The intent of this paper is to study generalized inductive definitions on the basis of Constructive Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory, CZF. In theories such as classical ZermeloFraenkel Set Theory, it can be shown that every inductive definition over a set gives rise to a least and a greatest fixed point, which are sets. This principle, notated GID, can also be deduced from CZF plus the full impredic...

this paper deals with the behavior at infinity of solutions to a class of wave equations with nonlinear dampingterms defined in a semi-infinite cylinder. the spatial behavior of solutions is studied and an alternative ofphragmén-lindelöf type theorems is obtained in the results. the main point in the contribution is the use of energy method.

The temporal priority principle states that all causes must precede their effects. It is widely assumed that children's causal reasoning is guided by this principle from early in development. However, the empirical studies that have examined children's use of the principle, most of which were conducted some decades ago, in fact show inconsistent findings. Some researchers have argued that 3-yea...

the inherent dignity is a divine bounty from god to man and since it is inherent and intrinsic in human nature, its dispossession is not possible. according to some of the noble verses of the qur’ān, human dignity can be proved as a type of honor that denotes enjoyment of the bounty of reasoning, free will, divine breath, power of choice, etc. and all human beings equally enjoy it and a princip...

the goals of the 3Rs (replacing animals with non-animals (or animals of lower sentience), reduction in the number of animals used, and refining procedures so less harm is caused to the animals that are used) have gained wide acceptance over the 50 years since they were first proposed. These goals are now widely known and generally well accepted, both among institutions using animals in research...

Man only progresses by slowly elaborating from age to age the essence and the totality of a universe deposited within him. The Holographic Principle holds the information in any region of space and time exists on the surface of that region. Layers of the holographic, universal " now " go from the inception of the universe to the present. Universal Consciousness is the timeless source of actuali...

Neuroimaging studies of brain-damaged patients diagnosed as in the vegetative state suggest that the patients might be conscious. This might seem to raise no new ethical questions given that in related disputes both sides agree that evidence for consciousness gives strong reason to preserve life. We question this assumption. We clarify the widely held but obscure principle that consciousness is...
