It is shown that the recently proposed interpretation of the transposed equi-affine theory of gravity as a theory with variable Plank ”constant” is inconsistent with basic solar system gravitational experiments. Recently a new model of gravity involving propagating torsion was proposed by A. Saa [1]-[5]. In this model a special type of Einstein-Cartan geometry is considered in which the usual v...

Regarding the literary historical debates, one of the main concerns of modern historiography is the way of representing the concept of reality within the framework of a coherent narrative, a reality that is only achievable through the process of narrative that is supposed to be constructive and ordering. Therefore, in order to examine this ordering process of narrative in James Joyce's novel, A...

Under certain mode-matching conditions, small-amplitude waves can be trapped by coupling to solitons of nonlinear fields. We present a model for this phenomenon, consisting of a linear equation coupled to the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation. The model has one parameter, a coupling constant κ. For one value of the coupling constant, κ = 1, the linear equation becomes the linearized KdV equation...

james morier’s the adventures of hajji baba of ispahan is among works in which traces of the new wave of colonialism at the beginning of the 19th century are clearly evident, a colonialism which, fortified by the newly-established discourse of orientalism, employed literary texts as building blocks to expand and buttress authority and dominance of the west over the east. this paper attempts to ...

Seven test statistics known to be robust to the combined effects of nonnormality and variance heterogeneity were compared for their sensitivity to detect treatment effects in a one-way completely randomized design containing four groups. The six Welch-James-type heteroscedastic tests adopted either symmetric or asymmetric trimmed means, were transformed for skewness, and used a bootstrap method...

Inderjeet Mani and James Pustejovsky present a documentation of the state of the art with respect to the formal and computational representation of motion concepts expressed in language (mostly English). Starting from the conceptual properties represented in the linguistic repertory of motion, they provide an overview of existing formalisms and annotation approaches, ultimately moving towards a...

The paper discusses shallow semantic annotation of Bulgarian treebank. Our goal is to construct the next layer of linguistic interpretation over the morphological and syntactic layers that have already been encoded in the treebank. The annotation is called shallow because it encodes only the senses for the non-functional words and the relations between the semantic indices connected to them. We...
