My objective in this paper i s to provide a contrastive analysis of partitives in English and Italian. The differences between these two languages appear to be representat ive of the di fferences prevail ing throughout the Romance and Germanic families and thus i t is hoped that the analysis to be offered wil l be of more general appl icabil i ty . I will couch my proposal within an approach to...

Numerical optimization is used to construct new orthonormal compactly supported wavelets with Sobolev regularity exponent as high as possible among those mother wavelets with a fixed support length and a fixed number of vanishing moments. The increased regularity is obtained by optimizing the locations of the roots the scaling filter has on the interval (π/2, π). The results improve those obtai...

Results of the latest leprosy vaccine trial were reported in the 6 July 1 996 Lancetl. This 'Karonga Prevention Trial' was unusual in several respects: because it combined two diseases (leprosy and tuberculosis), because it evaluated two vaccine comparisons (two versus one BeG, and BeG plus killed Mycobacterium leprae versus BeG alone), and because of its size ( 1 20,000 individuals randomized,...

In this paper we study scheduling problems of multiclass customers on identical parallel processors. A new type of arrival process, called a Markov Decision Arrival Process, is introduced. This arrival process can be controlled and allows for an indirect dependence on the numbers of customers in the queues. As a special case we show the optimality of LEPT and the μc-rule in the last node of a c...

The signaling capacity of endogenous cannabinoids ("endocannabinoids") is tightly regulated by degradative enzymes. This Perspective highlights a research article in this issue (p. 996) in which the authors show that genetic disruption of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), the principal degradative enzyme for the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), causes marked elevations in 2-AG level...
