For our normal form transformation procedure, we start from a formula like ϕ ′, which is the conjunction of 3-clauses, each formed from probabilistic atoms or their negation using only ≥. Observe that a probability assessment in the form P(ψ i )≤α i is equivalent to the assignment P(¬ψ i )≥1−α i.
By the same equations, each of the conjunctions A and B is equivalent to the conjunction of two propositions that are each conjunctions of n – 2 propositions, and so on, until A and B are two of the propositions Xi and Yj.
Or, as Maynard Smith and Szathmary (1995) stated, the conjunction of two or more events, each of which is improbable, is sufficient to make an evolutionary transition irreversible.
Anchoring references were: 0- the least desirable health state defined by the attributes (health state W) or dead - and 100-the most desirable health state or perfect health, defined as the conjunction of the top level at each attribute (health state P) [ 11 ].
In summary, a QDE is the conjunction of all its qualitative constraints, and each constraint links some qualitative variables.
Furthermore, it seems that belief distributes over conjunction, in this sense: anyone who believes the conjunction of a pair of propositions must also believe each of those propositions.
It requires subtle thinking, and the conjunction of law, markets, technology and norms to get right.
It defined the "civilisation crisis" as the conjunction of economic, environmental and democratic crises.
Bush wanted to remove Saddam, though military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD.
It sits on the Dalälven river at the conjunction of Västmanland, Dalarna and Gävleborg counties.
