We address a conjecture of D. Applebaum on small time trace asymptotics for subordinate Brownian motion on compact manifolds. In [1], heat trace asymptotics are computed for the semigroup of the square root of the Laplacian (the generator of the Cauchy process) on the n-dimensional torus, SU(2) and SO(3), and a conjecture is made [1, pp. 2493-2494] that such asymptotics should hold for all α-st...

toriyeh means concealing real intention of speech using its parallel and common words so that the listener constructs from speaker's speech a meaning what he/she meant. the purpose of this research is studying jurisprudential dimensions of toriyeh in order to clarify its distinction from lying and related jurisprudential commandments by explanation of the most important discussions about t...

the impact of gender gap on voting behavior generally is categorized into the traditional gap, convergence and revisionist patterns. this paper, firstly by using survey research method and data were collected from 230 eligible male and female voters in isfahan, makes clear that the first pattern or the traditional gender gap is dominated in this electorate, which denotes that women are more con...

In this paper we study harmonic functions of subordinate killed Brownian motion in a domain D: We first prove that, when the killed Brownian semigroup in D is intrinsic ultracontractive, all nonnegative harmonic functions of the subordinate killed Brownian motion in D are continuous and then we establish a Harnack inequality for these harmonic functions. We then show that, when D is a bounded L...

and privilege to the majority, or dominant, group. A minority is defined not by being outnumbered but by five characteristics: unequal treatment, distinguishing physical or cultural traits, involuntary membership, awareness of subordination, and in-group marriage. Subordinate groups are classified in terms of race, ethnicity, religion, and gender. The social importance of race is derived from a...

Although it is well established that people are better at recognizing own-race faces than at recognizing other-race faces, the neural mechanisms mediating this advantage are not well understood. In this study, Caucasian participants were trained to differentiate African American (or Hispanic) faces at the individual level (e.g., Joe, Bob) and to categorize Hispanic (or African American) faces a...

In an ERP investigation of biased homonym processing in minimal context, isolated homonym primes (e.g., ruler) preceded targets that were associated with either the dominant (e.g., inch) or subordinate (e.g., king) meaning of the homonym, were unrelated words (e.g., claw), or were nonwords (e.g., smole), presented 250 ms later in a lexical decision paradigm. Both dominant and subordinate associ...

The Swedish sound string /at/ (graphically: att) is associated with two grammatical functions: a) (part of) a subordinate conjunction and b) as an infinitive marker. Previous studies connect final lengthening and pauses with prosodic and syntactic boundaries in spoken discourse. Following these findings, this pilot study, with 5 short spontaneous discourses from 3 male speakers shows a correlat...
