The present paper focuses on the Mandarin Intransitive keflexive Verbs. These verbs, such as zi-sha 'to commit suicide', and zi fen 'to burn oneself, are formed with a reflexive morpheme zi-'self' and a root verb. Take the verb zi-sha 'to commit suicide' for example, the reflexive morpheme contributes the reflexive meaning and the root verb sha 'to kill' contributes the meaning`to kill'; hence,...

We prove that the dual or any quotient of a separable reflexive Banach space with the unconditional tree property has the unconditional tree property. Then we prove that a separable reflexive Banach space with the unconditional tree property embeds into a reflexive Banach space with an unconditional basis. This solves several long standing open problems. In particular, it yields that a quotient...

We introduce a new notion of a relational word as a finite totally ordered set of positions endowed with three binary relations that describe which positions are labeled by equal data, by unequal data and those having an undefined relation between their labels. We define the operations of insertion and deletion on relational words generalizing corresponding operations on strings. We prove that ...

This paper is an overview of a three years effort aimed at providing a flexible and powerful model for design applications. The result is a data model called SHOOD based on object-oriented concepts and frame-based knowledge representation. SHOOD implements sophisticated features, such as : • object persistence, • multi-methods along a specific specialization hierarchy, which is independent of t...

We show that every Abelian group satisfying a mild cardinal inequality admits a pseudocompact group topology from which all countable subgroups inherit the maximal totally bounded topology (we say that such a topology satisfies property ♯). This criterion is used in conjunction with an analysis of the algebraic structure of pseudocompact groups to obtain, under the Generalized Continuum Hypothe...

Most walking assist systems reported are not ready for using in real-world environment; where there are frequent perturbations .Our ultimate goal is to realize artificial reflexes to real-world walking support systems. This goal needs both qualitative and quantitative understanding of human reflexive mechanism. In this study we built a human walking simulator consisting of a Central Pattern Gen...
