We generalize a theorem of Shao (1995, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 123, 575-582) on the almost-sure limiting behavior of the maximum of standardized random walk increments to multidimensional arrays of i.i.d. random variables. The main difficulty is the absence of an appropriate strong approximation result in the multidimensional setting. The multiscale statistic under consideration was used recently ...

One-to-many relations play a crucial role in two major research areas of current grammatical theory: quirky identity and paucity of resources. This volume collects ten papers addressing these topics from different perspectives, focussing on new theoretical approaches to long-standing empirical problems. The ideas and analyses documented in these contributions have emerged in the context of the ...

Design, performance characteristics, and application of a room temperature mid-infrared laser spectrometer are reported. This compact instrument is based on differencefrequency mixing of a widely tunable external-cavity diode laser and a diode-pumped monolithic Nd:YAG ring laser in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN). The differencefrequency tuning range of 3.98 μm to 4.62 μm was sufficie...

Zusammenfassung Das Schwerpunktprogramm „Sicherheit in der Informationsund Kommunikationstechnik“ wird seit Ende 1999 für die Dauer von sechs Jahren von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft gefördert. In diesem Schwerpunktprogramm forschen zwölf Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen an der Konzeption und der praktischen Entwicklung von Sicherheitsmechanismen und deren Integration zu einem s...
