OBJECTIVE: This study utilized an observational coding scheme to identify parenting behavior reflecting psychological control and autonomy granting and examined relations between these parenting dimensions and indices of child and family functioning. DESIGN: A community sample of 90 preadolescents (aged 10.5 to 12 years) and both of their parents engaged in a triadic interaction that was coded...

We establish sufficient and necessary conditions for an n× n Hermitian matrix A to be a multicommutator or a multianticommutator of orthoprojections.

The research described here builds on our previous work by generalizing the univariate models described there to models for multivariate relations. This family, labelled p*, generalizes the Markov random graphs of Frank and Strauss, which were further developed by them and others, building on Besag's ideas on estimation. These models were first used to model random variables embedded in lattice...

Previous studies on trends in the intergenerational transmission of divorce have produced mixed findings, with two studies (McLanahan and Bumpass 1988; Teachman 2002) reporting no trend in divorce transmission and one study (Wolfinger 1999) finding that divorce transmission has weakened substantially. Using a stratified Cox proportional hazard model, we analyze data from the National Survey of ...

Introduction The topicalization of partial verbal projections in German (henceforth: pvp topicalization)

We prove a theorem of Steel that solves the 12th Delfino Problem. We build on the one hand on a lemma of Woodin on universally Baire sets and their projections in certain generic extensions in the presence of strong cardinals; on the other hand we use certain premice to find projective uniformizations of projective sets.

An extension to the theory of consensus values is presented. Consensus values are calculated from averages obtained from different sources of measurement. Each source may have its own variability. For each average a weighting factor is calculated, consisting of contributions from both the within- and the between-source variability. An iteration procedure is used and calculational details are pr...

We consider four dimensional supersymmetric gauge field theories from brane configurations with the matter content given by semi-infinite D4 branes ending on both sides of NS branes. In M theory configuration, we discuss the splitting of the M5 brane into infinite cylindrical M5 branes (which decouple) and transversal M5 brane. The splitting condition appears naturally from the consistency of t...
