Algebra × Topology = Analysis Important Lie groups are the vector groups Rn, their compact quotients Rn/Zn, the general linear groups GLn(R), and the orthogonal groups On(R). For each of these the group structure and the real analytic manifold structure is the obvious one; for example, GLn(R) is open as a subset of Rn 2 , and thus an open submanifold of the analytic manifold Rn2 . Hilbert’s 5th...

Since graph theory was considered to have begun some 275 years ago, it has evolved into a subject with a fascinating history, a host of interesting problems and numerous diverse applications. While graph theory has developed ever-increasing connections with other areas of mathematics and a variety of scholarly fields, it is its beauty that has attracted so many to it. As with the previous editi...

A challenge for educators is to fuse the learning of information literacy to an academic education in such a way that the outcome is systematic and sustainable learning for students. This challenge can be answered through longterm commitment to information literacy education bound to organisation-wide, renewable strategic planning and driven through systemic reform. This paper explores the proc...

Dialogism provides the grounds for building a comprehensive model of discourse and it is focused on the multiplicity of perspectives (i.e., voices). Dialogism can be present in any type of text, while voices become themes or recurrent topics emerging from the discourse. In this study, we examine the extent that differences between self-explanations and thinkalouds can be detected using computat...

background and objective: thyroid function problems are often present with prematurity disorders. thyroid hormones regulate growth and distinguish body organs; especially they affect central nervous system and metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and vitamins. thus, these hormones should be evaluated. the present study aims to determine the mean level of thyroid hormones among premature infants...

objective: pulmonary air-leakage especially pneumothorax (ptx), is a severe complication in neonates. the aim of this study was to assess the predisposing factors and frequency of ptx among the low birth weight (lbw) premature infants, under mechanical ventilation. methods: this cross sectional study was performed in 121 lbw intubated premature infants at neonatal intensive care unit of a child...
