If one is interested in discriminating semantically between tautologies, then a refinement of the notions 'meaning' and 'equivalence' is needed: 'meaning' should see distinctions between tautologies, and 'equivalence' should be sensitive for the thus refined notion of meaning.
Super efficiency refines the notions of efficiency and other kinds of proper efficiency.
Further, we propose to refine the notion of SAS and SES in order to take inner holes in a solute molecule into account or not.
To this end we refine the notion of energy services and propose a framework to systematically design quality differentiated energy services for consumers.
In this paper we refine the notion of tree-decomposition by introducing acyclic (R,D -clustering, wheR,D -clustering subsets of vertices of a graph and R and D are the maximum radius and the maximum diameter of these subsets.
"It's a beautiful solution to a problem that I didn't even think of… How can you create trust between people without central coordination?" Rouach's fascination with that concept of anonymous trust is a thread that runs through his future endeavors as well — businesses that all attempt to refine that notion of anonymous, verified trust.
We refine the notion of embedding in order to obtain a formal tool for the comparison of the relative expressive power of different languages, by taking into account also the intended architectures on which the software components described using those languages are executed.
Analysis of observations including both stationary and mobile (surface and aerial) in-situ and remote sensing (passive and active) instruments generates new ideas and refines existing notions.
It was the environmental movement, launched in the 1960s, that set the stage for periodic international commissions and conferences which have introduced and attempted to refine the notion of sustainability as a guiding principle governing economic growth, or, at least, stability.
Some researchers have sought to refine the notion of centrality by considering interaction patterns of central nodes: those that interact with many interaction partners simultaneously are called "party" hubs whilst those that interact with a few of their partners at a time are called "date" hubs [ 128].
The Texas courts have since refined the notion of "tortious interference," an ambiguous concept that generally means wrongful meddling and was Penzoil's chief legal argument against Texaco.
