Skinning of an ordered set of discrete circles is discussed in this paper. By skinning we mean the geometric construction of two G1 continuous curves touching each of the circles at a point, separately. After precisely defining the admissible configuration of initial circles and the desired geometric properties of the skin, we construct the future touching points and tangents of the skin by app...

The Bertrand paradox question is: “Consider a unit-radius circle for which the length of a side of an inscribed equilateral triangle equals 3 . Determine the probability that the length of a ‘random’ chord of a unit-radius circle has length greater than 3 .” Bertrand derived three different ‘correct’ answers, the correctness depending on interpretation of the word, random. Here we employ geomet...

the problem of the hermeneutical circle is one of the contentious issues in philosophical hermeneutics. this paper, begins with focusing on the question as to whether what hermeneuts mean by a hermeneutical circle is in fact a real circle with no analogical sense involved. recognizing that this problem is not confined to the relation between part and whole, this study confines itself to explore...

Women have been the backbone of service provision for health and healing in the Native American community in the San Francisco Bay Area. The contributions of Native women are exemplified in the Women's Circle of the Native American Health Centers in San Francisco and Oakland. Women receive a broad range of services through the Women's Circle--in a coed residential substance abuse treatment faci...

A circle n-gon is the region between n non-crossing chords of a circle; the sides of a circle n-gon are either chords or arcs of the circle. A circle n-gon graph is the intersection graph of a family of circle n-gons in a circle. The family of circle trapezoid graphs is exactly the family of circle 2-gon graphs and the family of circle graphs is exactly the family of circle 1-gon graphs. The fa...
