Weekly measures were completed by 125 undergraduates at Old Dominion University, which examined how average levels of anxiety interacted with anxiety coping motives to influence drinki...

Let S be a site. We introduce the notion of extension of strictly commutative Picard S-stacks. Applying this notion to 1-motives, we get the notion of extension of 1-motives and we prove the following conjecture of Deligne: if MRZ(k) denotes the integral version of the neutral Tannakian category of mixed realizations over an algebraically closed field k, then the subcategory of MRZ(k) generated...
