At present, several countries on the Asian continent are still very closed off to idea of allowing not only work women, but also even fact that they can study university degrees and, after finishing them, go practice their professions. In addition, if we back beginning 20th century, this situation was more serious. However, an impediment for some women from these achieve goals pursuing higher e...

We present a model of (modified) gravity on spacetimes with fractal structure based on packing of spheres, which are (Euclidean) variants of the Packed Swiss Cheese Cosmology models. As the action functional for gravity we consider the spectral action of noncommutative geometry, and we compute its asymptotic expansion on a space obtained as an Apollonian packing of 3-dimensional spheres inside ...

It has become increasingly evident, starting from the seminal paper of Bost and Connes [3] and continuing with several more recent developments ([8], [10], [12], [13], [22], [24]), that there is a rich interplay between quantum statistical mechanics and arithmetic. In the case of number fields, the symmetries and equilibrium states of the Bost–Connes system are closely linked to the explicit cl...

In a hotel at Plaza de la Independencia, the big square between downtown and the historical city (Ciudad Vieja) of Montevideo, the 20th Latin American Congress of Microbiology (ALAM) took place on 27–30 September 2010 [www.alam2010.org.uy]. ALAM 2010 brought together some 1000 microbiologists from 19 countries, including 12 Latin American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, C...
