I shall refer to the reading in (1b) as the ‘bound reading’ of sentence (1), and to the reading in (1a) as the ‘strict reading’ of (1). The availability of the bound reading in (1) and sentences akin to it has garnered a healthy amount of attention in recent years (Heim 1991, Kratzer 1998, Heim 2002, Rullmann 2003, Schlenker 2003, von Stechow 2003, Kratzer 2005, Schlenker 2005). The prima facie...

Introduction The development of attachment measures began with the assessment of infant behaviour, in the Strange Situation Paradigm. This procedure and the establishment of its validity led to the ‘move to the level of representations’ (Main, Kaplan, & Cassidy, 1985), in the assessment of attachment patterns later in development. The greatest achievement here was the Adult Attachment Interview...

One major goal in clinical applications of time-to-event data is the estimation of survival with censored data. The usual nonparametric estimator of the survival function is the time-honored Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimator. Though this estimator has been implemented in several R packages, the development of the condSURV R package has been motivated by recent contributions that allow the es...

In this paper, confirming a conjecture of Kaplan et al., we prove that every abelian group G, which is of odd order or contains exactly three involutions, has the zerosum-partition property. As a corollary, every tree with |G| vertices and at most one vertex of degree 2 is G-anti-magic.

The purpose of this paper is to review and discuss public performance management in general and performance appraisal and pay for performance specifically. Performance is a topic that is a popular catch-cry and performance management has become a new organizational ideology. Under the global economic crisis, almost every public and private organization is struggling with a performance challenge...

We test perturbatively a recent scheme for implementing chiral fermions on the lattice, proposed by Kaplan and modified by Narayanan and Neuberger, using as our testing ground the chiral Schwinger model. The scheme is found to reproduce the desired form of the effective action, whose real part is gauge invariant and whose imaginary part gives the correct anomaly in the continuum limit, once tec...
