The existence of mixed curvature measures of two sets in R with positive reach introduced in [6] is discussed. An example shows that the non-osculating condition from [6] does not ensure the locally bounded variation of the mixed curvature measures. Further, some sufficient conditions for the local boundedness of mixed curvature measures involving absolute curvature measures are presented. For ...

We describe a simple scheme for constructing finitely generated monoids in which left-divisibility is a linear ordering and for practically investigating these monoids. The approach is based on subword reversing, a general method of combinatorial group theory, and connected with Garside theory, here in a non-Noetherian context. As an application we describe several families of ordered groups wh...

Chronic diseases present a significant challenge to 21st century global health policy. In developing nations, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as chronic kidney disease has severe implications on health and economic output. The rapid rise of common risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, especially among the poor, will result in even greater and more profound bu...

We summarize the main known results involving subword reversing, a method of semigroup theory for constructing van Kampen diagrams by referring to a preferred direction. In good cases, the method provides a powerful tool for investigating presented (semi)groups. In particular, it leads to cancellativity and embeddability criteria for monoids and to efficient solutions for the word problem of mo...

MDMA) are two of the most widely used recreational drugs. This symposium considered their neuropsychobiological effects, both when taken singly and in combination. In neurocognitive terms, cannabis and Ecstasy/MDMA have detrimental effects on different, although sometimes overlapping, aspects of memory and cognition. Those who take both drugs can therefore display neurocognitive deficits in sev...

‘Empirical ethics’ is a broad term that is used in many different and, often, unclear ways. Such vagueness has disadvantages: it can make discussion difficult. However, ambiguity also offers opportunities to explore and negotiate the multiple meanings of the emerging practice of ‘empirical ethics’. An increasing number of authors refer to their work as ‘empirical ethics’, yet most of them are n...

As pharmacy leaders develop health-system pharmacy services, it is important for them to understand successful leadership behaviors and apply them effectively to be successful in managing the challenges of health care. Directors can learn various skills from leaders both in and outside of pharmacy. Learning from these great leaders can provide pharmacy directors with guidance on how to shape va...

The first implementation of biometric documents, called biometric passports, based on a regulation is running, the second implementation since end of CY 2008 is coming to Europe. The focus is on persons staying for business, study or leisure for more than 3 months in Europe and coming from a state outside Europe and not being a member of the Visa-Waiver-Program of the EU. This second wave incre...
