all forms of creative production born of an intimate and individual urge, often secretive, unbound from the conventional art system rules. Through short descriptions of the Outsider art work of prominent artists and new protagonists often hosted in community mental health services, this section intends to investigate the latest developments of the contemporary art scene, where the distances bet...

We give a new definition of Scott rank motivated by our main theorem: For every countable structure A and ordinal α < ω1, we have that: every automorphism orbit is Σ α -definable without parameters if and only if A has a Π α+1 Scott sentence, if and only if A is uniformly boldface ∆α-categorical. As a corollary, we show that a structure is computably categorical on a cone if and only if it is t...

In this paper, we rigorously prove the existence and stability of asymmetric spotty patterns for the Gray-Scott model in a bounded two dimensional domain. We show that given any two positive integers k 1 ; k 2 , there are asymmetric solutions with k 1 large spots (type A) and k 2 small spots (type B). We also give conditions for their location and calculate their heights. Most of these asymmetr...

“The debate on sustainable production often ends in discussions on the feasibility of farreaching changes in relation to the competitiveness of companies. Industry itself and policy-makers tend to back away from engaging in profound processes of industrial transformation” (Green, quotation frames the problem of moving towards sustainable production while dividing the issue into two separate yet...

A dcpo P is continuous if and only if the lattice C(P ) of all Scottclosed subsets of P is completely distributive. However, in the case where P is a non-continuous dcpo, little is known about the order structure of C(P ). In this paper, we study the order-theoretic properties of C(P ) for general dcpo’s P . The main results are: (i) every C(P ) is C-continuous; (ii) a complete lattice L is iso...

Flower morphology of 10 Fritillaria species of subgenera Theresia and Fritillaria growing wild in Iran is studied using seventy morphological characters. Qualitative and quantitative datasets separated taxa into subgenera, sectional and groups. Three enigmatic species F. caucasica, F. zagrica (endemic to Zagros Mountains) and F. pinardii (recently reported from Zagros Mountains) appeared as clo...

dear editor multiple choice tests are the most common objective tests in medical education which are used to assess the ind­ividual knowledge, recall, recognition and problem solving abilities. one of the testing components is the post-test analysis. this component includes; first, qualitative analysis of the taxonomy of questions based on the bloom’s educational objectives and percentage of th...

— Let x1, x2, . . . , xn be the zeroes of a polynomial P (x) of degree n and y1, y2, . . . , ym be the zeroes of another polynomial Q(y) of degree m. Our object of study is the permanent per(1/(xi − yj))1≤i≤n,1≤j≤m, here named “Scott-type” permanent, the case of P (x) = x − 1 and Q(y) = y + 1 having been considered by R. F. Scott. We present an efficient approach to determining explicit evaluat...
