Theorem 1.1 (Hrushovski’s Theorem 3.5). Let G be a definable group, X a definable subset, and G̃ be the ∨-definable group generated by X. Suppose all this data is defined over a model M . Suppose μ is an M-invariant translation-invariant ideal on subsets of G̃. Let q be a wide type over M , contained in G̃. Identify q with its ∧-definable set of realizations. Suppose (F) there exist two realizatio...

As these authors observe, the sentences in (1) and (2) are similar in both form and meaning. The truncated clefts in (1) look like the clefts in (2) minus the cleft clause, and in the right contexts, each of the sentences in (1) can be used with the meaning of the corresponding sentence in (2). Following a question like Who went to Hamburg?, (1b) can be used to convey what (2b) conveys, and fol...

The interpretation of adjective-noun pairs plays a crucial role in tasks such as recognizing textual entailment. Formal semantics often places adjectives into a taxonomy which should dictate adjectives’ entailment behavior when placed in adjective-noun compounds. However, we show experimentally that the behavior of subsective adjectives (e.g. red) versus non-subsective adjectives (e.g. fake) is...

We discuss new research directions in the field of behavioral industrial organization that we find promising: identification of new unobservables in equilibrium models, strengthening links with abstract choice theory, and integrating behavioral IO models in larger models of the economy.

Mycoplasma gallisepticum is the most important and infectious Mycoplasmosis. It is caused lots of economic losses for poultry's industry of Iran. The target of this study is comparison of culture and nested PCR techniques to detect Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection of chicken’s from industrial farms in Kerman province of Iran. 88 isolates received from industrial far...
