A diverse body of research has demonstrated that people update their beliefs to a greater extent when receiving good news compared to bad news. Recently, a paper by Shah et al. claimed that this asymmetry does not exist. Here we carefully examine the experiments and simulations described in Shah et al. and follow their analytic approach on our data sets. After correcting for confounds we identi...

In this paper we investigate the image of the l-adic representation attached to the Tate module of an abelian variety over a number field with endomorphism algebra of type I or II in the Albert classification. We compute the image explicitly and verify the classical conjectures of Mumford-Tate, Hodge, Lang and Tate, for a large family of abelian varieties of type I and II. In addition, for this...

In this paper it is shown that any regular critical point of the Mumford-Shah functional, with positive definite second variation, is an isolated local minimizer with respect to competitors which are sufficiently close in the L1 -topology.

Background: Determining the genetic gender has been a human's inaccessible will during the history. Today science resolves the problem; pre implantation diagnosis (PGD) is used as a method of genetic disease diagnosis and gender determination. The holy Quran in many verses ascribes genetic gender determination and recognition to Allah, the Almighty. Hence, according to some, genetic gender...

Suppose A is an Abelian p-group and α is an ordinal such that A/pA is a direct sum of countable groups. It is shown that A has a nice basis if, and only if, pA has a nice basis. This strengthens an earlier result of ours in Bull. Allah. Math. Soc. (2011) proved when α < ω.

Wahyu adalah suatu usaha Allah yang dapat dilihat dari perkataan dan apa Ia lakukan dengan tujuan untuk menyatakan diri-Nya kehendak-Nya kepada manusia. Dengan cara itu Dia diri manusia mengenalNya. Akan tetapi pengetahuan akan menjadi sangat terbatas karena minimnya kesadaran tentang pewahyuan. Penelitian ini mengkaji “Penyataan Alkitab" sebagai sebuah sumber pewahyuan melengkapi semakin menam...
