Under conditions of Levinson-Smith type, we prove the existence of a τ -periodic solution for the perturbed generalized Liénard equation u′′ + φ(u, u′)u′ + ψ(u) = ω( t τ , u, u′) with periodic forcing term. Also we deduce sufficient condition for existence of a periodic solution for the equation

Speakers that utter a sentence like in (1) are usually understood to communicated that they didn’t mean that all of Ann’s friends shared her grim view of the world. In order to explain this scalar implicature, the scalar expression a handful is assumed to evoke a set of alternatives whose members are ordered in terms of informativeness along the lines of (2). A listener reasons that the speaker...

We claim that ideas of etiquette can be expanded and utilized to facilitate, inform, and predict human-computer interaction and perceptions. By expanding on the qualitative model of etiquette proposed by Brown and Levinson we created a quantitative, computational model of etiquette that allows a machine to interpret and display politeness. This model was then embedded into a testbed and a serie...

This paper presents a model for human visual acuity which accommodates the e ects of peripheral vision and target velocity. The model is based upon work from the eld of visual perception in order to provide an accurate and principled result. The model is evaluated through a number of psychophysical experiments and subsequently re ned for the genus of stimuli commonly found in computer graphics ...

Abstract. In this paper we will present a general framework for solving linear systems of equations. The solver is based on the Levinson-idea for solving Toeplitz systems of equations. We will consider a general class of matrices, defined as the class of simple -Levinson conform matrices. This class incorporates, for instance, semiseparable, band, companion, arrowhead and many other matrices. F...

Germination of spores of the genus Bacillus can be stimulated by heat, L-alanine, or manganese. The reversal of L-alanine stimulation by D-alanine (Hills, 1950) appears to be specific and, in the present study, affords a tool for the exploration of the mechanisms and interrelations among heat, manganese and L-alanine stimulations. The heat stimulation of bacterial spore germination has long bee...

A series of batch tests were conducted to investigate the relative desorption potential of mercury from kaolin and glacial till soils under the effect of three extractant agents, namely, KI, NaEDTA and NaCl (all of them with a concentration of 0.1 M). These tests were conducted under different pH conditions (within a pH range between 2 and 12). Also batch tests using deionized water were perfor...
