Various Australian politicians have argued for the need to combine ‘hard heads and soft hearts’ in politics. Unfortunately, this article argues that that recognition is not yet fully accepted in Australian political science. While there has been a significant progress, both in terms of the number of senior women in the discipline and the gender content of Australian political science, problems ...

The other, termed ‘indirect possession’, involves agreement marking of one of a small closed set of forms that precede the possessum noun. Many Oceanic languages have exactly two indirect host forms in this closed set. In these languages the forms always function to distinguish items intended for consumption (as in (2)b.) from a residual category of general possessions (as in (2)a.), as is the ...

BACKGROUND A relatively high incidence of pathological conditions in retrieved femoral heads, including a group of patients having low grade B-cell lymphoma, has been described before. At short term follow up none of these patients with low-grade B-cell lymphoma showed evidence of systemic disease. However, the long term follow up of these patients is not known. METHODS From November 1994 up ...

Zirconia in Zirconia toughened alumina ceramic hip replacements exists in an unstable state and can transform in response to stress giving the material improved fracture toughness. Phase transformation also occurs under hydrothermal conditions such as exist in vivo. To predict the hydrothermal aging that will occur in vivo accelerated aging procedures have been used, but validation of these mod...

There is nothing new in deciding controversial issues by majority vote, but it is probably not as old as the use of lotteries in matters of distributive, retributive, and ‘elective’ justice. Probably under the influence of Assyrian practices of aleatoric selection, the ancient Israelites used lotteries in a wide range of circumstances as is attested by numerous references in the Old Testament.1...

In this paper I argue that the semantic similarity between the English and the Chaga benefactives is only apparent. Specifically, I argue that in Chaga, the applicative head relates an individual to the event described by the VP, following Marantz (1993), while in English, the applicative head relates an individual to the direct object (cf. Pesetsky 1995). I argue that applicative constructions...

i x i s = 1, x i s ≥ 0, x ij s ≥ 0 . • x i s ∈ [0, 1]: indicates whether label i is chosen at voxel s • y ij s = x ij s − x s ∈ [−1, 1]: presence of a surface and its direction • ρs: unary term, cost for label i at location s •φij s : convex smoothness term at voxel s for labels i and j • ek ∈ R: k-th canonical basis vector • T : alignment between prior and input data •α: normalization factor f...

Small tension signals that pass between the two linked heads of kinesin allow the motor protein to coordinate its walking action. Two new studies suggest that certain members of the two other major families of motor proteins, the myosins and dyneins, can do the same thing.

The Minimum Dominating Set (MDS) problem is to find a minimum such S for a given network graph. It is the fundamental math problem underlying routing: construct “cluster heads” in the network graph so you can rapidly, hierarchically, send messages from one cluster to another, and the cluster heads will oversee routing within and through the individual cluster. Of course, the members of S are th...

Although alumina has been used in orthopaedic surgery since the 1970s, the long-term clinical results of zirconia have not been well documented in vivo. We studied hips with these two different ceramics during the same period and with a minimum follow-up of ten years. Because the size of the alumina and zirconia heads was different, hips with 32 mm alumina heads and those with 28 mm zirconia he...
