Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations have been performed for U(1) lattice gauge theory in (2+1) dimensions on anisotropic lattices. We extract the static quark potential, the string tension and the low-lying “glueball” spectrum. The Euclidean string tension and mass gap decrease exponentially at weak coupling in excellent agreement with the predictions of Polyakov and Göpfert and Mack, but the...

• The sound change spread as a result of areal contact, possibly originating in Lushootseed (Thompson and Thompson 1972:450-1). ∗Thank you very much to Melinda Fricke, Clara Cohen, Keith Johnson, and the members of the Pacific Northwest Languages Working Group for helpful comments on how to improve this work. Thank you also to the Ditidaht Elders for sharing their language and culture with me, ...

The role of attention in perception and memory is one of the longest standing debates in cognitive psychology. Extensive evidence suggests that perception and memory are attention dependent. For example, Rock and Gutman (1981) asked subjects to study a red outline shape overlaying a green outline shape and to rate how much they liked it. After many trials of aesthetic judgment, the subjects wer...

Unconditional non-asymptotic methods for comparing two independent binomial proportions have the drawback that they take a rather long time to compute. This problem is especially acute in the most powerful version of the method (Barnard, 1947). Thus, despite being the version which originated the method, it has hardly ever been used. This paper presents various properties which allow the comput...

Since this paper was submitted for publication, a paper has appeared on the mechanism of urease by Mack and Villars [1923]. In this paper the authors agree with the present writer in accepting the Werner formula for urea. They have detected and estimated cyanate in solutions of urea undergoing zymolysis, and also have shown that the cyanate rises to a maximum and falls again towards the end of ...
