An exact meet in a lattice is a special type of infimum characterized by, inter alia, distributing over finite joins. In frames, the requirement that a meet is preserved by all frame homomorphisms makes for a slightly stronger property. In this paper these concepts are studied systematically, starting with general lattices and proceeding through general frames to spatial ones, and finally to an...

The axiomatic structure of the electromagnetic theory is outlined. We will base classical electrodynamics on (1) electric charge conservation, (2) the Lorentz force, (3) magnetic flux conservation, and (4) on the Maxwell-Lorentz spacetime relations. This yields the Maxwell equations. The consequences will be drawn, inter alia, for the interpretation and the dimension of the electric and magneti...

Non-nominative Subject Constructions (NNSCs, hereafter) in Korean have been investigated from a variety of perspectives (Gerdts & Youn 1988, 1999; Youn 1990, 1998; Y-J Kim 1990; KS Hong 1991; Yoon 1996, inter alia). Not surprisingly, the constructions exhibit a number of properties that are found across a wide spectrum of languages that have been claimed to possess NNSCs. In particular, most pr...

A Ruspini partition is a finite family of fuzzy sets {f1, . . . , fn}, fi : [0, 1] → [0, 1], such that ∑ n i=1 fi(x) = 1 for all x ∈ [0, 1]. We analyze such partitions in the language of Gödel logic. Our main result identifies the precise degree to which the Ruspini condition is expressible in this language, and yields inter alia a constructive procedure to axiomatize a given Ruspini partition ...

Let B(t), X(t) and Y (t) be independent standard 1d Borwnian motions. Define X + (t) and Y − (t) as the trajectories of the processes X(t) and Y (t) pushed upwards and, respectively, downwards by B(t), according to Skorohod-reflection. In the recent paper [8], Jon Warren proves inter alia that Z(t) := X + (t)−Y − (t) is a three-dimensional Bessel-process. In this note, we present an alternative...

The introduction states, that the study focuses inter alia on small-scale spatial characteristics that have been derived from data at two sites with small spatial distance (Potsdam and Lindenberg). From my point of view interesting is the finding of increased differences in daily sunshine duration on short distances compared e.g. to global irradiation. It will restrict significance in spatial d...

For nearly 100 years and at least in certain prominent psychoanalytic subgroups, the Oedipus complex remained a defining construct that determined a boundary for those within and outside psychoanalysis. The time is ripe for reconsidering its culture-specific and variable nature and its failure inter alia to explain with any degree of cogency ongoing internecine conflict in a community of clinic...

This paper presents a study analyzing the prosody of spontaneous speech exemplified by the OSU Buckeye corpus of American English employing the Fujisaki model and syllable duration analysis. Results show, inter alia, that model parameters are much more strongly influenced by the higher level discourse structure than by their syntactic function. The study shows that modeling strategies can be em...

It is demonstrated, both theoretically and experimentally, that the two basic parameters controlling the onset and extent of flocculation in sterically-stabilised dispersions are the particle con. centration and the depth of the pairwise interaction (free) energy minimum. It is also shown that the latter parameter is itself controlled, inter alia, by the thickness of the adsorbed polymer sheath...

The authors have proposed using category-theoretic sketches to enhance database design and integration methodologies. The algebraic context is called the Sketch Data Model (SkDM) and mathematically describes databases, views and their updates, and other database concepts. The system described here is a freely available graphical Java environment with a module that compiles a design incorporatin...
