Invariant Definition

Despite the time that has passed since the original short discussion, I think some useful points can be made regarding the note by Esparza and Gómez‐Treviño. First, the authors are quite correct to point out that (3) of their note is not a rotation invariant definition of phase as was claimed in the original discussion. This slip most likely carried into later texts unchallenged. The fact is, however, that (3) is rotation invariant for a 2‐D earth. It was in this context that the change was made to the definition in Vozoff (1971).

The bucket experiment in Newton’s Principia is quite simple. Nonetheless, physicists as well as philosophers and historians of science are still debating its purpose and success. I present two interpretations found in the literature. According to the first, Newton tries to prove absolute rotation and thus the existence of absolute space. According to the second, he tries to provide a definition of absolute rotation as it is used in his mechanics. Closely connected to this is his rejection of Descartes’ explanation of rotation and of motion in general. I conclude with a short discussion on whether the bucket experiment can be classified as a thought experiment.

AbstractTrauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) is a heterogeneous entity that contributes to a significant morbidity and mortality following trauma. The activated protein C system, endotheliopathy and platelet dysfunction have been implicated in the pathogenesis of TIC, although there are still controversies on the exact pathogenesis. TIC can be modified by hypoperfusion, acidosis, hypothermia, haemodilution, underlying disease conditions, pre-injury medications as well as genetic predispositions. Current definition of this syndrome is based on laboratory abnormalities that do not easily allow a distinction between adaptive and maladaptive changes of the haemostatic system. The management of the coagulopathy in the early phase of trauma focuses on the treatment of bleeding. The improving quality in the early damage control following trauma has led to a marked reduction in morbidity and mortality. In the later phase, hypercoagulopathy and inflammation contribute to organ dysfunction, venous thromboembolism and poor outcome. Despite considerable advances in trauma management, TIC remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge both in the early and late phases of trauma. This review mainly focuses on the pathogenesis of TIC, with a very short discussion on diagnostic and therapeutic principles.

AbstractOnce a new word or a new meaning is added to a monolingual dictionary, the lexicographer is to provide a definition of this item. This paper focuses on the methodological challenges in writing such definitions. After a short discussion of the central terminology (method and definition), the article describes factors which inform this process: linguistic theories, linguistic and lexicographical methods, and types of definitions. Using the example of elexiko, a dictionary project of the Institute for the German language (IDS) in Mannheim, Germany, the paper finally showcases the compilation of definitions in a monolingual online dictionary of contemporary German.

Necessary And Sufficient

In this paper we generalize (U,N)-implications. First we introduce (US, N)-operation by replacing the uninorm U with a semi-uninorm US in the definition of a (U, N)-operation. Then the necessary and sufficient conditions that a (US, N)-operation is a implication are given out. Furthermore, we characterize the (US, N)-implications. Last we generalize the definition of rotation invariant and investigate the intersection between the residual implications and (US,N)-implications derived from some semi-uninorms with the generalized rotation invariant.

New Spirituality

The traditional religious landscape is changing considerably, and the current religious landscape exhibits a remarkable variety. The religious landscape was shifting. Today in Europe there are three general trends – secularization, new spirituality and immigrant religions such as Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism additional to Judeo-Christian tradition. Phenomenological approaches are crucial for developing new and deepening existing modes of cooperation between dissimilar cultures and religions. Using phenomenological approach we look on religious landscape of Vilnius as pluralistic from the two general views: old historical, traditional source and nowadays the increasing diversity. The article includes a short discussion about definition of ‘religious landscape’ and the possibilities of its interpretation. Using definition epochē from phenomenological point of view we conclude that religious landscape of Vilnius is pluralistic. Santrauka Tradicinis religinis peizažas kinta labai pastebimai, o dabartinis demonstruoja ypač didelę įvairovę. Nūdien Europoje vyrauja trys bendros tendencijos – sekuliarizacija, naujasis dvasingumas ir imigrantų religijos, tokios kaip islamas, budizmas, iniduizmas greta judaistinės-krikščioniškosios tradicijos. Remdamiesi fenomenologiniu požiūriu, žvelgiame į religinį Vilniaus peizažą kaip į pliuralistinį, atsiveriantį iš dviejų bendrų perspektyvų: senoji istorinė, tradicinė versmė ir nūdien augantis skirtingumas. Straipsnyje imamasi trumpos diskusijos „religinio peizažo” tema ir apie šio apibrėžimo interpretavimo galimybes. Pasitelkiant sąvokąepochē, fenomenologinio mąstymo perspektyvoje prieinama išvada, kad Vilniaus religinis peizažas yra pliuralistinis.

The Relationship

The definition of bent is redefined for any finite field. Our main result is a complete description of the relationship between bent polynomials and perfect non-linear functions over finite fields: we show they are equivalent. This result shows that bent polynomials can also be viewed as the generalisation to several variables of the class of polynomials known as planar polynomials. An explicit method for obtaining large sets of not necessarily distinct maximal orthogonal systems using bent polynomials is given and we end with a short discussion on the existence of bent polynomials over finite fields.
