Ever since the publication of Dohm’s Ueber die bürgerliche Verbesserung der Juden (On Civil Improvement Jews) in 1781, which argued for Jewish political equality on humanitarian grounds, more and voices joined those demands. Prominent among them was David Friedländer, a friend disciple Moses Mendelssohn. One leading figures Berlin Haskalah, he worked towards establishing equal legal status Jews...

Recently, we have provided evidence that the onset of motion captures attention (Abrams & Christ, 2003, 2005a, 2005b). In the present article, we clarify the motion onset hypothesis, we discuss recent data (Franconeri & Simons, 2005) that, at least on the surface, seem to challenge the hypothesis, and we present results from a new experiment (Christ & Abrams, 2005). Finally, we conclude that, a...

The path integral of a gauge theory is studied in Coulomb-like gauges. The Christ-Lee terms of operator ordering are reproduced within the path integration framework. In the presence of fermions, a new operator term, in addition to that of Christ-Lee, is discovered. Such kind of terms is found to be instrumental in restoring the invariance of the effective Lagrangian under a field dependent gau...

Ectodermal dysplasia exhibits a classic triad of hypohidrosis, hypotrichosis, and hypodontia. Self- mutilation could be due to organic or functional causes. The occurrence of selfmutilation with functional cause represents a diagnostic challenge to practitioners. In most of the instances dentists are the first to recognize patient with ectodermal dysplasia as they report primarily with a compla...

A weak type (1, 1) estimate is established for the first order d-commutator introduced by Christ and Journé, in dimension d ≥ 2.
