A new class of rings, the class of weakly left localizable rings, is introduced. A ring R is called weakly left localizable if each non-nilpotent element of R is invertible in some left localization SR of the ring R. Explicit criteria are given for a ring to be a weakly left localizable ring provided the ring has only finitely many maximal left denominator sets (eg, this is the case if a ring h...

We define the ε∞-product of a Banach space G by a quotient bornological space E | F that we denote by Gε∞(E | F ), and we prove that G is an L∞-space if and only if the quotient bornological spaces Gε∞(E | F ) and (GεE) | (GεF ) are isomorphic. Also, we show that the functor .ε∞. : Ban× qBan −→ qBan is left exact. Finally, we define the ε∞-product of a b-space by a quotient bornological space a...

Many different deletion operations are investigated applied to languages accepted by one-way and twoway deterministic reversal-bounded multicounter machines, deterministic pushdown automata, and finite automata. Operations studied include the prefix, suffix, infix and outfix operations, as well as left and right quotient with languages from different families. It is often expected that language...

We report the case of a 31-year-old man who had mild traumatic brain injury as a result of an accident at the age of 24 years. Seven years after the trauma, at the age of 31 years, he had a lower verbal intelligence quotient than performance intelligence quotient by the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Revised, and frontal lobe dysfunction, for example, difficulty in maintaining or changing ...

Vocal fold vibratory asymmetry is often associated with inefficient sound production through its impact on source spectral tilt. This association is investigated in both a computational voice production model and a group of 47 human subjects. The model provides indirect control over the degree of left-right phase asymmetry within a nonlinear source-filter framework, and high-speed videoendoscop...

The two-sided Rayleigh quotient iteration proposed by Ostrowski computes a pair of corresponding left-right eigenvectors of a matrix C. We propose a Grassmannian version of this iteration, i.e., its iterates are pairs of p-dimensional subspaces instead of one-dimensional subspaces in the classical case. The new iteration generically converges locally cubically to the pairs of left-right p-dimen...

The quotient complexity, also known as state complexity, of a regular language is the number of distinct left quotients of the language. The quotient complexity of an operation is the maximal quotient complexity of the language resulting from the operation, as a function of the quotient complexities of the operands. The class of star-free languages is the smallest class containing the finite la...
