Reliability Analysis of Random Fuzzy Unrepairable Systems by Ying Liu, Xiaozhong Li, Jianbin Li

“…Then we establish the fundamental mathematical models of random fuzzy unrepairable systems, including series systems, parallel systems, series-parallel systems, parallel-series systems, and cold standby systems with absolutely reliable conversion switches. Furthermore, the expressions of reliability and mean time to failure (MTTF) are given for the above five random fuzzy unrepairable systems, respectively. …”

Submassive Pulmonary Thromboembolism in a Patient with Thrombocytopenia: Therapeutic Challenge by Ronni Andrea Muñoz Tovar, Luis Carlos Alvarez Perdomo, Sandra Milena Rojas Molina, Silvana Jimenez Salazar

“…We present the case of a patient with submassive pulmonary thromboembolism associated with severe thrombocytopenia with signs of right heart failure and a requirement for systemic thrombolysis and anticoagulation, however with absolute contraindication for them. The case establishes a therapeutic challenge for the treating group, leading us to carry out an extensive search of the literature and propose a management algorithm in this complex situation.…”

Chasser le naturel : le préjugé métaphysique de Lolita by Antoine Traisnel

“…This article argues that literature for Nabokov engages reality with a skeptic’s eye, going so far as to posit the absolute sovereignty of the former. Thus literature (and Lolita in particular) chases nature—simultaneously chasing it away and chasing it down in order to master it.…”

DESCARTES VE ÖZNE OLARAK BENLİK by Sahabettin Yalçın

“…The aim of Descartes' cogito argument is to show that self-knowledge is the most certain of all kinds of knowledge and, that because of this it is absolutely indubitable. However, as I try to show in this paper, Descartes makes unjustified deductions from the cogito argument such as that the thinking self is a simple, immortal substance. …”
