In a previous paper the authors developed a H−BMO theory for unbounded metric measure spaces (M, ρ, μ) of infinite measure that are locally doubling and satisfy two geometric properties, called “approximate midpoint” property and “isoperimetric” property. In this paper we develop a similar theory for spaces of finite measure. We prove that all the results that hold in the infinite measure case ...

Several recent studies have found markedly increased rates of schizophrenia among West Indian immigrants to the UK. Almost exclusively, authors have sought psychosocial explanations for these findings. This paper hypothesises that environmental causes, notably obstetric complications and perinatal infections, provide more plausible aetiological models, especially for the raised rates of schizop...

The present experiment examined the effects of input/output modality pairings on dual-task performance using the psychological refractory period (PRP) procedure. Four groups of participants performed two tasks composed of the same sets of inputs (visual and auditory) and the same sets of outputs (manual and vocal), but with different input/output modality pairings. Whereas modality pairings had...

Soil erosion is an issue in the Mediterranean slopes. Erosion plots are useful to quantify erosion rates, but data are difficult to scale up to a slope level. Moreover, short observational frameworks are generally established, making it difficult to represent multi-year fluctuations. This paper deals with the potential of parsimonious modelling to upscale plot erosion (~23 m2) at Monte Pino Met...

This study aims to show the effect of uncertainty on firms’ corporate investment and cash holding in five ASEAN countries, namely Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam. The was conducted using data from non-financial public listed firms these countries during 2006 2020 period. volatility is measured standard deviation economic policy index. results this find that increases decreases...

To get some intuition, we begin with the group of real numbers R under addition. A trivial upper bound for the size of a sum set is |A + A| ≤ |A| 2+|A| 2 (equality is obtained when every pair of elements of A have a distinct sum). If we build A by taking elements of R at random, then we expect |A+A| to be very close to this upper bound, since the probability of a1+a2 = a3+a4 is very small (wher...

The Clifford tori in S constitue a one-parameter family of flat, two-dimensional, constant mean curvature (CMC) submanifolds. This paper demonstrates that new, topologically non-trivial CMC surfaces resembling a pair of neighbouring Clifford tori connected at a sub-lattice consisting of at least two points by small catenoidal bridges can be constructed by perturbative PDE methods. That is, one ...
