We show that locally connected, simply connected homogeneous continua are not separated by arcs. We ask several questions about homogeneous continua which are inspired by analogous questions in geometric group theory.

We explored the degree to which the duration of acoustic cues contributes to the respective involvement of the two hemispheres in the perception of speech. To this end, we recorded the reaction time needed to identify monaurally presented natural French plosives with varying VOT values. The results show that a right-ear advantage is significant only when the phonetic boundary is close to the re...

Hearing the diagnosis of hemicrania continua can seem as if the medical provider is stating the obvious, because the name in Latin means that half of the head hurts. However, hemicrania continua is a unique type of headache, one that by definition responds to 1 medication, indomethacin. Hemicrania continua is usually referred to by its initials, HC. While HC is not seen as frequently as migrain...

This article is based on the magnitude production representation in Luce's (2004, 2011) global psychophysical theories for subjective intensity of both binary and unary continua. It is shown that the slopes of certain predicted linear relationships for magnitude production and estimation differ when, in the two procedures, the respondent-generated reference signals differ. This contrasts with S...

This paper shows how the classical representation techniques for solution of elasticity problems, based on Green’s functions, can be generalized to second-gradient continua focusing specific case pantographic lattices. As these last are strongly anisotropic, fundamental solutions isotropic involving bi-Helmholtz-type operators not applicable. More specifically we establish analytical linearized...

Introduction. One might judge from the title that I am going to discuss continua. For is not a continuum either aposyndetic or nonaposyndetic? What I intend to do is to consider continua from a certain point of view, and from this point of view continua may be classified in a rough sort of way. This system of classification (and the basic concept upon which it rests) is only in its infancy. Her...

The characterization of chainable continua as inverse limits on [0, 1] has resulted in many papers which have contributed to our knowledge of both inverse limits and chainable continua. Quite simple maps on [0, 1] give rise to quite complicated inverse limits. In this paper we begin an investigation of continua that can be represented by inverse limits of closed subsets of the unit square I = [...
