Hedgehog Pillows and Squirrel Plates: Priming Semantic Structure in Children's Comprehension
Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract We report three expression–picture‐matching experiments targeting preschoolers’ semantic processing. We assessed whether 3‐ and 4‐year‐olds’ interpretations of ambiguous novel noun–noun combinations (e.g., hedgehog pillow) were affected by immediate language experience and what role lexical items played in this process.

How generics obscure the logic of conditionals
Mind &Language, EarlyView.This paper discusses counter‐examples to modus ponens and modus tollens involving modals and quantificational adverbs, and presents new counter‐examples with generic conditionals. We argue that the counter‐examples are spurious, and are explained by the domain‐restricting effects of if‐clauses.

Relational Motivation for Conformal Operator Ordering in Quantum Cosmology
, 2009 Operator-ordering in quantum cosmology is a major as-yet unsettled ambiguity with not only formal but also physical consequences. We determine the Lagrangian origin of the conformal invariance that underlies the conformal operator-ordering choice in ...

Robust Inverse Material Design With Physical Guarantees Using the Voigt‐Reuss Net
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.ABSTRACT We apply the Voigt‐Reuss net, a spectrally normalized neural surrogate introduced in [38], for forward and inverse mechanical homogenization with a key guarantee that all predicted effective stiffness tensors satisfy Voigt‐Reuss bounds in the Löwner sense during training, inference, and gradient‐driven optimization.

Recognizing nullhomotopic maps into the classifying space of a Kac-Moody group
, 2015 This paper extends certain characterizations of nullhomotopic maps between p-compact groups to maps with target the p-completed classifying space of a connected Kac-Moody group and source the classifying space of either a p-compact group or a connected ...

New Insights Into Lakota Syntax: The Encoding of Arguments and the Number of Verbal Affixes
Studia Linguistica, Volume 80, Issue 1, April 2026.ABSTRACT This paper examines the morphosyntax of transitive constructions in Lakota, with particular emphasis being placed on the encoding of arguments. The analysis of argument marking through verbal affixes in Lakota transitive constructions raises two main questions: the existence or non‐existence of the zero marker for the third person singular and
