  Cardinal assignment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In set theory, the concept of cardinality is significantly developable without recourse to actually defining cardinal numbers as objects in theory itself (this is in fact a viewpoint taken by Frege; Frege cardinals are basically equivalence classes on the entire universe of sets which are equinumerous).
In modern set theory, we usually use the Von Neumann cardinal assignment which uses the theory of ordinal numbers and the full power of the Axioms of choice and replacement.
This definition is known as the von Neumann cardinal assignment.

 Cardinal number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linguistics, cardinal numbers is the name given to number words that are used for quantity (one, two, three), as opposed to ordinal numbers, words that are used for order (first, second, third).
In mathematics, cardinal numbers, or cardinals for short, are a generalized kind of number used to denote the size of a set.
Cardinality is also an area studied for its own sake as part of set theory, particularly in trying to describe the properties of large cardinals.

 Von Neumann cardinal assignment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The von Neumann cardinal assignment is a cardinal assignment which uses ordinal numbers.
The smallest ordinal having a given cardinal as its cardinality is called the initial ordinal of that cardinal.
In this case, it is traditional to identify the cardinal number with its initial ordinal, and we say that the initial ordinal is a cardinal.

The cardinal numbers were invented by Georg Cantor, when he was developing the set theory now called naive set theory in 1874–1884.
Naming this cardinal number \aleph_0, aleph-null, Cantor proved that many subsets of N have the same cardinality as N, even if this might be against intuition at first.
Cantor also developed a lot of the general theory of cardinal numbers; he proved that there is a transfinite cardinal number that is the smallest (\aleph_0, aleph-null) and that for every cardinal number, there is a next-larger cardinal (\aleph_1, \aleph_2, \aleph_3, \cdots).

For Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church are clerics who are taken from one place and "attached to another, "in order that their service might be of use to the Pope, to provide the Holy Father "greater flexibility" as he administers the world church.
From the reign of Leo IX (1048-1054), cardinals were the principal counselors of the pope, and by naming reformed minded clerics to this position, popes began to transform the pastoral life of the church in Rome.
(Cardinal Giovanni Borgia was a nephew of Rodrigo Borgia (Pope Alexander VI) and cousin to Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia.

In mathematics, the cardinality of a set is a measure of the "number of elements of the set".
The relation of having the same cardinality is called equinumerosity, and this is an equivalence relation on the class of all sets.
The cardinality of the natural numbers is denoted aleph-null ({\aleph_0}), while the cardinality of the real numbers is denoted \mathbf{c}.

The cardinal numbers were invented by George Cantor, when he was developing the Naïve set theory in 1874–1884.
He called these cardinal numbers transfinite cardinal numbers, and defined all sets that had a one-to-one correspondence with N to be denumerably infinite setss.
It can also be proved that the cardinal (aleph-0, where aleph is the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet, represented by the Unicode character א) of the set of natural numbers is the smallest infinite cardinal, i.e., that any infinite set admits a subset of cardinality.

In mathematics, cardinal numbers, or cardinals for short, are numbers used to denote the size of a set.
It is provable that the cardinality of the real numbers is greater than that of the natural numbers just described.
The latter cardinal number is also often denoted by c; it is the cardinality of the set of real numbers, or the continuum, whence the name.

 Boston Globe / Spotlight / Abuse in the Catholic Church / Cardinal Law and the laity
Cardinal Bernard F. Law met yesterday in Rome with Pope John Paul II, nearly a year after Law stepped down as archbishop of Boston and as some church-watchers say they expect Law to get a new assignment from the church.
"Cardinal Law remains in the pope's and the Vatican's good graces, notwithstanding the scandal he left behind in Boston," said the Rev. Richard P. McBrien, a theologian at the University of Notre Dame.
He is a cardinal-elector, entitled to vote in the election of the next pope, until his 80th birthday, and he serves on seven Vatican congregations, which are the agencies that oversee the global church.

Constants in an expression are assumed to be of the same type as the variables in the expression and they must agree.
For that reason, the expression in line 35 is invalid because (-112) is required to be a CARDINAL constant but it is negative and therefore not CARDINAL.
CARDINAL and CHAR types can also be compared to their own types, but none of the four can be compared directly to each other.

In the literature equilibrium assignment technique is suggested for such case.The equilibrium assignment technique is used in two different ways in O-D matrix estimation; (i) solving the mathematical programming (MP) formulation of equilibrium assignment technique for O-D matrix elements and (ii) using equilibrium assignment technique to obtain route choice properties which define link flow constraints.
In this dissertation a flow dependent multi-path fuzzy inference based assignment technique is proposed for route choice.The proposed assignment technique is used to obtain the route choice proportions which along with the observed link flows are then used in the O-D matrix estimation.
Results from various experiments on a test network using for different assignment techniques namely (i) incremental capacity restraint technique (ii) Dial's STOCH technique (iii) equilibrium technique and (iv) proposed (fuzzy inference based) technique show that O-D matrix estimates using the proposed assignment technique are good for a variety of flow patterns observed on the network.

 CNN.com - Cardinal Law denies being transferred to Rome - April 26, 2002
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Beleaguered Boston Cardinal Bernard Law denied a published report Friday that he would be leaving Boston and taking an assignment at the Vatican in the wake of the child sex abuse scandal involving priests in the United States.
Law himself did not respond to reporters' questions about the Herald report as he left his Philadelphia hotel under heavy security for the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul where a Mass was held in advance of the fund-raiser.
At Friday's new conference, Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua, Philadelphia's archbishop, said all cardinals are united on developing a so-called "zero tolerance" policy to dismiss any priest who is guilty of sexual abuse of children.

 CNS STORY: Pope temporarily merges four Vatican councils under two presidents
Cardinal Poupard's assignment as president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue filled a post made vacant after the pope Feb. 15 named its former head, Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, to be the new ambassador to Egypt and the Arab League.
The pope decided "in order to favor a more intense dialogue between people of culture and members of various religions," to unite "for the time being, the presidency of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue with that of the Pontifical Council for Culture," the Vatican said in a written statement.
The cardinal said the pope sees an "intrinsic link between the intercultural and interreligious dimensions." He recalled a speech the pope made during a meeting with Muslims Aug. 20 in Cologne, Germany, when he told the president of the Turkish Muslim Union that "interreligious and intercultural dialogue is a vital necessity."
