If A C R then A is homogeneous provided that A + Q = A. As an application we give an elementary proof of Menu’s theorem that the real line can be decomposed in two homogeneous homeomorphic subsets. We also show that such a decomposition is not topologically unique. There are homogeneous A, B C R with A RBA, B ~ RBB but A B.

This paper presents various attempts to accustom the Rule-based Approach (RBA) as originally introduced by Eric Brill in 1993 (Brill 1993a), on the problem of parsing of Czech (a highly inflective language) within a dependency based syntactic framework (Sgall et al 1986). It is experimentally supported in this paper that the modification of RBA for the stated aim is neither simple nor straightf...

Many of the conclusions from that Conference around the potential impact of asset prices on economies were quite prophetic given the subsequent events in the global economy. For me, this Conference t...
