It was disappointing to see the dismissal by the committee of much of the work published by the STRmix developers. They seem to be only aware of some of the published body of work [1-33] We feel that this dismissal is a veiled accusation of bias, which challenges both the our scientific integrity and the scientific journal review process. The committee probably have no way of knowing that the S...

Low energy properties of the S=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains with Fibonacci exchange modulation are studied using the real space renormalization group method for strong exchange modulation. Using the analytical solution of the recursion equation, the true asymptotic behavoir is revealed, which was veiled by the finite size effect in the previous numerical works. It is found that the g...

nathalie sarraute belongs to the the modern novelists who take a discrete- fragmentary and physical-intuitive outlook to the representation of the human psyche. in fact, according to sarraute, it is only within dialogism that the actualities of the human psyche manifest themselves, and such actualities stem from strains and stresses between characters which run through the underlying subspace o...

Introduction Muscle anatomic variants are commonly encountered as serendipitous findings during surgery or routine dissections in medical schools. These variants may consist of absence of a muscle, supernumerary muscles, deviation from the normal course, or an unusual origin or insertion. While most such findings help adding to a compendium of variations for future academic dialogue, a mass eff...

We develop a model of figurative or indirect speech, which may convey a meaning that differs from its literal meaning. The model yields analytical conditions for speech to be figurative in equilibrium and delivers a number of comparative statics results. For instance, it predicts that the likelihood of figurative speech is greater if the benefit to the listener of correctly understanding the sp...

We explore the hypothesis that the Cabibbo angle is an expansion parameter for lepton as well as quark mixing. Cabibbo effects are deviations from zero mixing for the quarks but are deviations from unknown mixings for the leptons, such that lepton mixing is veiled by a Cabibbo haze. We present a systematic classification of parametrizations and catalog the leading order Cabibbo effects. We find...
