Introduction. The main task of this paper is to assess how emotions are expressed in sharing of information about a controversial topic, immigration, and how the emotional expressions vary by comment type. Method. A sample of 50 threads of conversation from a Finnish online discussion group focusing on issues of immigration was selected for the study. The dataset contains 2,312 messages submitt...

The most of the problems raised by the authors of the comment [1] about Ref. [2] are based on claims which have not been written in [2], for instance almost all the introduction and the point (1) in [1] are based on such non– existent claims. Instead in Ref. [2] we avoid to make claims not based on well–founded results. For instance in the abstract we write " ... This result indicates how the m...

There are some points in the reply of Horton et al. [3] to my comment [2] on their paper [1] which I cannot let stand without a response. I provide here some clarification of how much I proved about the set of points where their law of motion is ill-defined. In a recent article in J. Phys. A [1], Horton et al. present what they claim is a Bohm-type law of motion for point particles, based on a ...

Minor comment 2. See the comment above concerning the term ‘subcortical atrophy’

Anomalous U(1) gauge symmetries can appear both in heterotic and type I string theories. In the heterotic case we find a single anomalous U(1), while in open string theories several such symmetries can appear. Nonetheless, there is a conjectured duality symmetry that might connect these two theories. We review the properties of anomalous gauge symmetries in various string theories as well as th...

The correspondence between domain-wall and cosmological solutions of gravity coupled to scalar fields is explained. Any domain wall solution that admits a Killing spinor is shown to correspond to a cosmology that admits a pseudo-Killing spinor: whereas the Killing spinor obeys a Dirac-type equation with hermitian ‘mass’-matrix, the corresponding pseudo-Killing spinor obeys a Dirac-type equation...

FTA proposed to add selections for ‘‘type of fire’’ to the non-rail fire event detail screens to provide better nationallevel information for vehicle fire prevention and mitigation. Comment. FTA received two comments to the proposed revision. Commenters indicated that ‘‘type of fire’’ was often difficult to ascertain and could only be identified after a lengthy investigation. FTA Response. The ...

In the first part of this article, we find fractional D3-branes supergravity solutions on orientifolded C/Z2 orbifolds of type IIB string theory. The one-loop corrected gauge couplings for the symplectic or orthogonal groups living on the D-branes are reproduced on the world-volume of probes. In the second part of the paper, we construct a D3-brane solution on the two-centers Taub-NUT manifold ...

We would like to wholeheartedly congratulate Professors Städler, Bühlmann and van de Geer for an interesting and important paper on developing the L1 regularization theory and methodology in finite mixture regression (FMR) models. An innovated reparametrization scheme is introduced to ensure equivariance under affine transformations and enhance the performance. Some nonasymptotic oracle inequal...
