When attention is oriented to a peripheral visual event, observers respond faster to stimuli presented at a cued location than at an uncued location. Following initial reaction time facilitation responses are slower to stimuli subsequently displayed at the cued location, an effect known as inhibition of return (IOR). Both facilitatory and inhibitory effects have been extensively investigated in...

Focusing on the working relationship between Marketing Managers and Sales Managers, our study examines two dimensions of interpersonal conflict: dysfunctional conflict and functional conflict. Drawing on relevant theory, we include three communication variables – frequency, bidirectionality, and quality – as antecedents in our structural model. Using these explanatory variables we predict the t...

A Banach space E is c0-saturated if every closed infinite dimensional subspace of E contains an isomorph of c0. A c0-saturated Banach space with an unconditional basis which has a quotient space isomorphic to l2 is constructed. A Banach space E is c0-saturated if every closed infinite dimensional subspace of E contains an isomorph of c0. In [2] and [3], it was asked whether all quotient spaces ...

Individual compounds and solid solutions are obtained under hydrothermal conditions in the Bi(2)O(3)-SiO(2)-MnO(2) system in the form of faceted crystals and epitaxial films on the Bi(24)Si(2)O(40) substrate. The crystals have the shape of a cube (for the molar ratio of the starting components Na(2)SiO(3)·9H(2)O:Mn(NO(3))(2)·6H(2)O > 1), a tetrahedron (for Na(2)SiO(3)·9H(2)O:Mn(NO(3))(2)·6H(2)O...

Abstract The Laplace equation in three-dimensional Euclidean space is -separable bi-cyclide coordinates leading to harmonic functions expressed terms of Lamé–Wangerin called internal and external harmonics. An expansion for a fundamental solution Laplace’s products harmonics derived. In limiting cases this reduces known expansions bi-spherical prolate spheroidal coord...

We present the first direct comparison of codes based on two different numerical methods for constructing rapidly rotating relativistic stars. A code based on the Komatsu-Eriguchi-Hachisu (KEH) method (Komatsu et al. 1989), written by Stergioulas, is compared to the Butterworth-Ipser code (BI), as modified by Friedman, Ipser and Parker. We compare models obtained by each method and evaluate the...
