HOW BIG A ROLE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD play in the economy is always a central issue in political debates. But measuring the size of government is not simple. People often use shorthand measures, such as the ratio of spending to gross domestic product (GDP) or of tax revenues to GDP. But those measures leave out important aspects of government action. For example, they do not capture the ways gov...

for i = 1, · · · , N . Note that the sum over i is taken inside the parenthes before taking the square, which is not very clear in the way Peskin–Schroeder writes the Lagrangian density. I’ve put the subscript g0 to indicate that it is the bare coupling. This model describes massless spin 1/2 fermions in one spatial dimension with an attractive short-range potential. What the model does is that...

Maurice Gross (1934-2001) was both a great linguist and a pioneer in natural language processing. This article is written in homage to his memory. Maurice Gross is remembered as a vital man surrounded by a lively group, constituted by his laboratory, the LADL, and by his international network, RELEX. He and his group always resolutely steered away from any kind of abstemiousness or abstinence. ...

TMSG (1609). experiment laid in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with traits 9 tr...

We begin with the same setup as before: Let x be a Heegner point on X0(N), let c be the divisor (x)− (∞), and let d be the divisor (x)− (0). We need to compute the Néron height pairing 〈c, Tmc〉 = 〈c, Tmd〉. We have seen that this global height pairing decomposes into a sum of local height pairings. Andrew computed the local height pairings at the archimedean places two weeks ago; our goal will b...

A novel design for a simple rectangular ring with open-ended monopole antenna wireless local area network (WLAN) applications is proposed in this article. The proposed antenna consists of an open-ended rectangular ring, an inverted L-strip, and a rectangular slit in the ground plane, and is fed by a 50 Ω microstrip feed-line. Prototypes of the proposed antenna were designed, fabricated, and tes...
