It is usually supposed that inflation is of the slow-roll variety, and that the inflaton generates the primordial curvature perturbation. According to the curvaton hypothesis, inflation need not be slow-roll, and if it is the inflaton generates a negligible curvature perturbation. We find that the construction of slow-roll inflation models becomes much easier under this hypothesis. Also, therma...

During the past decade, with the development of information digitalization and internet, digital media increasingly predominate over traditional analog media. However, as one of the concomitant side-effects, it is also becoming easier for some individual or group to copy and transmit digital products without the permission of the owner. The digital watermark is then introduced to solve this pro...

Three experiments (self-paced reading, eyetracking and an ERP study) show that in relative clauses, increasing the distance between the relativized noun and the relative-clause verb makes it more difficult to process the relative-clause verb (the so-called locality effect). This result is consistent with the predictions of several theories (Gibson, 2000; Lewis and Vasishth, 2005), and contradic...

This paper argues that a distributed system should support two communication paradigms: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and group communication. The former captures point-to-point communication; the latter captures one-to-many communication. We demonstrate that group communication is an important paradigm by showing that a fault-tolerant directory service is much easier to implement with groups tha...
