We give new examples of discrete Schrr odinger operators with potentials taking nitely many values that have purely singular continuous spectrum. If the hull X of the potential is strictly ergodic, then the existence of just one potential x in X for which the operator has no eigenvalues implies that there is a generic set in X for which the operator has purely singular continuous spectrum. A su...

Four experiments examined whether the psychological refractory period (PRP) effect can be eliminated with ideomotor compatible (IM) but not stimulus-response compatible (SR) tasks, as reported by A. G. Greenwald and H. G. Shulman (1973). Their tasks were used: a left or right movement to a left- or right-pointing arrow (IM) or to the word left or right (SR) for Task 1; saying "A" or "B" (IM) or...

In this work, we aim to prove the theta dichotomy conjecture for dual dual pairs of type ( ̃ Sp(W ),O(V )) with dim(V ) odd. The crux of the proof relies on the analysis the reducibility of a certain a degenerate principal series representation of the group ̃ Sp(W ′) having double the rank of ̃ Sp(W ). This analysis is carried out by way of a normalized standard intertwining operator which is al...

The sphere S contains a simple family of constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces of the form Λp,q a ≡ S p(a)×Sq( √ 1− a) for p+ q+1 = n and a ∈ (0, 1) called the generalized Clifford hypersurfaces. This paper demonstrates that new, topologically non-trivial CMC hypersurfaces resembling a pair of neighbouring generalized Clifford tori connected to each other by small catenoidal bridges at a ...

A psychological refractory period (PRP) approach and the locus of slack logic were applied to examine the novel question of whether spatial translation processes can begin before the central bottleneck when effector or noneffector stimuli are processed from an egocentric (viewer-centered) perspective. In single tasks, trials requiring spatial translations were considerably slower than trials wi...

In this paper, flip bifurcations of homoclinic orbits in conservative reversible systems are analysed. In such systems, orbit-flip and inclination-flip bifurcations occur simultaneously. It is shown that multi-pulses either do not bifurcate at all at flip bifurcation points or else bifurcate simultaneously to both sides of the bifurcation point. An application to a fifth-order model of water wa...

We present a review of the development of long-period fiber grating devices for application in optical communication. The recent studies on the realization of long-period gratings in optical planar waveguides are also highlighted.

There is considerable lay discussion that children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have increased difficulty with multitasking, but there are few experimental data. In the current study, we examine the simultaneous processing of two stimulus-response tasks using the Psychological Refractory Period (PRP) effect. We hypothesized that children with ADHD would show a greater PR...

?ima?ki is one of the important toponyms in old elamite period. until now, there has been no agreement among archaeologists on the location of this toponym. this article wants to show why the kerman province cannot be the good candidate for this toponym. for this purpose, the authors used the archaeological and written documents. an important integrative analysis of archaeological survey data w...
