Here, we respond to three peer commentaries on our paper, ‘A hypothetical neurological association between dehumanization and human rights abuses’.1 In that paper, we hypothesized that dehumanizing implicit biases dampen the response of neuralmechanisms of pain empathy to (and thereby reduce empathy for) implicitly subordinated or dehumanized targets, perhaps offering some insight into the asso...

In this paper we establish some weighted Simpson type inequalities and give several applications for the r − moments and the expectation of a continuous random variable. An approximation for Euler’s Beta mapping is given as well.

NINETY-FIVE years after his deathJames Young Simpson is generally remembered for his pioneer work on anaesthesia. Gynaecologists also celebrate his memory daily by their use of the uterine sound; obstetricians occasionally resurrect such instruments as his obstetric forceps, and may even know of his early work in 'modern' fields such as vacuum extraction. Two other notable and very different fa...

We have read the point of view presented elegantly by Tzeng and Panerai (2018) with interest. We have to admit there is little hard evidence on which we can base our preference for enhanced blood pressure variability. The arguments against, however, are also not very strong. The argument is perhaps more strongly based on basic principles than solid evidence. We fully agree with Tzeng and Panera...

This expository paper traces the development of the Newton-Raphson method for solving nonlinear algebraic equations through the extant notes, letters, and publications of Isaac Newton, Joseph Raphson, and Thomas Simpson. It is shown how Newton's formulation differed from the iterative process of Raphson, and that Simpson was the first o give a general formulation, interms of fluxional calculus,...

In this paper, a numerical method for integration of fuzzy functions is considered. Fuzzy Newton-Cotes formula, such as fuzzy trapezoidal method and fuzzy Simpson method are calculated by integration of fuzzy functions on two and three equally space points. Also the composite fuzzy trapezoidal and composite fuzzy Simpson method are proposed for n equally space points. The proposed method are il...

We study a generalisation of Simpson reversal (also known as Simpson's paradox or the Yule-Simpson effect) to $2 \times 2 2$ contingency tables and characterise cases for which it can cannot occur with two combinatorial-geometric lemmas. also present conjecture based on some computational experiments expected likelihood such events.

The Berger-Felzenbaum-Fraenkel approach to Covering Systems is exposited. In particular their gorgeous proof of the famous an = an−1 theorem for exact covering systems (found independently by Jamie Simpson), is reviewed, and the analogy of their approach to Boolean tautologies in Disjunctive Normal Form is pointed out.
