In this paper we describe a model of concurrency enjoying an algebraic structure reflecting the parallel composition. For the sake of simplicity we restrict to linear concurrent programs i.e. the ones with neither loops nor branchings. Such programs are given a semantics using cubical areas that we call geometric. The collection of all cubical areas admits a structure of tensor product in the c...

It would be unfair to myself, not to say how happy I am on this evening and very proud as well. But such a feeling is linked to several other reasons. The first is personal of course, enjoying the award, the prize, which has just been given to me. But my enjoyment is also related to the gratification of knowing that friendship has proven faithful and efficient. Therefore I would like to thank v...

Few men are more competent to write a work on ovarian pathology than Mr. Doran. Enjoying nnrivalled opportunities at the Samaritan Free Hospital, and making the most of these, he has succeeded in bringing together for examination and study an abundance of material whereon to work out a scientific pathology. His work is ambitious, and justly so. It is evident enough that no one hitherto has aggr...

We present an extension of magic angle coil spinning (MACS) solid-state NMR spectroscopy to double-resonance experiments, enabling implementation of powerful double-resonance solid-state NMR methodologies including cross polarization, proton decoupling, and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy etc., while still enjoying the merits that are intrinsic to MACS, such as high concentration sensi...

conclusions the use of absorbable tacks during tapp confers significant benefit regarding the operating time, however it is a disadvantage due to the cost when compared with fibrin glue. results the group of tacks ‘tapp’ showed good results concerning the level of pain, fatigue and foreign body sensation comparable with those of the historical group. there were significant differences concernin...

Much of our understanding of corporations builds on the idea that managers, when they are not closely monitored, will pursue goals that are not in shareholders’ interests. But what goals would managers pursue? This paper uses variation in corporate governance generated by state adoption of antitakeover laws to empirically map out managerial preferences. We use plant-level data and exploit a uni...
