The present study examines the uses of the reflexive marker in Lusaamia, a Bantu language of Kenya. In addition to being a true reflexive, the reflexive verbal prefix is also used in indirect reflexive constructions, as a middle voice / stative marker, and also to indicate when an action is being done for no particular purpose (when used in conjunction with a causative marker). I show that unac...

Answering an old problem in nonlinear theory, we show that c0 cannot be coarsely or uniformly embedded into a reflexive Banach space, but that any stable metric space can be coarsely and uniformly embedded into a reflexive space. We also show that certain quasi-reflexive spaces (such as the James space) also cannot be coarsely embedded into a reflexive space and that the unit ball of these spac...

Reflexive methodology was used to identify music collectors’ needs, that informed the development of conceptual prototypes which create moments of delightful distraction in their everyday lives. ARON: music lives in the cloud is a music listening and sharing system that enables ambient, non-task oriented experiences through networked biomorphic light forms equipped with a presence interface. AR...

Prior studies on online sentence processing have shown that the parser can resolve non-local dependencies rapidly and accurately. This study investigates the interaction between the processing of two such non-local dependencies: wh-filler-gap dependencies (WhFGD) and reflexive-antecedent dependencies. We show that reflexive-antecedent dependency resolution is sensitive to the presence of a WhFG...

We prove that the dual or any quotient of a separable reflexive Banach space with the unconditional tree property has the unconditional tree property. This is used to prove that a separable reflexive Banach space with the unconditional tree property embeds into a reflexive Banach space with an unconditional basis. This solves several long standing open problems. In particular, it yields that a ...

An iterative algorithm is constructed to solve the generalized coupled Sylvester matrix equations AXB − CYD,EXF − GYH M,N , which includes Sylvester and Lyapunov matrix equations as special cases, over generalized reflexive matrices X and Y . When the matrix equations are consistent, for any initial generalized reflexive matrix pair X1, Y1 , the generalized reflexive solutions can be obtained b...

The general coupled matrix equations (including the generalized coupled Sylvester matrix equations as special cases) have numerous applications in control and system theory. In this paper, an iterative algorithm is constructed to solve the general coupled matrix equations over reflexive matrix solution. When the general coupled matrix equations are consistent over reflexive matrices, the reflex...

A novel two-step paradigm was used to investigate the parallel programming of consecutive, stimulus-elicited ('reflexive') and endogenous ('voluntary') saccades. The mean latency of voluntary saccades, made following the first reflexive saccades in two-step conditions, was significantly reduced compared to that of voluntary saccades made in the single-step control trials. The latency of the fir...

This study addresses the matter of reflexive control of the emotional states by means of Reflexive Game Theory (RGT). It is shown how to build a bridge between RGT and emotions. For this purpose the Pleasure-Arousal-Dominance (PAD) model is adopted. The major advantages of RGT are its ability to predict human behavior and unfold the entire spectra of reflexion in the human mind. On the other ha...

We consider when the quaternion matrix equation AXB+CXD=E has a reflexive (or anti-reflexive) solution with respect to given generalized reflection matrix. adopt real representation method derive solutions it is solvable. Moreover, we obtain explicit expressions of least-squares solutions.
