The divergence between the two textual variants of Dan 7:13 (“Old Greek” and “Theodotion”) and their distinct ways of understanding the relationship between Daniel’s “Ancient of Days” and “Son of Man” is insufficiently studied by scholars of the Book of Daniel, and is neglected by translators of the LXX. This article offers a critical examination of the status quaestionis and a discussion of th...

Jerri Gray may spend the next fifteen years of her life in a South Carolina prison. She is not a drug dealer or a serial rapist. She has not robbed anyone or committed grand theft auto—she simply has an obese son. Jerri’s fourteen-year-old son, Alexander Draper (“Alex”), is morbidly obese, tipping the scales at a staggering 555 pounds. After contacting Jerri about her son, the Department of Soc...

How does female out-migration reconfigure gender values surrounding son preference in origin communities? We propose that the feminization of migration has the potential to infuse origin communities with economic and ideational changes that may challenge son preference. Rural China provides an interesting setting, both because its unprecedented labor out-migration has increasingly included wome...

The performance of emerging self-organizing network (SON) algorithms is often evaluated based on simplified, regular hexagonal networks. Nevertheless, such algorithms are supposed to exploit the inherent inhomogeneity and therefore need to be tested in realistic network scenarios. For this, a common SON algorithm, namely mobility load balancing (MLB), is evaluated with different degrees of comp...

BACKGROUND Rabies is a serious reemerging zoonosis in China. At present human rabies cases are primarily diagnosed based on clinical presentation. CASE PRESENTATION In August 2012, a woman and her son were attacked by a stray dog in Henan, China. The son received rabies postexposure prophylaxis (wound treatment followed by vaccine, no immunoglobulin), however, the mother did not. Rabies infec...

The classical Cayley map, X 7→ (In − X)(In + X) , is a birational isomorphism between the special orthogonal group SOn and its Lie algebra son, which is SOn-equivariant with respect to the conjugating and adjoint actions respectively. We ask whether or not maps with these properties can be constructed for other algebraic groups. We show that the answer is usually “no”, with a few exceptions. In...
