The charge-asymmetry observed in a recent CPLEAR experiment was interpreted by the authors as a direct observation of T-noninvariance. While this is the simplest and most natural inference, and the observed effect agrees in sign and magnitude with theoretical expectation, adherents of T-invariance may argue that other interpretations are also possible. If K and K̄ are produced equally in p̄p anni...

How do political institutions shape government size and redistributional policies? An empirical model proposes a possible framework to evaluate sign and magnitude of the relation. Political institutions are classified in complementary constraints, namely political competition, competition in executive recruitment and constraints on the executive. Results show that the stronger democratic instit...

A polyhelix is continuous space curve with continuous Frenet frame that consists of a sequence of connected helical segments. The main result of this paper is that given n points in space, there exist infinitely many polyhelices passing through these points. These curves are by construction continuous with continuous derivatives and are completely specified by 3n numbers, i.e., the initial posi...

Abstract Rolle (2020) identifies an apparent morphophonological conspiracy in serial verb constructions (SVCs) Degema. He argues that it constitutes evidence for a partly-unified postsyntactic module, which morphology and prosody are built parallel (by ‘Optimality-Theoretic Distributed Morphology’). We argue the pattern Degema SVCs instead results from simultaneous interaction of two independen...

The primary aim of this review is to examine evidence for a functional role of gamma and theta oscillations in human episodic memory. It is proposed here that gamma and theta oscillations allow for the transient interaction between cortical structures and the hippocampus for the encoding and retrieval of episodic memories as described by the hippocampal memory indexing theory (Teyler and DiScen...

Checking for readability or simplicity of texts is important for many institutional and individual users. Formulas for approximately measuring text readability have a long tradition. Usually, they exploit surfaceoriented indicators like sentence length, word length, word frequency, etc. However, in many cases, this information is not adequate to realistically approximate the cognitive difficult...
