Enlargeable length-structure and scalar curvatures

Study of clavicle : length and curvatures in South Indian population

National Journal of Clinical Anatomy Abstract Background and aim of the study: The clavicle is a subcutaneous bone most frequently fractured at the junction of its lateral and middle third of the shaft. Anatomical variations of the curvatures of clavicle can be of relevance for surgical correction procedures like intramedullary or internal plate fixation. The aim of the present study was to obs...

Aspectuality and Scalar Structure

Such aspectual verbs and degree modifiers can be treated as scalar expressions with lower-bounded (‘at least’) semantics (on scalar semantics, see Horn, 1972; Gazdar, 1979; Atlas and Levinson, 1981; Atlas, 1984; Grice, 1989; Levinson, 2000). In cases where this semantic content falls short of the informativeness and relevance expectations raised by the conversational exchange, the hearer is ent...

Structure and Curvatures of Trajectories of a 2D Log-Gas

A model is constructed to study the statistical properties of irregular trajectories of a log-gas whose positions are those of the complex eigenvalues of the unitary Ginibre ensemble. It is shown that statistically the trajectories form a structure that reveals the eigenvalue departure positions. It is also shown that the curvatures of the ensemble of trajectories are Cauchy distributed.

Organizational Structure and Scalar Stress

It is a common observation in anthropology that larger societies tend to be more complex than smaller ones, and both size and complexity are normally considered to be major axes of variability in social evolution. Indeed, various measures of social-system size and organizational complexity are highly correlated Naroll (1956), for example, reports strong positive relationships between the popula...
