The paper by Daniel Arens and colleagues, published in this issue of The Veterinary Journal, is one of several that are further characterising the sheep as a model for osteoporosis – a severe debilitating metabolic disease that affects mainly women (Arens et al., 2007). Why do we need an animal model for osteoporosis when there is an abundance of human subjects, especially as baby boomers age? ...

In traditional natural language systems, the channel of communication between the user and the system was a narrow and constraining device. In many areas natural Ian guage-based information access requires the possibility for the user of exploring the domain and a system's comfortable habitability. The present work presents a rationale for building intelligent interfaces that combine natural la...

In this paper by using some conditions, we show that the weak amenability of (2n)-th dual of a Banach algebra A for some $ngeq 1$ implies the weak amenability of A.

Let $$X$$ be a class of extended numerical functions on domain $$D$$ $$d$$ -dimensional Euclidean space $$\mathbb{R}^{d}$$ , $$H\subset X$$ . Given $$u\in and $$M\in we write $$u\prec_{H}M$$ if there is function $$h\in H$$ such that $$u+h\leq M$$ We consider this special preorder $$\prec_{H}$$ for pair subharmonic $$u$$ $$M$$ in cases when $$H$$ the all harmonic or convex cone $$h\not\equiv-\in...
