Disentangling syntactic, semantic and pragmatic impairments in ASD : elicited production of passives
Children with ASD and an IQ-matched control group of typically developing (TD) children completed an elicited-production task which encouraged the production of reversible passive sentences (e.g., “Bob was hit by Wendy”). Although the two groups showed similar levels of correct production, the ASD group produced a significantly greater number of “reversal” errors (e.g., “Wendy was hit by Bob”, when, in fact Wendy hit Bob) than the TD group (who, when they did not produce correct passives, instead generally produced semantically appropriate actives; e.g., “Wendy hit Bob”). These findings suggest that the more formal elements of syntax are spared relative to more semantic/pragmatic/narrative aspects (e.g., manipulating thematic roles) in at least high-functioning children with ASD
Electromagnetic Probes of Strongly Interacting Matter: Probes of Chiral Symmetry Restoration?
The QCD sum rule approach to in-medium modifications of the omega meson in
nuclear matter is reviewed with emphasis of its relation to 4-quark condensates
and chiral symmetry restoration. Possible implications of the CB-TAPS
experiment for the reaction gamma A -> A' omega (-> pi0 gamma) are sketched and
the particularly important role of di-electron probes, accessible with HADES,
is highlighted. A brief update of a parametrization of the previous dilepton
and photon probes from CERES and WA98 of heavy-ion collisions at CERN-SPS
energies is presented.Comment: Contribution to Workshop on In-Medium Hadron Physics, Giessen, Nov.

A Compact Formula for Rotations as Spin Matrix Polynomials
Group elements of SU(2) are expressed in closed form as finite polynomials of
the Lie algebra generators, for all definite spin representations of the
rotation group. The simple explicit result exhibits connections between group
theory, combinatorics, and Fourier analysis, especially in the large spin
limit. Salient intuitive features of the formula are illustrated and discussed
Ternary Virasoro - Witt Algebra
A 3-bracket variant of the Virasoro-Witt algebra is constructed through the
use of su(1,1) enveloping algebra techniques. The Leibniz rules for 3-brackets
acting on other 3-brackets in the algebra are discussed and verified in various
situations.Comment: 6 pages, Late
