Cut-elimination, substitution and normalisation
No full textDate of Acceptance: 01/2015We present a proof (of the main parts of which there is a formal version, checked with the Isabelle proof assistant) that, for a G3-style calculus covering all of intuitionistic zero-order logic, with an associated term calculus, and with a particular strongly normalising and confluent system of cut-reduction rules, every reduction step has, as its natural deduction translation, a sequence of zero or more reduction steps (detour reductions, permutation reductions or simplifications). This complements and (we believe) clarifies earlier work by (e.g.) Zucker and Pottinger on a question raised in 1971 by Kreisel.Peer reviewe

I remember teaching English at Seabrook
No full textIn this "I remember" memoir, Isabell Waugh, a former teacher at Seabrook, compares and constrasts the different groups of students she taught. She remembers that native-born American teenagers tended to be more concerned with athletics and social activities, than academic matters. In comparison, Estonian and Japanese parents did not tolerate low academic performance, so students from the two groups often competed intensely with each other for academic achievement and recognition. Isabelle recalls that the Estonians were, in general, more sophisticated and better educated. Most of the children knew 3-5 languages, and were more advanced in math and science. She sensed that some Estonian parents felt that their homes at Seabrook were temporary, and that they would be returning to Estonia at some point. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms
Isabelle Bell to Susan Niemcewicz, December 23, 1800
No full textIsabelle Bell wrote to Susan U. Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Bell expressed her disappointment in not receiving a line from Susan. She sent Bell Lucretia Rephans subscription epistle, but Susan refrained from writing a letter to her. Bell did not execute any of Susan’s commissions in New York because her time there was short. Miss Resham heard that Mr. B Livingston told his sister, Mrs. J. Livingston that he would offer Bell a salary to live in his house and take charge of his children’s education. Asked if Susan what she thought of her being an author and if Susan would subscribe to a small volume that may have the good fortune to rival the poems of the immortal Scarron.https://digitalcommons.kean.edu/lhc_1800s/1143/thumbnail.jp

Formalization of Isabelle Meta Logic in NuPRL
No full textNuPRL and Isabelle are two general purpose theorem provers. Both of them are based on a version of Constructive Higher Order Type Theory. In an earlier work the author has proposed an informal semantics of Isabelle Meta Logic in an extension of NuPRL Type Theory. An automated converter, based on this semantics, has been developed, that translates Isabelle theorem statements into NuPRL. This work presents a formalization of the above semantics in NuPRL. It starts with a deep embedding of Isabelle type and term syntax into NuPRL Constructive Type Theory. Next, two internal NuPRL functions are defined. One of them maps Isabelle types into NuPRL types and the other maps Isabelle terms into elements of appropriate NuPRL types. These two functions provide an interpretation of Isabelle in NuPRL. Finally, interpretations of all Isabelle Meta Logic rules are proven as theorems in some classical extension of NuPRL Type Theory. This formalization is aimed to provide a more secure foundation for the interaction between two systems
Security modeling and correctness proof using Specware and Isabelle
No full textSecurity modeling is the foundation to formal verification which is a core requirement for high assurance systems. This thesis explores how security models can be built in a simple and expressive manner using the Metaslang specification language in Specware. The models are subsequently translated, via the Specware to Isabelle Interface, to be proven for correctness in Isabelle which is a generic, interactive theorem proving environment. It is found that the translation between Specware and Isabelle is almost seamless and there is much potential in the use of Isabelle/HOL to discharge proof obligations that arise in developing Specware specifications, although the actual proving requires substantial knowledge and experience in logical calculus.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.Outstanding ThesisSingapore ST Electronics Ltd. author (civilian).http://archive.org/details/securitymodeling10945383
Isabelle/DOF: Design and Implementation
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Springer Verlag via the DOI in this record17th International Conference, SEFM 2019
Oslo, Norway, September 18–20, 2019DOF is a novel framework for defining ontologies and enforcing them during document development and evolution. A major goal of DOF is the integrated development of formal certification documents (e. g., for Common Criteria or CENELEC 50128) that require consistency across both formal and informal arguments. To support a consistent development of formal and informal parts of a document, we provide Isabelle/DOF, an implementation of DOF on top of the formal methods framework Isabelle/HOL. A particular emphasis is put on a deep integration into Isabelleâs IDE, which allows for smooth ontology development as well as immediate ontological feedback during the editing of a document. In this paper, we give an in-depth presentation of the design concepts of DOFâs Ontology Definition Language (ODL) and key aspects of the technology of its implementation. Isabelle/DOF is the first ontology language supporting machine-checked links between the formal and informal parts in an LCF-style interactive theorem proving environment. Sufficiently annotated, large documents can easily be developed collabo- ratively, while ensuring their consistency, and the impact of changes (in the formal and the semi-formal content) is tracked automatically.IRT SystemX, Paris-Saclay, Franc
La construction d'un monde professionnel : entrées des jeunes praticiens dans la médecine générale

The young general practitioners in the medical field.
Using interviews with young medical doctors (general practitioners) the author studies the ways they organize their empirical practice (as opposed to theoretical knowledge) and constructs a typology which caracterizes specific modes of professionnal socialization. This leads the author to evaluate the social dimensions of the role of general practitioners.La socialisation professionnelle des étudiants en médecine implique la formation d'un univers conceptuel qui est une sorte de compromis entre le savoir médical et la pratique quotidienne. A partir d'entretiens avec de jeunes médecins généralistes l'auteur a étudié comment les jeunes médecins organisent leur pratique et construit une typologie reflétant ces mécanismes particuliers de socialisation.
Cette analyse conduit l'auteur à s'interroger sur la dimension sociale du rôle du médecin généraliste telle qu'il la perçoit.Baszanger Isabelle.

