Jung on Algebraic Functions

The author remarks in his preface that the material has been so arranged that "the text in large type . . . may be read by itself". Yet we find on page 34 (large type) references to equations (7) and (8), which are in small type. All these, however, are unimportant oversights, and the reviewer turns from this work with the feeling that there is in it a wealth of valuable information on practica...

The Abhyankar-jung Theorem

We show that every quasi-ordinary Weierstrass polynomial P (Z) = Z + a1(X)Z d−1 + · · ·+ ad(X) ∈ K[[X]][Z], X = (X1, . . . , Xn), over an algebraically closed field of characterisic zero K, such that a1 = 0, is ν-quasi-ordinary. That means that if the discriminant ∆P ∈ K[[X]] is equal to a monomial times a unit then the ideal (a i (X))i=2,...,d is monomial and generated by one of a i (X). We us...

Jung and the Kabbalah.

Jung's use of Kabbalistic symbols and ideas as well as his personal Kabbalistic vision are critically examined. It is argued that as great as Jung's acknowledged affinity is to the Kabbalah, his unacknowledged relationship was even greater. Jung has been accused of being a contemporary Gnostic; however, the interpretations Jung placed on Gnosticism and the texts Jung referred to on alchemy were...

The sensitivity or resistance of cancer cells and normal tissues to ionizing radiation plays an important role in the clinical setting of lung cancer treatment. However, to date the exact molecular mechanisms of intrinsic radiosensitivity have not been well explained. In this study, we compared the radiosensitivity or radioresistance in two non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), H460 and A549, a...
