The problems that arise when analyzing functional failures and the fail-safety of aircraft equipment at the design and certification space of forms of functional failures of equipment and their models, the generation of incompatible forms of failures and their after-effects, and the calculation of the probabilities of their occurrence are also considered.
Our central aim is to explore the ideas involved in the claim that certain institutional structures economize on virtue and, in particular, to explore the widely held idea that reliance on institutions that economize ...

Symbolic logics that embody different theories of natural-language conditionals (e.g., statements of the form If alpha, then beta) have been developed. One such logic is that of Ernest Adams. Regardless of whether Adams' theory of natural-language conditionals is correct, Adams' logic is useful. An Adams conditional alpha > beta expresses the idea that the conditional probability Pr(beta\alpha) is close to one;his logic may be used to reason about such ideas. In particular, Adam's logic may be used to reason about imperfect generalizations such as Nearly every alpha is a beta, provided that such a statement is taken to mean that the conditional probability that a randomly selected object is a beta-given that it is an alpha-is close to one. In Adams' logic, a finite set of premises {phi(1) > psi(1),...,phi(n) > psi(n)} is said to probabilistically entail a finite set of alternative conclusions {eta(1) > mu(1),...,eta(m) > mu(m)} iff(i.e., if and only if), roughly speaking, whenever the conditional probabilities Pr(psi(1)\phi(1)),...,Pr(psi(n)\phi(n)) are all close to one, at least one of the conditional probabilities Pr(mu(1) \ eta(1)),...,Pr(mu(m)\eta(m)) will also be close to one. Adams has developed a test for ascertaining whether a set of premises probabilistically entails a set of alternative conclusions. However, his test is computationally intensive. A new, more efficient test is presented in the first half of this paper. The second half (an appendix) proves that the new test is valid;this appendix can be safely skipped by readers uninterested in proofs.

In this article it is argued that one must distinguish between the arbitrary, short-run power of the state and the long-run, infrastructural power of the state. Game theory concepts are used to illustrate these ideas and successful development is linked to the infrastructural power of the state. The evolution of the latter is related to culture/ideology and this is given operational meeting within the context of simple game theory. The historical experience of Japan is utilized to illustrate these ideas.

This paper tries to shed a fresh light on the use of several key terms in traditional Chinese medicine (and philosophy) related to the theory of so-called systematic correspondence. Drawing on some influential works in Chinese science and civilization (e.g., Marcel Granet, Joseph Needham, Nathan Sivin), the paper argues that the idea of rhythm, properly defined, should become an organizing idea in studying the traditions of Chinese thinking and practice in medicine as well as in general. Rhythmicity is not periodicity (though they are inseparable from one another) and the idea of rhythm is more useful (than for example the notion of correspondence) for medical anthropology. The paper is divided into three parts: 1) the idea of rhythm in some key terms of traditional Chinese medicine, 2) the Chinese theory of resonance versus the idea of rhythm, and 3) the relation of resonance, rhythm and ecstatic experiences with respect to medical anthropology. An acquaintance with the arguments of my previous article in these pages will be helpful but not necessary for the present paper.

This report is a combined version of two talks presented by the authors at the Edinburgh workshop on b-phenomenology, December 1991. It presents the ideas of heavy-quark symmetry and gives an introduction to some applications. The references indicate where to go for more information: they are not intended to be complete, nor do they necessarily refer to the original work on any particular subject.

We describe a method for solving large-scale general quadratic programming problems. Our method is based upon a compendium of ideas which have their origins in sparse matrix techniques and methods for solving smaller quadratic programs. We include a discussion on resolving degeneracy, on single phase methods and on solving parametric problems. Some numerical results are included.
