Algebra × Topology = Analysis Important Lie groups are the vector groups Rn, their compact quotients Rn/Zn, the general linear groups GLn(R), and the orthogonal groups On(R). For each of these the group structure and the real analytic manifold structure is the obvious one; for example, GLn(R) is open as a subset of Rn 2 , and thus an open submanifold of the analytic manifold Rn2 . Hilbert’s 5th...

Since graph theory was considered to have begun some 275 years ago, it has evolved into a subject with a fascinating history, a host of interesting problems and numerous diverse applications. While graph theory has developed ever-increasing connections with other areas of mathematics and a variety of scholarly fields, it is its beauty that has attracted so many to it. As with the previous editi...

The Telex middleware facilitates the design of collaborative applications in a mobile environment. It provides optimistic replication, tentative execution and disconnected work. It solves conflicts based on semantic information provided by applications. We study in particular a Shared Calendar (SC) application, whereby mobile users can create and manage meetings in a collection of shared calend...

DOI: 10.1002/advs.201700872 Who would have believed it? When we launched Advanced Science in December 2014, everyone in the editorial team agreed that it was a fantastic idea to create a forum for top science, open to read, download, and share with everyone, but the development that this young journal has undergone during the last three years has stunned even the most optimistic among us. Figur...

BACKGROUND The present study aimed to examine the impact of "curricula for undergraduate education in oriental medicine (OM)/complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)" on student awareness of OM. A questionnaire survey was conducted involving the Nagasaki University School of Dentistry (NUSD), a university that implements education in OM as part of its undergraduate curriculum, and Tokyo Den...
