We show how a ruled minimal Lagrangian submanifold of complex projective 3-space may be used to construct two related minimal surfaces in the 5-sphere.

abstract in recent decades, because of the vast socio-cultural changes which occurred in iran, iranian women have experienced new values and identities and they have achieved more advanced education and consciousness, so that they oppose the gender stereotypes which attribute inferior characteristics to women and cause inequalities and limitations in their everyday life. although gender stereot...

While the Sphere Handbook has evolved as both a field tool and a resource for articulating human rights, it does not fully offer a rights-based approach to humanitarian assistance. In the handbook's current edition, its Humanitarian Charter asserts an...

Many of the classic problem of coding theory are highly symmetric, which makes it easy to derive spherepacking upper bounds and sphere-covering lower bounds on the size of codes. We discuss the generalizations of sphere-packing and sphere-covering bounds to arbitrary error models. These generalizations become especially important when the sizes of the error spheres are nonuniform. The best poss...

The Civil Sphere offers a bold and original thesis about the critically important role that civil societies play in Western democracies. Although I will challenge Alexander’s thesis, it is important to state at the outset that The Civil Sphere is a valuable book packed with rich social histories, lively engagements with ancient and contemporary theories, and novel interpretations.

How do artworks contribute to a more inclusive public sphere? Artworks the inclusiveness of sphere in that they help us consider previous objects as acting subjects, and thus entities deserving membership sphere.
