An important aspect of religious association is that adherents, as part of their religious duty, carry out various activities. One religious group known for keeping the elaborate records of day-to-day activities of its members is the…
This is a corrigendum to Acta Math. 196 (2006) as well as to the follow-up publications JFA 259 (2010) and to JFA 260 (2011).
A history of two Rolle Theorems, about the root of derivative and about root interval from 1690 till the end of XIX century.
Suppose that in a multiple choice examination the leading digit of the correct options follows Benford's Law, while the the leading digit of the distractors are uniform. Consider a strategy for guessing at answers that selects the option…
Literature-based knowledge discovery method was introduced by Dr. Swanson in 1986. He hypothesized a connection between Raynaud's phenomenon and dietary fish oil, the field of literature-based discovery (LBD) was born from then on. During…
We give a bibliography of works relating to homogeneous structures in the sense of Fra\"iss\'e, and related topics, mainly through 2016, with some narrow updating through 2021. We first give a list arranged by topics, with references to the…
This reviews the econophysics activities in Belgium from my admittedly biased point of view. Unknown historical notes or facts are presented for the first time explaining the aims, whence evolution of the research papers and friendly…
In English literature, the 19th century witnessed a significant transition in styles, themes, and genres. Consequently, the novels from this period display remarkable diversity. This paper explores these variations by examining the…
In 1993, just about a century after the epoch of Classical Invariant Theory and almost 30 years after Mumford's seminal book on Geometric Invariant Theory, Bernd Sturmfels approached the subject from a new, algorithmic perspective in his…
In this minireview a historical excursus in theoretical studies related to the Glauber diffraction theory has been presented with an accent on the recent developments in this subject.
Principles for the planning and analysis of observational studies, as suggested by W.G Cochran in 1972, are discussed and compared to additional methodological developments since then.

Publicly available data reveal long-term systematic features about citation statistics and how papers are referenced. The data also tell fascinating citation histories of individual articles.
We study the second law in the context of combinatorial processes, focusing on the mechanisms that give rise to irreversible behavior from an underlying deterministic, invertible, and reversible dynamics.
Benford's law states that in data sets from different phenomena leading digits tend to be distributed logarithmically such that the numbers beginning with smaller digits occur more often than those with larger ones. Particularly, the law is…
The different aspects of superstring phenomenology before and after 1995 are briefly reviewed. (Contribution to the conference SUSY97)
Green's famous essay (Nottingham, 1828), with which he introduced the potential function, was transcribed from its reprint in Crelle's Journal (1850-54), with several typographical corrections and a reference section added. Green starts…
Benford's Law predicts that the first significant digit on the leftmost side of numbers in real-life data is proportioned between all possible 1 to 9 digits approximately as in LOG(1 + 1/digit), so that low digits occur much more frequently…
The following three sections and appendices are taken from my thesis "The Foundations of Inference and its Application to Fundamental Physics" from 2021, in which I construct a theory of entropic inference from first principles. The…
