Some authors have suggested separate mechanisms for the processing of temporal intervals above versus below 2-3s. Given that the evidence is mixed, the present experiment was carried out as a critical test of the separate-mechanism hypothesis. Subjects reproduced five standard durations of 1-5s presented in the auditory and visual modalities. The Corsi-block test was used to assess effects of w...

A relativistic framework for computing the nuclear transparency extracted from A(p, 2p) scattering processes is presented. The model accounts for the initialand final-state interactions (IFSI) within the relativistic multiple-scattering Glauber approximation (RMSGA). For the description of color transparency, two existing models are used. The nuclear filtering mechanism is implemented as a poss...

In this paper, I argue that German shows a phenomenon formally akin to an ergative split. While transitive verbs as in (1a) show a NOM/ACC case pattern with the external argument marked nominative and the internal argument marked accusative (cf. 1b), it can be shown that with reflexively marked anticausatives as in (2a) the nominative theme is base-generated in a position c-commanded by the acc...

It has been shown that the Central Nervous System (CNS) integrates visual and inertial information in heading estimation for congruent multisensory stimuli and stimuli with small discrepancies. Multisensory information should, however, only be integrated when the cues are redundant. Here, we investigated how the CNS constructs an estimate of heading for combinations of visual and inertial headi...

Let L be a field containing an algebraically closed field and X an equidimensional quasiprojective scheme over L. We prove that CH i(X, n;Z/`) = 0 when n > 2i ≥ 0 and ` 6= 0; this was known previously when i ≥ dimX and L is itself algebraically closed. This “mod-`” version of the Beilinson-Soulé conjecture implies the equivalence of the rational and integral versions of the conjecture for varie...

In this paper, we undertake a feasibility study of improving the one-and-a-half-centered expansion (OHCE) method of Reading, Ford, and Becker [J.Phys. B 14, 1995 (1981);15, 3257 (1982)]. We have explored the efficacy of an alternative method to evaluate the charge-transfer matrix elements and improved the estimated time dependence of the charge-transfer scattering amplitudes. More projectile st...

An accurate value for the radiative lifetime of the 2s 2p~(~P) 3s ~P~ level in N II has been obtained using the beam-foil-laser spectroscopy method. The result (T = 0.456 ± 0.020 ns ) is shorter than the beam-foil lifetime values reported previously for the 3s' ~P term. No theoretical value for the lifetime of this term is available at the present time.

We establish an equivalent condition to the validity of the Collatz conjecture, using elementary methods. We derive some conclusions and show several examples of our results. We also offer a variety of exercises, problems and conjectures.

We present a partial ion yield experiment on freon 13, CF(3)Cl, excited in the vicinity of the C 1s and Cl 2p ionization thresholds. We have collected a large amount of cationic fragments and a few anionic fragments at both edges. We have observed a strong intensity dependence of Rydberg transitions with ion fragment size for the CF(n)Cl(+) and CF(n)(+)/F(+) (n=0-3) series at both the Cl 2p and...

We have measured hard x-ray photoemission spectra of pure vanadium sesquioxide (V(2)O(3)) across its metal-insulator transition. We show that, in the metallic phase, a clear correlation exists between the shakedown satellites observed in the vanadium 2p and 3p core-level spectra and the coherent peak measured at the Fermi level. Comparing experimental results and dynamical mean-field theory cal...
