Empirical research on the everyday life experiences of adolescents reared by lesbian mothers is limited. The current study gathered self-report descriptive data from 78 adolescents enrolled in the largest, longest-running, prospective longitudinal study of planned lesbian families, with a 93% retention rate to date. Results revealed that the 17-year-old adolescents were academically successful ...

In the 1920s, logical positivists were skeptical of the notion of truth. For one thing, the liar's paradox seemed to show that truth is inconsistent. Other sources of skepticism were, as Soames [26] notes, "the frequent use of truth in metaphysical discussions, the tendency to confuse truth with epistemological notions like certainty and confirmation, and the inability to see how acceptance of ...

Comparisons between chimpanzees and humans have led to the hypothesis that only humans voluntarily share their own food with others. However, it is hard to draw conclusions because the food-sharing preferences of our more tolerant relative, the bonobo (Pan paniscus), have never been studied experimentally. We gave unrelated bonobos the choice of either monopolizing food or actively sharing: we ...

Let J∗(v) be the set of all integers k such that there is a pair of Latin squares L and L′ with their own orthogonal mates on the same v-set, and with L and L′ having k cells in common. In this article we completely determine the set J∗(v) for integers v ≥ 24 and v = 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9. For v = 7 and 10 ≤ v ≤ 23, there are only a few cases left undecided for the set J∗(v).
