چکیده

0. Introduction When the Handbook of Integer Sequences came out in 1973, Philip Morrison gave it an enthusiastic review in the Scientific American and Martin Gardner was kind enough to say in hisMathematical Games column for July 1974 that “every recreational mathematician should buy a copy forthwith.” That book contained 2372 sequences. Today the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (or OEIS) [24] contains 117000 sequences. The following are seven that I find especially interesting. Many of them quite literally stagger. The sequences will be labeled with their numbers (such as A064413) in the OEIS. Much more information about them can be found there and in the references cited.

Deciphering the design of the tropomyosin molecule.

The crystal structure at 2.0-A resolution of an 81-residue N-terminal fragment of muscle alpha-tropomyosin reveals a parallel two-stranded alpha-helical coiled-coil structure with a remarkable core. The high alanine content of the molecule is clustered into short regions where the local 2-fold symmetry is broken by a small (approximately 1.2-A) axial staggering of the helices. The joining of th...

A method is proposed and tested for the analysis of ∆I = 2 staggering observed in nuclear rotational bands. We examine six super-and hyper-deformed bands, among which that of 149 Gd and possibly of 147 Gd seem to exhibit real staggering. However, we emphasize that the presence of staggering may not necessarily imply the occurrence of bifurcation. It is also shown that a similar staggering seen ...

Staggering and Synchronisation of Prices in a Low Inflation Environment: Evidence from German Food Stores

Only a few studies have analysed staggering and synchronisation in pricing behaviour of multi-product firms. These studies used low-frequency data in an environment of high rates of inflation. This paper investigates staggering and synchronisation of weekly prices for ten food products in 131 grocery stores in Germany over the period from May 1995 to December 2000 (296 weeks). Different forms o...

The ∆I=4 bifurcation in superdeformed bands

The origin of the ∆I=4 staggering effect which has recently been observed in several su-perdeformed bands is discussed. The Hamamoto and Mottelson model, which is based on a phenomenological parametrization of the hamiltonian as a quartic function of angular momentum , is analyzed. A stability of the description with respect to the C 4-symmetry breaking terms is studied. Recently, a puzzling ne...

LEARNER INITIATIVES ACROSS QUESTION-ANSWER SEQUENCES: A CONVERSATION ANALYTIC ACCOUNT OF LANGUAGE CLASSROOM DISCOURSE

This paper investigates learner-initiated responses to English language teachers’ referential questions and learner initiatives after teachers’ feedback moves in meaning-focused question-answer sequences to analyze how interactional practices of language teachers, their initiation and feedback moves, facilitate learner initiatives. Classroom discourse research has largely neglected learner init...
