Enforcement, adjusting an argumentation framework such that a certain set of arguments becomes acceptable, is an important research topic within the study of dynamic argumentation, but one that has been little studied for structured argumentation. In this paper we study enforcement in a general structured argumentation setting. In particular, we study conditions on the argumentation setting and the knowledge base that ensure (or prevent) the acceptability of sets of formulas for structured argumentation frameworks.

In the industrial manufacturing process, most kinds of surfaces are processed by planar materials, but undevelopable surfaces are difficult develop to the plane. The approximation algorithms to develop a undevelopable surface is an important research topic in Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD). In this paper, we propose a new approximation algorithms based optimization algorithm. We guarantee the deformation vector make the minimum changes during the developing process. In the paper, some numerical example are given and the can illustrate the our method is effective.

Children?s attribution of emotions to a moral transgressor is an important research topic in the psychology of moral and emotional development. This is especially because of the so-called Happy Victimizer Phenomenon (HVP) where younger children attribute positive emotions to a moral transgressor described in a story. In the two studies that we have conducted (children aged 5, 7 and 9, 20 of each age; 10 of each age in the second study) we have tested the possible influence of the fear of sanctions and the type of transgression (stealing and inflicting body injuries) on the attribution of emotions. Children were presented with stories that described transgressions and they were asked to answer how the transgressor felt. The fear of sanctions did not make a significant difference in attribution but the type of transgression did - more negative emotions were attributed for inflicting body injuries than for stealing. Positive emotions were explained with situational-instrumental explanations in 84% of cases while negative emotions were explained with moral explanations in 63,5%. Girls attributed more positive emotions (61%) than boys (39%). However, our main finding was that, for the aforementioned age groups, we did not find the HVP effect although it has regularly been registered in foreign studies. This finding denies the generalizability of the phenomenon and points to the significance of disciplining styles and, even more so, culture for children?s attribution of emotions to moral transgressors.

Agriculture continues to be quite a debate for the last two and a half decades at least at the European level and for Romania Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reforms has a big impact in developing the convergence to the European agricultural model. Agriculture becomes nowadays a multirole economic sector, with major implications on rural community's sustainability and on food security assurance. In this context, the transformations in European agricultural economy, rural communities and food sustainability in context of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reforms represent an important research topic in the context of EU-28 policy diversification from the larger context of Romanian approach.

The Relationship

Traditionally, the relationship between the company and its providers have for objective to generate value at the company side in exchange of money. This relationship is largely investigated through the vector of value chain. In this article, security and privacy cocreation (SPCC) is investigated as a specialization of value cocreation. Although it is an important research topic, and despite a plethora of research aiming at depicting the fundamental of SPCC, few contributions have been appeared until now in the area of a language to support SPCC design and deployment. However, such a language is necessary to describe elements of the information system, as well as their underlying dependencies. As a result, this article proposes extending an existing enterprise architecture language to support the process of decision-making and to allow understanding and analysis of the impacts associated to a change of the system architecture as a whole.

The construction of vertex-disjoint paths (disjoint paths) is an important research topic in various kinds of interconnection networks, which can improve the transmission rate and reliability. The k-ary n-cube is a family of popular networks. In this paper, we determine that there are m2≤m≤n disjoint paths in 3-ary n-cube covering Qn3−F from S to T (many-to-many) with F≤2n−2m and from s to T (one-to-many) with F≤2n−m−1 where s is in a fault-free cycle of length three.

Desulfurization (removal of S compounds) of fuels is an important research topic in recent years. Several techniques have been reported to remove the sulfur-containing compounds in fuels. One of these techniques is adsorptive desulfurization (removal based on chemisorption and physisorption), which has received much attention because of low energy consumption and facile operation condition. This chapter discusses the methods employed under this technique and the types of nanocomposites and hybrid materials (adsorbents) that have been investigated as potential adsorbents. The strategies to enhance sulfur adsorption capacity and main challenges will be discussed.

The connectivity and diagnosability of a multiprocessor system or an interconnection network is an important research topic. The system and interconnection network has a underlying topology, which usually presented by a graph. As a famous topology structure of interconnection networks, the n-dimensional leaf-sort graph CFn has many good properties. In this paper, we prove that (a) the restricted edge connectivity of CFn (n ≥ 3) is 3n − 5 for odd n and 3n − 6 for even n; (b) CFn (n ≥ 5) is super restricted edge-connected; (c) the nature diagnosability of CFn (n ≥ 4) under the PMC model is 3n − 4 for odd n and 3n − 5 for even n; (d) the nature diagnosability of CFn (n ≥ 5) under the MM* model is 3n − 4 for odd n and 3n − 5 for even n.

Evidence Combination

Conflict evidence combination is an important research topic in evidence theory. In this paper, two kinds of transition matrices are constructed based on the Markov model; one is the unordered transition matrix, which satisfies the commutative law, and the other is the temporal transition matrix, which does not satisfy the commutative law, but it can handle the combination of temporal evidence well. Then, a temporal conflict evidence combination model is proposed based on these two transition matrices. First, the transition probability at the first n time is calculated through the model of unordered transition probability, and then, the transition matrix from the N + 1 time is used to solve the combination problem of temporal conflict evidence. The effectiveness of the transition matrix in the research of conflict evidence combination method is proved by the example analysis.

Important Research Topic

Texture classification is an important research topic in image processing. In 2012, scattering transform computed by iterating over successive wavelet transforms and modulus operators was introduced. This paper presents new approaches for texture features extraction using scattering transform. Scattering statistical features and scattering cooccurrence features are derived from subbands of the scattering decomposition and original images. And these features are used for classification for the four datasets containing 20, 30, 112, and 129 texture images, respectively. Experimental results show that our approaches have the promising results in classification.
