This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the 1991 Conrad Conference, held in Gainesville, Florida, USA, in December, 1991. Together, these give an overview of some recent advances in the area of ordered algebraic structures. The first part of the book is devoted to ordered permutation groups and universal, as well as model-theoretic, aspects. The second part deals with material variously connected to general topology and functional analysis. Collectively, the contents of the book demonstrate the wide applicability of order-theoretic methods, and how ordered algebraic structures...

The conference on Ordered Algebraic Structures held in Curat;ao, from the 26th of June through the 30th of June, 1995, at the Avila Beach Hotel, marked the eighth year of ac tivities by the Caribbean Mathematics Foundation (abbr. CMF), which was the principal sponsor of this conference. CMF was inaugurated in 1988 with a conference on Ordered Algebraic Structures. During the years between these two conferences the field has changed sufficiently, both from my point of view and, I believe, that of my co-organizer, W. Charles Holland, to make one wonder about the label "Ordered Algebraic...

From the 28th of February through the 3rd of March, 2001, the Department of Math- ematics of the University of Florida hosted a conference on the many aspects of the field of Ordered Algebraic Structures. Officially, the title was "Conference on Lattice- Ordered Groups and I-Rings," but its subject matter evolved beyond the limitations one might associate with such a label. This volume is officially the proceedings of that conference, although, likewise, it is more accurate to view it as a complement to that event. The conference was the fourth in wh at has turned into aseries of similar...

TRES VIDAS EN UNA. Narra la historia de una persona en tres etapas diferentes de su vida, quiza muy distantes una de la otra, pero que las unen muchas cosas entre si (El dolor, el coraje, el amor y las ganas de ver un mundo mejor) Es la historia de un ser, que a pesar de tanta lucha no deja de seguir creyendo que siempre hay un manana mejor, que no importa cual obscuro se encuentre el sendero, siempre ve una luz al final del camino. Desde muy pequeno comenzo la lucha por defender su alma al igual que la del, cuerpo, pero desgraciadamente sus fuerzas aun eran muy debiles para defenderse, pero...

TRAGEDIA EN SANTA MARIA. Como entender el dolor de un hijo ante la perdida del ser que le dio la vida? Como mitigar ese dolor? Al pasar los dias se incrementa el dolor volviendose intenso cada instante, que no dejas de pensar en aquella terrible noche en que el destino oh la misma maltad se las arrebato de su lado. La misma desgracia que un dia los separo a cada uno, ahora por cuestiones del mismo destino los volvera a unir para terminar con la maldad que un dia los separo. La lucha que han emprendido no sera nada facil; para eso tienen que quitar todo tipo de rencor que exista en sus...

Muchas de las cosas por las que uno lucha en la vida requieren de un absoluto esfuerzo de nuestra parte, por lo tanto son las que mas valoramos aun mas. En el amor podemos encontrar esa fuerza que nos impulsa para obtener la felicidad anhelada.
