In [3] an uncountably categorical group is constructed that has a non-locallymodular geometry and does not allow the interpretation of a eld. We consider a system of elementary axioms ful lled by some special subgroups of the group above. We show that is complete, stable, but not superstable. It is even not a R-group in the sense of [10].

Let ρ : G GL(n, IF) be a faithful representation of the finite group G over the field IF. In 1916 E. Noether proved that for IF of characteristic zero the ring of invariants IF[V ]G is generated as an algebra by the invariant polynomials of degree at most G. This result has been generalized to the case where the characteristic of IF is greater than G, or when the characteristic of IF is pri...

Two studies examined intergroup schadenfreude--malicious pleasure at an out-group's misfortune. Study 1 showed that schadenfreude regarding a German loss in soccer was increased by interest in soccer and threats of Dutch inferiority. The effect of inferiority threat was especially strong for participants less interested in soccer; the more interested showed relatively high schadenfreude. Study ...

7”he first two requirements state that messages enciphered (deciphered) with any key in the sei S must be decipherable (enci;pherable) with the master .key MK. The third requirement states that the space requirements for MK must ,be substantially less than that of all keys in S; otherwise, MK could be implemented simply as a list of the keys in S. MK, therefore, provides a compact representatio...
