In this paper we show that the class of fork squares has a complete orthodox axiomatization in fork arrow logic (FAL). This result may be seen as an orthodox counterpart of Venema’s non-orthodox axiomatization for the class of squares in arrow logic. FAL is the modal logic of fork algebras (FAs) just as arrow logic is the modal logic of relation algebras (RAs). FAs extend RAs by a binary fork o...

Orthodox Judaism expects new brides and grooms to engage in sexual intercourse on the first night of marriage or soon thereafter, despite stringent norms forbidding premarital physical contact. Any delay for more than several weeks in consummating a marriage is seen as problematic and worthy of rabbinic or professional attention. This article examines traditional Jewish sources for this emphasi...

A quick method of performing the Paul-Bunnell reaction is described which is as sensitive as the orthodox method. When read at two hours the rapid test appears to be definitely more sensitive than the orthodox method. When the rapid method is performed in the later stages of glandular fever a much higher titre is obtained than by the orthodox method. This might prove to be of diagnostic importa...

The ultrastructure of inner membrane-matrix mitochondria isolated from bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) shoots was examined in different metabolic states. Gross ultrastructural transformations analogous to the condensed-to-orthodox configurational changes reported in mammalian mitochondria are observed on transistion from nonrespiring to respiring metabolism. With the induction of oxidative phosphoryl...

In this paper we will be on erned with the possibility of embedding a nite semigroup S into a nite 2-generated semigroup T that shares properties with S. In parti ular we show that any nite orthodox semigroup S may be embedded in a nite orthodox semigroup T generated by two group elements and that any nite orthodox monoid S1 may be embedded as a semigroup into a nite 2-generated orthodox monoid...

The study assessed for the presence of Holocaust-related trauma characteristics in ultra-Orthodox grandchildren of Holocaust survivors. Measures included the Secondary Trauma Scale (STS; Motta, Hafeez, Sciancalepore, & Diaz, 2001), the Impact of Events Scale-Revised (EIS-R; Weiss & Marmar, 1997), the A-Trait Scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI; Spielberger, Gorsuch, Lushene, Vagg, ...

The place of the icon in the Orthodox Church is unique and so central that the restoration of icons after the long period of iconoclasm has been characterised as a triumph of Orthodoxy as a whole. In order to justify this central place of the icon, one should not see particular icons only as religious instruments in their concrete environment and function. Rather, one should understand icons as...

A recent proposal for quantizing gravity is investigated for self consistency. The existence of a fixed-point all-order solution is found, corresponding to a consistent quantum gravity. A criterion to unify couplings is suggested, by invoking an application of our argument to more
