Social Choice and Welfare, 2017 This paper describes an unknown episode in the development of the theory of social choice. In the Summer 1949, while at RAND, Quine worked on Arrow’s (im)possibility theorem. This work was eventually published as a paper on (applied) set theory totally disconnected from social choice.

Journal of Functional Programming, 2010 AbstractWe introduce the arrow calculus, a metalanguage for manipulating Hughes's arrows with close relations both to Moggi's metalanguage for monads and to Paterson's arrow notation. Arrows are classically defined by extending lambda calculus with three constructs satisfying nine (somewhat idiosyncratic) laws; in contrast, the arrow calculus adds four

European Heart Journal, 2007 A 75-year-old man underwent yearly follow-up carotid Duplex scanning after carotid endarterectomy (CEA), performed 3 years ago, because of the presence of a large atherosclerotic plaque at the bifurcation of left common carotid artery with severe stenosis (80%). A residual atheroma was present post-CEA with a small stenosis.

The arrow of bioimpedance [PDF]
Kidney International, 2006 The value of bioimpedance in hemodialysis remains under debate. However, when appropriately used, bioimpedance can provide measures of body hydration characterized by a small error, a high sensitivity to changes in water volume, and, above all, a linear relationship over a wide range of volume changes. These features make it very useful to measure body

Does a Computer have an Arrow of Time? [PDF]
, 2007 In [Sch05a], it is argued that Boltzmann's intuition, that the psychological arrow of time is necessarily aligned with the thermodynamic arrow, is correct.

Bluff your way in the second law of thermodynamics [PDF]
, 2001 The aim of this article is to analyze the relation between the second law of thermodynamics and the so-called arrow of time. For this purpose, a number of different aspects in this arrow of time are distinguished, in particular those of time-(a)symmetry ...

Arrow’s Theorem by Arrow Theory [PDF]
, 2015 We give a categorical account of Arrow's theorem, a seminal result in social choice theory.

Discrete & Continuous Dynamical Systems - S, 2014 We believe the following three ingredients are enough to explain the mystery of the arrow of time: (1). equations of dynamics of gas molecules, (2). chaotic instabilities of the equations of dynamics, (3). unavoidable perturbations to the gas molecules. The level of physical rigor or mathematical rigor that can be reached for such a theory is unclear.

Arrow Spaces: An Approach to Inner Product Spaces and Affine Geometry [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Given a postulated set of points, an algebraic system of axioms is proposed for an "arrow space'". An arrow is defined to be an ordered set of two points

The Quantum Mechanical Arrows of Time [PDF]
Fundamental Aspects Quantum Theory, ed by D. Struppa and J.
Tollaksen, (Springer, Milan, 2013), 2013 The familiar textbook quantum mechanics of laboratory measurements incorporates a quantum mechanical arrow of time --- the direction in time in which state vector reduction operates. This arrow is usually assumed to coincide with the direction of the thermodynamic arrow of the quasiclassical realm of everyday experience. But in the more general context
