چکیده
a chair, he was the very picture of dejection. His small head was hanging, an obstreperous tuft of the coarse, sandy hair standing defiantly upright on the crown of it; his complexion was sallow and pasty, and not in any way enhanced by a sparse scattering of tiny yellow freckles, plainly visible at close view; his generous mouth drooped, like his head, the lips pale, but firmly closed. In his small faded blue eyes, set just a little too closely together, there was no spark or twinkle, no vivacity or intelligence; but there was determination in his chin, despite just a suggestion of femininity in its tendency to recede; yet withal his expression bespoke nothing in particular. Never a whimper escaped him, never a sign of ill-humor at having to wait. He seemed quite content to sit there indefinitely, scrutinizing the floor or his shoes. James was always very neat in cheap but scrupulously clean clothes, yet he had a rather slovenly appearance. His clothes never seemed quite to belong to him. Something was always awry. His feet, especially, were very awkward, and hung like dead lead weights on thin bean-poles of legs. There was nothing healthy in his appearance. Beside him sat his mother, a well-built, somewhat plump woman of about thirty-five, with a kindly face and quiet, patient air?too patient to dispel a suspicion of something bovine in her make-up, but not at all displeasing to the eye or judgment. Griselda and her son, was the inevitable mental comment of the spectator, waiting for the call of Fate, in the guise of the teacher. ''All right, James; you may come in now." At the sound of these words James lifted his head. A light of something resembling understanding come into the pale eyes, already

متن کاملThe James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants and uniform normal structure in Banach spaces
Recently, Takahashi has introduced the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants. In this paper, we present some sufficient conditions for uniform normal structure and therefore the fixed point property of a Banach space in terms of the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants and the Ptolemy constant. Our main results of the paper significantly generalize and improve many known results in...

In the 21st Century, distinctions and boundaries between global health, international politics, and the broader interests of the global community are harder to define and enforce than ever before.

متن کاملOn Approximate Birkhoff-James Orthogonality and Approximate $ast$-orthogonality in $C^ast$-algebras
We offer a new definition of $varepsilon$-orthogonality in normed spaces, and we try to explain some properties of which. Also we introduce some types of $varepsilon$-orthogonality in an arbitrary $C^ast$-algebra $mathcal{A}$, as a Hilbert $C^ast$-module over itself, and investigate some of its properties in such spaces. We state some results relating range-kernel orthogonality in $C^*$-algebras.
