) to describe the action of one agent, the model must specify not only the actual change and the change of that agent's knowledge. Also required is the epistemic change of any agents that may be observing the first agent performing the action, plus the epistemic change for any further agents that failed to observe that anything had taken place. To overcome the gap between this complex DEL notion of events and a more commonsense notion of actions, we propose a simple high-level action description language for multi-agent epistemic planning domains with just one type of effect laws: a causes x if y. Effect x can either be a physical effect, or an observation from an independent set that is specific to individual agents. We formally prove that any DEL event model can be described in this way. We show how this language provides a framework for expressing a variety of executability and action models; such as describing actions that are both ontic and epistemic, partially observable, or nondeterministic. We further combine our representation of event models with a description language for finitary initial epistemic theories, and we show how this allows us to reason about the effects of a sequence of actions in a multi-agent epistemic domain by updating a single multi-pointed epistemic model.

Blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) are widely cultivated worldwide and largely consumed due to their known antioxidant and medicinal properties. Although Diaporthe species have been documented in Portugal as causal agents of blueberry twig blight and dieback, there is still scarce information on the species that cause these symptoms. Moreover, Diaporthe vaccinii, recently synonymized with D. eres, has been considered a concern to blueberry production worldwide. However, the current knowledge about its impact on blueberries remains unclear. The diversity of Diaporthe species associated with diseased blueberry plants were assessed through a national survey. A multilocus sequence analysis of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1-α), β-tubulin (tub2), calmodulin (cal) and histone 3 (his3) genes unveiled the presence of Diaporthe ambigua, D. amygdali, D. crousii, D. foeniculina, D. hybrida, D. leucospermi, D. malorum and D. rudis. Moreover, all species were fully characterized based on a detailed morphological description. Diaporthe amygdali, D. hybrida, D. leucospermi and D. malorum are reported for the first time on diseased blueberries in Portugal. Results show that D. eres exhibited a high level of intraspecific variability within isolates, given that the strain CBS 160.32 might be a minor pathogen on blueberry plants, whereas CAA829 was revealed to be the most aggressive. Overall, this study also demonstrates that Diaporthe amygdali and D. eres may be two of the most aggressive species to blueberry plants. This study improves our understanding of the Diaporthe species and it’s causing of dieback and twig blight on Portuguese blueberry orchards. Additionally, the identification of these pathogens represents crucial information for blueberry producers to apply appropriate phytosanitary measures, as well as offering new insights into the potential pathogenicity of D. eres on this host.
