Let A be a simple, separable C∗-algebra of stable rank one. We prove that the Cuntz semigroup of C(T, A) is determined by its Murray-von Neumann semigroup of projections and a certain semigroup of lower semicontinuous functions (with values in the Cuntz semigroup of A). This result has two consequences. First, specializing to the case that A is simple, finite, separable and Z-stable, this yield...

Recently, Elliott (1986) has reported data that he claims are inconsistent with my hypothesis that a short-term motor memory system exists for guiding locomotion and other actions in space (Thomson, 1983). In fact, methodological flaws in Elliott's design make such conclusions unjustified and inappropriate. Moreover, insofar as comparisons can be made at all, the results are completely consiste...

Contemporary American society struggles to find solutions to multiple problem behaviors involving crime, delinquency, violence, and substance abuse (Elliott et al. 1989; Hawkins et al. 1992; Reiss et al. 1993; Sampson and Laub 1993). Research evidence indicates that these phenomena are interrelated and that individuals demonstrating one behavioral disorder, such as substance abuse, are at incre...

Adaptationism maintains that natural selection is the principal factor causing evolutionary change. This statement is in need of qualification. Indeed, Peter Godfrey-Smith finds several possible usages of the term adaptationism. Steven Orzack and Elliott Sober argue that for adaptationism to be an interesting research program it has to be given in a reasonably strong form. Such a reasonably str...

Spintronics is an emerging paradigm with the aim to replace conventional electronics by using electron spins as information carriers. Its utility relies on the magnitude of the spin-relaxation, which is dominated by spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Yet, SOC induced spin-relaxation in metals and semiconductors is discussed for the seemingly orthogonal cases when inversion symmetry is retained or broke...

the purpose of this research is to analyze heat waves characteristics in the warm period of the year as a climatic hazard in iran. in this study, the daily maximum temperature is taken at 44 synoptic stations during the period 1981-2010. these temperature values were used to extract the intensity, frequency and duration of heat waves using percentile thresholds of 90, 95, and 98. the results sh...

a complete linear theory in four dimensional space-time is constructed for propagation and coupling of electromagnetic waves in the most general case, i.e. media where all three space directions are in homogeneous and where temporal changes, anisotropy and absorbtion are also included. the only condition is that the properties of the medium should be slowly varying, although it is assumed that ...
