It's a race to seek the truth as Cathy Jurkovich, John Bush, and Carl Bennet travel the world to unravel one of mankind's greatest mysteries. But a dark foreign government organization is bound to stop the three at all costs. The closer that Cathy, John, and Carl are to the truth the more dangerous the journey becomes as each must not only battle the terror hunting them down but also their personal fears and shortcomings. With the backing of a secret organization known as the Twelve the three must overcome the greatest lie in human history.

This paper investigates some Frank aggregation operators of interval-valued neutrosophic numbers (IVNNs) and applies to multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems. First, the Frank t-conorm and t-norm are extended to interval-valued neutrosophic environment. Some new operational laws for IVNNs are dened and their related properties are investigated. Based on these new operational laws, some new aggregation operators for IVNNs are developed including the interval-valued neutrosophic Frank weighted averaging (IVNFWA) operator and the interval-valued neutrosophic Frank weighted geometric (IVNFWG) operator. Then some desirable properties and special cases of these new operators are ...

The author reviews the Confucian tradition through the two concepts, religion and humanities. Chinese scholars always adopt Zongjiao and Renwen from the ancient Chinese documents as the Chinese translation of religion and humanities. In respect of their own contexts of culture, the Chinese words and the English words share some similarities in meaning, but also have some vital differences. This book covers the major phases of the development of Confucianism, which have a wide historical span from the Pre-Qin period to the contemporary era with a focus on Confucianism in Song and Ming dynasties. Relevant ideas of modern Western disciplines such as philosophy of religion, religious studies and theology are employed by the author as references, not criteria, to illuminate key ideas in Confucian tradition and highlight the features of Confucianism as a religious or spiritual humanism. In some chapters, the author compares the eastern thinkers and theories with those western ones.
This book simultaneously presents the theory and the numerical treatment of elliptic boundary value problems, since an understanding of the theory is necessary for the numerical analysis of the discretisation. It first discusses the Laplace equation and its finite difference discretisation before addressing the general linear differential equation of second order. The variational formulation together with the necessary background from functional analysis provides the basis for the Galerkin and finite-element methods, which are explored in detail. A more advanced chapter leads the reader to the theory of regularity. Individual chapters are devoted to singularly perturbed as well as to elliptic eigenvalue problems. The book also presents the Stokes problem and its discretisation as an example of a saddle-point problem taking into account its relevance to applications in fluid dynamics.
