Modal auxiliary
Modal Auxiliary is an assembly of pseudo-machines and environments that lack any apparent purpose or strict mechanical function. Explicit purpose or function, the characteristics usually associated with machines, has been pushed aside by the pseudo-machines’ dysfunctional abstract nature and their …

Moderate Modal Metaphysics
This dissertation is about metaphysical modality: What is possibly or necessarily true? And how do these truths get to be true? It is also about a vice of moderate answers to these questions. Chapter 1 ('Actualism, Modal Reductionism, and Contingentism') concerns how modal truths get to be true. …

Kirschner's Modal Ontological Argument
… God. It is the aim of this thesis to champion a modal version of the Ontological Argument as philosophically sound by demonstrating it to be logically valid and by successfully defending the argument's premises as true. Kirschner's version of the Ontological Argument states:</p> <p>P1 For every …

Modal logics of provability
… predicate can be represented in such theories. Modal logics of provability are modal logics which attempt to express the concept of 'provability' and 'consistency' using the modal operators '[]' and '<>' respectively. This is achieved by forcing '[]' to behave like the provability predicate. GL …

Modal and fixpoint linear logic.
… of the algebraic and relational semantics of modal logic to model J.-Y. Girard's linear logic extended with general modalities. This work extends the work of M. D'Agostino, D. Gabbay, and A. Russo on modalities in implication systems, which include a fragment of linear logic, and the work of …

Modal auxiliary verbs and contexts
Modal auxiliary verbs, such as `could', `might', `must', `would', and others, have different readings depending on the context in which they occur (Kratzer 1981). The sentence `Jess could fry the fish' can mean that, in a time previous to the utterance of the sentence, Jess had the ability to fry …

Modal interactions in shell dynamics
… numerical-perturbation approach is used to study modal interactions in the dynamic response of infinitely long circular cylindrical shells to an external harmonic excitation. The excitation frequency is near the linear natural frequency of the breathing mode (i.e., primary resonance of the …

Stereovision Correction Using Modal Analysis
… on a flying wing aircraft by the using a modal survey to understand its behavior. Finally, the flying wing aircraft is subjected to random excitation and a least square fit of the random excitation signal is used to determine points of maximum deflection suitable for stereo image …

Extending the Morpheme Order Studies: Acquisition of Modal and Non-Modal Verbal Morphemes by ESL Learners
… study extends the scope of morphemes to include modal verbs within other verbal morphemes and studies the order of their acquisition. Discourse Completion Tests (DCTs) were used to examine a total of twenty-seven ESL learners from a wide range of L1 backgrounds: <em>Japanese, Arabic, Chinese, …

Modal analysis of laser vibrated structures
This thesis describes the laser irradiation of metallic structures to excite mechanical vibrations within those structures. As found by other authors, single high-power laser pulses ablate the irradiated surface material and may impulsively excite structural vibration; however, the use of laser …

Dynamically generated multi-modal application interfaces
This work introduces a new UIMS (User Interface Management System), which aims to solve numerous problems in the field of user-interface development arising from hard-coded use of user interface toolkits. The presented solution is a concrete system architecture based on the abstract ARCH model …

Adaptive function modal learning neural networks
Modal learning method is a neural network learning term that refers to a single neural network which combines with more than one mode of learning. It aims to achieve more powerful learning results than a neural network combines with only one single mode of learning. This thesis introduces a novel …
