Consider all planar walks, with positive unit steps (1, 0) and (0, 1), from the origin (0, 0) to a given point (a, b). Let L be the line joining the beginning to the end, i.e., the line b x a y = 0. Call the region below L "downtown," and the region above L "uptown," the line L being the border-line between downtown and uptown. Each such walk has a + b 1 points, not counting the endpoints. For ...

Graduate students have been shafted as far as living areas are concerned since the construction of the new campus. Gradually, all else has moved uptown or further downtown to Draper, including graduate-level courses. Yet all of the on-campus graduate housing remains downtown, in Brubacher and Pierce halls.

They seem to feel that this is a...

Human development is a bidirectional, person-context relational process, but scarce evidence is available about the relation between the individual variability across the life-span and the neighborhood ecological assets. Therefore, it is important that research focus not only on personal characteristics but on ecological assets as well. This way this study aims to analyze the association betwee...
