Residential Crisis Units (Rct:) are non-hospital-based facilities that provide mental health crisis intervention. This paper reviews the RCtZ literature base and fmds good evidence of the ability of RCUs to function as alternatives to hospitalization for many consumers, with equivalent effectiveness and for significantly less cost. Despite this promising research, the RCU model has not been wid...

Among the differences between 'real' gaps and parasitic gaps (PGaps) that have been noted in the literature two kinds of asymmetries have received much attention: (i) PGaps, unlike real gaps, are restricted to (certain kinds of) NPs (Cinque 1990, Postal 1993b) and (ii) PGaps, unlike real gaps, do not show Weak Crossover (WCO) effects (Lasnik and Stowell 1991). An implicit assumption of these wo...

Fish Lake Valley, in Esmeralda County, Nevada, sits at the southern end of the Mina Deflection where the very active Death Valley-Furnace Creek-Fish Lake Valley fault system makes a right step to transfer slip northward into the Walker Lane. Northern Fish Lake Valley has been pulling part since ca. 6 Ma, primarily along the Emigrant Peak normal fault zone (Stockli et al., 2003). Elevated tecton...

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the reproduction is not to be used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research. If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of “fair use” that use m...

We present a mechanistically faithful and mathematically sound approach to the numerical simulation of secondary thermal cracks propagation in EGS based on the variational approach to fracture [1-4]. While remaining compatible with classical theories, this approach provides a unified framework to crack nucleation, full path identification, including interaction between multiple cracks, branchin...

We study a bilateral multi-issue bargaining procedure with complete information and endogenous agenda. In the procedure, proposals must be made on only one issue at a time, although the proposer can choose which issue to bring to the table. When bargaining frictions are small, there is a large multiplicity of equilibrium agreements, including ones with delay. However, equilibrium payoffs cannot...

Proposing a certain notion of logical completeness as a novel quality criterion for ontologies, we identify and characterise a class of logical propositions which naturally extend domain and range restrictions commonly known from diverse ontology modelling approaches. We argue for the intuitivity of this kind of axioms and show that they fit equally well into formalisms based on rules as well a...

We study stochastic sandpile models with a height restriction in one and two dimensions. A site can topple if it has a height of two, as in Manna's model, but, in contrast to previously studied sandpiles, here the height (or number of particles per site), cannot exceed two. This yields a considerable simplification over the unrestricted case, in which the number of states per site is unbounded....

Abstract. A permutation is called layered if it consists of the disjoint union of substrings (layers) so that the entries decrease within each layer, and increase between the layers. We find the generating function for the number of permutations on n letters avoiding (1, 2, 3) and a layered permutation on k letters. In the most interesting case of two layers, the generating function depends onl...
