although marianna fotaki’s editorial is helpful and challenging by looking at both the professional and institutional requirements for reinstalling compassion in order to aim for good quality healthcare, the causes that hinder this development remain unexamined. in this commentary, 3 causes are discussed; the boundary between the moral and the political; neoliberalism; and the underdevelopment ...

We study reflection principles involving nonmeager sets and the Baire Property which are consequences of the generic supercompactness of ω2, such as the principle asserting that any point countable Baire space has a stationary set of closed subspaces of weight ω1 which are also Baire spaces. These principles entail the analogous principles of stationary reflection but are incompatible with forc...

Most of the physically based techniques for rendering translucent objects use the diffusion theory of light scattering in turbid media. The widely used dipole diffusion model [JMLH01] applies the diffusion-theory formula derived for the planar surface to objects of arbitrary shapes. This paper presents first results of our investigation of how surface curvature affects the diffuse reflectance f...
