I argue that interpersonal understanding is seldom, if ever, a matter of two people assigning intentional states to each other but emerges out of a context of interaction between th...

Let r 3 (n) be the number of representations of a positive integer n as a sum of three squares of integers. We give two distinct proofs of a conjecture of Wagon concerning the asymptotic value of the mean square of r 3 (n).

We discuss the role of folk dualism in perpetuating such a confusion, and draw some ...

Abstract The dynamic model of fast freight wagon is established to study the effect key parameters on performance. In order reduce wheel-rail interactions, such as primary suspension stiffness, arm joint and stiffness anti-yaw damper are optimized. results indicate that above have an influence wagon’s Compared with simulation original parameters, vertical force reduced by 10%, lateral 42% 38% r...
