We investigate the boundedness of positive solutions of the reciprocal max-type difference equation xn = max { An−1 xn−1 , An−1 xn−2 , . . . , An−1 xn−t } , n = 1, 2, . . . , where, for each value of i, the sequence {An}n=0 of positive numbers is periodic with period pi. We give both sufficient conditions on the pi’s for the boundedness of all solutions and sufficient conditions for all solutio...

The 11th Transgenic Technology meeting was held in Guangzhou, China on 25th–27th February 2013. Over 300 scientists and students from round the world gathered to hear the latest developments in the technologies underpinning the creation of transgenic and knockout animals and their application to biological sciences in areas such as the modeling human diseases and biotechnology. As well as infor...

We discuss the monoidal structure on Franke’s algebraic model for the K(p) -local stable homotopy category at odd primes and show that its Picard group is isomorphic to the integers. MSC: 55P42; 55P60; 55U35

Bas van Fraassen claims that constructive empiricism strikes a balance between the empiricist’s commitments to epistemic modesty – that one’s opinion should extend no further beyond the deliverances of experience than is necessary – and to the rationality of science. In ‘‘Should the Empiricist be a Constructive Empiricist?’’ I argued that if the constructive empiricist follows through on her co...

Determinants of women’s employment are studied using data for 65,000 women living in 103 districts of six Arab countries. At the household level, socio-economic factors, care duties, and values are most important, and at the district-level economic development and gender equality. Women’s education clearly takes in a key position. Interaction analysis shows the effect of education to be stronge...
