Systems of germs of sets in infinite-dimensional spaces are introduced and studied. Such a system corresponds to a local zero-set of an ideal of the ring of analytic functions of infinite number of variables. Conversely, this system of germs defines the ideal of germs of analytic functions vanishing on it. A theorem of zeros is proved, stating that this ideal is the radical (in the complex case...

Memristors have pinched hysteresis loops in the V − I plane. Ideal memristors are everywhere non-linear, cross at zero and are rotationally symmetric. In this paper we extend memristor theory to produce different types of non-ideality and find that: including a background current (such as an ionic current) moves the crossing point away from zero; including a degradation resistance (that increas...

Plato in Theory of Philosopher-King believes that all of the members of ideal city-state, whether ruler or citizens, will attain happiness if the philosopher is the ruler. But there are paradoxes in the theory and the bases of the happiness are unstable too. In other words, Plato in his theory presents hierarchical dualities (Intelligible/Visible world, Episteme/ Doxa,True/ Untrue Or Shadow, …)...

a historical novel is a form of story-like narrative which is a combination of story and history. accordingly, we cannot easily comment whether, within this framework, it is the history that isbeing focused on by the author—as all the story’s elements are employed in the service of the historian—or history simplyplays an incidental role at the back stage of the story. the best exampleof the mix...

introduction: recent evidence has indicated that statins can reduce the incidence of both supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias with various mechanisms. the primary goal of the present study was to determine direct protective role of simvastatin in modifying concealed conduction and the zone of concealment in a simulated model of atrial fibrillation (af) in an isolated atrioventricular (...
