ARE ANY SPECIES UNIFORM?

Towards a uniform analysis of any

In this paper, Universal any and Negative Polarity Item any are uniformly analyzed as ‘counterfactual’ donkey sentences (in disguise). Their difference in meaning is reduced here to the distinction between strong and weak readings of donkey sentences. It is shown that this explains the universal and existential character of Universaland NPI-any, respectively, and the positive and negative conte...

Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head: Are Any Genes Involved?

Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) is a pathologic process that results from interruption of blood supply to the femur bone resulting in the death of bone cells and collapse of the femoral head. Nontraumatic ANFH continuesto be a significant challenge to orthopedic surgeons. While the exact mechanisms remain elusive, many new insights have emerged from research in the last decade tha...

Are any growth theories linear?∗

Are there any natural resources?

Local and regional environments have for many centuries been seen as, or as being composed of, ''natural resources,'' which have generally been considered fully available for human use, irrespective of any use to which other species, purposefully or not, might put them. The global environment has more recently, though less routinely, been seen in this way. I examine full-human-use arguments in ...

Any Monotone Property of 3-Uniform Hypergraphs Is Weakly Evasive

For a Boolean function f, let D(f) denote its deterministic decision tree complexity, i.e., minimum number of (adaptive) queries required in worst case in order to determine f. In a classic paper, Rivest and Vuillemin [19] show that any non-constant monotone property P : {0, 1}( n 2) → {0, 1} of n-vertex graphs has D(P) = Ω(n). We extend their result to 3-uniform hypergraphs. In particular, we ...
