Brody’s claim that punctuation as an area of interest to cultural studies has been relatively understudied, and the implication that it has certainly been poorly understood, the idea of punctuation remains a central theme in the popular culture wars of contemporary times. Before a page has passed DeVere Brody offers us a bondage pun on the ubiquitous Lynne Truss. Truss ’ didactic screed on punctuation Eat, Shoots & Leaves (2003) implicitly links the work and responsibilities of punctuation to a sense of danger, impending disaster and violence. This undertone tempts with an excitement

I begin this essay by reflecting on my early paper (Nelson, 1859), and Ken’s (Arrow, 1962), as period pieces. These papers certainly have been influential in shaping the discussion of science and technology policy over the last forty years, at least among economists, but at the time they were

qualitative methodologists to spawn new terms that either substituted for the scientific language of earlier periods or added new ideas to them. More recently, with postmodernist perspectives in fashion, the whole issue of whether we ought to be trying to generate criteria for judging the quality of research

is being sent from a few regions of IP address space, and that spammers appear to be using transient “bots ” that send only a few pieces of email over very short periods of time. Finally, a small, yet non-negligible, amount of spam is received from IP addresses that correspond to short-lived BGP routes

psychologists and economists, as well as field research by econometric studies. The pieces of evidence presented refer to a wide variety of areas of the economy and society and have been collected for many different countries and periods of time. Crowding effects thus are an empirically relevant phenomenon

and helium that appeared in the aftermath of their discovery are examined in light of the various empirical and theoretical considerations that supported and contradicted them. "The piece that would not fit" refers not only to argon, the element that at first seemed not to fit into the periodic

1. Letters that meet one or more of the nonmachinable characteristics in DMM 101.1.2 are subject to the $0.22 nonmachinable surcharge. 2. Large envelope-sized pieces that are rigid, nonrectangular, or not uniformly thick pay parcel prices. 3. For keys and identification devices, add $0.85. If more

transformed us through his friendship and his love of mathematics. We will deal only with the most elementary of geometric questions; how to represent pieces of space of various dimensions, in their relation to one another. It’s a simple story, but one that extends over a period of some 160 years. We’ll start

INTRODUCTION How can we understand the common denominator of Pavlov's salivating dogs, an ale named Hobgoblin, a market in southern France, and the bargaining for lock access on the Mississippi River? Pavlov's dogs were presented with pieces of delicious sausage that undoubtedly made them salivate

-state solution for a given periodic disturbance. This property allows to uniquely assess the performance of the controller in terms of disturbance attenuation. Both state-feedback and output-feedback variants of the control design are presented. The effectiveness of the strategy is shown by application to a
