The Bible is a cross-cultural (cc) training document. It has the only absolutes that we possess. A member of any culture can use it safely to relate both to God and to fellow humans. Ted Ward, a missiologist, has said that commonalties outweigh differences among people. We are more alike than dissimilar. The image of God rests on all people (Gen. 1:27). All people have a longing for eternity in...

Without doubt the authentic type of these gures exists in the mind of God the Creator and shares His eternity. Abstract The notion of a Belyi function is a main technical tool which relates the combinatorics of maps (i.e., graphs embedded into surfaces) with Galois theory, algebraic number theory, and the theory of Riemann surfaces. In this paper we compute Belyi functions for a class of semi-r...

A stability-indicating ultra-performance liquid chromatography method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of a fixed dose combination of atorvastatin and ezetimibe in bulk drugs. The developed method was successfully applied to the simultaneous quantitative analysis of the combination drugs in tablet. The chromatographic separation was performed on a Kromasil Eternity...

Ancient texts are interpreted by critics in order to assign them a given semantics. However, the semantics to be associated to these texts is not unique and different critics may have different conflicting opinions about their “correct” interpretation. In this paper, we propose to adopt argumentation theory, a technique to manage conflicting information, together with Semantic Web languages and...

This paper deals with an important problem with large and complex Bayesian networks. Exact inference in these networks is simply infeasible due to the huge storage requirements of exact methods. Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, however, are able to deal with these large networks but to do this they require an initial legal connguration to set oo the sampler. So far non-deterministic methods li...

There's a proposition proclaimed to be new; it existed in eternity before us. The early authors are forgotten; and also the contemporary ones won't have any remembrance, though they are modern. Abstract We point out that a natural and direct way of analyzing the recurrence fm+1 = bmfm ?fm?1 is by means of continued fractions theory. Applications to exotic numeration systems and to games are giv...

The present paper considers a hybrid local search approach to the Eternity II puzzle and to unsigned, rectangular, edge matching puzzles in general. Both an original mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulation and a novel Max-Clique formulation are presented for this NP-hard problem. Although the presented formulations remain computationally intractable for medium and large sized instan...

1. There are two ways to consider the eternity of the world: the one focussing on the world’s substance, the other on its motion. The latter sort of consideration is proper to physics and so should be passed over in the present science – even though we will not be able to avoid mentioning it below when we demonstrate that God exists and that there cannot be an infinite regress among efficient c...
