The paper contains an exposition of the basic results on reduction theory in reductive groups over global fields, in the adelic language. The treatment is uniform: number fields and function fields are on an equal footing.

In this article we describe and develop an optimality-theoretic (OT) analysis of foot-level (secondary) and word-level (primary) stress in Nanti, a Kampa language of Peru. The distribution of stress in Nanti is sensitive to rhythmic factors, syllable quantity, vowel quality, and to whether a syllable is open or closed. The interaction of these independent variables produces a complex, multigrad...

The concept of an integrated strengthening and damping retrofit system was proposed to design reinforced concrete (RC) columns for their optimal performance under multi-level earthquake hazards. As illustrated in Figure 1, the system consisted of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets wrapping around a column and viscoelastic (VE) layers on the FRP sheets. The motion of the outer surface of the ...

The problem of determining the values of the independent variable given a value of the dependent variable is commonly referred to as the inverse regression problem. This problem is also encountered in real life with circular data and we refer to it in that context as the inverse circular regression problem. For such a problem, we develop distance-basedmethods, and parametric methods, where we u...
