“Tell Them that My Dayly Thoughts are with Them as Though I was Amidst Them All”: Friendship among Property-Owning Free People of Color in Nineteenth-Century Natchez, Mississippi

‘With my parents I can tell them anything’: intimacy levels within British Chinese families

Intimacy within relationships and the parent-child bond in particular is said to provide feelings of acceptance, warmth, sensitivity and an appreciation of self and can impact positively upon health and well-being of individuals. Views of intimacy can differ across cultures however, and may not be universally shared or understood. Accordingly, societies will have differing perspectives on how i...

Bringing them all Together

A sequent calculus for hybrid logics is developed from a calculus for classical predicat logic by a series of transformations. We formalize the semantic theory of hybrid logic using a sequent calculus for predicate logic plus axioms. This works, but it is ugly. The unnattractive features are removed one-by-one, until the final vestiges of the metalanguage can be set aside to reveal a fully inte...

Co-Büching Them All

We solve the open problems of translating, when possible, all common classes of nondeterministic word automata to deterministic and nondeterministic co-Büchi word automata. The handled classes include Büchi, parity, Rabin, Streett and Muller automata. The translations follow a unified approach and are all asymptotically tight. The problem of translating Büchi automata to equivalent co-Büchi aut...

The Cyclic Groups with them-DCI Property

For a finite group G and a subset S of G which does not contain the identity of G , let Cay(G , S) denote the Cayley graph of G with respect to S. If , for all subsets S , T of G of size m , Cay(G , S) Х Cay(G , T) implies S ␣ ϭ T for some ␣ ෈ Aut(G) , then G is said to have the m-DCI property. In this paper , a classification is presented of the cyclic groups with the m-DCI property , which is...
