METHODOLOGICAL PROCEDURES: An ethnographic observation was conducted, and it was completed with the analysis of printed material originated from the X Congresso Brasileiro de Sexualidade Humana (10th Brazilian Congress on Human Sexuality), promoted ...

It is a classical result of Postnikov [15] that homotopy types X with at most two non-trivial homotopy groups [pi]mX = A and [pi]n<EM>X> = <EM>B>, 2 [less-than-or-eq, slant] <EM>m> < <EM>n>, are classified by the ...

The theory of reductive monoids has been well developed by Renner and the author, cf. [8, 13]. This paper concerns the finite reductive monoids MF where M is a reductive monoid and F[ratio]MEM>[rightward arrow]<EM>M> is a Frobenius map. We show that the Deligne-Lusztig characters ...

Certain ammonoids changed the mode of coiling or the growth angle of their last body chamber, constricted the terminal aperture, or developed apertural processes, which restricted all life functions. The modified terminal body chamber of macroconchs apparently functioned as a floating egg case for a single breeding phase. The young that hatched from tiny eggs fed on the enclosed female corpse. ...

The "Exploring Masculinities" (EM) programme was piloted in 22 Irish single-sex boys' post-primary schools during the late 1990s. Following objections from some influential journalists and an organisation representing parents whose sons attended Catholic secondary schools, the Minister for Education and Science put the planned dissemination of the programme on hold. The ...

We compute the (uni)versal deformation ring of an odd Galois representation [rho]: Gal (M/Q) [rightward arrow] Gl2(Fp) with an upper triangular image, where MEM> is the maximal abelian pro-<EM>p>-extension of <EM>F>[infty infinity] unramified outside a finite set of places ...

The low-Reynolds-number collision and rebound of two rigid spheres moving in an ideal isothermal gas is studied in the lubrication limit. The spheres are non-Brownian in nature with radii much larger than the mean-free path of the molecules. The nature of the flow in the gap between the particles depends on the relative magnitudes of the minimum gap thickness, h[prime prime or minute]o, the ...
