I have written this book to help us recall the original dream for education, the vision of those who built the sandstone schools and those who taught in one room buildings for the sake of education. If we are a rich province, and we are, our schools should feel it. Our kids deserve the best we can give them and not to be shelved as a low budget item. But maybe, knowing that, we would be wiser to not just ask the government or the public to find schools' better'. The secret of return to respect might be hidden in what the lady told me- we in the schools should show others what we need and where we 'd like to do more, specifically....

It is the purpose of this book to bring these cultural advantages into more focus, in order to bring into light some ‘human’ aspects of the country, and how these can be integrated into the broader context of economics development. At the end of the day, their achievements cannot be measured by economic progress alone, but also how the people can have the proper sense of meaning (i.e. ‘feel’ at home) in their own homeland, instead of being just another ‘bolt’ in the obsolete industrial engine of economics....

Jingshan Park: For an extraordinary and unforgettable view of Beijing and the Forbidden City, casually climb the steps to the top of the hill to the Wanchunting (Wanchun Pavilion), which overlooks this small park, directly opposite the North Gate of the Forbidden City. From this playground of Ming and Qing dynasty emperors for almost 500 years, you will be able to get a grasp on the great city that is China’s capital. On Sunday’s choral groups gather in the park to perform amateur Peking Operas, play musical instruments or to sing songs once beloved by the masses....

Un paradox această carte!... Pentru că, deşi, la prima vedere, nu pare decât o înşiruire de date, localităţi, confesiuni, activităţi „domestice”, transcrieri, dialoguri etc., intrând în cuprinsul său rămâi uimit. Toate acestea adunate în jurul lui Florentin Smarandache, „vagabondul ştiinţific”, cum poate cineva i-a zis, devin dintr-o dată cartea lui de identitate. Devin faţete ale spiritului său nestăpânit şi te invită, parcă, să participăm la jocul său de a cunoaşte lumea şi prin rigurozitatea ştiinţei....

"Essayist Performance" This book demonstrates that artistic movement paradox lies founded by Romanian Smarandache far from reflecting a crisis of literature, it reconstructs, in an original and attractive. In this sense - appreciate Titu Popescu - movement is "an extension and formal doctrinal orientation destructionist that decade 70 - 80, has dominated American criticism", its source being in antimetaphyisics Nietzsche and Heidegger, in his critique of Freudian psychological identity....

Şi nu numai că o descoperă, dar o şi explică, analizându- i originile şi caracteristicile. Titu Popescu fails to distinguish the multicolored and polyphonic concert of Romanian literature, a new movement: movement paradoxist.

作者在近年来 提出的似是而非和自相矛盾推理，DSmT，可以看作是 经典的 DSmT 的扩展，但是它们又存在着重要的差异。比如，DSmT 可以处理由 信度函数表示的任意类型独立信息源间的信息融合问题，但它的重点是处理不确 定、高度冲突和不精确的证据源的融合问题。DSmT 能够不受 DST 框架的限制， 处理复杂的静态或动态融合问题，特别是当信息源间的冲突非常大时，或者是所考 虑问题的框架（一般情况下用Θ表示）由于Θ中命题 之间的界限模糊、不确定、 不精确而很难细分时，DSmT 便发挥了它的优势。...

This book has four chapters. In chapter one we just recall the notion of RD codes, MRD codes, circulant rank codes and constant rank codes and describe their properties. In chapter two we introduce few new classes of codes and study some of their properties. In this chapter we introduce the notion of fuzzy RD codes and fuzzy RD bicodes. Rank distance m-codes are introduced in chapter three and the property of m-covering radius is analysed. Chapter four indicates some applications of these new classes of codes....

DEFINITION 1.12: The ‘norm’ of a word v _ VN is defined as the ‘rank’ of v over GF(2) (By considering it as a circulant matrix over GF(2)). We denote the ‘norm’ of v by r(v). We just prove the following theorem. THEOREM 1.2: Suppose ____GF(2N) has the polynomial representation g(x) over GF(2) such that the gcd(g(x), xN +1) has degree N – k, where 0 _ k _ N. Then the ‘norm’ of the word generated by _ is ‘k’. ...

In this book authors for the first time introduce the notion of supermatrices of refined labels. Authors prove super row matrix of refined labels form a group under addition. However super row matrix of refined labels do not form a group under product; it only forms a semigroup under multiplication. In this book super column matrix of refined labels and m Å~ n matrix of refined labels are introduced and studied. We mainly study this to introduce to super vector space of refined labels using matrices....

THEOREM 1.1.1: Let S = {(a1 a2 a3 | a4 a5 | a6 a7 a8 a9 | … | an-1, an) | ai ∈ R; 1 ≤ i ≤ n} be the collection of all super row vectors with same type of partition, S is a group under addition. Infact S is an abelian group of infinite order under addition. The proof is direct and hence left as an exercise to the reader. If the field of reals R in Theorem 1.1.1 is replaced by Q the field of rationals or Z the integers or by the modulo integers Zn, n < ∞ still the conclusion of the theorem 1.1.1 is true. Further the same conclusion holds good if the partitions are changed. S contains only same type of partition. However in case of Zn, S becomes a finite commutative group....

It is important that the reader should be well versed with not only linear algebra but also n-linear algebras of type I....

In this chapter we for the first time introduce the notion of n-vector space of type II. These n-vector spaces of type II are different from the n-vector spaces of type I because the n-vector spaces of type I are defined over a field F where as the n-vector spaces of type II are defined over n-fields. Some properties enjoyed by n-vector spaces of type II cannot be enjoyed by n-vector spaces of type I. To this; we for the sake of completeness just recall the definition of n-fields in section one and n-vector spaces of type II are defined in section two and some important properties are enumerated....

SUPER INTERVAL SEMILINEAR ALGEBRAS In this chapter we for the first time introduce the notion of semilinear algebra of super interval matrices over semifields of type I (super semilinear algebra of type I) and semilinear algebra of super interval matrices over interval semifields of type II (super semilinear algebra of type II) and study their properties and illustrate them with examples. DEFINITION 4.1: Let V be a semivector space of super interval matrices defined over the semifield S of type I. If on V we for every pair of elements x, y ∈ V; x . y is in V where ‘.’ is the product defined on V, then we call V a semilinear algebra of super interval matrices over the semifield S of type I. We will illustrate this situation by some examples. Example 4.1: Let V = {([0, a1] [0, a2] | [0, a3] [0, a4] | [0, a5] [0, a6] | [0,a7]) | ai ∪ Z+ ∪ {0}; 1 ≤ i ≤ 7} be a semivector space of super interval matrices defined over the semifield S = Z+ ∪ {0} of type I. Consider x = ([0, 5] [0, 3] | [0, 9] [0, 1] [0, 2] [0, 8] | [0, 6]) and y =([0, 1] [0, 2] | [0, 3] [0, 5] [0, 3] [0, 1] | [0, 5]) in V. We define the product ‘.’ on V as x.y =...

In writing this book, the first problem I faced is to choose the contents of the book. Today the Smarandache Notions is so vast and diversified that it is indeed difficult to choose the materials. Then, I fixed on five topics, namely, Some Smarandache Sequences, Smarandache Determinant Sequences, the Smarandache Function and its generalizations, the Pseudo Smarandache Function and its generalizations, and Smarandache Number Related Triangles. Most of the results appeared before, but some results, particularyly in Chapter 5, are new. In writing this book, I took the freedom of including the more recent results, found by other researchers till 2009, to keep the expositions up to date. At the end of Chapter1, Chapter 3, Chapter4, and Chapter 5, some open problems are given in the form of conjectures and questions....
