Near-Universal Cycles for Subsets Exist

Let S be a cyclic n-ary sequence. We say that S is a universal cycle ((n, k)-Ucycle) for k-subsets of [n] if every such subset appears exactly once contiguously in S, and is a Ucycle packing if every such subset appears at most once. Few examples of Ucycles are known to exist, so the relaxation to packings merits investigation. A family {Sn} of (n, k)-Ucycle packings for fixed k is a near-Ucycl...

Does a Global Temperature Exist?

Physical, mathematical and observational grounds are employed to show that there is no physically meaningful global temperature for the Earth in the context of the issue of global warming. While it is always possible to construct statistics for any given set of local temperature data, an infinite range of such statistics is mathematically permissible if physical principles provide no explicit b...

Does a Hookworm Toxin Exist?

Many investigations have been devoted to the solution of the problem of the mechanism by which the hookworm exerts its deleterious effects. There is no doubt that the answer to the question is as complex as the syndrome produced by the hookworm. Loss of blood due to the sucking worm, increased by the prolonged oozing from the abandoned bites in jejunum and duodenum, is certainly one factor conc...
