in the wisdom-faith relation debate, as one of the most important issues in theology, thomas aquinas, the renowned christian rhetoric of the middle ages, intellectually claims that wisdom is independent and even superior to faith. in the modern cartesian intellectualism, there is nothing superior to the wisdom, put differently; things which can’t be recognized through logic can’t be considered ...

portance as computers have become faster and as strong cryptographic algorithms, such as the Data Encryption Standard (DES) , have become available. But a standard encipherment technique is only the j r s t step in applying cryptography in a computing center. This paper discusses the Information Protection System (IPS), a set of cryptographic application programs designed to use the DES algori...

We present new constructions for (n, w, λ) optical orthogonal codes (OOC) using techniques from finite projective geometry. In one case codewords correspond to (q − 1)-arcs contained in Baer subspaces (and, in general, kth-root subspaces) of a projective space. In the other construction, we use sublines isomorphic to PG(1, q) lying in a projective plane isomorphic to PG(1, qk), k > 1. Our const...

In this paper, we give a new characterization of the approximate solution given by hybridized mixed methods for second-order, self-adjoint elliptic problems. We apply this characterization to obtain an explicit formula for the entries of the matrix equation for the Lagrange multiplier unknowns resulting from hybridization. We also obtain necessary and sufficient conditions under which the multi...

In this paper we consider disjoint decomposition of algebraic and non-linear partial differential systems of equations and inequations into so-called simple subsystems. We exploit Thomas decomposition ideas and develop them into a new algorithm. For algebraic systems simplicity means triangularity, squarefreeness and non-vanishing initials. For differential systems the algorithm provides not on...

Recently, various algebraic integer programming (IP) solvers have been proposed based on the theory of Gröbner bases. The main difficulty of these solvers is the size of the Gröbner bases generated. In algorithms proposed so far, large Gröbner bases are generated by either introducing additional variables or by considering the generic IP problem IPA,C . Some improvements have been proposed such...

Thomas Jefferson, the architect and author of the American Declaration of Independence (ADOI) is revered, and yet, even during his lifetime questions were raised about his authorship [1]. One name linked with the ADOI is Thomas Paine, the author of Common Sense and The Rights of Man. This study uses discriminant analysis to and Burrow’s Delta scores [2] which reveal that both Jefferson and Pain...

Thomas Suddendorf is Professor of Psychology at the University of Queensland, Australia. He was born and raised in Germany, but has spent most of his adult life in the Antipodes. He studies the development of mental capacities in young children and in nonhuman animals to answer fundamental questions about the nature and evolution of the human mind. He has received honors and distinctions for bo...
