This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Relational and Algebraic Methods in Computer Science, RAMiCS 2023, which took place in Augsburg, Germany, during April 3¿6, 2023.The 17 papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions.They deal with the development and dissemination of relation algebras, Kleene algebras, and similar algebraic formalisms. Topics covered range from mathematical foundations to applications as conceptual and methodological tools in computer science and beyond.Apart from the submitted articles, this volume features the abstracts of the presentations of the three invited speakers.

The A List edition of Michael Winter¿s brilliant fictional memoir, This All Happened depicts one man¿s descent from love to fury over a calendar year. Featuring an introduction by Lisa Moore.In this journal-a-clef, we are exposed to the kernel of truth that exists in each day. Told from the viewpoint of Gabriel English, This All Happened opens windows onto a richly textured, fast-paced filmic compilation of daily vignettes over one year. Gabriel¿s promises and actions early in the year have their repercussions by the end.Gabriel¿s passion for Lydia Murphy leads him into paroxysms of jealousy ¿ but he never abandons his shrewdly witty perspective on the vagaries of modern love.

Running contrary to much contemporary thought, this book argues that Aristotelian virtue ethics allows for at least some action-guiding moral principles to be true unconditionally and that justifying these principles can be done within Aristotelian theory.

Comprehensive social history, drawing on a range of primary and secondary sources, of the years from the overthrow of the Mamluk Sultanate to the beginning of Egypt's modern period.

From the Corner of Your Eye to the Focus of Your FearTampa Fire Rescue paramedic Andrew Tate thought he had put all of his father's crazy nonsense behind him. Twenty years ago, John Tate had been the respected dean of biology at the University of Tampa, a coolly intellectual researcher and devoted family man. Certainly not the type prone to outbursts of hysterical dementia. Then one summer afternoon he returned home covered in blood, ranting about bizarre creatures hiding in plain sight and declaring his intention to move out in order to protect his wife and son from the horrors now stocking him. For the past two decades, the senior Tate has lived at the periphery of his son's life, making only occasional contact while conducting what he calls "research" into his discovery. It's an uneasy relationship, but Andrew is thankful his deranged father has chosen to remain at arm's length.All that changes, however, after Andrew is drawn into a hostage standoff. During the course of a tense negation with the captor, he beholds something that seems to validate his father's claims: a living nightmare exposed for all to see and yet strangely camouflaged, both there and not there. It will be the first in a series of unwanted discoveries that will lead Andrew to the realization that a barely-glimpsed world exists at the edge of our awareness, a shadow ecosystem populated by terrifying denizens lurking in the light, awaiting the return of something vast and ancient and malevolent.Flavored by H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos,Periphery is a family drama at heart with a similar thematic tone as Stephen King's The Shining or Pet Sematary. It also shares the creature-centric sensibilities as The Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, The Terror by Dan Simmons, and Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell.For readers who value originality, vividly realized characters and a tight, captivating plot that pulls back the hem of the ordinary to reveal something darkly fascinating beneath, Periphery is an absolute must.

This book introduces and develops new algebraic methods to work with relations, often conceived as Boolean matrices, and applies them to topology.

The sixteenth century was a watershed in Egyptian his- tory

After being the center of powerful Islamic empires for centuries, Egypt was conquered in 1517 and made an outlying province of the Ottoman Empire. This study illuminates various aspects of Egypt's social, intellectual, and religious life in the sixteenth century, as described by the Egyptian Sufi Abd al-Wahhab al-Sha 'rani.

Goguen categories extend the relational calculus and its categorical formalization to the fuzzy world. Starting from the fundamental concepts of sets, binary relations and lattices, this book introduces several categorical formulations of an abstract theory of relations such as allegories, Dedekind categories and related structures.

Addresses the debate about how exactly the human race was reconciled to God, and provides an explanation of the Atonement. Avoiding metaphor and myth and the pitfalls of the theory of placating an angry God, Winter offers a solution which is compatible with the scriptures and tradition.
