Earlier this year, after three years of planning and negotiations, a collection of approximately 100,000 Inuit drawings and prints was transferred on loan from the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative Ud. in the eastern Canadian Arctic to the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in southern Canada. The arrival of this collection marked the beginning of a multi-year co-operative project between the two ...

We introduce new kinds of p-adic hypergeometric functions. show these functions satisfy congruence relations similar to Dwork’s functions, so they are convergent also that there is a transformation formula between our and logarithmic type defined in Asakura (New syntomic regulators. arXiv:1811.03770 ) particular case.

Chemical kinds (e.g. gold) are generally treated as having timelessly fixed identities. Biological kinds (e.g. goldfinches) are generally treated as evolved and/or evolving entities. So what kind of kind is a biochemical kind? This paper defends the thesis that biochemical molecules are clustered chemical kinds, some of which–namely, evolutionarily conserved units–are also biological kinds. On ...

These notes deal with various kinds of distance functions and related properties and measurements for sets and functions.

In this paper, the extended finite element method (XFEM) is employed to investigate the statics and vibration problems of cracked isotropic bars and beams. Three kinds of elements namely the standard, the blended and the enriched elements are utilized to discretize the structure and model cracks. Two techniques referred as the increase of the number of Gauss integration points and the rectangle...
