It Looks Like Us by Alison Ames

If it looks and smells like the reals

Given a topological space < X, T > ∈ M, an elementary submodel of set theory, we define XM to be X ∩ M with topology generated by {U ∩ M : U ∈ T ∩ M}. We prove that if XM is homeomorphic to R, then X = XM . The same holds for arbitrary locally compact uncountable separable metric spaces, but is independent of ZFC if “local compactness” is omitted. Given a model of set theory, i.e. a collection ...

The Drosophila Genome: So That's What it Looks Like!

When the participants in the 41st Annual Drosophila Research Conference returned to their labs after the meeting, their working landscape had changed. The annotated sequence of the euchromatic Drosophila melanogaster genome had become public information as a result of the unprecedented collaboration between the private Celera Genomics company and the public Drosophila Genome Project consortium ...

When it looks like familial hypercholesterolemia...but is not.

Pragmatic interpretation of contrastive prosody: It looks like speech adaptation

Drawing on insights from recent work on phonetic adaptation, we examined how listeners interpret prosodic cues to two opposing pragmatic meanings of the phrase “It looks like an X” (e.g., “It looks like a zebra (and it is one)” and “It LOOKS like a zebra (but its actually not)”. After establishing that different prosodic contours map onto these meanings (Experiment 1), we demonstrated that pros...
