During recent years there have appeared several descriptions of a peculiar condition in which simultaneously several bones become the seat of a new growth which often erodes through the cortex and pushes aside neighboring tissues, but which never metastasizes into other orgmls. The results of the observations of such so*called multiple myelomata and related diseases have been well summarized an...

This report makes a case for the need to examine the methodological foundations of AI. Many aspects of AI have not yet developed to a point of general agreement. The goals of AI work, the methods for acheiving these goals, the presentation of results, and the assessment of claims are all highly contentious issues. All aspects of AI methodology are subject to debate The Workshop on the Foundatio...

Problem 1. Infinite Products and Coproducts in Ab. We have seen that finite products and coproducts agree in Ab. However, the same is not true for infinite products and coproducts. Let I be a set and let {Ai}i∈I be a family of abelian groups, each equal to some fixed group A. (a) Show that the set AI := HomSet(I, A) is an abelian group. Furthermore, show that we can think of this group as the i...

Graham and Winkler derived a formula for the determinant of distance matrix full-dimensional set n + 1 points { x 0 , … } in Hamming cube H = ( ? ) . In this article we derive D an arbitrary m It follows from more general that det ? if only vectors are affinely independent. Specializing to case provides new insights into original Winkler. A significant difference arises between cases < is noted...

The semantic Web service community develops efforts to bring semantics to Web service descriptions and allow automatic discovery and composition. However, there is no widespread adoption of such descriptions yet, because semantically defining Web services is highly complicated and costly. As a result, production Web services still rely on syntactic descriptions, key-word based discovery and pre...

The following two conjectures arose in the work of Grimmett and Winkler, and Pemantle: the uniformly random forest F and the uniformly random connected subgraph C of a finite graph G have the edge-negative-association property. In other words, for all distinct edges e and f of G, the probability that F (respectively, C) contains e conditioned on containing f is less than or equal to the probabi...

In the present study, the finite element method is developed for the static analysis of nano-beams under the Winkler foundation and the uniform load. The small scale effect along with Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory is taken into account. The governing equations are derived based on the minimum potential energy principle. Galerkin weighted residual method is used to obtain the finite eleme...

Understanding how aquatic ecosystems respond to perturbations has emerged as a crucial way predict the future of these and assess their capacity produce oxygen store atmospheric carbon. In this context, in situ mesocosm experiments are useful approach for simulating disturbances observing changes planktonic communities over time under controlled conditions. Within experiments, estimation fundam...

A new staphylococcal phage, Pphi-2, which could convert the capability of producing staphylokinase, was isolated. The phage is different from the phage reported by Winkler and co-workers [Nature(London) 195:407-408, 1962; J. Gen. Microbiol. 39:321-333, 1965]. The former is a single-converting phage belonging to serotype B, but the latter is a serotype F phage capable of converting not only stap...
