Some problems related to Ramsay's theorem
No full textIn 1930, P.P. Ramsay published a paper containing a combinatorial theorem which has since then become very well known and has given rise to an extensive literature. Most of the research which has arisen from Ramsay's Theorem, has dealt with the problem of finding upper and lower bounds for the so called Ramsay numbers. In addition, some exact values of these numbers have been determined and some applications of Ramsay's Theorem have been given. -- In this thesis, we survey some of the research which has been done. In addition, some new results have been obtained. These results yield a better lower bound for certain classes of Ramsay numbers, than any of those that have been obtained up to the present time.Bibliography: leaves 44-45

Famous Stories from Panchatantra
No full textI just wrote a few hours ago, a propos of Selected Stories from Panchatantra, that it was curious that the same publisher put out two Panchatantra books by the same author but different illustrators within about four years of each other. Then again, there is yet another Panchatantra book within this series pictured on the back cover of this book! And this is that book pictured on that back cover! It matches its series mate in format: 7 x 9¼. It has the same author, illustrator, and length of 120 pages. It offers 38 numbered fables. There is again a T of C on 3-4. Among many old friends, I have enjoyed reading Jackal Remains Jackal (13). A lioness brings up a jackal with her cubs but notices that the jackal hangs back while the cubs attack an elephant. The lioness tells the jackal what he is and tells him that her cubs will never tolerate the company of a coward. The talkative tortoise here flies with swans (58). The foolish monkeys blow on their non-fire with bamboo pipes (66). La Fontaine's cunning old cat judges between the squirrel and the mouse on 115-18. The curious monkey on 118 loses his tail in the split log. The cover proclaims Illustrated in Colour, and there are one or two larger-than-half-page colored illustrations for each of the stories. Most curious of them may be the detailed presentation of the bedbug and the mosquito on the fat king's bed (29). The most dramatic may be the crab's throttling of the crane in mid-air on 91.Retold by Rashmi Jaiswa

Selected Stories from Panchatantra
No full textIt is curious that the same publisher put out two Panchatantra books by the same author but different illustrators within about four years of each other. Then again, there is yet another Panchatantra book within this series pictured on the back cover of this book! This slightly smaller-format (7 x 9¼) paperback is like Alka's Panchatantra Stories, for which I guessed a date of 2001. It offers 31 numbered fables on 120 pages. There is a T of C on 3-4. This collection features standard Panchatantra stories. New to me is a story prominently pictured on the book's cover: Greed and the Strange Wheel (16) has four friends searching for wealth. The last of them, too greedy to want to share the others' wealth, encounters a man who like him had been searching for diamonds. This man has a wheel revolving around his bloody head. Finding this new searcher at last relieves him of his burden, and now the new victim must wait for another greedy searcher to come. Again here, GGE appears as a Panchatantra story (23), as does MSA (39), again with a washerman as protagonist. On 73, a weaver with a wish to be granted is prevailed upon by his wife to ask for two more hands; the villagers think he is some evil spirit and beat him to death. The second-to-last story involves an iron bar that is allegedly eaten by mice (111). The cover proclaims Illustrated in Colour, and there are one or two larger-than-half-page colored illustrations for each of the stories.Retold by Rashmi Jaiswa

No full textThe biostratigraphical characteristics of three sequences outcropping in the Simbruini-Ernici Mts. are discussed in order to reconstruct the lithobiofacies evolution of the Central-Western Latium-Abruzzi carbonate platform during the Turonian-? Maastrichtian p.p.. For each section the macro- and microbiofacies are discussed, with the former characterized by the presence of rudists (Hippuritoida). The occurrence in the neighborhood of some fossiliferous beds of particular biostratigraphical value, us to make correlations with other areas. -Author
