Disentangling Perjury and Lying

Committing perjury is frequently treated as closely related-if not equivalent-to lying. Both legal scholars of perjury and philosophers of lying make this assumption. This, in turn, informs subsequent conclusions about both the nature of perjury and the nature of lying

Function theoretical approach to anisotropic plane elasticity

The representation of general solutions of Lame system of plane elasticity is given with the help of so-called Douglis analytic functions. Using integral representation of these functions the basic boundary value problems for Lame system are reduced to equivalent singular integral equations on the boundaryyesBelgorod State Universit

Letter from W. Douglis Clark to John Muir, 1907 Nov 1.

SCOTTISH MOUNTAINEERING CLUB 29 Lauder Road,Edinburgh, 1st, November 1907.Dr. John Muir, Martinez, California. Dear Sir,I have much pleasure in informing you that the Scottish Mountaineering Club has elected you an Honorary Member in recognition of your many and varied services to the knowledge of mountains. I shall be glad to hear from you that you are willing to accept this compliment, I am, Yours truly, [illegible] Hon. Secy. 0396

Tunza Environmental Series for Children

This is a children's book where the characters build a time machine that lets them visit alternate futures based on the decisions they make in the present. The story provides a glimpse of a post-apocalyptic dystopia as a result of severe global climate change, as well as a future utopian ideal that comes as a result of implementing massive changes to land use and food and energy production

M-functions for closed extensions of adjoint pairs of operators with applications to elliptic boundary problems

In this paper, we combine results on extensions of operators with recent results on the relation between the M-function and the spectrum, to examine the spectral behaviour of boundary value problems. M-functions are defined for general closed extensions, and associated with realisations of elliptic operators. In particular, we consider both ODE and PDE examples where it is possible for the operator to possess spectral points that can not be detected by the M-function.Comment: 33 pages, explanations expanded, accepted for publication in Mathematische Nachrichte

Initial data for fluid bodies in general relativity

We show that there exist asymptotically flat almost-smooth initial data for Einstein-perfect fluid's equation that represent an isolated liquid-type body. By liquid-type body we mean that the fluid energy density has compact support and takes a strictly positive constant value at its boundary. By almost-smooth we mean that all initial data fields are smooth everywhere on the initial hypersurface except at the body boundary, where tangential derivatives of any order are continuous at that boundary.
