between peak athletic performance and acute intoxication. In addition, prior

When it comes to consider the vast space that Latin
and the Romance languages occupy, geogra- phical, temporal, and social dimensions pop up at least as unavoidable. In coming to grips with the
evolution of the vulgar Latin into their extant reflexes, there is also unanimous agreement in regarding vowel quantity, syllable boundaries, and syllable weight as the three main concepts accounting for the
progressive stages and the final aspect of the neo-Latin languages today. In reassuming such a the...

Some special matrices can really help us to construct more than two
mutually unbiased maximally entangled bases in C2 C4. Through detailed
analysis of the necessary and sufficient conditions of two maximally entangled
bases to be mutually unbiased, we find these special matrices. Taking one such
kind of matrix, we present the steps of constructing five mutually unbia...
