This research paper aims to study the function of traditional festivals on island Rhodes during period COVID-19 pandemic in order explore community members and official institution representatives’ views their psychological socio-economic consequences. A structured interview was designed, which given online 168 subjects, 96 villages 72 institutions, representatives cultural local authorities, w...

Describing complex objects by elementary ones is a common strategy in mathematics and science in general. In their seminal 1965 paper, Kenneth Krohn and John Rhodes showed that every finite deterministic automaton can be represented (or “emulated”) by a cascade product of very simple automata. This led to an elegant algebraic theory of automata based on finite semigroups (Krohn-Rhodes Theory). ...

Circuit simulation is a fundamental enabler for the design of integrated circuits. As the design complexity increases, there has been a long lasting interest in speeding up transient circuit simulation using paralellization (Dong et al., 2008; Dong & Li, 2009b;c; Reichelt et al., 1993; Wever et al., 1996; Ye et al., 2008). On the other hand, Harmonic Balance (HB), as a general frequency-domain ...

The implicit operation ω is the unary operation which sends each element of a finite semigroup to the unique idempotent contained in the subsemigroup it generates. Using ω there is a well-defined algebra which is known as the free aperiodic semigroup. In this article we show that for each n, the ngenerated free aperiodic semigroup is defined by a finite list of pseudoidentities and has a decida...

We prove the following two results announced by Rhodes: The Type II subsemigroup of a finite semigroup can fall arbitrarily in complexity; the complexity pseudovarieties Cn (n ≥ 1) are not local.

The Almagest star catalog (ASC) has for centuries invited speculation about who actually compiled it. Of its many curious features, the fact that the catalog contains no stars which are visible in Alexandria but not visible in Rhodes suggested to Delambre that perhaps the catalog was actually compiled by Hipparchus, who is known to have lived in Rhodes (at about 36° north latitude), and not by ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of low-level nerve stimulation therapy over the volar aspect of the wrist at the P6 point to treat nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy. METHODS Pregnant volunteers (n = 230) with symptoms of mild to severe nausea and vomiting between 6 and 12 weeks' gestation participated in a 21-day clinical trial. Participants were randomly assigned to receive a de...
