in this note we are going to survey several invariants of finite groups related either to their orders or to generating sets or to lattices of subgroups. some relations among these invariants will be exhibited. special attention will be paid to monotonicity of them.

Reasoning about uncertainty is one of the main cornerstones Knowledge Representation. Formal representations are numerous and highly varied due to different types intended be modeled such as vagueness, imprecision incompleteness. There a rich body theoretical results that has been generated for many these approaches. It often case though, pragmatic tools reasoning with lag behind this results. ...

Topical application of the tumor promoter 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol13-acetate (TPA) to SENCAR mouse skin results within 48 h in a 3-fold elevation of xanthine oxidase (XO) activity, an enzyme capable of gen erating the reactive oxygen species Superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. The antiinflammatory steroid fluocinolone acetonide, an inhibitor of TPAinduced hyperplasia, as well as the multiple sta...
