According to modern developments in turbulence theory, the ”dissipation” scales (u.v. cut-offs) η form a random field related to velocity increments δηu. In this work we, using Mellin’s transform combined with the Gaussain large -scale boundary condition, calculate probability densities (PDFs) of velocity increments P (δru, r) and the PDF of the dissipation scales Q(η,Re), where Re is the large...

Sentence comprehension requires processing of argument structure information associated with verbs, i.e. the number and type of arguments that they select. Many individuals with agrammatic aphasia show impaired production of verbs with greater argument structure density. The extent to which these participants also show argument structure deficits during comprehension, however, is unclear. Some ...

Trade changes incentives to protect an open-access natural resource. In an OLG setting, the capital asset market transfers policy-induced future gains and losses to the current asset owner. The asset market creates incentives for agents currently alive to protect the natural resource under autarchy. Trade reverses these incentives. In a dynamic political economy, agents without bequest motives ...

Except for a few observations by von Frisch (1911), Dijkgraaf (1949), and Wichers (cited by Healey, 1957), no work has been done on the central nervous control of colour change, anterior to the medulla oblongata. Von Frisch performed a series of experiments in which he stimulated various parts of the minnow brain. After negative results from the cerebellum and the optic tectum he concluded that...

We present a hydrodynamic lattice gas model for two-dimensional flows on curved surfaces with dynamical geometry. This model is an extension to two dimensions of the dynamical geometry lattice gas model previously studied in one dimension. We expand upon a variation of the two-dimensional flat space Frisch-Hasslacher-Pomeau (FHP) model created by Frisch [Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 1505 (1986)] and in...

We address the problem of identifying linear relations among variables based on noisy measurements. This is a central question in the search for structure in large data sets. Often a key assumption is that measurement errors in each variable are independent. This basic formulation has its roots in the work of Charles Spearman in 1904 and of Ragnar Frisch in the 1930s. Various topics such as err...

An algorithm for recursive Frisch scheme system identification of linear single-input single-output errors-in-variables systems is developed. For the update of the estimated model parameters, a recursive bias-compensating least squares algorithm, which is based on the wellknown recursive least squares technique, is considered. The estimate of the output measurement noise variance is determined ...

The work of three leading "gures in the early history of econometrics is used to motivate some recent developments in the theory and application of quantile regression. We stress not only the robustness advantages of this form of semiparametric statistical method, but also the opportunity to recover a more complete description of the statistical relationship between variables. A recent proposal...

Using a very high precision spectral calculation applied to the incompressible and inviscid flow with initial condition ψ0(x1, x2) = cos x1 + cos 2x2, we find that the width δ(t) of its analyticity strip follows a ln(1/t) law at short times over eight decades. The asymptotic equation governing the structure of spatial complex-space singularities at short times (Frisch, Matsumoto and Bec 2003, J...

Title of dissertation: B-COMING: TIME’S PASSAGE IN THE B-THEORY BLOCKWORLD Lisa Judith Leininger, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation directed by: Professor Mathias Frisch Department of Philosophy I defend what is routinely held to be an incompatible combination of views: the idea that time passes and the idea that the universe is a four-dimensional manifold without an objective present.
