let d be a division ring with centre k and dim, d< ? a valuation on k and v a noninvariant extension of ? to d. we define the initial ramfication index of v over ?, ?(v/ ?) .let a be a valuation ring of o with maximal ideal m, and v , v ,…, v noninvariant extensions of w to d with valuation rings a , a ,…, a . if b= a , it is shown that the following conditions are equivalent: (i) b is a finite...

In 1989 jürgen habermas opined that Carl Schmitt was unlikely to have the same ‘power of contagion in the Anglo-Saxon world’ as had Nietzsche and Heidegger. Too deep and unbridgeable was the spiritual gulf that separated the disgraced éminence grise of the ascending Axis power—publicly, at least, a virtual taboo figure within the Federal Republic—from the more liberal climes and political sensi...

Worten: elf) aus der (zur Zeit der Abfassung des Berichts) "Noch-DDR" (ich hoffe, daß Ingrid Matthäus-Meier Recht behält, die einmal anläßlich einer Parlamentsdebatte gesagt hat: "Ein Kennzeichen der deutschen Sprache ist ihre Unkaputtmachbarkeit.").

In practice, optimal screening designs for arbitrary run sizes are traditionally generated using the D-criterion with factor settings fixed at ±1, even when considering continuous factors levels in [−1,1]. This article identifies cases of undesirable estimation variance properties such D-optimal and argues that generally A-optimal tend to push variances closer their minimum possible value. New ...

We were quite nostalgic and wished to place on record that we share almost all of the experiences which the authors have mentioned. There is very little doubt that the academic environment at PGIMER is one of the best in the world. Here, we would like to share our thoughts on the nonacademic facets of PGI training so that future doctors coming out of this great institution (as well as other top...

Povezanost vitamina D i kože započinje sintezom u koži, a neprestano se istražuju uočavaju novi mehanizmi kojima najistraživaniji vitamin utječe na najveći organ ljudskoga tijela. Cilj je ovoga rada dati pregled dosadašnjih spoznaja o interakciji te utjecaju razina kožne bolesti. Po nekim istraživanjima suboptimalne razine nalaze čak 30 – 90 % stanovništva, procjenjuje da postoji manjak oko jed...
