Pure-Tone Thresholds, Speech Understanding, and Their Correlates in Samples of Men of Different Ages1

1986

Pure-tone thresholds and speech understanding were studied in three samples of men of different ages (31-35, 51-55 and 71-75 years). The air-conducted pure-tone thresholds were measured at 125-8,000 Hz and speech understanding by the help of interrupted and masked speech tests. The audiological measures were related to measures of other sensory functions, psychomotor speed, cognitive functions, psychic well-being, occupational and educational background and health. The results indicated a clear decrement in all audiological measures when proceeding from younger to older age groups. The results of the speech-understanding tests correlated significantly with the pure-tone thresholds both at 4…

Istigazione punibile e libertà di parola. Riflessioni in margine alla sentenza De Luca

2016

Il testo prende spunto dalla decisione del Tribunale di Torino, che ha riguardato il noto scrittore Erri De Luca, per chiarire e mettere a punto alcuni profili della teoria dell’istigazione a delinquere e i rapporti di questa con la libertà d’espressione. By commenting on the decision given by the Tribunal of Turin in the case of the renowned writer Erri De Luca, the paper clarifies some controversial aspects of the criminalization of the conduct of public encouragement to crime, as well as its relationships with the right to free speech.

Virtual and arrow Temperley–Lieb algebras, Markov traces, and virtual link invariants

2021

Let [Formula: see text] be the algebra of Laurent polynomials in the variable [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be the algebra of Laurent polynomials in the variable [Formula: see text] and standard polynomials in the variables [Formula: see text] For [Formula: see text] we denote by [Formula: see text] the virtual braid group on [Formula: see text] strands. We define two towers of algebras [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in terms of diagrams. For each [Formula: see text] we determine presentations for both, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We determine sequences of homomorphisms [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we determine Markov traces […

Positive linear maps on normal matrices

2018

For a positive linear map [Formula: see text] and a normal matrix [Formula: see text], we show that [Formula: see text] is bounded by some simple linear combinations in the unitary orbit of [Formula: see text]. Several elegant sharp inequalities are derived, for instance for the Schur product of two normal matrices [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for some unitary [Formula: see text], where the constant [Formula: see text] is optimal.

𝔸1-contractibility of affine modifications

2019

We introduce Koras–Russell fiber bundles over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero. After a single suspension, this exhibits an infinite family of smooth affine [Formula: see text]-contractible [Formula: see text]-folds. Moreover, we give examples of stably [Formula: see text]-contractible smooth affine [Formula: see text]-folds containing a Brieskorn–Pham surface, and a family of smooth affine [Formula: see text]-folds with a higher-dimensional [Formula: see text]-contractible total space.

Double points in families of map germs from ℝ2 to ℝ3

2020

We show that a 1-parameter family of real analytic map germs [Formula: see text] with isolated instability is topologically trivial if it is excellent and the family of double point curves [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] is topologically trivial. In particular, we deduce that [Formula: see text] is topologically trivial when the Milnor number [Formula: see text] is constant.

Lattice of closure endomorphisms of a Hilbert algebra

2019

A closure endomorphism of a Hilbert algebra [Formula: see text] is a mapping that is simultaneously an endomorphism of and a closure operator on [Formula: see text]. It is known that the set [Formula: see text] of all closure endomorphisms of [Formula: see text] is a distributive lattice where the meet of two elements is defined pointwise and their join is given by their composition. This lattice is shown in the paper to be isomorphic to the lattice of certain filters of [Formula: see text], anti-isomorphic to the lattice of certain closure retracts of [Formula: see text], and compactly generated. The set of compact elements of [Formula: see text] coincides with the adjoint semilattice of …

Stability conditions and related filtrations for $(G,h)$-constellations

2017

Given an infinite reductive algebraic group $G$, we consider $G$-equivariant coherent sheaves with prescribed multiplicities, called $(G,h)$-constellations, for which two stability notions arise. The first one is analogous to the $\theta$-stability defined for quiver representations by King and for $G$-constellations by Craw and Ishii, but depending on infinitely many parameters. The second one comes from Geometric Invariant Theory in the construction of a moduli space for $(G,h)$-constellations, and depends on some finite subset $D$ of the isomorphy classes of irreducible representations of $G$. We show that these two stability notions do not coincide, answering negatively a question raise…

Words with the Maximum Number of Abelian Squares

2015

An abelian square is the concatenation of two words that are anagrams of one another. A word of length n can contain \(\varTheta (n^2)\) distinct factors that are abelian squares. We study infinite words such that the number of abelian square factors of length n grows quadratically with n.
