  1. Upper and Lower Egypt

    unreferenced date November 2010 File Ancient Egypt map en.svg thumb 200px Map of Lower and Upper Egypt Ancient Egypt was divided into two regions, known as Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt . To the north was Lower Egypt where the Nile stretched out with its several branches to form the Nile Delta . To the south was Upper Egypt , stretching to Syene . The two kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt were united c. 3000 BCE , but each maintained its own regalia. Thus, the pharaoh s were known as the rulers of the Two Kingdoms alternatively Two Lands , and wore the pschent , a double crown, each half representing sovereignty of one of the kingdoms. The terminology Upper and Lower derives from the flow of the Nile from the highlands of East Africa northwards to the Mediterranean Sea , so Upper Egypt lies to the south of Lower Egypt. Lower Egypt mostly consists of the Nile Delta . There were a number of differences between Upper and Lower Egyptians in the ancient world. They spoke different dialects and had different customs. Many of these differences, and the occasional tensions they created, still exist in modern times. In Egyptian Arabic , Lower Egyptians are known as ba arwa Coptic language Coptic Coptic han.rememhit and Upper Egyptians as a ayda Coptic Coptic han.remmaris .

In antiquity, it was the chief town of the nome Egypt nome Ati nome Ati in Egypt , and stood west of Sais , near the Phatnitic mouth on the western bank of the Damietta Branch of the Nile . The town and nome of Busiris were allotted to the Hermotybian division of the Egyptian militia. It was regarded as one of the birthplaces of Osiris , as perhaps, etymologically, the name itself implies. The festival of Isis at Busiris came next in splendor and importance to that of Artemis at Bubastis in the Egyptian calendar. Considerable ruins are still extant. The temple of Isis, indeed, with the hamlet which sprang up around it, stood probably at a short distance without the walls of Busiris itself, for Pliny v. 10. s. 11 mentions Isidis oppidum in the neighbourhood of the town. The ruins of the temple are still visible, a little to the north of Abusir, at the hamlet of Bahheyt . Pococke, Travels , vol. i. p. 34 Minutoli, p. 304.

A set with an upper bound is said to be bounded from above by that bound, a set with a lower bound is said to be bounded from below by that bound. Properties A subset S of a partially ordered set P may fail to have any bounds or may have many different upper and lower bounds. By Transitive relation transitivity , any element greater than or equal to an upper bound of S is again an upper bound of S , and any element lesser than or equal to any lower bound of S is again a lower bound of S . This leads to the consideration of least upper bound s or suprema and greatest lower bound s or infima . The bounds of a subset S of a partially ordered set P may or may not be elements of S itself. If S contains an upper bound then that upper bound is unique and is called the greatest element of S . The greatest element of S if it exists is also the least upper bound of S .

  1. Upper and lower probabilities

    Upper and lower probabilities are representations of imprecise probability . Whereas probability theory uses a single number, the probability , to describe how likely an event is to occur, this method uses two numbers the upper probability of the event and the lower probability of the event. Because frequentist statistics disallows metaprobability metaprobabilities , frequentists have had to propose new solutions. Cedric Smith statistician Cedric Smith and Arthur P. Dempster Arthur Dempster each developed a theory of upper and lower probabilities. Glenn Shafer developed Dempster s theory further, and it is now known as Dempster Shafer theory see also Choquet 1953 . More precisely, in the work of these authors one considers in a power set , math P S , math , a mass function math m P S rightarrow R math satisfying the conditions math m varnothing 0 , , , , , , , , , , , , sum A in P X m A 1. , math In turn, a mass is associated with two non additive continuous measures called belief and plausibility defined as follows math operatorname bel A sum B mid B subseteq A m B , , , , , , , , operatorname pl A sum B mid B cap A ne varnothing m B math In the case where math S math is infinite there can be math operatorname bel math such that there is no associated mass function. See p. 36 of Halpern 2003 . Probability measures are a special case of belief functions in which the mass function assigns positive mass to singletons of the event space only. A different notion of upper and lower probabilities is obtained by the lower and upper envelopes obtained from a class C of probability distributions ...
