Chapter 2 of Women in Ministry tries to explain why there are no women priests in Israel. Its author, an Old Testament scholar, maintains that the absence of female priests in ancient Israel cannot be used as an argument against women’s ordination. The author states that he approaches the Bible through “exegetical research.” This, he explains, means that he “will not move from a priori definiti...

Autonomous threshold element circuit networks are used to investigate the structure of neural networks. With these circuits, as the transition functions are threshold functions, it is necessary to consider the existence of sequences of state configurations that cannot be transitioned. In this study, we focus on all logical functions of four or fewer variables, and we discuss the periodic sequen...

A recent result of Eden, Levi, and Ron (ECCC 2015) provides a sublinear time algorithm to estimate the number of triangles in a graph. Given an undirected graph G, one can query the degree of a vertex, the existence of an edge between vertices, and the ith neighbor of a vertex. Suppose the graph has n vertices, m edges, and t triangles. In this model, Eden et al provided a O(poly(ε logn)(n/t+m/...

Although many clinicians are familiar with trans­ gender individuals and the physical treatments available to them, many will be unfamiliar with the psychological treatment options available for other gender identity disorders. Eden and colleagues have detailed the role of the gender specialist when offering assessment and physical treatments in the forms of hormone therapy and surgery to trans...

The case Tucson Woman's Clinic v. Eden (2004) established that some of Arizona's abortion [3] clinic laws violated physicians' and patients' rights to privacy, and it required Arizona's abortion [3] laws to be rewritten. The laws required most abortion [3] providers to be licensed with the Arizona Department of Health Services and to submit to all the regulations the Department established for ...

We propose a new class of cluster growth models where growth sites have a finite lifetime ~, which contains as special cases the Eden model (r = oo) and the kinetic growth walk (~ = 1). For finite but large ~ values the growth process can be characterized by a crossover time tx; for times below t x an Eden-type cluster is formed, while for times above tx the growth process belongs to the univer...

General Presentation of the Research Domain The focus of the REVES research group is on image and sound synthesis for virtual environments. Our research is on the development of new algorithms to treat complex scenes in real time, both for image rendering (for example the capture and rendering of trees using an image-based technique [1]) or for sound (for example using perceptual masking and cl...

This paper presents the Eden Trace Viewer (EdenTV), a tool which generates graphic representations of parallel program executions. The tracing tool was conceived to analyze the behavior of programs written in the parallel functional language Eden. With the high abstraction offered by parallel functional languages, tools for the analysis of the runtime behaviour are all the more important. We de...