Évaluation du potentiel d'atténuation des changements climatiques à la suite du boisement et du reboisement de territoires improductifs
No full textL'augmentation des superficies forestières permet d'atténuer les changements climatiques en augmentant les puits de carbone en forêt et en assurant un apport soutenu en produits du bois sur les marchés. Le présent projet visait à quantifier le potentiel d'atténuation du boisement et du reboisement de territoires improductifs au Québec, considérant l'approche du bilan de carbone intégrée (forêt, produits du bois et substitution). Les analyses effectuées dans le cadre de l'étude nous ont permis d'évaluer le potentiel d'atténuation des changements climatiques du boisement et du reboisement des dénudés secs et des brûlis mal régénérés retrouvés dans le domaine bioclimatique de la pessière à mousses et des friches agricoles situées dans le domaine bioclimatique de la sapinière à bouleau jaune. Les résultats suggèrent que les plantations sans récolte ont généré, à l'âge de maturité, un plus grand potentiel de séquestration du carbone en forêt alors que les plantations récoltées prennent plusieurs décennies pour récupérer la perte de carbone engendrée par la récolte forestière. Cette dette peut être compensée que si une partie du bois récolté est convertie en produits du bois de longue durée et avec un effet de substitution élevé. Le besoin de données empiriques sur le taux d'accumulation du carbone par la succession végétale sur les friches agricoles en l'absence de boisement a été souligné afin de mieux quantifier le scénario de référence. L'intégration de l'impact des changements climatiques sur la croissance des plantations en fonction de trois projections de forçage radiatif (RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5 et RCP 8.5) montre que le potentiel d'atténuation des scénarios de boisement avec pin gris sur les dénudés secs et avec pin rouge sur les friches agricoles permettent une séquestration du carbone significative. Le choix des essences à planter et la stratégie d'aménagement forestier ont un impact plus important sur les stocks de carbone que l'impact des changements climatiques sur la croissance des arbres. Finalement, le climat a eu un impact sur la quantité et la qualité du panier de produits du bois en faisant varier le diamètre à hauteur de poitrine (DHP) des tiges récoltées en fonction des différents scénarios de forçage radiatif. L'augmentation de la proportion des produits du bois à longue durée retarde les émissions de GES dans le temps, mais produit davantage d'émissions de méthane (CH₄) en raison de la décomposition sous conditions anaérobies. Le recyclage des produits du bois en fin de vie à des fins de bioénergie a permis de réduire considérablement les émissions en évitant complètement la décomposition dans les dépotoirs. La présente étude a permis de mieux comprendre le rôle des plantations en tant que stratégie d'atténuation pour contribuer aux objectifs nationaux de réduction des émissions de GES en plus de préciser le rôle de l'intensification de la production ligneuse en matière d'atténuation des changements climatiques.Increasing forest area can mitigate climate change by increasing forest carbon sinks and ensuring a sustained supply of wood products to markets. This project aimed to quantify the mitigation potential of afforestation and reforestation of unproductive territories in Quebec, considering the forest sector value chain (forests - products - markets). This study allowed us to evaluate the climate change mitigation potential of afforestation and reforestation of open woodlands and poorly regenerated burns in the spruce-moss bioclimatic domain and of abandoned farmlands in the balsam fir-yellow birch bioclimatic domain. The results showed that afforestation without harvesting generated a greater potential for forest carbon sequestration when plantations reached maturity, whereas harvested plantations take several decades to recover the carbon loss generated by forest harvesting. This debt can only be offset if some of the harvested wood is converted into long-lived wood products with a high substitution effect. The need for empirical data on the rate of carbon accumulation by natural succession on abandoned farmlands in the absence of afforestation was emphasized to better quantify the baseline scenario. Integrating the impact of climate change on forest growth under three radiative forcing projections (RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5, and RCP 8.5) showed that the mitigation potential of afforestation scenarios with jack pine on open woodlands and red pine on abandoned farmlands provided significant carbon sequestration. The choice of species to be planted and the forest management strategy had a greater impact on carbon stocks than the impact of climate change on tree growth. The quantity and quality of the basket of harvested wood product varied due to the impact of climate on the diameter at breast height (DBH) of harvested stems. Increasing the proportion of long-lived wood products delayed GHG emissions over time but produced more methane (CH₄) emissions due to decomposition under anaerobic conditions. Cascading use of wood products at their end of life into bioenergy conversion had significantly reduced emissions by avoiding decomposition in landfills. This study provided a better understanding of the role of afforestation and reforestation as mitigation strategies to contribute to national GHG emission reduction goals and to clarify the role intensification of wood production in climate change mitigation
