Motivated by the Ax–Kochen/Ershov principle, a large number of questions about Henselian valued fields have been shown to reduce to analogous questions about the value group and residue field. In this article, we investigate the burden of Henselian valued fields in the three-sorted Denef–Pas language. If T is a theory of Henselian valued fields admitting relative quantifier elimination (in any characteristic), we show that the burden of T is equal to the sum of the burdens of its value group and (...) residue field. As a consequence, T is NTP2 if and only if its residue field and value group are; the same is true for the statements “T is strong” and “T has finite burden.”. (shrink)

The goal of this paper is to generalise Alex Rennet's proof of the non‐axiomatizability of the class of pseudo‐o‐minimal structures. Rennet showed that if is an expansion of the language of ordered fields and is the class of pseudo‐o‐minimal ‐structures (‐structures elementarily equivalent to an ultraproduct of o‐minimal structures) then is not computably axiomatizable. We give a general version of this theorem, and apply it to several classes of structures.

This article treats the use of sonification in Percy Military Training Hospital’s intensive care unit, through an interview with Anaesthetist Professor Bruno Debien. It starts with a description of the environment completed by some technical information concerning the equipment. This is followed by a commented transcription of the interview with Bruno Debien and concludes with reflections on the nature of audio alarms and their relation to different modes of listening.
