Decentralizing Equality of Opportunity and Issues Concerning the Equality of Educational Opportunity Caterina Calsamiglia 2005 This dissertation explores issues concerning local versus global equality of opportunity, the presence of inequality for education attainment and the optimality of policies addressing such problems. The literature distinguishes between two different approaches to distri...

Article about objective laws of formation of a distributive infrastructure of e-commerce. The distributive infrastructure of e-commerce, according to the author, plays an important role in formation of network economy. The author opens strategic value of institutional regulation of distributive logistics for the decision problems of modernization of Russian economy.

A locally small category E is totally distributive (as defined by Rosebrugh-Wood) if there exists a string of adjoint functors t ⊣ c ⊣ y, where y : E → Ê is the Yoneda embedding. Saying that E is lex totally distributive if, moreover, the left adjoint t preserves finite limits, we show that the lex totally distributive categories with a small set of generators are exactly the injective Grothend...

We describe receptive and distributive needle/syringe sharing among injection drug users (IDUs) in Kabul, Afghanistan. In this cross-sectional study, IDUs completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Logistic regression identified correlates of needle sharing in the last six months. Receptive and distributive sharing in the last six months were reported by 28.2% and 28.7% of participant...

Our main goal is to develop a representation for finite distributive nearlattices through certain ordered structures. This generalizes the well-known given by Birkhoff lattices posets. We also study concepts of dual atoms, boolean elements, complemented elements and irreducible elements. prove that sets form semi-boolean algebras. show set lattice lattice.

For distributive double p-algebras, a close connection is established between being congruence coherent and congruence regular. Every congruence regular distributive double p-algebra is congruence coherent. Even though every congruence coherent distributive double p-algebra that has either a non-empty core or finite range is congruence regular, an example is given that is congruence coherent bu...

We present an overview of the theory of self-distributive quasigroups, both in the two-sided and one-sided cases, and relate the older results to the modern theory of quandles, to which self-distributive quasigroups are a special case. Most attention is paid to the representation results (loop isotopy, linear representation, homogeneous representation), as the main tool to investigate self-dist...
