Japanese allows the numeral+classifier combination to appear in a variety of positions in relation to the head noun. This paper argues that it is necessary to posit at least four functional projections above NP (#P, CaseP, QP, and DP) and massive phrasal movement of such functional projections in order to provide a principled account for the structural diversity of the numeral+classifier combin...

The spatial distribution of 138 Dorylaimid and Mononchid species collected in a natural area from the Southeast Iberian Peninsula was studied. A chorological classification was used to examine distribution patterns shared by groups of species. Eighty species were classified into 14 collective and 16 individual chorotypes. The geographical projections of several collective chorotypes are illustr...

Trade wind regions cover most of the tropical oceans, and the prevailing cloud type is shallow cumulus. These small clouds are parameterized by climate models, and changes in their radiative effects strongly and directly contribute to the spread in estimates of climate sensitivity. This study investigates the structure and variability of these clouds in observations and climate models. The stud...

The orbit projection π :M →M/G of a proper G-manifold M is a fibration if and only if all points inM are regular. Under additional assumptions we show that π is a quasifibration if and only if all points are regular. We get a full answer in the equivariant category: π is a G-quasifibration if and only if all points are regular.

Head direction (HD) cell responses are thought to be derived from a combination of internal (or idiothetic) and external (or allothetic) sources of information. Recent work from the Jeffery laboratory shows that the relative influence of visual versus vestibular inputs upon the HD cell response depends on the disparity between these sources. In this paper, we present simulation results from a m...

Given a birational normal extension O of a two-dimensional local regular ring (R,m), we describe all the equisingularity types of the complete m-primary ideals J in R whose blowing-up X = BlJ(R) has some point Q whose local ring OX,Q is analytically isomorphic to O.

Let X be a rearrangement-invariant space. An operator T : X → X is called narrow if for each measurable setA and each ε > 0 there exists x ∈ X with x = χA, ∫ xdμ = 0 and ‖Tx‖ < ε. In particular all compact operators are narrow. We prove that if X is a Lorentz function space Lw,p on [0,1] with p > 2, then there exists a constant kX > 1 so that for every narrow projection P on Lw,p ‖Id− P‖ ≥ kX ....

Marcus Berger, University of Michigan 0. While much recent work has focused on various nominal and verbal properties of syntactic nominalizations, relatively little work has investigated how their internal structure is derived. Many authors adopt a ‘mixed projection’ hierarchy in which verbal projections appear interpolated into an otherwise nominal hierarchy. The resulting combination of proje...

ABSTRACT: In this paper we improve the known bound for the X-rank RX(P ) of an element P ∈ PN in the case in which X ⊂ Pn is a projective variety obtained as a linear projection from a general v-dimensional subspace V ⊂ Pn+v . Then, if X ⊂ Pn is a curve obtained from a projection of a rational normal curve C ⊂ Pn+1 from a point O ⊂ Pn+1, we are able to describe the precise value of the X-rank f...

We present a detailed analysis of an explicit model of warped D-brane inflation, incorporating the effects of moduli stabilization. We consider the potential for D3-brane motion in a warped conifold background that includes fluxes and holomorphically-embedded D7-branes involved in moduli stabilization. Although the D7-branes significantly modify the inflaton potential, they do not correct the q...
