Section I of this Note analyzes the cases in which the Commission and the Court of Justice have implied a doctrine of economic unity and argues that this economic unity exemption to the prohibitions of article 85 may indeed be a limited one. Section II sets forth the theoretical and practical difficulties that such a limited economic unity doctrine entails. Finally, section III presents an alte...

What do you think is the big question to be answered in your field? Our big question is consciousness. This is on a par with the nature of matter, space, and time, and the origin of the universe. It was once a dark, unfundable subject but thanks to the efforts of a few like Christof Koch, Francis Crick, Bernie Baars, Dan Dennett, Stan Dehaene and others, it has taken its deserved central place ...

since welfare, as a philosophical issue, has considered as an indication of man’s highest intellectual status and dignity, it always attracted the philosopher’s attention and they continuously asked weather: -did all philosophers agree about the same meaning of welfare? -did they agree about its determination and dimensions? -can welfare from the philosophical meaning contain religious or ethic...

Although the field of non-conscious learning is full with debating studies about the dissociation of explicit and implicit systems, not much emphasis is laid on the understanding of the applied methods. In the literature we found convertible application of the tests measuring implicit learning without much empirical support. In this study we made a crossvalidation examination of the three main ...

BACKGROUND We examined the impact of data source and exposure measurement error for ambient NO2 on risk estimates derived from a case-crossover study of emergency room visits for asthma in Windsor, Canada between 2002 and 2009. METHODS Paired personal and fixed-site NO2 data were available from an independent population (47 children and 48 adults) in Windsor between 2005 and 2006. We used lin...

We solve the problem of computing the residual reliability (the RES problem) for all classes of P-threshold graphs for which efficient structural characterizations based on decomposition to indecomposable components have been established. In particular, we give a constructive proof of existence of linear algorithms for computing residual reliability of pseudodomishold, domishold, matrogenic and...

Using language of dg PROPs we give a new short proof of existence of star products on (formal) germs of Poisson manifolds.

This paper explores the relationship between Kidney Essence, Yang, Yin and Qi, and the Mingmen, their origins, the variety of functions they provide to the human organism, mentally, physically and spiritually, and the fundamental paradox they represent in terms of unity and polarity. This exercise is part of an ongoing personal exploration in the service of a more complete understanding of the ...
