This study begins from two observations. The first is that linguistic variation is socially meaningful (see Labov 1963, Ochs 1992, California Style Collective 1993, Eckert 2000, Irvine 2001, Podesva et al. 2001, Bucholtz and Hall 2005, Campbell-Kibler 2006, inter alia). The second is that speakers use their knowledge of language (i.e., linguistic competence) to engage in various linguistic acti...

For a locally normal state of a boson system we construct, based on the Skorokhod integral and Malliavin derivative respectively their compound versions, weights showing similar properties as the reduced and the compound Campbell measures of classical point process theory. As application we provide several characterisations of coherent states and states with property (γh), generalising a respec...

Party identification became rapidly one of the most used concepts in empirical election studies since its first emergence in the 1950’s. Although negative party identification is part of the original concept by Campbell et al. (1960), it has been rarely analyzed in empirical studies as the mainstream of party identification research concentrates on positive party identification. As negative par...

The holy grail of obesity research is a simple, single solution that could stem the tide of this epidemic. But research we published in PLOS ONE today shows that this is an implausible, if not impossible, goal. Disciplines Medicine and Health Sciences | Social and Behavioral Sciences Publication Details Jenkins, A. & Campbell, L. (2013). Genetic research shows single approach to obesity won't w...

In this work, we propose integrating a drama manager into a visual novel to guide both storytelling and health intervention. We discuss certain narrative structures that can be used to guide a visual-novel-based health intervention and can potentially benefit future drama manager research. A Visual Novel for Health Care There has been a growing interest in developing and evaluating “games for h...

Scattered works by political scientists since the 1970s have reported that Democratic presidents have compiled stronger economic records than their Republican counterparts: economic growth has been higher, unemployment lower, and inequality has fallen during Democratic administrations while the opposite outcomes have occurred under Republican presidents. Recently, however, Campbell has vigorous...

We are re-submitting our revised manuscript entitled "Collagen reorganization at the tumor-stromal interface facilitates local invasion" by Paolo P. Provenzano, Kevin W. Eliceiri, Jay M. Campbell, David R. Inman, John G. White, Patricia J. Keely for possible publication as an article in BMC Cancer. We have carefully addressed each of the reviewers' concerns and submit a point-by-point response ...

One danger attendant upon reviewing a book as bad as this knuckle-headed assault on linguists and all they stand for is that one may inadvertently suggest by the length and vehemence of one's commentary that the book is worthy of extended discussion. Another is that by quoting the most strikingly absurd parts of the book the review might give an exaggerated sense of its entertainment value (thi...

Abstract. Brizolis asked the question: does every prime p have a pair (g, h) such that h is a fixed point for the discrete logarithm with base g? The first author previously extended this question to ask about not only fixed points but also two-cycles, and gave heuristics (building on work of Zhang, Cobeli, Zaharescu, Campbell, and Pomerance) for estimating the number of such pairs given certai...
