there are two historical paradigms in iranian family law: love law and libido law. understanding the two approaches is possible by thinking on the four categories of love: 1. libido: the passion of life and manifestation of sexual drive. 2.eros: the romantic love and the genuine material of poem and literature. 3.philia: the mere love purified from libido. 4. agape: the spiritual love in mystic...

The ancient and extinct language Meroitic is investigated using Zipf’s Law. In particular, since Meroitic is still undeciphered, the Zipf law analysis allows us to assess the quality of current texts and possible avenues for future investigation using statistical techniques.

Behavioral economic analysis of law is about bringing recent research about behavior and choice together with classical law and economics. In this essay we assess its relevance for the theory of optimal law enforcement. It is our view that criminal law is an area where behavioral analysis has a role to play. Notwithstanding the results so far provided by the behavioral approach are somehow disa...

An evolutionary stage model of cyberspace is proposed based on the four key fundamental driving forces: Moore’s Law, Gilder’s Law, Metcalfe’s Law, and the Law of Disruption. It is suggested that the managerial tasks and information and communication technologies associated with the utilization of cyberspace will change in character over a period of time, and will evolve in patterns roughly rela...

I reproduce a rather simple formal derivation of the Heaps’ law from the generalized Zipf’s law, which I previously published in Russian [7].

We present here assessment of the latent market information embedded in the raw, affinity normalized , and partial correlations. We compared the Zipf plot, spectrum, and distribution of the eigenvalues for each matrix with the results of the corresponding random matrix. The analysis was performed on stocks belonging to the New York and Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, for the time period of January 200...

The paper presents a simple derivation of the Gustafson-Barsis law from the Amdahl's law. In the computer literature these two laws describing the speedup limits of parallel applications are derived separately. It is shown, that treating the time of the execution of the sequential part of the application as a constant, in few lines the Gustafson-Barsis law can be obtained from the Amdahl's law ...
