Children who live in homes characterised by violence between parents, or directed at one parent by another, have been called the ‘silent’, ‘forgotten’, ‘unintended’, ‘invisible’ and/or ‘secondary’ victims of domestic violence (Edleson 1999; Kovacs & Tomison 2003; Tomison 2000). Recently, however, children’s exposure to domestic violence, and the effects that this exposure can have, has been inc...

– 1 – December 28, 1992 Icon workshops provide an opportunity for persons with an involvement in Icon to meet and discuss their mutual interests. The first two workshops were held in Flagstaff, Arizona in 1988 and 1990. The third workshop was held on September 10-11, 1992, in La Jolla, California. The workshop was sponsored by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the University...

The aim of this note is to give a proof of Tate’s theorems on homomorphisms of abelian varieties over finite fields [22, 8], using ideas of [26, 27]. We give a unified treatment for both l 6= p and l = p cases. In fact, we prove a slightly stronger version of those theorems with “finite coefficients”. I am grateful to Frans Oort and Bill Waterhouse for useful discussions. My special thanks go t...

The authors argue that the Digital Rights Management (DRM) provisions of Bill C-61– Canada's latest attempt at implementing its obligations under the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty, inter alia – is ultra vires of Parliament's enumerated powers, and unconstitutionally intrudes into the Provincial legislative sphere. The DRM provisions of Bill C-61 represent...

Bill size is often viewed as a species-specific adaptation for feeding, but it sometimes varies between sexes, suggesting that sexual selection or intersexual competition may also be important. Hypotheses to explain sexual dimorphism in avian bill size include divergence in feeding niche or thermoregulatory demands, intrasexual selection based on increased competition among males, or female pre...

Der Entwurf von Steuerungen und die Trajektorienplanung für lineare Systeme mit örtlich verteilten Parametern und konzentrierten Stelleingriffen können in gewissen Fällen auf der Basis von Potenzreihendarstellungen erfolgen. Es wird eine Methode vorgestellt, mit der diese Reihendarstellungen systematisch auch für solche partiellen Differentialgleichungen hergeleitet werden können, deren Koeffiz...

Only one rodent specimen has been previously described from the late Hemphillian ZX Bar local fauna from Sioux County, Nebraska-the holotype of the heteromyid Perognathus coquorum Wood. A re-examination ofthis specimen has led to its allocation to the dipodomyine heteromyid genus Prodipodomys Hibbard. An additional specimen of a fossil rodent has been recognized from the ZX Bar fauna that is re...

Come to this workshop to prepare and practice a negotiation strategy for a faculty position. In this workshop, we will help you answer the two most common questions asked by UCSF trainees during the negotiation process: What should I ask for? How can I ask for it? We highly recommend that you attend or watch the video from Bill Lindstaedt?s ?Negotiating your faculty job offer [1]? seminar prior...

We generalize the Bisin and Verdier (2000, 2001) model of intergenerational transmission to permit an arbitrary number of cultural traits. A key observation – that this model is equivalent to an evolutionary game under replicator dynamics – allows us to exploit the extensive literature on replicator systems. For some substantively interesting special cases, we demonstrate global stability of eq...
