HOW BIG A ROLE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD play in the economy is always a central issue in political debates. But measuring the size of government is not simple. People often use shorthand measures, such as the ratio of spending to gross domestic product (GDP) or of tax revenues to GDP. But those measures leave out important aspects of government action. For example, they do not capture the ways gov...

for i = 1, · · · , N . Note that the sum over i is taken inside the parenthes before taking the square, which is not very clear in the way Peskin–Schroeder writes the Lagrangian density. I’ve put the subscript g0 to indicate that it is the bare coupling. This model describes massless spin 1/2 fermions in one spatial dimension with an attractive short-range potential. What the model does is that...

Maurice Gross (1934-2001) was both a great linguist and a pioneer in natural language processing. This article is written in homage to his memory. Maurice Gross is remembered as a vital man surrounded by a lively group, constituted by his laboratory, the LADL, and by his international network, RELEX. He and his group always resolutely steered away from any kind of abstemiousness or abstinence. ...

OBJECTIVE Given the high prevalence of suboptimal nutrition and low activity levels in children, we systematically reviewed the literature on the relationship between physical activity and dietary patterns and cognitive development in early childhood (six months to five years). METHODS In February 2016, we conducted two different searches of MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and ERIC. Each search included e...

Casemix-based funding was introduced into the Victorian health system without an assessment of the annual variation in inpatient activity. Before undertaking such a funding reform, it would be appropriate to determine the level of annual variation in inpatient activity for individual hospitals that could be attributable to chance or random variation. If the annual random variation is not accoun...

We begin with the same setup as before: Let x be a Heegner point on X0(N), let c be the divisor (x)− (∞), and let d be the divisor (x)− (0). We need to compute the Néron height pairing 〈c, Tmc〉 = 〈c, Tmd〉. We have seen that this global height pairing decomposes into a sum of local height pairings. Andrew computed the local height pairings at the archimedean places two weeks ago; our goal will b...

Since creatine phosphokinase (CPK) is found predominantly in myocardial and skeletal muscle cells, in contrast to cells participating in the inflammatory response, it was considered likely that measurement of activity of this enzyme in the heart would provide a sensitive and relatively specific index of the extent of ischemic injury following acute coronary artery occlusion. Accordingly, CPK ac...
