Los límites cuantificables (de cuantificación) son generalmente más altos para estos procedimientos Explanation: Suerte!!!!!!!!!! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 mins (2005-05-21 17:54:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- an·a·lyte (ăn\'ə-līt\') n. A substance or chemical constituent that is undergoing analysis. http://www.answers.com/analytes -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2005-05-21 17:55:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- quantification In language and logic, quantification is a construct that specifies the extent of validity of a predicate, that is the extent to which a predicate holds over a range of things. A language element which generates a quantification is called a quantifier. The resulting statement is a quantified statement, and we say we have quantified over the predicate. Quantification is used in both natural languages and formal languages. In natural language, examples of quantifiers are for all, for some; many, few, a lot are also quantifiers. In formal languages, quantification is a formula constructor that produces new formulas from old ones. The semantics of the language specifies how the constructor is interpreted as an extent of validity. Quantification is an example of a variable-binding operation. The two fundamental kinds of quantification in predicate logic are universal quantification and existential quantification. These concepts are covered in detail in their individual articles; here we discuss features of quantification that apply in both cases. Other kinds of quantification include uniqueness quantification. Need for quantification in natural language Natural language makes frequent use of quantification: * Every glass in my recent order was chipped. * Some of the people standing across the river have white armbands. * Most of the people I talked to didn\'t have a clue who the candidates were. * Everyone in the waiting room had at least one complaint against Dr. Ballyhoo. * There was somebody in his class that was able to correctly answer every one of the questions I submitted. * A lot of people are idiots. Linguists regard even some slang or scatological expressions semantically as quantifiers: * There were a shitload of problems with that new software we bought. There exists no simple way of reformulating any one of these expressions as a conjunction or disjunction of sentences, each a simple predicate of an individual such as That wine glass was chipped. These examples also suggest that the construction of quantified expressions in natural language can be syntactically very complicated. Fortunately, for mathematical assertions, the quantification process is syntactically more straightforward. The study of quantification in natural languages is much more difficult than the corresponding problem for formal languages. This comes in part from the fact that the grammatical structure of natural language sentences may conceal the logical structure. Moreover, mathematical conventions strictly specify the range of validity for formal language quantifiers; for natural language, specifying the range of validity requires dealing with non-trivial semantic problems. Richard Montague\'s Montague grammars made significant contributions to the formal semantics of quantifiers in natural language. http://www.answers.com/quantification -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2005-05-21 17:57:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Podría ser también: \"los márgenes cuantificables son, por lo general, muchos más altos para estos análisis\". Buen fin de semana!!!!!!!!!!! |

por lo general, los límites de cuantificación son mucho mayores para estos analitos Explanation: Un "analito" no es un "procedimiento". Check this out! De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre. En química analítica un analito es el componente (elemento, compuesto o ión) de interés analítico de una muestra. ... analítica que se obtiene sobre el analito en la muestra puede ser cualitativa (si el analito está presente o no en una ... |
