The anatomical works of George Stubbs

TERENCE DOHERTY, The anatomical works of George Stubbs, London, Secker & Warburg, 1974, F°, pp. ix, 345, illus., £25. For his paintings of horses George Stubbs (1724-1806) is justly renowned. It is also common knowledge that, like the artists of the Renaissance, to perfect his art he practised anatomical dissection. The extent of the latter, however, is revealed for the first time by this super...

A Survey on Stanley Depth

At the MONICA conference “MONomial Ideals, Computations and Applications” at the CIEM, Castro Urdiales (Cantabria, Spain) in July 2011, I gave three lectures covering different topics of Combinatorial Commutative Algebra: (1) A survey on Stanley decompositions. (2) Generalized Hibi rings and Hibi ideals. (3) Ideals generated by two-minors with applications to Algebraic Statistics. In this artic...

On a special class of Stanley-Reisner ideals

For an $n$-gon with vertices at points $1,2,cdots,n$, the Betti numbers of its suspension, the simplicial complex that involves two more vertices $n+1$ and $n+2$, is known. In this paper, with a constructive and simple proof, wegeneralize this result to find the minimal free resolution and Betti numbers of the $S$-module $S/I$ where  $S=K[x_{1},cdots, x_{n}]$ and $I$ is the associated ideal to ...

Using Stanley Cavell

William A . Yost and Stanley Sheft

A positive reinforcement, adaptive tracking procedure was used to study the intensity discrimination abilities of six chinchillas to noise signals. Increment detection thresholds were obtained using a two-down, one-up tracking rule. The effect of overall noise masker level and the effect of noise bandwidth on increment detection thresholds were studied, The continuous noise masker and the signa...
