On rates of convergence to infinitely divisible laws for dependent random variables

Large O and small o approximations of the expected value of a class of functions (modified K-functional and Lipschitz class) of the normalized partial sums of dependent random variables by the expectation of the corresponding functions of infinitely divisible random variables have been established. As a special case, we have obtained rates of convergence to the Stable Limit Laws and to the Weak Laws of Large Numbers. The technique used is the conditional version of the operator method of Trotter and the Taylor expansion.     

泰戈尔短篇小说的诗化特征

泰戈尔短篇小说独特的风格中最为鲜明的东西就是其中的诗化特征。本文全面阐述这一特征,并提出印度诗学中的“味论”加以说明。从而证明泰戈尔的短篇小说不仅在语言和激情方面而且在创作准则和理论基础上都与诗歌攸切相关。     

"政教分离"与美国政治哲学

"政教分离"被许多人视为美国宪法基本原则.由于种种原因,它在20世纪又一次成为公众激烈争论的焦点.如果从政治哲学的角度看,"政教分离"的核心是价值中立,而这并不是美国立宪者的主要关注点.但是现代以来,它确实已日益上升为政治哲学的一个重要原则.它的形成不是一个统一的自由主义理念的展开,毋宁说存在着许多不同的原因,其中既有来自世俗自由主义的,也有来自宗教本身的,甚至还有相当"反自由主义"的.故而,"政教分离"可以视为是政治哲学中常常有的复杂的"交叉共识"的一个典例.     

从生态-能量系统通往更深层的文化唯物主义--论中国地域文化研究对西方文化学最新成果的批判借鉴

作为一种文化唯物主义理论,西方流行的"文化进化论"中有一些成分值得中国地域文化研究加以批判借鉴。其中,"文化生态学"和"文化进化能量法"以及"新进化论"等学说,均在一定程度上与唯物史观有所契合,对我们解剖中国地域文化的异同提供了某种基本视角。     

Money as a Tool for Negotiating Separateness and Connectedness in the Therapeutic Relationship

It is nothing new to suggest that money has meaning. Whether or not one accepts Freud's (1908)linkage of money and feces, within our culture money is frequently seen as a direct pathway to feelings of power, agency, self-directedness, and personal satisfaction. Trachtman (1999) states, Money, psychologically speaking, is our projection onto coins, bills, bank accounts, and other financial instruments of our beliefs, hopes, and fears about how those things will affect who we are, what will happen to us, and how we will be treated by others or by ourselves...(Trachtman, 1999, p. 283). Yet this material is often unavailable for therapeutic exploration or understanding until it explodes into the therapy, often in unmanageable and countertherapeutic ways. This article will look at some of the ways in which money can be utilized to negotiate the ever-changing tensions between self and other, object and subject, intrapyschic and interpersonal, connection and separation that appear in every relationship. In particular, it will explore some ways that money issues within the therapeutic relationship can be turned into significant tools for understanding and working with anxieties about connection and separateness, both within and outside the therapeutic dyad.     

A brief proof on the generalized variance bound of the relative efficiency in statistics

In this paper, we obtain a brief proof on the generalized varance bound of the relative efficiency that was simultaneously given by Bloomfield and Watson(1975) and by Knott (1975).     

SERIES REPRESENTATION OF DOUBLY NONCENTRAL t DISTRIBUTION BY USE OF THE MELLIN INTEGRAL TRANSFORM

ABSTRACT

The Mellin integral transform is widely used to find the distributions of products and quotients of independent random variables defined over the positive domain. But it is hardly used to derive the distributions defined over both positive and negative values of the random variables. In this paper, the Mellin integral transform is applied to obtain the doubly noncentral t density and its distribution function in convergent series forms.

Homosexual role separation: Implications for analyzing and modeling the spread of HIV

The analysis of the spread of HIV in homosexual populations must be based on knowledge of all factors which promote or inhibit transmission. Recently, data were reported from the Amsterdam cohort study that imply that sexual role separation and the changes therein should be taken into account in analyzing and modeling the spread of HIV. In this paper, a role separation mixing model is described and linked to data from the Amsterdam cohort. The model allows one to study the impact of homosexual role separation on the spread of HIV. The homosexual men are classified into four sexual subgroups based on the preference for: 1) no anal intercourse; 2) anal insertive only; 3) anal receptive only; 4) both insertive and receptive. The analysis accounts for variability and change in homosexual role behavior and loss to follow up. The results support the conjecture that there are large differences between the risks of receptive and insertive anal intercourse, with the latter carrying only minimal risk. The analysis indicates that the spread of HIV is mostly restricted to subgroup 4, the largest and sexually most active subgroup. In this subgroup, the estimated probability of HIV transmission from an infected insertive partner (in subgroup 2 or 4) to a receptive susceptible (in subgroup 4) is between 1 and 5 percent (assuming a closed cohort).
