Equivalences of logic programs

TL;DR: In this article, identical equivalences based upon functional semantics [P] and logical consequences of P allow the application of two different and powerful tools to reason about programs, in particular, these equivalences seem ideal for discussing the deductive structure of such deductive databases.

What Educators in Catholic Schools Might Expect When Addressing Gay and Lesbian Issues: A Study of Needs and Barriers

TL;DR: This article investigated how educators in Catholic high schools were addressing the topic of homosexuality and what barriers they encountered in efforts at implementation, and found that their reasons for addressing the issue included educators being better trained in gay and lesbian youth issues, and students "coming out" in their schools.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Separability of polyhedra for optimal filtering of spatial and constraint data

TL;DR: The key notion of separability classification is introduced and study, which is a general tool potentially useful in many applications of a computational geometry flavor and is best suited to applications in which the spatial data is relatively static, some directions are more dominant than others, and the dimension of the space is not high.
Proceedings Article

Invited Talk: Some Issues and Trends in the Semantics of Logic Programming

TL;DR: In this article, a user-oriented formalism for the Herbrand universe is proposed, where the objects in this formalism are the uninterpreted terms over the herbrand universe.
Book ChapterDOI

Elimination of negation in term algebras

TL;DR: The initial results appear to be very specialized with complex combinatorial proofs, but they have applications and relevance to a number of important areas: unification, learning, abstract data types and rewriting systems, constraints and constructive negation in logic languages.
