Percolation Beyond $Z^d$, Many Questions And a Few Answers

Percolation beyond Z D , Many Questions and a Few Answers

A comprehensive study of percolation in a more general context than the usual Z d setting is proposed, with particular focus on Cayley graphs, almost transitive graphs, and planar graphs. Results concerning uniqueness of innnite clusters and inequalities for the critical value p c are given, and a simple planar example exhibiting uniqueness and non-uniqueness for diierent p > p c is analyzed. N...

Many Questions and Few Answers: On Conversión in English

Conversión is a well-known word-formation process which, a priori, seems relatively easy to identify. However, a cióse look at its basics brings to light some critical questions which still remain unanswered to this day. The very nature of this operation, and the concepts of full and partial conversión are therefore here examined in the light of a need for explicit criteria for recognition of a...

Osteopathic manipulative treatment for pandemic influenza: many questions, few answers

In this volume, an article by Hruby and Hoffman titled "Avian influenza: an osteopathic component to treatment" proposes the use of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) as an adjunct to other forms of therapy in the management of a potential pandemic of avian influenza or "bird flu" [1]. This article is certainly timely and presents a much-needed reminder of the potential use of OMT in the ...
