Classical ergodic theory for integer-group actions uses entropy as a complete invariant for isomorphism of IID (independent, identically distributed) processes (a.k.a. product measures). This theory holds for amenable groups as well. Despite recent spectacular progress of Bowen, the situation for non-amenable groups, including free groups, is still largely mysterious. We present some illustrati...

We prove the variational principle for dimensions for Poincaré recurrences, in the case of invariant sets of dynamical systems with continuous time. To achieve this goal we show that these dimensions can be expressed as roots of a non–homogeneous Bowen equation.

For a class of expanding maps with neutral singularities we prove the validity of a finite rank approximation scheme for the analysis of Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen measures. Earlier results of this sort were known only in the case of hyperbolic systems. AMS Subject Classification: Primary 37M25, 37A40; Secondary 37A30, 37A50, 37C30.

INTRODUCTION Bowen therapy is an established complementary therapy with anecdotal reports of effectiveness. However, there is limited published research to substantiate safety or effectiveness. This is a pilot study to explore the potential impact of Bowen therapy in chronic stroke. METHODS A case series of 14 people with chronic stroke were offered 13 sessions of Bowen therapy over a three-m...

A classical result in thermodynamic formalism is that for uniformly hyperbolic systems, every Hölder continuous potential has a unique equilibrium state. One proof of this fact due to Rufus Bowen and uses the such systems satisfy expansivity specification properties. In these notes, we survey recent progress generalizations properties extend Bowen’s arguments beyond uniform hyperbolicity, inclu...

background family planning (fp) program in pakistan has been struggling to achieve the desired indicators. despite a well-timed initiation of the program in late 50s, fertility decline has been sparingly slow. as a result, rapid population growth is impeding economic development in the country. a high population growth rate, the current fertility rate, a stagnant contraceptive prevalence rate a...

this article was written based on the key concept of polysystem theory which, in translating any literary text, emphasizes the transference of the social systems in which a text is embedded. as stated by tynjanov (1978a), polysystem theory saw translated literature as a system operating in the larger social systems of the target text. thus, the task of understanding as well as transferring such...
