C'est dans une chambre modeste, aux rideaux défraîchis et à la plomberie fatiguée, de l'Hotel Zolotaia Dolina à Akademgorodok, qu'un jour du mois d'octobre 1987 un jeune mathématicien prophétisa devant moi en ces termes : "If you believe in Cherlin's Conjecture, you must explain why, in a simple algebraic group, the centralizers of the generics points, which are certainly the maximal tori, are ...

While the machinery of quantitative genetics can blissfully function in complete ignorance of any of the underlying genetic details, we are certainly interested (at least one some level) on the genetic basis of trait variation. At the most practical level, if a gene of major effect is segregating in our population of interest, we would certainly like to not only to be aware of this, but also to...

ritic Tanacs Ferenc has described “Hajónapló” [Logbook] (1987), a short story written by Ottlik Géza, as “a Borgesian exercise in transfictionalizing certain obsessive paradoxes of national identity, authorship, writing and language” (168). Certainly, Ottlik seems to have faithfully adopted the skewed world vision, the penchant for linguistic invention and a mode of tongue-in-cheek historical (...

An inclusive perspective certainly requires revisiting the intersection between families, disability, and environment. However, this alone will not bring about a more approach to families unless inclusivity is also embraced in broader culture. Cultural barriers continue pose greatest challenge building framework of inclusion that supports parents.

Abstract Physics teachers at any school level are given a simple but heartfelt hint: artificial intelligence platforms certainly important and can be useful in many situations; however, they cannot replace natural when it comes to doing the ‘dirty work’ of gradually learning study method mathematical tools.

An increasing number of papers indicate the usefulness of exhaled-breath condensate (EBC) in respiratory medicine. A European Respiratory Society statement on this subject was recently published.1 For the purpose of estimating the extent of inflammation in the airways, EBC seemed to perform well and might enable physicians to monitor the therapy of, for instance, asthma and chronic obstructive ...

One of the most remarkable products of the reaction against Aristotelian philosophy, in the form that was handed down by late Mediaeval philosophers, was the rise of an entirely new philosophical system which came to be called ’Empiricism”. This was particularly associated with British philosophers, and was both instrumental in the rise of modern science, and a by-product of it. Its first major...

Nash equilibrium is based on the idea that a strategy profile is stable if no player can benefit from a unilateral deviation. We observe that some locally rational deviations in a strategic form game may not be profitable anymore if one takes into account the possibility of further deviations by the other players. As a solution, we propose the concept of farsighted pre-equilibrium, which takes ...

What makes people smarter than machines? They certainly are not quicker or more precise. Yet people are far better at perceiving objects in natural scenes and noting their relations , at understanding language and retrieving contextually appropriate information from memory, at making plans and carrying out contextually appropriate actions , and at a wide range of other natural cognitive .tasks....
