"It shall be the effort of my life to shed honor on your diploma"thus spoke Elizabeth Blackwell as she accepted her diploma and became the first woman to be granted the degree Doctor of Medicine by a recognized school of medicine.t She had registered as student number 130 in the Medical Department of Geneva University on 30 November, 1847.: Thus, a century has passed during which women have bec...

Appetitive aggression is the attraction to violent behavior, which can peak in the experience of a combat high. In various war and conflict scenarios, members of armed groups have reported developing a desire to hunt and even kill humans. More recently, we reported that the phenomenon has also been observed in female ex-combatants with varying participation in warfare. Despite recent investigat...

Subsequent events seem to indicate that, when President Kennedy, in July of 1961, made his appeal for family fallout shelters, he was not doing so because he thought the shelters would protect a large part of the public from a likely nuclear attack. Rather, it seems, his intent in the shelter program, as in the call-up of reserves that took place at about the same time, was to enhance the credi...

What is the attitude and what are the positions adopted by the Catholic Church in Belgium vis-à-vis the family between the middle of the nineteenth century and World War I? The question is important for several reasons. Between 1750 and 1950, the family underwent impressive changes (Ariès, 1960; Burguière, 1986). The Church occupied an exceptional, and contested, place within the conjugal and f...

A flexible approach towards substituted β- and γ-carbolines based on transition metal catalysed [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions between functionalised yne-ynamides and methylcyanoformate is described. The versatility of this new reaction sequence is demonstrated by its application in the total synthesis of the marine natural product eudistomin U.

The main goal of this paper is to prove that the idempotent completions of the triangulated categories of singularities of two schemes are equivalent if the formal completions of these schemes along singularities are isomorphic. We also discuss Thomason theorem on dense subcategories and a relation to the negative K-theory.

Although the Confederate surrenders in April 1865 marked the end of major hostilities of the American Civil War, disputes of interpretation continue to characterise the study of the conduct and outcomes of the War. Whilst this may be simply a feature of all historiography, the extent of these interpretive disputes may well be a direct consequence of the nature of the primary sources that have s...

Jagger, S̆t̆ov́ıc̆ek and Thomason [3] defined the class of k-common graphs, and showed among other results that every graph containing K4 as a subgraph is not 2-common. We prove that every graph containing K3 as a subgraph is not 3-common.

In this paper we will provide a modal-to-modal translational embedding of E into K, simplifying a similar result which is obtainable using a novel translation due to S.K. Thomason.

We study two notions of definability for classes of relational structures based on modal extensions of Łukasiewicz finitely-valued logics. The main results of the paper are the equivalent of the Goldblatt Thomason theorem for these notions of definability.
