“A designer baby? Yeah, right.” In-vitro fertilization in Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper

Abstract: The following paper is going to focus on one of the most popular, yet least examined contemporary US authors, Jodi Picoult. Taking as my starting point her well-known novel My Sister's Keeper (2004), I will explore in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and the concept of the “designer baby”. After presenting an overview of feminist scholarly work on this controversial subject, I will examine Picoult's own approach to reproductive technologies in the 21st century, and draw attention to the instrumental role of IVF in the re-configuration of gender and family structures. Ultimately, I will argue that My Sister's Keeper raises crucial questions about biology, morality and ethics in contemporary America, and sensitively problematizes the way reproductive health is politicized today.

Metric-based method of software requirements correctness improvement

Abstract: The work highlights the most important principles of software reliability management (SRM). The SRM concept construes a basis for developing a method of requirements correctness improvement. The method assumes that complicated requirements contain more actual and potential design faults/defects. The method applies a newer metric to evaluate the requirements complexity and double sorting technique evaluating the priority and complexity of a particular requirement. The method enables to improve requirements correctness due to identification of a higher number of defects with restricted resources. Practical application of the proposed method in the course of demands review assured a sensible technical and economic effect.

Unsupervised Stochastic Learning for User Profiles

Abstract: An unsupervised learning method for user profiles is examined. A user profile is considered the set of all the queries a user issues against an information or a database system. The mechanism of the Markovian model is employed where probabilistic locality translates to semantic locality in ways that facilitate a hierarchical clustering with optimal properties.

Real Hypersurfaces in Non-Flat Complex Space form with Structure Jacobi Operator of Lie-Codazzi Type

Abstract: In this paper the notion of Lie-Codazzi type of a tensor field T of type (1,1) on real hypersurfaces, which generalizes the notion of Lie parallel, is introduced. Real hypersurfaces in non-flat complex space forms, whose structure Jacobi operator is of Lie-Codazzi type, are studied. More precisely, the non-existence of such real hypersurfaces is proved.
