Answer set programming (ASP) is a form of non-monotonic reasoning which is based on the stable-model semantics. Intuitively, an answer set program can be seen as a collection of rules on which non-deterministic forward chaining is applied. Among others, ASP has proven successful as an elegant and convenient vehicle for commonsense reasoning in discrete domains, [...]

Oversampling of a coherent diffraction pattern from a single object is a fairly recent method to solve the phase problem in diffraction techniques. In this way, shape and structure of an individual object can be retrieved without prior assumptions about the phase shift. The oversampling method, pioneered by Prof. John Miao at the University of [...]
