We show that, due to quantum fluctuations of the spacetime metric, any source of observable static gravitational fields is a classical object. We also show that, at the classical level, the gravitational mass of any system of finite volume is equal to its inertial mass in general only after time averaging.

In the famous Order in Council of 4 April 1627, it is laid down that the ‘study of antiquities is by good experience said to be very serviceable and useful to the general good of the State and Commonwealth’, and Charles I commands that Sir Edward Dering, for whose encouragement the Order was promulgated, should have ready access to ‘all or any records rolles registers or bookes within the several offices …’. Documentary record was looked upon as the normal style and medium of archaeology, and while such studies have in no way lost their value, they tend to be more and more illustrated by research into the actual facts and productions of bygone life. Research in the form of excavation is as old as the art of plundering tombs, and in some countries, Egypt for example, only a very meagre fraction of burials has escaped rifling hands. The research of the Renaissance, particularly in Italy, was not over scrupulous in its methods, but was at least passionately concerned in preserving its discoveries. While ancient Rome was being treated as a stone quarry during the second half of the fifteenth century, scholars began to dig with enthusiasm, and gradually exposed the great mass of mutilated sculpture which adorns Rome to-day. But the sole purpose of their search was to extract the object, if possible the big classical object, and Sabba del Castiglione complained that as he could not buy good antiques he was driven to buy sculpture by Donatello.

The paper presents a 3D Android-based classical object viewer system that improves user experience when viewing 3D datasets. The system is well suited to 3D simulated images and facilitates a more accurate list of images in response to search-based quarries using Android’s SearchView widget. Existing 2D object viewer systems are unable to display the simulated images accurately and older 3D object viewing systems face performance-related challenges. The developed Android system reduces the issues of performance and improves the flexibility in viewing rotation for 3D environments. It also provides better user experience and versatility to 3D object viewers through different paths and channels. The effectiveness of the developed system has been demonstrated using standard datasets.

AbstractLet (L, λ) be a locally solid Riesz space. (L, λ) is said to have the Levi property if for every increasing λ-bounded net (xα) ⊂ L+, sup xα exists. The Levi property, appearing in literature also as weak Fatou property (Luxemburg and Zaanen), condition (B) or monotone completeness (Russian terminology), is a classical object of investigation. In this paper we are interested in some variations of the property, their mutual relationships and applications in the theory of topological Riesz spaces. In the first part of the paper we clarify the status of two problems of Aliprantis and Burkinshaw. In the second part we study ideal-injective Riesz spaces.
