UNARY NEGATION

Unary negation

We study fragments of first-order logic and of least fixed point logic that allow only unary negation: negation of formulas with at most one free variable.These logics generalize many interesting known formalisms, including modal logic and the $mu$-calculus, as well as conjunctive queries and SKIN HAIR monadic Datalog.We show that satisfiability an

An Illumination Insensitive Descriptor Combining the CSLBP Features for Street View Images in Augmented Reality: Experimental Studies

The common feature matching algorithms for street view images are sensitive to the illumination changes in augmented reality (AR), this may cause low accuracy of matching between street view images.This paper proposes a novel illumination insensitive feature descriptor by integrating the center-symmetric local binary pattern (CS-LBP) into Support C

Observations on the courtship behavior and nesting in Phyllomedusa venusta (Anura: Phyllomedusidae) from a seasonally dry forest in Colombia

I investigated the reproductive behavior of the poorly known leaf frog Phyllomedusa venusta.Courtship, LECITHIN amplexus, and nesting were observed during the rainy season in an ephemeral pool surrounded by forest.Based on the behavior of a single, amplectant pair, it seems likely that physical stimulation may play a role in courtship in this leaf
