The death of Frank Ramsey in January 1930 just before his twenty-seventh birthday, was the last nail coffin Cambridge school mathematical logic.

The project of electronic corpora for Manding languages was launched in St. Petersburg in 2009. By now, it is carried out by an international team with an assistance by specialists in Manding languages from different countries. Tools have been developed taking into account the specifics of Manding languages (and adaptable to other languages). The Bamana Reference Corpus was put on line in 2012,...

compare the effect of different ceramic thicknesses on degree of conversion (dc) of 3 light-cured resin cements. methods: in this experimental in-vitro study, the degree of conversion of three light-cured resin cements, variolink veneer (ivoclar, liechtenstein), relyx veneer (3m espe, usa) and choice2 (bisco, usa) were evaluated beneath feldespatic ceramic discs (vita vmk master) with a same sh...

Total hip replacement is one of the most common orthopaedic reconstructive procedures performed today, with more than 40 000 replacements completed annually in Canada. New surgical techniques and materials have led to procedures that produce profound changes in the lives of patients and allow them to resume virtually all of their previous activities. Sir John Charnley developed low-friction art...

The dried endosperm of the seed of Phytelephas sp is widely used for artisanal work in the Amazon region due to its favorable mechanical properties and pleasant appearance that resemble elephant ivory. While the seeds have enjoyed popularity and limited use by selected industries (e.g., military uniform buttons and piano keys) and handicraft applications, little is known about the mechanical pr...

This study leverages mobile phone data to analyze mobility patterns in developing countries, especially in comparison to more developed countries. Developing regions, such as the Ivory Coast, are marked by a number of factors that may influence mobility, such as less infrastructural coverage and maturity, less economic resources and stability, and in some cases, more cultural and language-based...

Radiographs of the left hand of 594 children from Ibadan, Nigeria were inspected for skeletal anomalies to determine differences in the incidence of cone and ivory epiphyses for the rich and poor children and differences in incidence for four hemoglobin types. Ivory epiphyses ovvurred more often in children in the lower socio-economic class and children with hemoglobin AA. The cone epiphyses ob...

International wildlife crime is burgeoning in this climate of global trade. We contend that the most effective way to contain this illegal trade is to determine where the wildlife is being removed. This allows authorities to direct law enforcement to poaching hot spots, potentially stops trade before the wildlife is actually killed, prevents countries from denying their poaching problems at hom...

the fracture resistance of all-ceramic restorations is one of the major concerns in clinical applications of these materials. before initiating a time-consuming and costly clinical investigation, an in vitro study can help to estimate the in vivo usability of a new dental material. mechanical properties of all-ceramic materials are frequently evaluated to predict their clinical performance. sin...

Despite the publication of three independent papers that reported sightings of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker (Campephilus principalis), its preservation became a controversial topic because nobody has been able to obtain a distinct photo, which is considered the standard form of evidence for documenting birds. An analysis based on a combination of factors related to habitat and behavior suggests ...
