What does the pictured traffic sign mean?
Am I allowed to turn in until the next no entry sign (seen in the background) about 25 metres ahead?
I am not allowed to enter, and the 25 m means something else?
Also, what is usually the purpose of such an arrangement?

How do I determine the 2D region bounded by some given points in symbolic form? In particular, I want something like this to work:

This works if I supply the value of $n$ beforehand or by adding /.n->...

Is it legal to install a Leviton BSRDP-W in the United States, wiring it as if it were a NEMA 6-15R? If not, then where is it meant to be used, since it says "To be installed with NEMA electrical boxes only"?

My interpretation is that:
∀x(Ax→∃y xBy) means All x that is A is B than some y
∃y∀x(Ax→xBy) means There is some y that for all x, if x is A, then x is B than y.
For example,
UD: people
Ax: x is older than 18
xBy: x is taller than y
Then,
∀x(Ax→∃y xBy) can be interpreted as All people that is ...1

Wikipedia defines the $k$th Pontryagin class of a real vector bundle $E$ as:
$p_k(E) := c_{2k}(E_{\mathbb{C}})$
This is in $H_{4k}(BE, \mathbb{Z})$. Here $E_{\mathbb{C}}$ is the complexification of the bundle and $c_{2k}$ is the $2k$th Chern class.
First, it's not clear to me what kind of bundl...

During my research, I came across this question.
Let $f,g \in C([0,1],[1,+\infty[)$ with $\int_0^1 f(x)\text{d}x \geq \int_0^1 g(x) \text{d}x$.
Is it true that $\int_0^1 \ln(f(x))^2 \text{d}x \geq \int_0^1 \ln(g(x)) \times \ln(f(x)) \text{d}x$?
