    The Power of Alphabets Special Issue ALGEBRA Algebra Is an Important and a Very Old Branch of Mathematics Which Deals with Solving Algebraic Equations

    Volume No.8 March - April 2017 Issue No. 2 From the desk of the Editor Dear colleagues, The Alpha story is a fascinating one. Most people would designate as “English” the writing that is used to express the English language. This writing might also be termed “Latin,” or “Roman,” for even in its modern form English writing differs little from the Latin writing of more than 2,000 years ago. The Latin alphabet is a development from the Greek alphabet. The Greek alphabet, in turn, is an adaptation of a writing that was developed among the Semites of Syria about 1500 BC. Outwardly, this first Semitic writing seems to be an original and individual creation. Its principles, however, are certainly based on the Egyptian word-syllabic writing, which, together with the Sumerian, Hittite, Chinese, and other writings, belongs to a great family of ancient systems of writing. The history of the oldest of these writings, Sumerian, can be followed from about 3100 BC. Examples of written numbers exist from even earlier — as early as the late 3rd millennium BC — in other parts of the Middle East. This issue … We have attempted to give each of the 26 alphabets equal weightage. We identified individual contributors and allotted them an alphabet and asked them to put in their creative best in presenting thoughts around the Alphabet. I am confident you will find this issue informative, colourful, fascinating, …. (can I get an adjective starting with each alphabet!). My thanks and congrats to each contributor and thanks to the creative team for making this issue very special.

    Historical Development and Ethical Considerations of Vivisectionist and Antivivisectionist Movement*

    JAHR Vol. 3 No. 6 2012 UDK 179.4 Invited review Bruno Atalić* Historical development and ethical considerations of vivisectionist and antivivisectionist movement* Abstract This review presents historical development and ethical considerations of vivisectionist and antivivisectionist movement. In this respect it shows that both movements were not just characteristic for the past one hundred years, but that they were present since the beginning of medical development. It, thus, re-evaluates the accepted notions of the earlier authors. On this track it suggests that neither movement was victorious in the end, as it could be seen from the current regulations of animal experiments. Finally, it puts both movements into a wider context by examining the connection between antivivisectionism and utilitarianism on the one hand, and vivisectionism and experimentalism on the other hand. Key words: vivisectionism; antivivisectionism; bioethics; utilitarianism; experimentalism Introduction This review will try to present historical development and ethical considerations of vivisectionist and antivivisectionist movement in order to re-evaluate the accepted notions of the earlier authors. Firstly, it evaluates the Lansbury's notion that anti- vivisectionism was characteristic for the North European Protestant countries like England and Sweden, while vivisectionism was characteristic for the South Europe- an Catholic countries like France and Italy.1 Then, it proceeds to the Mason's over- 1 Lansbury C.

    6 a Water Closet Is a Simple, On-Off Feedback Control System Much Like That of Neurons

    FORTH DIMENSIONS FROM CLEPSYDRAS TO NEURAL NETS - ROBERT GARIAN 6 A water closet is a simple, on-off feedback control system much like that of neurons. This code models the system underlying a flushing toilet, implementingthe logic with embedded computations as a set of produc tion rules, a natural style for building complex causal models. SOVIET FORTH-INFO - DAVID KIPPING I1 The author visited the Soviet Union as part of a multi-disciplinary delegation. One study site was Forth-Info, a co- , op specializing in Forth. Like much in the U.S.S.R., nothing about this "private" company is simple, like profiting in a country with no copyrights! ARRAYS IN FORTH - LEONARD MORGENSTERN 13 In Forth, it can be easier to invent something that exactly suits one's needs than to conform to a standard method. But beginners often ask, "Why doesn't Forth have arrays?" Learn the common methods of defining arrays, and then some! FORST: A 68000 NATIVE-CODE FORTH - JOHN REDMOND I6 The "late binding" of deferred words lends flexibility to compiled code, but involves run-time decisions. Where these I can take place at compile time, try ForST's configurable, new "vectored word." This is the last of a five-part series. FORML XII: FORTH IN INDUSTRY - NEIL BAWD 20 Regular as the tides but far less predictable, FORML-goers gathered again in Pacific Grove, California last fall. Many of the typically belief-challenging, concept-stretching,water-testing, and otherwise mind-bending technical discus- sions were also marked by an upbeat mood about Forth's performance in today's marketplace.
