The existence of gifted students who have learning difficulties has been well documented (Brody & Mills, 1997; Dix & Schafer, 1996; Ellston, 1993 ; Fetzer, 2000; Hishinuma & Tadaki, 1996; Rivera, Murdock, & Sexton, 1995). These students display a learning capacity that is characteristic of students who are gifted, in parallel with a specific learning disability in areas of academic performance ...

It is common in shallow seismic studies for the compressional-wave velocity in unconsolidated sediments to increase by a factor of four or more at the transition from dry or partial water saturation to full saturation. Under these conditions, conventional NMO velocity analysis fails and leads to large depth and layer thickness estimates if the Dix equation is assumed valid. Prestack depth migra...

To evaluate the Greenspan era, we nevertheless need to address three questions: Is his success due to talent or just luck? Does he have a system of monetary policy or is he himself the system? What will be his legacy? Greenspan was certainly lucky, but he was also clairvoyant. Above all, he has developed a profoundly original monetary policy. His confidence strategy is clearly opposed to the cr...

Alan Turing (1912–1954) has been increasingly recognised as an important mathematician who, despite his short life, developed mathematical ideas that today have led to foundational aspects of computer science, especially with respect to computability, artificial intelligence and morphogenesis (the growth of biological patterns, important in mathematical biology). Some of Turing’s mathematics an...
