He has clearly shown that women ’ s health is largely determined by different factors than men ’ s health. Specifi cally, this applies, for exam...

We discuss the development of the theory of electroweak radiative corrections and its role in testing the Standard Model, predicting the top quark mass, constraining the Higgs boson mass, and searching for deviations that may signal the presence of new physics. Dedicated to my unforgettable friends and collaborators: M.A.B. Bég, R.E. Behrends, J.J. Giambiagi, and J.J. Sakurai, in memoriam. to a...

A pre-processing design using neural networks is proposed for multiwavelet filters. Various numerical experiments are presented and a comparison is given between neural network pre-processing and a preprocessing for solving linear systems. Neural network pre-processing produces a good approximation for a large number of terms and converges repidly. In memoriam Michihiro Nagase To appear in J. o...

We lost a beloved scholar, mentor, and environmental justice warrior when Steve Wing passed away on 9 November 2016. He was at home with his family in Pittsboro, North Carolina.

With the exception of a brief period as a teacher after graduating, she spent her entire life at the University, initially as ...

This special issue of at – Automatisierungstechnik is a celebration of the achievements of Winfried Oppelt, one of the great names of German control engineering. His reputation, and much of his work, will be well known to many readers of this journal, so in this introduction I shall not attempt to recount his biography in detail. Rather, I shall concentrate on the characteristics that, I believ...

En el contexto del homenaje filosófico que rendimos a Lester Embree (1938-2017), este trabajo intenta ofrecer un análisis genético Análisis reflexivo filósofo norteamericano, tomando como hilo conductor debate público y privado (establecido en su intercambio epistolar) entre Javier San Martín, e intentando profundizar los problemas nos plantean. Para ello me remitiré, segundo momento, dos ensay...

Abstract We prove that each lower-dimensional face of a quasi-arithmetic Coxeter polytope, which happens to be itself is also quasi-arithmetic. provide sufficient condition for codimension $1$ actually arithmetic, as well few computed examples. In memoriam È. B. Vinberg 1937–2020
