Taming the 11D pure spinor b-ghost by Max Guillen

“…As an application of this novel formulation, the ghost number two vertex operator will easily be obtained in a completely covariant manner from a standard descent relation, the ghost number three vertex operator will be shown to satisfy the generalized Siegel gauge condition, and the 11D supergravity two-particle superfield will be constructed in a quite simple way.…”

Principles of rhetoric and its general origins by جميل نعمة, رقية حسين الاسدي

“… The most prominent findings of the rhetoric since its first roles are: 1- Rhetoric was known as the art of persuasion and one of its first roles in addition to its ethical goals. 2- Rhetoric carried humanitarian goals that linked it to sociology, so it was the only art that demanded human rights from tyrants, so it was the link between logic and language and linked it to sociology. 3- Because man is a social being, his needs were met that he did not reach through other arts. 4- It represented the means by which the prophets armed themselves since the descent of man to earth, up to the Islamic religion, in which preachers were known to quote a lot from the Book of God, which resulted in effects that contributed to the development of rhetoric in later ages. .   . …”
