ABSTRACT We present a clear, step‐by‐step method for counting degrees of freedom and identifying constraints in general field theories. This approach, grounded in the works of Einstein, Hilbert, Cartan, Kuranishi, and, more recently, Seiler, is neither Lagrangian nor Hamiltonian in nature. Instead, it applies directly to the field equations. We offer a

Presenting Examples in Learners’ Dictionaries to Assist Chinese Learners in Writing English Texts
It has been widely acknowledged that exemplification plays a very significant role in foreign language learning. Many studies have been conducted on dictionary examples, but little attention has been paid to how examples can assist a specific group of ...

Lexicographic Preferences in Discrete Choice Experiments: Consequences on Individual-Specific Willingness to Pay Estimates [PDF]
In discrete choice experiments respondents are generally assumed to consider all of the attributes across each of the alternatives, and to choose their most preferred.

Lexicographic differentiation of nonsmooth functions
We present a survey on the results related to the theory of lexicographic differentiation. This theory ensures an efficient computation of generalized (lexicographic) derivative of a nonsmooth function belonging to a special class of lexicographically ...

Abstract Emergency management has become a widely discussed topic in recent years, particularly in relation to different types of emergencies such as climate change, natural disasters, public health, and armed conflicts. The Covid‐19 pandemic has triggered unprecedented uncertainty, sparking a global emergency that raised concerns not only about health

Uma teoria da definição lexicográfica deve estar amparada em três parâmetros: (1) uma taxonomia de paráfrases definidoras, (2) um padrão sintático e (3) um modelo semântico. Este trabalho trata do terceiro parâmetro.

Inclusion, Contrast and Polysemy in Dictionaries: The Relationship between Theory, Language Use and Lexicographic Practice [PDF]
This paper explores the lexicographic representation of a type of polysemy that arises when the meaning of one lexical item can either include or contrast with the meaning of another, as in the case of dog/bitch, shoe/boot, finger/thumb and animal/bird.

Where Utility Functions Do Not Exist - A Note on Lexicographic Orders [PDF]
There seems to be some amount of confusion in the finance text books regarding the conditions under which an individual’s preferences can be represented by a utility function.

WE, ELF and ELT: Perspectives on English and applied linguistics
Abstract In a paper which originally set the scene for WE study, Braj Kachu argued that the ‘global diffusion of English’ called for a new paradigm of enquiry which recognized the independent status of varieties of English used by communities other than those of Inner Circle native speakers.

Maximum number of zeroes of polynomials on weighted projective spaces over a finite field
Abstract We compute the maximum number of rational points at which a homogeneous polynomial can vanish on a weighted projective space over a finite field, provided that the first weight is equal to 1. This solves a conjecture by Aubry, Castryck, Ghorpade, Lachaud, O'Sullivan and Ram, which stated that a Serre‐like bound holds with equality for weighted
