james morier’s the adventures of hajji baba of ispahan is among works in which traces of the new wave of colonialism at the beginning of the 19th century are clearly evident, a colonialism which, fortified by the newly-established discourse of orientalism, employed literary texts as building blocks to expand and buttress authority and dominance of the west over the east. this paper attempts to ...

A consistent quantization with a clear notion of time and evolution is given for the anisotropic Kantowski–Sachs cosmological model. It is shown that a suitable coordinate choice allows to obtain a solution of the Wheeler–DeWitt equation in the form of definite energy states, and that the results can be associated to two disjoint equivalent theories, one for each sheet of the constraint surface.

Let Hk(W, q) be the Iwahori–Hecke algebra associated with a finite Weyl group W , where k is a field and 0 6= q ∈ k. Assume that the characteristic of k is not “bad” for W and let e be the smallest i > 2 such that 1+q+q+· · ·+q = 0. We show that the number of simple Hk(H, q)-modules is “generic”, i.e., it only depends on e. The proof uses some computations in the CHEVIE package of GAP and known...

The eminent surgeon and author Morrice McCrae has put together an excellent and wide-ranging biography of Sir James Young Simpson (1811-1870), the Scottish doctor who discovered the anaesthetic properties of chloroform and successfully introduced it for general medical use.

The issue of adjuncts has long been a neglected field of linguistic study whether it be syntactic or semantic. It is only in Pustejovsky (1995) that we find a brief mention of adjuncts. In addition to what the author calls true arguments, default arguments, and shadow arguments, he sets up a class of true adjuncts citing the following sentence , Mary drove down to New York on Tuesday. We will t...

I agree that by now integration has attained a level above where it was before World War I. But I would not quite agree that this view is “iconoclastic.” It is, rather, the conventional wisdom among all non-economists, and perhaps among most economists as well. But it is true that it is a challenge to some things written by Sachs and Warner, Rodrik and Krugman and propounded in this room; so pe...
