We give several remarks on Strichartz estimates for homogeneous wave equation with special attention to the cases of Lx estimates, radial solutions and initial data from the inhomogeneous Sobolev spaces. In particular, we give the failure of the endpoint estimate L4tL ∞ x for n = 2.

The mass/count distinction attracts a lot of attention among cognitive scientists, possibly because it involves in fundamental ways the relation between language (i.e. grammar), thought (i.e. extralinguistic conceptual systems) and reality (i.e. the physical world). In the present paper, I explore the view that the mass/count distinction is a matter of vagueness. While every noun/concept may in...

BACKGROUND The EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire is a standardized instrument used in the economic evaluation of health care to measure health state preferences across disease groups. A time trade-off (TTO) approach is commonly used to elicit preferences from the public. However, there are issues regarding how best to measure worse-than-dead states; at present, extreme valuations are round...

Economists often model choices as if decision-makers assign each option a scalar value variable, known as utility, and then select the option with the highest utility. It remains unclear whether as-if utility models describe real mental and neural steps in choice. Although choices alone cannot prove the existence of a utility stage, utility transformations are often taken to provide the most pa...

Temiar reduplication is a difficult piece of prosodic morphology. This paper presents the first computational analysis of Temiar reduplication, using the novel finite-state approach of One-Level Prosodic Morphology originally developed by Walther (1999b, 2000). After reviewing both the data and the basic tenets of One-level Prosodic Morphology, the analysis is laid out in some detail, using the...

The B s-¯ B s mixing parameter ∆M s is studied in the MSSM with large tan β. The recent Tevatron measurement of ∆M s is used to constrain the MSSM parameter space. From this analysis the often neglected contribution to ∆M s from the operator Q SLL 1

We compare the metric and the Palatini formalism to obtain the Einstein equations in the presence of higher-order curvature corrections that consist of contractions of the Riemann tensor, but not of its derivatives. We find that, with the exception of standard Einsteingravity, the two formalisms are not equivalent, but that the Palatini formalism is contained within the metric formalism, in the...

The Federal Ministry for Science and Research herewith gives information concerning the legal state for the legalization of foreign documents for purposes covered by study law (art. 63, 78, 85, 88 and 90 of the Universities Act 2002 – UG, BGBl. I no. 120/2002; art. 4 and 5 of the Fachhochschule Studies Act – FHStG, BGBl. no. 340/1993, in the present version). The following outline has been agre...

We classify " nice " loop envelopes to Bruck loops of 2-power exponent under the assumption that every nonabelian simple section of G is either passive or isomorphic to PSL2(q), q − 1 ≥ 4 a 2-power. The hypothesis is verified in a separate paper. This paper is a continuation of the work by Aschbacher, Kinyon and Phillips on finite Bruck loops [AKP]. In [BS3] we will apply these results and get ...
