Getting Started with Ecclesiastes: Coming to Grips with Mortality Dr. Elaine Phillips, © 2013 Introduction Ecclesiastes presents the reader with alternately disturbing and oddly reassuring realities. While scholars differ as to whether these views are a comfortable fit with “orthodoxy” and debate how to label and understand the various attitudes expressed, Ecclesiastes unquestionably speaks to ...

We introduce a general expression which enables the parton distribution, unintegrated over the parton transverse momentum, to be obtained from the conventional parton densities. We use the formalism to study the effects of the transverse momentum qt of the incoming partonic system on the calculation of the transverse momentum spectra of prompt photons produced in high energy pp and pp̄ collision...

Ramanujan’s partition congruences can be proved by first showing that the coefficients in the expansions of (q; q)∞ satisfy certain divisibility properties when r = 4, 6 and 10. We show that much more is true. For these and other values of r , the coefficients in the expansions of (q; q)∞ satisfy arithmetic relations, and these arithmetic relations imply the divisibility properties referred to ...

Effective execution of applications using a parallel computing environment that share resources such as network bandwidth, I/O and main memory require that some sort of adaptive mechanism be put in place which enables efficient usage of these resources. The adaptation adjusts the most computationally intensive part of the application thus leading to an efficient execution. General Atomic and Mo...

In this paper, we study the qualitative behavior of the Cauchy problem of a hyperbolic model { pt −∇· (pq) = ∆p, x ∈ R, t > 0, qt −∇(ε|q| + p) = ε∆q, which is transformed from a singular chemotaxis system describing the effect of reinforced random walk in [17, 27]. When d = 1 and the initial data are prescribed around a constant ground state (p̄, 0) with p̄ ≥ 0, we prove the global asymptotic sta...

Shapiro. 4 Cipolla, Periodico. di Mat., 22, 36-41 (1907). For every m in (5a) equal to zero then N reduces to the number of sets of roots of (A), a fortnula known to V. A. Lebesgue, for n = 1, and this was em...

Recessive lethan mutations in the 3A1 to 3C2 region of the X-chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster were detected in 113 of 33,544 sperm treated by feeding 5 mM methyl methanesulfonate in 1% sucrose for 22 hours. Seven of the 113 lethans were sterile, leaving 106 for analysis by complementation tests. With only one exception, these mutants were found to have lesions restricted to single loci. On...

This 24-nation European–US study (1999–2000) of the democratic political values, attitudes, and behavior of adolescents uncovers a generally high level of self-predicted future political participation as adults. Four of five14-year-olds regard themselves as future voters, and 61% predict involvement in protest activities. Moreover, law breaking as an act of protest is almost as attractive in th...
