Based on two ethnographical studies, our article explores social remittances from France and from the Gulf States, i.e. the way Egyptian migrants and returnees contribute to social change in their homeland with a focus on gender ideals and practices, as well as on the ways families cope with departure, absence and return. Policies in the home and host countries, public discourse, translocal networks, and individual locations within evolving structures of power, set the frame for an analysis of the consequences of migration in Egypt. This combination of structural factors is necessary to grasp the complex negotiations of family and gender norms, as asserted through idealized models, or enacted in daily practices in immigration and back home.

With the recent advent of technology within the smart grid, many conventional concepts of power systems have undergone drastic changes. Owing to technological developments, even small customers can monitor their energy consumption and schedule household applications with the utilization of smart meters and mobile devices. In this paper, we address the power set-point tracking problem for an aggregator that participates in a real-time ancillary program. Fast communication of data and control signal is possible, and the end-user side can exploit the provided signals through demand response programs benefiting both customers and the power grid. However, the existing optimization approaches rely on heavy computation and future parameter predictions, making them ineffective regarding real-time decision-making. As an alternative to the fixed control rules and offline optimization models, we propose the use of an online optimization decision-making framework for the power set-point tracking problem. For the introduced decision-making framework, two types of online algorithms are investigated with and without projections. The former is based on the standard online gradient descent (OGD) algorithm, while the latter is based on the Online Frank–Wolfe (OFW) algorithm. The results demonstrated that both algorithms could achieve sub-linear regret where the OGD approach reached approximately 2.4-times lower average losses. However, the OFW-based demand response algorithm performed up to twenty-nine percent faster when the number of loads increased for each round of optimization.

AbstractIn the absence of the axiom of choice, the set-theoretic status of many natural statements about metrizable compact spaces is investigated. Some of the statements are provable in $$\mathbf {ZF}$$ ZF , some are shown to be independent of $$\mathbf {ZF}$$ ZF . For independence results, distinct models of $$\mathbf {ZF}$$ ZF and permutation models of $$\mathbf {ZFA}$$ ZFA with transfer theorems of Pincus are applied. New symmetric models of $$\mathbf {ZF}$$ ZF are constructed in each of which the power set of $$\mathbb {R}$$ R is well-orderable, the Continuum Hypothesis is satisfied but a denumerable family of non-empty finite sets can fail to have a choice function, and a compact metrizable space need not be embeddable into the Tychonoff cube $$[0, 1]^{\mathbb {R}}$$ [ 0 , 1 ] R .

For a non-empty ground set [Formula: see text], finite or infinite, the set-valuation or set-labeling of a given graph [Formula: see text] is an injective function [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the power set of the set [Formula: see text]. A set-valuation or a set-labeling of a graph [Formula: see text] is an injective set-valued function [Formula: see text] such that the induced function [Formula: see text] is defined by [Formula: see text] for every [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a binary operation on sets. Let [Formula: see text] be the set of all non-negative integers and [Formula: see text] be its power set. An integer additive set-labeling (IASL) is defined as an injective function [Formula: see text] such that the induced function [Formula: see text] is defined by [Formula: see text]. An IASL [Formula: see text] is said to be an integer additive set-indexer if [Formula: see text] is also injective. A weak IASL is an IASL [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. In this paper, critical and creative review of certain studies made on the concepts and properties of weak integer additive set-valued graphs is intended.

SynopsisThe class CS of completely simple semigroups forms a variety under the operations of multiplication and inversion (x−1 being the inverse of x in its ℋ-class). We determine a Rees matrix representation of the CS-free product of an arbitrary family of completely simple semigroups and deduce a description of the free completely simple semigroups, whose existence was proved by McAlister in 1968 and whose structure was first given by Clifford in 1979. From this a description of the lattice of varieties of completely simple semigroups is given in terms of certain subgroups of a free group of countable rank. Whilst not providing a “list” of identities on completely simple semigroups it does enable us to deduce, for instance, the description of all varieties of completely simple semigroups with abelian subgroups given by Rasin in 1979. It also enables us to describe the maximal subgroups of the “free” idempotent-generated completely simple semigroups T(α, β) denned by Eberhart et al. in 1973 and to show in general the maximal subgroups of the “V-free” semigroups of this type (which we define) need not be free in any variety of groups.

In this paper, by a function of ordinals we understand a function which is defined for all ordinals and each of whose value is an ordinal. In [7] (also cf. [8] or [9]) we defined recursive functions and predicates of ordinals, following Kleene's definition on natural numbers. A predicate will be called arithmetical, if it is obtained from a recursive predicate by prefixing a sequence of alternating quantifiers. A function will be called arithmetical, if its representing predicate is arithmetical.The cardinals are identified with those ordinals a which have larger power than all smaller ordinals than a. For any given ordinal a, we denote by the cardinal of a and by 2a the cardinal which is of the same power as the power set of a. Let χ be the function such that χ(a) is the least cardinal which is greater than a.Now there are functions of ordinals such that they are easily defined in set theory, but it seems impossible to define them as arithmetical ones; χ is such a function. If we define χ in making use of only the language on ordinals, it seems necessary to use the notion of all the functions from ordinals, e.g., as in [6].

In this paper, we introduce asymmetry geometryfor all those mathematical structures which can be characterized by means of a generalization (which we call pairing) of a finite rectangular table. In more detail, let$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}$be a given set. Apairing$\mathfrak{P}$on$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}$is a triple$\mathfrak{P}:=(U,F,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC})$, where$U$and$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}$are nonempty sets and$F:U\times \unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}\rightarrow \unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}$is a map having domain$U\times \unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}$and codomain$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}$. Through this notion, we introduce a local symmetry relation on$U$and a global symmetry relation on the power set${\mathcal{P}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})$. Based on these two relations, we establish the basic properties of our symmetry geometry induced by$\mathfrak{P}$. The basic tool of our study is a closure operator$M_{\mathfrak{P}}$, by means of which (in the finite case) we can represent any closure operator. We relate the study of such a closure operator to several types of others set operators and set systems which refine the notion of an abstract simplicial complex.
