The legislation and the texts of the most important medical writers of Byzantine times have been studied with reference to abortions, the ethical aspect of this social and medico-legal problem, the theological and the scientific approach. The theoretical basis of the permanent and absolute condemnation of all kinds of abortions except those permitted for medical reasons, is greatly influenced b...

Some techniques and results in the renormalization theory of real and complex dynamical systems are summarized. The construction of the induced Markov map of [−1, 1] from a Feigenbaum-like map is presented. We show that this induced Markov map has bounded geometry. We discuss some property of infinitely renormalizable quadratic polynomials and show that the Julia set of an infinitely renormaliz...

In recent years, supporting intellectual property right has gained more significance. Intellectual property rights could be considered as legal rights resulting from intellectual activities in industrial, scientific, literary and artistic fields. Today, many countries are seeking practical information about using intellectual property to improve economic growth. Intellectual property rights hav...

An MI-group is an algebraic structure based on a generalization of the concept of a monoid that satisfies the cancellation laws and is endowed with an invertible anti-automorphism representing inversion. In this paper, a topology is defined on an MI-group $G$ under which $G$ is  a topological MI-group. Then we will identify open, discrete and compact MI-subgroups. The connected components of th...

D. Grigoriev-G. Koshevoy recently proved that tropical Schur polynomials have (at worst) polynomial tropical semiring complexity. They also conjectured tropical skew Schur polynomials have at least exponential complexity; we establish a polynomial complexity upper bound. Our proof uses results about (stable) Schubert polynomials, due to R. P. Stanley and S. Billey-W. Jockusch-R. P. Stanley, tog...

BACKGROUND The slaughterhouse is a central processing point for food animals and thus a source of both demographic data (age, breed, sex) and health-related data (reason for condemnation and condemned portions) that are not available through other sources. Using these data for syndromic surveillance is therefore tempting. However many possible reasons for condemnation and condemned portions exi...

We show that the class of Boolean contact algebras has the joint embedding property and the amalgamation property, and that the class of connected Boolean contact algebras has the joint embedding property but not the amalgamation property.

The present book has the...purpose of straightening thought about war and peace.... [I]t seemed best to refrain from condemnation altogether. For indignation is so easy and satisfying a mood that it is apt to prevent one from attending to any facts that oppose it. If the reader should object that I have abandoned ethics for the false doctrine that “to understand everything is to pardon everythi...

Most of the frequent techniques in text mining are based on the arithmetic scrutiny of a idiom, either word or slogan. Arithmetical scrutiny of a term incidence captures the consequence of the term within a manuscript only. However, two provisos can have the similar regularity in their documents, but one term contributes more to the connotation of its sentences than the further term. Thus, the ...
