A topological space is sober if it has exactly the points that are dictated by its open sets. We explain the analogy with the way in which computational values are determined by the observations that can be made of them. A new definition of sobriety is formulated in terms of lambda calculus and elementary category theory, with no reference to lattice structure, but, for topological spaces, this...

by Lincoln Williams. Edgar Backus, Leicester6/-. This small book takes only a few minutes to read and naturally deals only very superficially with the problem of alcoholism. It is "addressed to the man in the street, and his doctor too" but it will scarcely give the latter much he doesn't know, and its main purpose must be to provide an encouragement for the sufferer and for his family, by emph...

ToMorrow We'll be Sober. It was not until a SubCommittee on Alcoholism was set up by the World Health Organisation in 1951, that the size of the problem throughout the world became apparent, even to the experts themselves. Hitherto the alcoholic had been hardly worthy of serious scientific study, being regarded by the medical profession as well as by lay people as the subject of moral weakness ...

In this paper, we consider how an unknown constant within a state update function or output function a ects biases of linear approximations. This allows us to obtain information from an unknown constant within a T-function. We use this knowledge for mounting an attack against stream cipher SOBER-128 where we gain information from the key dependent secret constant using multiple linear approxima...

The present paper introduces aggregative spaces and their category AGS, and then establishes a dual adjunction between AGS and the category Agop of aggregation operators on bounded partially ordered sets. Spatial aggregation operators and sober aggregative spaces, enabling us to restrict the dual adjunction between AGS and Agop to a dual equivalence between the full subcategory of Agop consisti...

The theme of this paper is the extension of continuous valuations on the lattice of open sets of a T0-space to Borel measures. A general extension principle is derived that provides a unified approach to a variety of extension theorems including valuations that are directed suprema of simple valuations, continuous valuations on locally compact sober spaces, and regular valuations on coherent so...

Abstract In this study, mainly, we introduce the category Tex of textures and texturally continuous functions. Relations with some other categories, particulary dfTex, fTex, are pointed out. It is shown that the categories CTop of C-spaces and a full subcategory of Sober of sober spaces are, respectively, isomorphic to Tex and STex of simple textures. Some properties discussed including the exi...

A considerable literature, clinical and experimental, has demonstrated the aggression-eliciting effects of alcohol intoxication. However, the focus of the experimental literature has been primarily on men and the studies on women have been inconclusive. This study was conducted to test for possible gender differences in the manifestation of alcohol-induced aggression. Participants were 54 males...

Social networks are an important source of support for many people in recovery from alcohol abuse. The present study investigated the role of one particular source of support for recovery in changing the personal networks of people in recovery, sober-living houses. In a randomized, longitudinal design changes in the network size, heterogeneity, and composition of usual aftercare and sober-livin...
