The conventional wisdom is that the concept of information is closely related to the concept of probability. In Shannon's information theory, information is equated to a reduction in entropy—a probabilistic concept. In this paper, a different view of information is put on the table. Information is equated to restriction. More concretely, a restriction is a limitation on the values which a varia...

As in most industrialized countries, sex ratios in the Soviet Union revealed little evidence of son preference: sex ratios at birth fluctuated around the biological norm of 1.05 males to females in the western republics as well as in the more traditional, less industrialized republics in Central Asia and the Caucasus. This is as expected in light of the Soviet state’s longstanding efforts to pr...

Brucellosis is one of the most common and widely spread zoonotic diseases in the world. Control of the disease in humans is dependent upon limiting the infection in animals through surveillance and vaccination. Given the dramatic economic and political changes that have taken place in the former Soviet Union, which have limited control, evaluating the status of human brucellosis in former Sovie...

Metacheyletia degenerata Fain and Bochkov, 2003 (Acariformes: Cheyletidae) is recorded for the first time from the quills of the European Bee-eater Merops apiaster L., 1758 (Coraciformes: Meropidae). It is also the first record of Metacheyletia found on coraciiform birds. Moreover, the following localities: Macedonia, Italy, Azerbaijan, Russia and Tanzania, are new for M. degenerata.

We calculate the strong coupling constants gP P ∗π, where P ∗∗ (D∗∗, B∗∗) is the 1+ p-wave state, in the framework of the light cone QCD sum rules, and using these values of gP P ∗π, we compute the hadronic decay widths for D ∗∗ → D∗ π and B∗∗ → B∗ π. ∗Permanent address: Institute of Physics, Azerbaijanian Academy of Sciences, Baku, Azerbaijan

Two Aelurillus species are described as new, Aelurillusalboclypeus sp. n. (♂♀, from Turkey) and Aelurillusdeltshevi sp. n. (♂, from Macedonia, Bulgaria and Azerbaijan). Aelurillussteliosi Dobroruka, 2002 is synonymized with Aelurillusleipoldae (Metzner, 1999). Additional distributions of the closely related species Aelurillusv-insignitus are provided for the region of study. Distributional maps...
