Italian negation displays a well-known contrast between preverbal and post-verbal n-words: while the preverbal adverb non does not co-occur with preverbal n-words with single negation reading (SN), it is obligatory with post-verbal ones. The two negations co-occur in (1c) with a double negation reading (DN), where non is (preferably) stressed. (1)a. Nessuno viene / *Nessuno non viene (Nobody is...

A disjoint system of type (∀,∃, k, n) is a collection C = {A1, . . . ,Am} of pairwise disjoint families of k-subsets of an n-element set satisfying the following condition. For every ordered pair Ai and Aj of distinct members of C and for every A ∈ Ai there exists a B ∈ Aj that does not intersect A. Let Dn(∀,∃, k) denote the maximum possible cardinality of a disjoint system of type (∀,∃, k, n)....

We study the dynamics of M-theory on isolated non-toric Calabi-Yau threefold singularities type $(A_j,A_l)$ and $(A_k,D_n)$, engineering five-dimensional rank-zero SCFTs. Our approach consists in mapping these backgrounds to IIA string theory with D6 branes at angles O6$^{-}$ planes, computing open modes located brane intersections. This permits us characterize Higgs Branches theories as algebr...

Three hundred sixty-six million people worldwide will be living with diabetes mellitus (DM) by 2030 ([1, 2]; http://www.idf.org/ global-diabetes-plan-2011-2021). Prospectively, 75–150 million of these patients will develop a diabetic nephropathy (DN) or a non-diabetic renal disease (NDRD), either isolated or superimposed on DN [3, 4]. To date, the differential diagnosis between ND and NDRD rema...

We consider an SU(2)L × SU(2)R × U(1)B−L × SU(3) L H gauge model with natural flavour conservation in the Higgs sector, in which CP-violation occurs due to the horizontal interactions only. We calculate the CP-violating observables ǫ and ǫ′ of the neutral kaon sector and dn, the electric dipole moment of the neutron. The regions of the parameter space which yield a value of ǫ that is in agreeme...
