In the loop representation the quantum constraints of gravity can be solved. This fact allowed significant progress in the understanding of the space of states of the theory. The analysis of the constraints over loop dependent wavefunctions has been traditionally based upon geometric (in contrast to analytic) properties of the loops. The reason for this preferred way is twofold: for one hand th...

We look at a contrasting picture where some piece of functional/semantic information, namely tense, may be deened morphologically by tense innection, or else compositionally in syntax (in conjunction with innection on syntactic items). The question that is at issue is how to represent analytic tense formation to obtain a uniform functional structure for analytic and synthetic tense formation. S...

One approach for computations with special functions in computer algebra is the systematic use of analytic functions whenever possible. This naturally leads to problems of how to answer questions about analytic functions in a fully eeective way. Such questions comprise the determination of the radius of convergence or the evaluation of the analytic continuation of the function at the endpoint o...

Let P (x, z) = z + ∑d i=1 ai(x)z d−i be a polynomial, where ai are real analytic functions in an open subset U of R. If for any x ∈ U the polynomial z 7→ P (x, z) has only real roots, then we can write those roots as locally lipschitz functions of x. Moreover, there exists a modification (a locally finite composition of blowing-ups with smooth centers) σ : W → U such that the roots of the corre...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to review the Meta-Analysis Reporting Standards (MARS) of the American Psychological Association (APA) and highlight opportunities for improvement of meta-analytic reviews in the organizational sciences. Design/Methodology/Approach The paper reviews MARS, describes ‘‘best’’ meta-analytic practices across two schools of meta-analysis, and shows how implement...

the present research aimed at investigating the interaction of the classroom talk to have a better understanding of the teachers’ practice teaching which can pave the way for reflection on teaching. the study benefitted from conversation analytic perspective to qualitatively and interpretively examine the classroom discourse of the teacher-learner interaction. the classroom talk was analyzed th...

The theory of Coleman integration has been developed in a number of directions by Coleman [Col82, Col85, CdS88] and later by the author [Bes00a] (a totally different approach was worked out by Colmez [Col98] and by Zarhin [Zar96]). It provides a way of extending the ring of analytic functions on certain rigid analytic domains in such a way that one can often find an essentially unique primitive...
