Dake-wa : Exhaustifying Assertions

Following the structure meaning approach (c.f. [3,4]), I argued in [5] that the prosodic peak of Contrastive-marking creates a partition of the asserted proposition into B (background) and F (Focus). The morphological wa-marking then introduces the Con operator that takes the structured meaning as its argument and yields a conventional implicature. The Contrastive-marked sentence presupposes th...

Gravitational Calorimetry

I generalize the quasilocal formulation of thermodynamics of Brown and York to include dilaton theories of gravity as well as Abelian and Yang-Mills gauge matter fields with possible dilaton couplings. The resulting formulation is applicable to a large class of theories including two-dimensional toy models and the low energy limit of string theory as well as to many types of matter such as mass...

Western Australia , Perth , WA , Australia

We have recently suggested that numerosity is a primary sensory attribute, and shown that it is strongly susceptible to adaptation. Here we use the Method of Single Stimuli to show that observers can extract a running average of numerosity of a succession of stimuli to use as a standard of comparison for subsequent stimuli. On separate sessions observers judged whether the perceived numerosity ...

Radiation resistance and fluorescence of europium doped BGO crystals

We report on a study of the radiation resistance and fluorescence of bismuth germanate scintillation crystals doped with europium (BGO : Eu). The transmission spectrum, the light output and the fluorescence spectrum of BGO : Eu crystals were measured before and after irradiation . The radiation resistance of BGO : Eu crystals was found to be increased with increase of europium doping. A red flu...
