The Indo-European cosmogony refers to the creation myth of the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European mythology.. The comparative analysis of different Indo-European tales has led scholars to reconstruct an original Proto-Indo-European creation myth involving twin brothers, * Manu-('Man') and * Yemo-('Twin'), as the progenitors of the world and mankind, and a hero named * Trito ('Third') who ...
Shanks wrote the book Solved and Unsolved Problems in Number Theory, [3] which mostly depended on quadratic residues and Pell's equation.The third edition of the book contains a long essay on judging conjectures, [3]: 239 ff in which Shanks contended that unless there is a lot of evidence to suggest that something is true, it should not be classified as a conjecture, but rather as an open ...
In 1969 Schank introduced the conceptual dependency theory for natural language understanding. [17] This model, partly based on the work of Sydney Lamb , was extensively used by Schank's students at Yale University , such as Robert Wilensky , Wendy Lehnert , and Janet Kolodner , in a series of models of natural language processing.
Resnick: If the stationary organism is a man and the traveling one is his twin, then the traveler returns home to find his twin brother much aged compared to himself. The paradox centers on the contention that, in relativity, either twin could regard the other as the traveler, in which case each should find the other younger—a logical ...
Shanks early work was focused on so-called hidden-variables theory of non-relativistic elementary quantum mechanics, and the problem of the construction of classical models (models exhibiting the properties of determinateness and determinism) for quantum measurement statistics. Shanks argued that the various no-hidden-variables proofs rested on ...
Katherine, 10, and Sheila, 12, lived with their parents and two brothers in Kensington, a tightly-knit, upper-middle-class town in Maryland. After breakfast on March 25, 1975, the girls left for ...
The finding that "Mitochondrial Eve" was relatively recent and African seemed to give the upper hand to the proponents of the Out of Africa hypothesis.But in 2002, Alan Templeton published a genetic analysis involving other loci in the genome as well, and this showed that some variants that are present in modern populations existed already in Asia hundreds of thousands of years ago.

One popular theory: the Grimms' collection isn't a faithful rendering of the original women's stories. Unaware of their own masculine influence, they tweaked the tales — sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically — transforming rich reflections of real women's experiences into the flat, silencing stories that inspired the patriarchal Disney ...
