The fibered isomorphism conjecture for complex manifolds

In this paper we show that the fibered isomorphism conjecture of Farrell and Jones corresponding to the stable topological pseudoisotopy functor is true for the fundamental groups of a large class of complex manifolds. A consequence of this result is that the Whitehead group, reduced projective class groups and the negative K-groups of the fundamental group of these manifolds vanish whenever the fundamental group is torsion free. We also prove the same results for a class of real manifolds.Comment: accepted for publication in Acta Mathematica Sinica, English Serie

AN EXTENSION OF SOME RESULTS DUE TO JARDEN

This paper defines some generalized Fibonacci and Lucas sequences which satisfy arbitrary order linear recurrence relations and which answer a problem posed by Jarden in 1966 about generalizing an elegant result for a connection between even and odd subscripted Fibonacci and Lucas numbers

ARBITRARY ORDER RECURSIVE SEQUENCES AND ASSOCIATED CONTINUED FRACTIONS

The essential idea in this paper it to generalize and synthesize some of the pioneering ideas of Bernstein, Lucas and Horadam on generalizations of basic and primordial Fibonacci numbers and their arbitrary order generalizations and their relation to generalized continued fractions with matrices as the unifying elements

Some aspects of Fibonacci polynomial congruences

This paper formulates a definition of Fibonacci polynomials which is slightly different from the traditional definitions, but which is related to the classical polynomials of Bernoulli, Euler and Hermite. Some related congruence properties are developed and some unanswered questions are outlined. Keywords: Congruences, recurrence relations, Fibonacci sequence, Lucas sequences, umbral calculus

Assessing changes in the internal worlds of early- and late-adopted children using the Story Stem Assessment Profile (SSAP)

A growing body of literature has consistently shown how adopted children often have previous history of trauma and neglect, and in turn develop negative representations of the self and others. This study assesses the internal representations of three groups of children, as measured by the Story Stem Assessment Profile (SSAP). These were: (1) a maltreated, late-adopted (MLA) sample (n = 63); (2) a non-maltreated, early-adopted (EA) sample (n = 48); and (3) a non-maltreated community sample (COMM) (n = 80). In addition, it examined whether MLA and EA adopted children’s attachment and internal representations changed over time. Results showed that children in the MLA sample significantly displayed more disorganised, avoidant and negative representations and fewer representations characteristic of ‘secure’ attachment when compared with EA and, especially, COMM children. Longitudinal follow-up of both MLA and EA samples demonstrated significant changes over a two-year period in SSAP representation; secure representations increased while the avoidant and disorganised ones diminished. These findings are discussed and the limitations and implications of the study presented
