In this paper, we analyze the main topological properties of a relevant class of topologies associated with spaces ordered by preferences (asymmetric, negatively transitive binary relations). This class consists of certain continuous topologies which include the order topology. The concept of saturated identification is introduced in order to provide a natural proof of the fact that all these s...

Andreev billiards are finite, arbitrarily shaped, normal-state regions, surrounded by superconductor. At energies below the superconducting energy gap, single-quasiparticle excitations are confined to the normal region and its vicinity, the mechanism for confinement being Andreev reflection. Short-wave quantal properties of these excitations, such as the connection between the density of states...

EDINA as a JISC national data centre makes available, inter alia many geographical datasets and services for use by the UK academic community. To support discovery of these resources it operates metadata catalogues that one can search and browse to find specific items of interest. These metadata are typically made available both in HTML form for human consumption and in a machine readable form,...

Using the Fiedler-Polyak-Viro Gauß diagram formulas we study the Vassiliev invariants of degree 2 and 3 on almost positive knots. As a consequence we show that the number of almost positive knots of given genus or unknotting number grows polynomially in the crossing number, and also recover and extend, inter alia to their untwisted Whitehead doubles, previous results on the polynomials and sign...

The importance of developing in vitro tests for embryotoxicity is discussed, and ECVAM's work with its collaborators is summarised. Studies are in progress to find new endpoints for use in the scientifically validated embryonic stem (ES) cell test, so that the potential for chemical effects on endodermal, mesodermal and/or ectodermal differentiation can be identified. This involves, inter alia,...

Abstract We establish inter alia a compactness criterion in metric spaces involving sequence of completely continuous mappings, which is continuously convergent, the sense H. Hahn, to identity mapping. For Banach spaces, linear version that result coincides with theorem due Mazur. also present new proof Ascoli–Arzelà theorem, we use above applied Bernstein operators.

This paper investigates the frequency of occurrence of English borrowed words in terms of three variables of age, gender, and educational status. To do so, a corpus including the extant files of participants in a target group of telegram social networking was selected and analyzed. The quantitative study of the data shows that the occurrence of the loanwords is much more frequent in the speech ...

despite the title of intellectual property law, this legal system differs from the classic property law in several aspects, inter alia, the time of protection, the standards for protection, the scope of protection and the enforcement of intellectual property rights. these limitations and differences are largely because of the economic considerations regarding different kinds of positive efficie...

In this article, we present the positional logic that is suitable for formalization of reasoning about social phenomena. It effect extending Minimal Realisation (MR) with new expressions. These expressions allow, inter alia, to consider different points view entities (humanistic coefficient). perform a metalogical analysis logic. Finally, some simple examples its application.

Emphasising the scope for further growth in institutional investment, in Europe in particular, this paper focuses on the impact of institutional investment on the efficiency and stability of financial systems. The paper stresses the scope for efficiency gains arising from an increasing role of institutional investors, reflecting – inter alia – their role in improving corporate governance. The p...
