In this paper we study the notion of Smarandache semirings and semifields and obtain some interesting results about them. We show that not every semiring is a Smarandache semiring. We similarly prove that not every semifield is a Smarandache semifield. We give several examples to make the concept lucid. Further, we propose an open problem about the existence of Smarandache semiring S of finite ...

When disinherited heirs challenge a will drafted by a person suspected of having dementia, a legal battle may ensue. The "lucid interval," a brief return to competence from a state of dementia, has been invoked in years past to establish the validity of contested wills. Shulman et al., having reviewed the medical and legal literature, make a convincing argument that no such period of competence...

To determine the factors affecting the outcome of patients with traumatic acute subdural hematoma, we reviewed the records of7 4 consecutive comatose patients with a Glascow coma scale Score (GCS) of less than 8 who had been admitted to Imam Hosein Medical Center from 1990 to 1996 and had undergone a uniform treatment protocol. The overall mortality rate was 73% and 23% had functional reco...

Abstract A novel trend in the theory of thermodynamic limits for energy convertors and traditional heat & mass exchangers is analysed where certain special controls called the Carnot control variables play a common role. In terms of these controls an expression for the lost work has the same form in irreversible energy convertors and in traditional processes of purely dissipative transport. For...

We show that a very general form of Lucid (and RLucid) tail-recursive function can be transformed into an indexical equivalent. We show also that the standard indexical translations of the wvr and upon functions can be considered to be particular cases of the general situation. We give full proofs of the results, taking advantage of the clean semantics of Lucid.

Descartes observed that you could not lucidly doubt that you exist nor that you are a thinking thing. It would follow that there can be no lucid doubt about the reality of those psychological states and attributes whose possession is distinctive of thinkers, par excellence their being subject to the various kinds of doxastic and conative states involved in goal-directed thought. Thus it seems a...

although the renowned story of oraynib is not properly grounded in reality, the writers, and especially the literati of various eras, have narrated it in their works. in this article, the tradition of this story is followed up in one era after another and it is disclosed that the legend of oraynib, just like other legends, has changed from one century to another and from one book to another, be...
