Many competent speakers initially judge that (i) is true and (ii) is false, though they know that (iii) is true. (i) Superman leaps more tall buildings than Clark Kent. (ii) Superman leaps more tall buildings than Superman. (iii) Superman is identical with Clark Kent. Semantic explanations of these intuitions say that (i) and (ii) really can differ in truthvalue. Pragmatic explanations deny thi...

We extend the basic elements of Clark’s theory of rank-one perturbations of backward shifts, to row-contractive operators associated to de Branges-Rovnyak type spaces H(b) contractively contained in the Drury-Arveson space on the unit ball in C. The Aleksandrov-Clark measures on the circle are replaced by a family of states on a certain noncommutative operator system, and the backward shift is ...

Recent work has demonstrated that Clark’s theory of unitary perturbations of the backward shift restricted to a deBranges-Rovnyak subspace of Hardy space on the disk has a natural extension to the several variable setting. In the several variable case, the appropriate generalization of the Schur class of contractive analytic functions is the closed unit ball of the Drury-Arveson multiplier alge...

T and Td loci control pubescence color of soybean with epistatic effects (TT TdTd, tawny; TT tdtd, light tawny or near-gray; tt TdTd or tt tdtd, gray). The objective of this study was to investigate the nature of flavonoids in the pubescence of near-isogenic lines (NILs) for these loci. Flavonoids were extracted with methanol from pubescence of cultivar Clark with tawny pubescence (TT TdTd) and...

In this series of three 90 minute lectures I will give a gentle introduction to the topic of Aleksandrov-Clark measures which turn out to have an uncanny way of appearing in various areas of analysis. In short, for an analytic map φ : D→ D, where D is the open unit disk, there is a family {μα : |α| = 1} of positive finite measures on the unit circle T associated with φ by the formula 1− |φ(z)|2...

In this paper we present a new multiresolution technique for general topology surfaces based on reversing subdivision with energy minimization. We first introduce a general reverse subdivision approach that starts from a trial set of biorthogonal multiresolution filters and refines the resulting coarse points using local masks. The refinement step tries to find a good approximation of the fine ...

Foundations of biosensor and its technological advancements thereof, was laid down by father of the biosensor, Professor Leland C Clark Jnr., in 1956 with advent of Clark oxygen electrode. The first biosensor dates back to 1962, when Clark and Lyons of the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital proposed the first enzyme based electrode to measure blood glucose[26]. The underlying principle being monito...

The President (Dr Littlejohn), in calling on Sir Andrew Clark to deliver his address on Catheter Fever, said: Gentlemen,?You all know the object of our meeting to-night. It is a special meeting of the Society to hear a paper by Sir Andrew Clark, and I am happy to inform you that he has a perfect right to come to Edinburgh at any time and read a paper here, because he is one of our corresponding...
