J. J. Lister and the establishment of histology.

AMONG THE 1200 microscopes in the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, one stands out for its special importance in the history of microscopy and medicine. This is number 234/1949, which was made in 1826 by James Smith' to the design of Joseph Jackson Lister (1786-1869), father of the famous Lord Lister. The instrument was presented to the Museum by the Misses Lister, and its provena...

Religion and Spirituality: Adam Smith versus J-J Rousseau

Adam Smith and J-J Rousseau share some common ground when it comes to religion, namely that they were born into  and educated in cultural contexts deeply shaped by Reformed Christianity. However, close consideration of their writings on religion reveal marked difference. This paper explores those differences and finds that Rousseau and Smith are radically at odds on this score. Smith has almost...

IDEAL J *-ALGEBRAS

A C *-algebra A is called an ideal C * -algebra (or equally a dual algebra) if it is an ideal in its bidual A**. M.C.F. Berglund proved that subalgebras and quotients of ideal C*-algebras are also ideal C*-algebras, that a commutative C *-algebra A is an ideal C *-algebra if and only if it is isomorphicto C (Q) for some discrete space ?. We investigate ideal J*-algebras and show that the a...

Generalized concept of $J$-basis

A generalization of Schauder basis associated with the concept of generalized analytic functions is introduced. Corresponding concepts of density, completeness, biorthogonality and basicity are defined. Also, corresponding concept of the space of coefficients is introduced. Under certain conditions for the  corresponding operators, some properties of the space of coefficients and basicity crite...
