If classification of mental disorders is taken as a proxy, it seems that this impact is presently at the lowest that it has been in the last hundred years. The author gives a short historical overview of concept of reactive psychosis, followed by a description of th...

We introduce a new class of noncommutative rings-Galois orders, realized as certain subrings of invariants in skew semigroup rings, and develop their structure theory. The class of Galois orders generalizes classical orders in noncommutative rings and contains many classical objects, such as the Generalized Weyl algebras, the universal enveloping algebra of the general linear Lie algebra, assoc...

With all the methods and techniques that we have learned so far, we made the assumption that the necessary point correspondences were both known and free of noise. Unfortunately, actual measured point correspondences do possess some amount of noise, and the noise propagates into the results of our linear methods (calculating E, F , λ, etc.). For example, in the case of the 8-point algorithm, we...

Serge Renaud: from French paradox to Cretan miracle.

Serge Renaud: from French paradox to Cretan miracle N ow in his ~OS, Serge Renaud has b e e n challenging dogma and winning scient& bets for more than 50 years. As a student in Montreal, Canada, in the 195Os, Renaud showed in a fortnight that an experimental animal polyarthritis-held for 2 years to be stress induced-was caused by an infectious agent. But what he is best known for is his work on...
