This paper has two goals: first, to account for some metrical patterns attested in Russian iambic tetrameter; and second, to show how a grammar of categorically ranked constraints can make predictions about non-categorical phenomena. The general framework adopted here is that of generative metrics; this paper proposes a new constraint-based approach that builds most directly on the work of Frie...

the society of his time. Very little attempt is made to place Newton within any context he would have recognized, or to understand the motives at work within the various practices on which he was engaged. The detail of evidence Westfall presents here does, ironically, provide a historian with almost enough ground to begin such analysis. Newton's notion of God's relation with nature and the work...

Obituary British dermatology and the Bristol medical community suffered a grievous loss on 1.7.92 when Bob and Anne warm vvere both killed in a car crash near Salisbury, while they were travelling to the Bournemouth Meeting of the British and he and Anne had been such central figures in the Association for so many years that it was difficult to believe he Meeting could continue in their absence...

Functional analysis of variance involves testing for differences in functional means across k groups in n functional responses. If a significant overall difference in the mean curves is detected, one may want to identify the location of these differences. Cox and Lee (2008) proposed performing a point-wise test and applying the Westfall-Young multiple comparison correction. We propose an altern...

Test statistics are often strongly dependent in large-scale multiple testing applications. Most corrections for multiplicity are unduly conservative for correlated test statistics, resulting in a loss of power to detect true positives. We show that the Westfall-Young permutation method has asymptotically optimal power for a broad class of testing problems with a block-dependence and sparsity st...

We adress the question of how a c − ¯ c–state (a J/ψ) can be dissociated by the strong color electric fields when moving through a color electric flux tube. The color electric flux tube and the dissociation of the heavy quarkonia state are both described within the Friedberg-Lee color dielectric model. We speculate on the importance of such an effect with respect to the observed J/ψ–suppression...

Acyldihydroxyacetone phosphate was first discovered as a lipid rapidly labelled by ’’Pi or by [p”P]ATP in guinea-pig liver mitochondria (Hajra & Agranoff, 1967,1968). This rapid labelling was due to the dephosphorylation and rephosphorylation of endogenous acyldihydroxyacetone phosphate in mitochondria (Hajra et al., 1968). Acyldihydroxyacetone phosphate was shown to be biosynthesized by the di...
