Data and central issue. It is by now a well-known fact that that the semantic processing of an utterance usually involves different sources of information which are used in parallel to arrive at a coherent interpretation of this utterance in the given context. Three principle sources must be distinguished: (i) the (linguistic) meaning of the lexical items; (ii) (non-linguistic) world and situat...

Behavior analysts have not been particularly active in the experimental analysis of human sexual behavior. This may be because the complexity of human sexuality suggests that it defies a molecular empirical analysis. Recent developments in the experimental analysis of complex behavior and language, however, have opened the way for a modem behavior-analytic research program into human sexual con...

The scalar-tensor theory is plagued by nagging questions if different conformal frames, in particular the Jordan and Einstein conformal frames, are equivalent to each other. As a closely related question, there are opposing views on which of the two conformal frames is physically acceptable. Reinforcing our previous claims, we offer replies based on a cosmological model of the scalar-tensor the...

The concept of g-frame is a natural extension the frame. This article mainly discusses relationship between some special bounded linear operators and g-frames, characterizes properties g-frames. In addition, according to operator spectrum theory, eigenvalues are introduced into new expression best frame boundary given.

We study the dilaton/axion configuration near D-instantons in type IIB superstring theory. In the field theory limit, the metric near the instantons becomes flat in the string frame as well as in the Einstein frame. In the large N limit, the string coupling constant becomes zero except near the origin. The supersymmetry of this configuration is analyzed. An implication of this result to the IIB...

The aim of this work is to discuss the way in which it is possible the choice between the different theories interpreting the principle of relativity, i.e.: Lorentz-Poincaré’s theory, based on the existence of a privileged reference frame, and special relativity theory, based on the opposite assumption. It is shown that the results of experiments made in an inertial frame are the same for both ...
