Published: July 2021

In this paper we focus on the logicality of language, i.e. the idea that the language system contains a deductive device to exclude analytic constructions. Puzzling evidence for the logicality of language comes from acceptable contradictions and tautologies. The standard response in the literature involves assuming that the language system only accesses analyticities that are due to skeletons as opposed to standard logical forms. In this paper we submit evidence in support of alternative accounts of logicality, which reject the stipulation of a natural logic and assume instead the meaning modulation of nonlogical terms.

Background: Viral haemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are identified by international health authorities as priorities for research and development, as they pose a threat to global health and economy. VHFs are zoonotic diseases whose acute forms in humans present a haemorrhagic syndrome and shock, with mortality rates of up to 90%. This work aims at synthetizing existing knowledge on spatial and spatially aggregable determinants that support the emergence and maintenance of VHFs in African countries covered by tropical moist forest, to better identify and map areas at risk.

The application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) can be found in numerous fields, including image and speech recognition, natural language processing, and autonomous vehicles. As well, intrusion detection, the subject of this paper, relies heavily on it. Different intrusion detection models have been constructed using ANNs.

Since the natural supply of iron is low, microorganisms acquire iron by secreting siderophores. is known for its abundant secondary metabolites containing various types of siderophores, including hydroxamate, catecholate, and carboxylate. These siderophores are mainly synthesized through the nonribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS) and non-NRPS pathways and are regulated by ferric uptake regulator and diphtheria toxin regulators.
