Form and function, both matter

Form and function, both matter

The arteriosclerotic process has been mainly investigated with the pulse wave velocity (PWV) technique in hyperten-sive populations [1]. This ultrasound technique investigates aortic stiffness (carotid-aortic PWV), central pulse pressure and augmentation index, and carotid diameter and wall thickness. Yet, this method only provides us with information on a few selected large vessels. So mainly ...

Logic, Form and Matter

1 I go along with Sharpe and others (e.g. Stein Olsen, The Structure of Literary Understanding, 1978) in thinking of interpreting as one among several critical activities. Interpretation may but need not lead up to evaluatiQn whilst evaluation always presupposes interpretation. A line cannot always be drawn in critical practice, but there are obvious cases of interpretative judgements (e.g. tha...

compactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops

chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...
