Towards Logic Programming as a Service: Experiments in tuPrologAndrea Omicini
The document discusses experiments with logic programming as a service (LPaaS) using tuProlog. It proposes an LPaaS architecture with local APIs for creating engines, loading theories, and querying. It also describes implementing tuProlog as a service (2PaaS) on iOS, where tuProlog is embedded in an app and provides an API via URL schemes for other apps to interface with it. Example application scenarios are presented, including using tuProlog for symbolic derivatives and multi-language programming. Further work is outlined to better define and extend the LPaaS paradigm.

The document discusses two models of globalization that have developed in parallel since the end of the Cold War:
1) Globalization 1.0, led by the West, promotes liberal democracy, free markets, and individualism as universal ideals. However, it has led to economic troubles and cultural losses in Western nations.
2) Globalization 2.0, exemplified by China, emphasizes cultural pluralism and the right of each nation to choose its own path. It has brought hundreds of millions out of poverty without adopting Western political systems.
The convergence of Globalization 1.0 and 2.0 will determine whether global cooperation or conflict dominates the future. The West must accept China and other non-
The document discusses Pursuit Vascular, a medical device startup located in Maple Grove, Minnesota. Pursuit has developed ClearGuard, a polymer rod coated with an antimicrobial agent that reduces catheter infections in dialysis patients by 75%. Pursuit was able to gain FDA approval relatively quickly by proving ClearGuard's effectiveness through lab testing rather than expensive clinical trials. Pursuit has raised $5 million in funding primarily from local angel investors to support product launches and manufacturing expansion. ClearGuard is the only FDA-approved device in its category and is being used and evaluated by two of the largest U.S. dialysis providers.
The document discusses disagreements between Ibn Rushd and the Ash'arites on the nature of God and creation. Ibn Rushd argues that the Ash'arites cannot consistently explain whether God is eternal or created. He also argues that if God's will is eternal, then the actions that result from that will must also be eternal. However, the Ash'arites believe the world is created in time. The document also includes rebuttals arguing that Ibn Rushd fails to prove his positions and misunderstands some Ash'arite concepts like intention and the relationship between possibility and necessity.
1. The document proposes a pilot writing center at a Colombian university to support students' writing needs across disciplines.
2. It analyzes the daily operations of existing writing centers, which provide tutoring to help students with assignments and writing strategies.
3. The proposed center would learn about the specific writing genres and styles of different fields like engineering through research and classroom observations, and initially focus on supporting first-year engineering students and faculty.
Este documento discute la importancia de promover la lectura entre los jóvenes y ofrece algunas sugerencias para lograrlo. Explica que la lectura brinda beneficios para el desarrollo personal y social. Luego, señala que los jóvenes de hoy dedican más tiempo a las redes sociales y dispositivos electrónicos que a la lectura. Finalmente, propone formas en que los bibliotecólogos pueden fomentar la lectura entre los jóvenes, como dar el ejemplo leyendo frente a ellos y recomendándoles lib
Promotes hair growth and reduces hair loss. A natural formula with essential nutrients supports healthy hair follicles and scalp. Regular use may help prevent thinning hair and promote thicker, fuller looking hair over time.

El documento analiza los factores que limitan el autocuidado en las puérperas adolescentes en el Hospital Materno Infantil Dr. José María Vargas. El estudio encontró que los factores que más limitan el autocuidado de las puérperas adolescentes son inherentes a ellas mismas debido a que se encuentran en una etapa de maduración física y psicológica o no están preparadas para su nuevo rol. Además, los factores familiares que intervienen en su cuidado y su propio conocimiento sobre el autocuidado también limitan sus prácticas
This skincare product called Sauora offers an intensive moisturizer made from indigenous oils of the Manketti tree and Aquaxyl 3d hydration to provide hydration inspired by Algeria. It uses fresh aromas of Longaza and citrus oils to hydrate the skin and ignite the senses.
Game Engines to Model MAS: A Research RoadmapAndrea Omicini
This document outlines a research roadmap for bridging the gap between multi-agent systems (MAS) and game engines (GE). It finds that while GEs excel at modeling environments, they provide weak support for agency and sociality as conceptualized in MAS. The roadmap proposes a "mirror worlds" approach where GEs represent environments and MAS handle autonomy and social interaction. A case study applies this by implementing the dining philosophers problem in Unity3D, with agents, chairs and a table modeled as game objects that coordinate through messaging. The roadmap concludes that pursuing GE-based MAS infrastructure could integrate the technologies' strengths while avoiding forcing either to handle responsibilities it is not meant for.
This document discusses principles of learning and different types of learning. It describes three types of learning identified by psychologists: classical conditioning identified by Ivan Pavlov involving emotional responses to stimuli, operant conditioning identified by BF Skinner involving stimulus-response and reinforcement, and cognitive learning involving how information is processed based on a person's experiences. It also discusses factors that affect the transfer of learning, including using the right content, context, and communication. Finally, it contrasts pedagogy, which focuses on teaching children, versus andragogy, which focuses on facilitating adult learning through experience.

This document discusses traffic characterization and loadings for pavement design. It covers topics like vehicle characteristics, axle configurations, traffic composition, sources of traffic data, load equivalency factors, truck factors, and how to calculate estimated 18-kip equivalent single-axle loads (ESALs) using traffic data. The goal is to account for the full spectrum of traffic loads that pavement will experience over its design life when determining appropriate pavement thickness.
