Nowadays, one of the most important questions is the quality of living environment. The development of quality living environment deals with a conflict between publicity and privacy: who is responsible for creating quality living environment, where is the line between publicity and privacy, how the balance between publicity and privacy should be achieved?

C to the debate over the origin of modern Homo sapiens are arguments over the mode, location, and timing of the transition from large-brained ‘‘archaic humans’’ to anatomically modern human form. Some argue for an African replacement model, where modern Homo sapiens arose as a new species in Africa roughly 150–200 thousand years ago (ka), followed by their dispersal throughout the Old World rep...

Patterns of origination and evolution of early complex life on this planet are largely interpreted from the fossils of the Precambrian soft-bodied Ediacara Biota. These fossils occur globally and represent a diverse suite of organisms living in marine environments. Although these exceptionally preserved fossil assemblages are typically difficult to reconcile with modern phyla, examination of th...

Living donor transplantation and other modern methods of liver treatment are usually based on computed tomography (CT). Our work is motivated by two following clinical application. First is living-related liver transplantation (LRLT). It is the case when healthy voluntary donor gives a part of his liver to treated person. Second are oncologic resections.

Many multicriteria problems in economics and finance require that efficient solutions be found. A recent contribution to production theory established a characterization of efficient points under closedness and free-disposability (Bonnisseau and Crettez in Econ Theory 31(2):213–223, 2007, Theorem 1). However, as will be shown using a number of examples, these results cannot be applied to simple...
