Patients in emergency situations with impaired consciousness are unable to give informed consent to participate in clinical trials. In this situation, some ethics committees ask that consent is obtained from a relative or a legal representative. Others however, waive the need for informed consent and allow the doctor in charge to take responsibility for entering such patients. This study used d...

Assertions and arguments involving notions, such as 'generally', 'most', 'many', etc., occur often in ordinary language and in some branches of science. Filters can be used for ...

In this note we construct strange attractors in a class of skew product dynamical systems. A dynamical system of the class is a bundle map of a trivial bundle whose base is a compact metric space and the fiber is the non-negative half real line. The map on the base is a homeomorphism preserving an ergodic measure. The fiber maps either are strictly monotone and strictly concave or collapse at z...
