Multiagent reasoning with probability,time, and beliefs

Any agent interacting with the real world must be able to reason about uncertainty in the world, about the actions that may occur in the world (either due to the agent or those initiated by other agents), about the (probabilistic) beliefs of other agents, and how these (probabilistic) beliefs are changing over time. In this article, we develop a family of logics that a reasoning agent may use to perform successively more sophisticated types of reasoning in such environments. We also characterize different types of agents. Furthermore, we provide a logic that enables a systems designer (who may have populated an environment with a collection of such autonomous agents) to reason about the system of agents as a whole. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Construction of calibration curves for methods of analyzing environmental samples

A formalized procedure is proposed for constructing calibration curves and evaluating their error in methods developed for the quantitative chemical analysis of environmental samples. The procedure satisfies the requirements of government metrological standards. Examples from practice are given to illustrate the construction of linear and nonlinear calibration curves and the corresponding confidence intervals.

Enhancement of the luminescence yield of Er3+ ions at λ=1.54μmm in ZBLAN glass additionally doped with Eu3+ and Tb3+ and pumped in the range λ=0.975 μm

In fluorozirconate glasses the luminescence yield of Er ₂ ³⁺ ions on the ⁴ I _13/2–⁴ I _15/2 lasing transition was increased more than tenfold by additional doping with Yb³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions. Pis’ma Zh. Tekh. Fiz. 24, 81–85 (May 12, 1998)
