Joseph Y. S. Cheng (ed.), Guangdong : Preparing for the WTO Challenge

The economic development of south China was an unforeseen phenomenon. In a very short time, Guangdong took “one step ahead”, putting itself in a leading role over the rest of the country. Its geographical and cultural proximity to Hong Kong, and its economic links with the former territory, have made it a favourite place for researchers , while Western scholars have also made their contribution to the growing number of studies. This book edited by Joseph Y. S. Cheng (City University of Hong K..

Putting Instruction Sequences into Effect

An attempt is made to define the concept of execution of an instruction sequence. It is found to be a special case of directly putting into effect of an instruction sequence. Directly putting into effect of an instruction sequences comprises interpretation as well as execution. Directly putting into effect is a special case of putting into effect with other special cases classified as indirectly putting into effect

Putting Gross National Happiness in the Service of Good Development

Gross National Happiness (GNH) has only recently appeared on the international stage, yet it was immediately met with sympathy by scholars, political activists, and politicians around the world. What is the reason for this strong appeal of this concept

Stasheff structures and differentials of the Adams spectral sequence

The Adams spectral sequence was invented by J.F.Adams almost fifty years ago for calculations of stable homotopy groups of topological spaces and in particular of spheres. The calculation of differentials of this spectral sequence is one of the most difficult problem of Algebraic Topology. Here we consider an approach to solve this problem in the case of Z/2 coefficients and find inductive formulas for the differentials. It is based on the Stasheff algebra structures, operad methods and functional homology operations.Comment: 31 page
