On finitely subadditive outer measures and modularity properties
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2003 Let ν be a finite, finitely subadditive outer measure on P(X). Define ρ (E)=ν (X)−ν (E′) for E⊂X. The measurable sets Sν and Sρ and the set S={E⊂X/ν (E)=ρ (E)} are investigated in general, and in the presence of regularity or modularity assumptions on

This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...
