We fear that future economic and political ‘selection forces’ upon universities will further push academic roles towards the extremes of our triangle (i.e. towards role specialisation). For example, Mervis [6] recently highlighted that US universities will be (or already are) under increasing economic pressure, with shrinking support from government and private or industrial sources, a situatio...

How can we navigate complex power dynamics in our every-day interactions, while sourcing collective powers for a just transition to equitable, regenerative economies where all get be alive, well, and free? disrupt the politics of trauma cultivate flourishing? This article explores how an inner-compass, “Vitality Triangle,” help us meet these challenges by living questions embodying, embedding, ...

Background: The ideal teeth arrangement is an important step for success in complete denture fabrication. There are different methods for determining the posterior denture teeth location. The purpose of this study was the comparison of posterior mandibular teeth location in the study group with Pound or Misch theory. Material and methods: An alginate mandibular impression of 80 dentate patients...

1. TANGENT SPHERES. Any four mutually tangent spheres determine six points of tangency. We say that a pair of tangencies {ti , t j } is opposite if the two spheres determining ti are distinct from the two spheres determining t j . Thus the six tangencies are naturally grouped into three opposite pairs, corresponding to the three ways of partitioning the four spheres into two pairs. Altshiller-C...

Vertex-colorings, edge-colorings and total-colorings of the Sierpiński gasket graphs Sn, the Sierpiński graphs S(n, k), graphs S (n, k), and graphs S(n, k) are considered. In particular, χ′′(Sn), χ (S(n, k)), χ(S(n, k)), χ(S(n, k)), χ(S(n, k)), and χ(S(n, k)) are determined.

We describe a new hybrid approach to modeling and animating animals. A pre–defined skin is modeled as a triangle mesh, such as may be purchased from a digital model vendor, or generated with a typical modeling program. This skin is then attached to the underlying bone, muscle, and tissue model. The rest shape of the skin is exactly as given in the surface model of the animal. Internal component...

Partee (1986) claimed without proof that the function BE is the only homomorphism that makes the Partee triangle commute. This paper shows that this claim is incorrect unless “homomorphism” is understood as “complete homomorphism.” It also shows that BE and A are the inverses of each other on certain natural assumptions.
