English-speaking children are known to be delayed in their comprehension of passive sentences (Slobin, 1966; Turner & Rommetveit, 1967; Bever, 1970; Maratsos & Ambramovitch, 1975; Maratsos, Fox, Becker, & Chalkley, 1985; Gordon & Chafetz, 1990; Fox & Grodzinsky, 1998; Hirsch & Wexler, 2004a). Additionally, it has been noted that children’s level of passive comprehension is in part determined by...

We give a short proof of asymptotic completeness and global existence for the cubic Nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in one dimension. Our approach to dealing with the long range behavior of the asymptotic solution is by reducing it, in hyperbolic coordinates to the study of an ODE. Similar arguments extend to higher dimensions and other long range type nonlinear problems.

The object of this paper is to propose and prove a new generalization of the Andrews-Gordon Identities, extending a recent result of Garrett, Ismail and Stanton. We also give a combinatorial discussion of the finite form of their result which appeared in the work of Andrews, Knopfmacher, and Paule.

The relativistic Klein-Gordon system is studied as an illustration of Quantum Mechanics using non-Hermitian operators as observables. A version of the model is considered containing a generic coordinateand energy-dependent phenomenological mass-term m(E, x). We show how similar systems may be assigned a pair of the linear, energy-independent leftand right-acting Hamiltonians with quasi-Hermitic...

This paper refracts Gordon Tullock’s The Social Dilemma onto a framework of spontaneous order theorizing, and finds the refraction to work well. The Social Dilemma reveals Gordon Tullock to be a theorist whose conceptualizations are anchored in a societal setting represented better by networks than by fields, and where societal outcomes emerge out of local networked interaction. The theoretical...

This research integrates and elaborates the basic premises of Blumer’s group position theory of prejudice. It does so in order to make explicit, more fully integrated, and empirically pliable the theoretical foundations of a sociological analysis of the nature of racial prejudice. In so doing, the research identifies important areas of agreement between Gordon Allport’s approach to prejudice an...

1. Introduction India has become one of the fastest growing economies in the world over the last two decades, arguably aided in this performance by economic reforms. One of the striking aspects of India's recent growth has been the dynamism of the service sector, particularly information technology (IT) and IT enabled services, while, in contrast, manufacturing has been less robust. The contrib...

We study the well-posedness of the Dirac-Klein-Gordon system in one space dimension with initial data that are analytic in a strip around the real axis. It is proved that for short times t the radius of analyticity σ(t) of the solutions remains constant while for |t| → ∞ we obtain a lower bound σ(t) ≥ c/|t|5+ in the case of positive Klein-Gordon mass and σ(t) ≥ c/|t|8+ in the massless case.
