Children with autism can benefit from participation in inclusive classroom environments, and many experts assert that inclusion is a civil right and is responsible for nurturing appropriate social development. However, most children with autism require specialized supports to experience success in these educational contexts. This article provides a review of the empirical research that has addr...

Here I = [-Ji (a2j-l,a2J) and XI(Y) is the characteristic function of the set I . In the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) the probability that no eigenvalues lie in I is equal to v(a). Also v(a) is a tau-function and we present a new simplified derivation of the system of nonlinear completely integrable equations (the aj's a r e the independent variables) that were first derived by Jimbo, Miwa, ...

Let X be a n × p matrix and l1 the largest eigenvalue of the covariance matrix X∗X . The “null case” where Xi,j ∼ N (0, 1) is of particular interest for principal component analysis. For this model, when n, p → ∞ and n/p → γ ∈ R∗+, it was shown in Johnstone (2001) that l1, properly centered and scaled, converges to the Tracy-Widom law. We show that with the same centering and scaling, the resul...

1 Consequence Relations A useful notion that cuts across both semantic (model-oriented) and syntactic (derivation-oriented) issues is the notion of a consequence relation. We will use capital Greek letters like Γ,∆ (Gamma and Delta) to refer to finite sets of formulas, and lower case Greek letters like φ, ψ (phi and psi) to refer to individual formulas. We will save ink by writing Γ,∆ for the s...

The present study examined the processing of the Mandarin Chinese long-distance reflexive ziji to evaluate the role that syntactic structure plays in the memory retrieval operations that support sentence comprehension. Using the multiple-response speed-accuracy tradeoff (MR-SAT) paradigm, we measured the speed with which comprehenders retrieve an antecedent for ziji. Our experimental materials ...

From elementary geometry we learn that two triangles are congruent if their edges have the same lengths, so it should come as no surprise that the edge lengths of a triangle determine the area of that triangle. On the other hand, the explicit formula for the area of a triangle in terms of its edge lengths, named for Heron of Alexandria (although attributed to Archimedes [4]), seems to be less c...
