In the present paper, we solve the problem of reducing to the simplest and convenient for our purposes, “canonical” form for an arbitrary pair of compatible nonlocal Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type generated by metrics of constant Riemannian curvature (compatible Mokhov–Ferapontov brackets [1]) in order to get an effective construction of the integrable hierarchies related to all these co...

The optimal sequenced route (OSR) query performs a critical role in finding the most economical route for a trip, for instance, location base services. OSR finds the minimum-length route, starting from an origin location and passing through a number of locations or points of interest (POIs), following the prespecified route sequence. An OSR query on road networks tends to expand an extremely la...

This article discusses how constructivist psychology might contribute to studies of the history and philosophy of science. It is suggested that this would be a fruitful topic for graduate research, and a brief analysis is provided of what would be required to model the construct systems involved in the Priestley-Lavoisier controversy over the roles of phlogiston and oxygen in calcification. It ...

We are both in agreement and in disagreement with the above claim. We agree that religion confers benefi ts to the self.

Although speculations about the role of fear—and fear of death in particular— in the evolutionary and psychological origins of religion have been around for millennia, it is only in the last decade or so that systematic empirical investigations on the matter have been undertaken. In this paper, we review this recent body of correlational and experimental research to assess theoretical developme...

the studies on psychology of religion, which began in the 19th century in the context of experimental psychology and psychoanalysis, fall into two categories those which explore the impact of religion on various individuals and social dimensions, and those which concentrate on the methodology of religion. the present paper deals with the former category. few studies have so far shown a positive...

this paper is an attempt to generalize, simultaneously, the ring of real-valued continuous functions and the ring of real-valued measurable functions.
