But there remains underlying question what exactly is meant when we talk about ‘residential investment’. This paper analyses the way that investment’ used as analytical category within different...

We prove that every place P of an algebraic function field F |K of arbitrary characteristic admits local uniformization in a finite extension F of F . We show that F|F can be chosen to be Galois, after a finite purely inseparable extension of the ground field K. Instead of being Galois, the extension can also be chosen such that the induced extension FP |FP of the residue fields is purely insep...

But not really. There is reason to believe that language and theory of mind have coevolved, given their close relation in development and their tight connection...
