System-initiated digressive proposals may be used to introduce new and unexpected information into automated telephone services. These digressions may be viewed as particularly pronounced forms of unsolicited interruptions as they contain information not directly related to the caller’s intended activity. In human–human conversation, interruptions are considered to be speech acts which intrinsi...

This is a most worth-while volume, that should be read by social workers in particular and humanitarians in general. Within small bulk, it lays bare, without offence to those who are labouring now in this field, the great need of the inhabitants of Common Lodging Houses, to be understood in the first place, and to be given the help they so sorely need, in the second. The survey is well planned,...

Like other macroeconomic variables, residential investment has become much less volatile since the mid-1980s (recent experience notwithstanding.) This paper explores the role of structural change in this decline. Since the the early 1980s there have been many changes in the underlying structure of the economy, including those in the mortgage market which have made it easier to acquire a home. W...

In 1981, Paris and Wilkie [28] indicated it was an open question whether IΣ0 would satisfy the Second Incompleteness Theorem for Herbrand deduction. We will show that some specially formulated axiomizations for IΣ0 can evade the Herbrandized version of the Second Incompleteness Theorem.

A variety of transparency rules and government regulations as well as risk management policies in Bulgaria set the basis for the establishment of the young Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE) the way it exists today. Similar to other Eastern European countries, Bulgaria started its mass privatization process and re-established the Bulgarian Stock Exchange Market in 1995. By the end of 1999 the Bulga...

The aim of this paper is to examine the concentration of wealth among the group of top wealth holders, defined as those with wealth in excess of a high cut off. The paper begins by considering the definition of this cut off, analogous to the definition of a poverty line at the other end of the distribution. It then considers what can be learned about the proportion classified as ‘rich’ and abou...

We begin the development of a theory of Banach spaces in the definable setting of o-minimal structures. We outline several results which develop the theory of compact embeddings for explicitly given function spaces. One aim is to explain the substantive underpinnings of an important observation used in the proof of the Reparameterization Theorem of Pila and Wilkie in [2]. We place this observat...
