We investigate various aspects of the modular representation theory of Z/p × Z/p with particular focus on modules of constant Jordan type. The special modules we consider and the constructions we introduce not only reveal some of the structure of (Z/p× Z/p)-modules but also provide a guide to further study of the representation theory of finite group schemes.

In this paper, we focus on the design of unitary space-time codes achieving full diversity using division algebras, and on the systematic computation of their minimum determinant. We also give examples of such codes with high minimum determinant. Division algebras allow to obtain higher rates than known constructions based on finite groups.

As it turns out, utterances like those in (1) are very informative. (1a) was used to explain that fans of the Kinks have accepted that Ray and Dave Davies (the two most famous members of the Kinks) will never agree on anything for long enough to play together again. (1b) was uttered as a means of accepting a member of a couple’s excuse for their having to leave an evening engagement early. An a...

Locative constructions, as an instance of double object constructions with various cognitive-linguistic concepts, have been successful in attracting the linguists. This paper tried to evaluate the acquisition of English locative constructions by Persian native speakers in the absence of negative evidence, focusing on the influence of L1 and participants’ proficiency level in the course of acqui...

A prepositional construction consists of a lexical verb followed by preposition with which it is semantically and/ or syntactically linked. The main focus this analysis the go occurring within constructions. aim paper to present frequency and distribution verbs in written spoken discourse. We will also determine all constructions go, their practical use different registers. Given that when dist...

Seawalls are built for Protecting of beaches against waves and preventing the progression of water to the beach. For a proper understanding about these constructions, a suiTable information about applied loads on these constructions should be existed. One of the important load that applied on these constructions is sea wave. Others loads are included: weight force of the walls, weight force of ...

Error-correcting codes that admit local decoding and correcting algorithms have been the focus of much recent research due to their numerous theoretical and practical applications. The goal is to obtain the best possible tradeoffs between the number of queries the algorithm makes to its oracle (the locality of the task), and the amount of redundancy in the encoding (the information rate). In Ha...

We propose in this paper a new approach for representing the prosody/syntax interface. We use for this a particular formalism, called Property Grammars, in which all information is represented by means of constraints. We show how alignment constraints can implement such an interface. One of the interests of these constraints, in comparison with other approaches such as optimality theory, is the...

Superlative expressions (such as “the tallest boy”) single out entities by comparing them to others with respect to a set of properties. Therefore, a proper semantics for a superlative expression requires a correct computation of the comparison set. In most of the cases, this can be done in a compositional fashion (leaving contextual influences aside). When superlative adjectives occur in preno...

This study investigates of-constructions in the predicates of two verbs, demonstrate and show, in academic discourse. A construction perspective is taken to examine how the two predicate constructions (‘demonstrate N1 of N2’ and ‘show N1 of N2’) would differ when the information-weighting of N1 and N2 are considered. The noun phrases were compared following Sinclair’s (1991) conception of seman...
