I n t h e C o u r t s The analogy to the health care decision is nonexistent and the argument lacks merit Texas Unconvincing in Clean Air Suit O n law school exams, I often reward students for creativity , even if their legal argument may ultimately lack merit. After all, they are still students and not yet judges responsible for the actual resolution of legal issues. That is why I would have l...

We describe receptive and distributive needle/syringe sharing among injection drug users (IDUs) in Kabul, Afghanistan. In this cross-sectional study, IDUs completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Logistic regression identified correlates of needle sharing in the last six months. Receptive and distributive sharing in the last six months were reported by 28.2% and 28.7% of participant...

A resolution of the intersection of a finite number of subgroups of an abelian group by means of their sums is constructed, provided the lattice generated by these subgroups is distributive. This is used for detecting singularities of modules over Dedekind rings. A generalized Chinese remainder theorem is derived as a consequence of the above resolution. The GelfandNaimark duality between finit...

From 1550 onwards, London grew and changed enormously, with the attendant problems of disease and disorder. The combined impact of "rapid immigration, recurrent mortality crises and population growth applied critical pressures to the social and administrative structures" ofthe metropolis. ' This paper gives an overview ofhow local authorities endeavoured to deal with problems of drainage, water...

A locally small category E is totally distributive (as defined by Rosebrugh-Wood) if there exists a string of adjoint functors t ⊣ c ⊣ y, where y : E → Ê is the Yoneda embedding. Saying that E is lex totally distributive if, moreover, the left adjoint t preserves finite limits, we show that the lex totally distributive categories with a small set of generators are exactly the injective Grothend...

in this paper, we establish the theory of fuzzy ideal convergence on completely distributive lattices and give characterizations of some topological notions. we also study fuzzy limit structures and discuss the relationship between fuzzy co-topologies and fuzzy limit structures.

We present an overview of the theory of self-distributive quasigroups, both in the two-sided and one-sided cases, and relate the older results to the modern theory of quandles, to which self-distributive quasigroups are a special case. Most attention is paid to the representation results (loop isotopy, linear representation, homogeneous representation), as the main tool to investigate self-dist...
