There are plenty of reasons for being pessimistic about its effects in the short run, in a society where the lust for power, profit, status and material possessions are dominant motives, and where those...

A nonlinear recursive filter for the suppression of impulsive noises is proposed. This filter selects from each window a sample closest in value to the most recent output, and is thus named the lust output reference (LOR) filter. A relationship between the LOR and recursive median filters is derived, and some statistical properties are studied through computer simulations. The results indicate ...

In this paper, I examine the acquisition data of a Mandarin-speaking child Bao-Bao (2;2.7) to study his acquisition of Mandarin classifiers, which are obligatory when a demonstrative or a numeral occurs. I argue that despite the poor input from the caregiver, the child is aware of the classifier projection and the selectional syntactic relation within a Mandarin DP from an early age, which is c...

The aim of this article is to prove the following theorem. Theorem: Let p be in (1,∞), Hn,m a group of Heisenberg type, R the vector of the Riesz transforms on Hn,m. There exists a constant Cp independent of n and m such that for every f ∈ L (Hn,m) C p e ‖f‖Lp(Hn,m) ≤ ‖|Rf |‖Lp(Hn,m) ≤ Cpe‖f‖Lp(Hn,m). It has been proved by F. Lust-Piquard that the operator norm of R does not depend on n (see [L...
