In this technical report we describe a general class of monoids for which (sub)sequential rational can be characterised in terms of a congruence relation in the flavour of Myhill-Nerode relation. The class of monoids that we consider can be described in terms of natural algebraic axioms, contains the free monoids, groups, the tropical monoid, and is closed under Cartesian. 1 Inroduction The pro...

Micro/sub-micron emulsion and related systems have received a lot of attention in the last years for their common use as vehicles for topical administration. These systems can be defined as fine emulsion dispersion with droplet sizes in the sub-micron range, and consisted of an aqueous phase, oily phase, and surfactants that are necessary for stabilizing the interface and forming the drops [1]....

Abstract We consider two possible options of the energy dependency elastic and inelastic overlap functions. Those correspond to saturation black disk limit (BEL effect) unitarity (REL at s → ∞. Relation REL effect increase ratio σ el ( )/ tot ) emergence ring picture LHC is underlined.

Botswana exhibits a medium fertility rate (i.e.4.0-5.0 births per woman). One of the three countries in sub-Sahara Africa (Kenya and Zimbabwe are the other two) reported to be experiencing incipient fertility decline, an indication of the subcontinent's entry into the second phase of the fertility transition after undergoing significant changes in the proximate determinants of fertility over th...

Because of the flexibility and complexity of Newly Emerging Science and Technologies (NESTs), traditional statistical analysis fails to capture technology evolution in detail. Generating competitive technical intelligence supports industrial, governmental, and academic decisions to guide future development trends. Patents are one of the most important NESTs data sources and are pertinent to dev...
