In the Pre-Qin time, pursuing “Dao” was the main task in the scholarship of most of the ancient Chinese philosophers, while the Ancient Greek philosophers considered pursuing “Truth” as their ultimate goal. While the “Dao” in ancient Chinese texts and the “Truth” in ancient Greek philosophic literature do share or cross-cover certain connotations, there are subtle and important differences betw...

The problems of bankruptcy prediction and fraud detection have been extensively considered in the financial literature. The objective of this work is twofold.

When translating the ‘potential’ Homeric Greek optative into English, ‘could’ is often the best modal verb to use, to be preferred to the more usual ‘would’.

We report on a 29-year-old Greek-Cypriot female with a de novo 6.3 Mb distal 10q26.2q26.3 deletion. She had a very mild neurocognitive phenotype with near normal development and intellect. In addition, she had certain distinctive features and postural orthostatic tachycardia. We review the relevant literature and postulate that certain of her features can be diagnostically relevant. This report...

Matrix scaling is the problem of assigning values to the elements of a matrix that are proportional to a given input matrix. The assignment should fulfill a set of row-and column-sum requirements. We propose a new method that differs from divisor–type methods appeared until now in the literature. This method combines the largest remainder apportionment and bi–proportional rounding. Exhaustive a...

The relationship between English and French is complicated by the abundance of false cognates found in each language. The word evidence, first appears in the XIV century, in both French and English literature and means: that which becomes visually apparent (from the Greek e’ idx, or from Latin ex-videre ‘‘to see’’); that which is perceived; that which is grasped by the mind; that which is obvio...

He was the first to approach scientifically what was then thought to be a ‘stroke of God’s hand’. Hence, many of the basic terms for stroke and carotid disease derive from ancient Greek medical literature ...
