We consider the transformation ev which associates to any element in a K-algebra A a function on the the set of its K-points. This is the analogue of the fundamental Gelfand transform. Both ev and its dual ev∗ are the maps from a discrete K-module to a topological Kmodule and we investigate in which case the image of each map is dense. This question arises in the classical problem of the recons...

Sebaceous carcinoma is a very rare and potentially aggressive carcinoma originating from the epithelial lining of the sebaceous gland. More than 70% of all cases are in the head and neck region, especially the periorbita; therefore, they are classified into ocular and extraocular sebaceous carcinoma. The reported risk factors are advanced age, male sex, previous irradiation, and genetic predisp...

It is shown that the tension between recent neutrino oscillation experiments, favoring sterile neutrinos with masses of the order of 1 eV, and cosmological data which impose stringent constraints on neutrino masses from the free streaming suppression of density fluctuations, can be resolved in models of the present accelerated expansion of the Universe based on f(R) gravity.

This essay defends a broad, eclectic, and inclusive kind of political theory against methodological militants who would restrict political theory’s permissible purview. It rejects the idea—frequently voiced by exponents of both analytic-philosophic and historicist methodologies—that philosophical and historical analyses are necessarily two separate enterprises that ought to be kept distinct, no...

Much of the burgeoning literature on food in anthropology and related fields implicitly engages with issues of memory. Although only a relatively small but growing number of food-centered studies frame themselves as directly concerned with memory—for instance, in regard to embodied forms of memory—many more engage with its varying forms and manifestations, such as in a diverse range of studies ...

From an analysis of electron pulses in liquid argon produced by a particles the average energy required to form an ion pair is evaluated, assurmng JaEk’s theory of columnar recombination is valid. The mean value of 26.0 ev found in this way agrees well with the corresponding value of 26.4 ev for a particles m argon gas. Application of Jaffk’s theory to the liquid state is discussed, and from th...
