Alchemy traces its roots back to the Egyptian civilisation where it emerged as a practising art and science and an expression of the Egyptian religion. Thus it was that the Egyptian Thoth, the god of mathematics and science, became the inspirational source for the Hellenistic figure of Hermes Trismegistus, who in turn became the model for the medieval Mercurius.

In the larger seignorial domains, the old bailiff, himself a serf, was displaced by the free f...

We review studies of genomic data obtained by sequencing hominin fossils with particular emphasis on the unique information that ancient DNA (aDNA) can provide about the demographic history of humans and our closest relatives. We concentrate on nuclear genomic sequences that have been published in the past few years. In many cases, particularly in the Arctic, the Americas, and Europe, aDNA has ...

The theory of locally convex cones, as developed in [3], deals with ordered cones that are not necessarily embeddable in vector spaces. A topological structure is introduced using order theoretical concepts. We will review some of the main concepts and globally refer to [3] for details and proofs. An ordered cone is a set endowed with an addition and a scalar multiplication for nonnegative real...
