“ I gave the girl my protection, offering in my equivocal way to be her father. But I came too late, after she had ceased to believe in fathers. I wanted to do what was right, I wanted to make reparation: I will not deny this decent impulse, however mixed with more questionable motives: there must always be a place for penance and reparation. Nevertheless, I should never have allowed the gates ...

Suppose that for an arbitrary function $f(x,y)$ of two discrete variables, we have the formal expansions. [f(x,y)=sumlimits_{m,n=0}^{infty }a_{m,n},P_{m}(x)P_{n}(y),] $$‎ ‎x^{m}P_{j}(x)=sumlimits_{n=0}^{2m}a_{m,,n}(j)P_{j+m-n}(x)‎,$$ ‎we find the coefficients $b_{i,j}^{(p,q,ell‎ ,‎,r)}$ in the expansion‎ $$‎ ‎x^{ell }y^{r},nabla _{x}^{p}nabla _{y}^{q},f(x,y)=x^{ell‎ ‎}y^{r}f^{(p,q)}(x,y) =sumli...

It is interesting to investigate other topologies, in particular those which allow us to model the dependencies between cell losses for neighboring nodes. Can we take into account the fact that cells are typically lost in batches? How can information about transmission of previous packets be used to tune the redundancy factor? On the more practical side, much work is left to do on designing the...

let $k$ be a positive integer. a subset $s$ of $v(g)$ in a graph $g$ is a $k$-tuple total dominating set of $g$ if every vertex of $g$ has at least $k$ neighbors in $s$. the $k$-tuple total domination number $gamma _{times k,t}(g)$ of $g$ is the minimum cardinality of a $k$-tuple total dominating set of $g$. if$v(g)=v^{0}={v_{1}^{0},v_{2}^{0},ldots ,v_{n}^{0}}$ and $e(g)=e_{0}$, then for any in...

Recent interest amongst critical human geographers in postcolonial theory has been framed by a concern for the relationship between ‘politics’ and ‘theory’. This paper addresses debates in the field of colonial discourse analysis in order to explore the connections between particular conceptions of language and particular models of politics to which oppositional academics consider themselves re...

Three novel heterobimetallic Re(IV) compounds of formulae [ReBr(4)(μ-ox)M(4,7-Cl(2)phen)(2)]·CH(3)CN·CH(3)NO(2) [M = Co(II) (1) and Ni(II) (2)] and [ReBr(4)(ox)](3)[Co(III)(5,6-dmphen)(3)](2)·CH(3)CN·2CH(3)NO(2)·4H(2)O (3) [ox = oxalate, 4,7-Cl(2)phen = 4,7-dichloro-1,10-phenanthroline and 5,6-dmphen = 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline] have been synthesised and the structures of 1 and 3 determi...

Abstract This article provides a description and an Optimality Theory (OT) analysis of contact-induced changes variation in contemporary Yoruba syllable structure. The claims that major diachronic change has occurred the structure phonology due to its continued contact with English, resulting invention, preservation, hypercorrection clusters codas. I characterize this terms OT constraint re-ran...
