The paper is devoted to local derivations on the algebra S(M, τ) of τ measurable operators affiliated with a von Neumann algebra M and a faithful normal semi-finite trace τ. We prove that every local derivation on S(M, τ) which is continuous in the measure topology, is in fact a derivation. In the particular case of type I von Neumann algebras they all are inner derivations. It is proved that f...

During the study of plant specimens in the Central herbarium Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan Institute of the gene pool of plants and animals (TASH) one new record for the flora of Uzbekistan (Cousinia waldheimiana) was identified. This species is the fourth member of Cousinia sect. Jurineopsis collected in the Uzbek part of the Northern Alay range.

in this paper, an exchange of letters between the philosopher jacques derrida and architect peter eisenman is used as a catalyst to discuss the material qualities of glass and its relationship with the concept of transparency in architecture. in his criticism of an architecture devoid of human qualities, derrida uses glass, defined through walter benjamin’s writings, as a hard and cold material...
