This work provides as a starting point to probe into the hitherto neglected field of study regarding the relationship of medical systems prevalent in Central, West and South Asia-Greco-Syriac, Iranian and Ayurvedic medical sciences.

We define a compactum X to be AB-compact if the cofinality of the character χ(x, Y ) is countable whenever x ∈ Y and Y ⊂ X. It is a natural open question if every AB-compactum is necessarily first countable. We strengthen several results from [Arhangel’skii and Buzyakova, Convergence in compacta and linear Lindelöfness, Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin. 39 (1998), no. 1, 159–166] by proving the fol...

It has been recently suggested by Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali that gravity may become strong at energies not far above the electroweak scale and thus remove the hierarchy problem. Such a scenario can be tested at both present and future accelerators since towers of Kaluza-Klein gravitons and associated scalar fields now play an important phenomenological role. In this paper we examine se...
