We discuss the permanence of strong liftings under the formation of projective limits. The results are based on an appropriate consistency condition of the liftings with the projective system called “self-consistency”, which is fulfilled in many situations. In addition, we study the relationship of self-consistency and completion regularity as well as projective limits of lifting topologies. In...

This study examined Three Wishes (a projective technique commonly used with children) in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a fatal, progressive illness (n = 74). A reliable and parsimonious scoring system was developed to code wish type. Probands' responses were compared with unaffected siblings (n = 32) and a male comparison group (n = 43). Contrary to what was expected, the DMD gro...

One hundred and fifty-eight clinical psychologists practising in Britain completed a questionnaire concerning their use of and views about psychological assessment. The respondents reported spending on average slightly more than 50% of their working day on face-to-face clinical work and 13% of their time with clients on individual assessment. The results were compared to those of a similar surv...

This study examines whether coding open answers in a picture-based test, as to the extent they reflect the fear of being laughed at (i.e., gelotophobia), demonstrates sufficient validity to construct a semi-projective test for the assessment of gelotophobia. Previous findings indicate that cartoon stimuli depicting laughter situations (i.e., in the pilot version of the Picture-Geloph; Ruch et a...

In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for the almost sure central limit theorem started at a point, known under name of quenched theorem. This is achieved by using new idea conditioning with respect to both past and future Markov chain. As applications, provide projective condition CLT.

Pseudo Ricci symmetric real hypersurfaces of a complex projective space are classified and it is proved that there are no pseudo Ricci symmetric real hypersurfaces of the complex projective space CPn for which the vector field ξ from the almost contact metric structure (φ, ξ, η, g) is a principal curvature vector field.

a projective parameter of a geodesic as solution of certain ode is defined to be a parameter which is invariant under projective change of metric. using projective parameter and poincaré metric, an intrinsic projectively invariant pseudo-distance can be constructed. in the present work, solutions of the above ode are characterized with respect to the sign of parallel ricci tensor on a finsler s...

pseudo ricci symmetric real hypersurfaces of a complex projective space are classified and it is proved that there are no pseudo ricci symmetric real hypersurfaces of the complex projective space cpn for which the vector field ξ from the almost contact metric structure (φ, ξ, η, g) is a principal curvature vector field.

We associate the iterated block product of a bimachine with a deterministic Turing machine. This allows us to introduce new algebraic notions to study the behavior of the Turing machine. Namely, we introduce double semidirect products through matrix multiplication of upper triangular matrices with coefficients in certain semigroups, which leads in turn to the study of the iterations of bimachin...
