This paper introduces the class of reflected number systems. Members of this class have the adjacency property, i.e. representations for consecutive numbers differ in only one digit and the magnitude of this difference is one. It shows that every number system based on a positional weighting scheme has a reflected analogue. It presents procedures to convert a number system to its reflected anal...

Previous metaphor studies have paid much attention to nominal and predicative metaphors and little attention has been given to adjective metaphors. Although some studies have focused on adjective metaphors, they have only examined how the acceptability of adjective metaphors can be explained by the pairing of adjective modifier’s and head noun’s modalities and little attention has been given to...

Children from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds are often challenged in both domains, relative to peers who are not economically disadvantaged. The efficacy of code-focused instructional programs for at-risk preliterate c...

This paper contains the motivation for the study of critical surfaces in [2]. In that paper, the only justification given for the definition of this new class of surfaces is the strength of the results. However, when viewed as the topological analogue to index 2 minimal surfaces, critical surfaces become quite natural.

Recent studies increasingly support the hypothesis that organelles originating from the mitochondrial endosymbiotc event comprise a family of diverse structures and not only the typical mitochondria, with their characteristic cristate structure functioning as aerobic powerhouses of cells. This large family is regarded today to encompass a broad, almost continuous spectrum of organelles, from th...
