Most-specific-generalization

The concept of most-specific-generalization (msg) was introduced independently by [Plotkin 70] and [Reynolds 70]. We focus on terms and atoms, rather than on wffs. 

Definition 10-3 The most-specific-generalization of a non-empty set S of terms, denoted msg(S), is defined as follows ... 

Classification process - such as a tree diagram that shows how different things can be categorized from the most general to the most specific terms. 

The goal of being fast and easy to use is one that every software developer will claim to. The MARS system, however, is faster and easier than most commercial general systems and many specific commercial systems we have evaluated. 

By selectively affecting gene transcription and the consequent production of appropriate target mRNAs, the amounts of specific proteins are changed and metabolic processes are influenced. The influence of each of these hormones is quite specific generally, the hormone affects less than 1% of the genes, mRNA, or proteins in a target cell sometimes only a few are affected. The nuclear actions of steroid, thyroid, and retinoid hormones are quite well defined. Most evidence sug-... 

Schmidt It is thought to be Cdk4-specific, but it comes out of screens for general tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It seems to be the most specific, and it is the furthest along, so you could probably obtain it more easily. 

After presenting the results obtained by each model, an integration of all them is done in this section going from the general background information (China) to the most specific case scenario (Guiyu). 

The general scheme for preparation of the alkylated adenosine and deoxyadenosine involved the interaction of the appropriate amino-hydrocarbon with a 6-chloropurine riboside (116). This allowed for the most specific interaction without too many byproducts. The molecular structures determined from diffraction studies are shown in Figures 24 and 25. In Figure 24 the shape of an alkylated nucleoside (115) is compared with that of the unalkylated form,... 

Of course, not all paragraphs will fit so neatly into the general — specific or specific — general formats and not all paragraphs will have the topic sentence first or last. But the inductive and deductive formats work for most paragraphs, and form the backbone of paragraphing strategy. 

The bulk (or volume)-specific resistance is one of the most useful general electrical properties. Specific resistance is a physical quantity that may vary more than 10 in readily available materials. This unusually wide range of conductivity allows wide variety of electrical applications. Conductive materials, such as copper, have specific resistance values of about 10 fl-cm, whereas good insulators such as polytetrafluoroethylene and LDPE have values of about 10 fl-cm. Specific resistance is calculated from the following equation where R is the resistance in ohms, a is the pellet area in square centimeters, t is the pellet thickness in centimeter, and P is the specific resistance in ohm-centimeter ... 

As demonstrated below, a primary charge viewed as a solvated electron or the molecular ion residing in an inert liquid does not account for experimental observations in many, if not in most, of the systems. While we cannot offer a specific, general model of these exceptional ions, we provide a general introduction to the known properties of such species. Furthermore, we argue that these species comprise the rule rather than the exception. The reader is invited to reach his or her own conclusions.
