BMO Spaces on Weighted Homogeneous Trees
We consider an infinite homogeneous tree V endowed with the usual metric d defined on graphs and a weighted measure Ό. The metric measure space (V, d, Ό) is nondoubling and of exponential growth, hence the classical theory of Hardy and BMO spaces does not apply in this setting. We introduce a space BMO(Ό) on (V, d, Ό) and investigate some of its properties. We prove in particular that BMO(Ό) can be identified with the dual of a Hardy space H1(Ό) introduced in a previous work and we investigate the sharp maximal function related with BMO(Ό)
Poética del Postismo en la obra de Eduardo Chicharro
Este artĂculo estudia los mĂ©todos caracterĂsticos de la poesĂa del "Postismo" en la obra de Eduardo Chicharro, teniendo en cuenta la base teĂłrica que define la estĂ©tica de esta corriente literaria. Los rasgos estilĂsticos en trabajos de este escritor y de esta tendencia vanguardista de posguerra se caracterizan por el uso de dispositivos musicales, semĂĄnticas y sintĂĄcticos, que se analizan en el curso de este trabajo.Este artĂculo estudia los mĂ©todos caracterĂsticos de la poesĂa del "Postismo" en la obra de Eduardo Chicharro, teniendo en cuenta la base teĂłrica que define la estĂ©tica de esta corriente literaria.

Parental bonding and identity style as correlates of self-esteem among adult adoptees and nonadoptees
Adult adoptees (n equals 100) and non-adoptees (n equals 100) were compared with regard to selfesteem, identity processing style, and parental bonding. While some differences were found with regard to self-esteem, maternal care, and maternal overprotection, these differences were
qualified by reunion status such that only reunited adoptees differed significantly from nonadoptees.
Moreover, hierarchical regression analyses indicated that parental bonding and identity processing style were more important than adoptive status per se in predicting self esteem. Implications for practitioners who work with adoptees are discussed
Practicing convict criminology: lessons learned from British academic activism
Joanne Belknapâs recent ASC presidential address included a critique of Convict Criminologyâs activism. A number of concerns were provided, although of particular importance here are, first, Belknapâs concerns regarding the absence of âmarginalized voicesâ in the Convict Criminology network. Second, the issue of defining how non-con academics function as Convict Criminology group members. This paper responds to these criticisms. Specifically, we discuss the question of ârepresentationâ in BCC and our attempts to remedy this issue. We also draw attention to the academic activism that British Convict Criminology is conducting in Europe. This includes a detailed discussion of the collaborative research-activist activities that involve non-con as well as ex-con academic network members. We demonstrate how these collaborations explain the vital group membership role that non-con academics assume in the activism of Convict Criminology
The Affective Impact of Financial Skewness on Neural Activity and Choice
Few finance theories consider the influence of âskewnessâ (or large and asymmetric but unlikely outcomes) on financial choice. We investigated the impact of skewed gambles on subjects' neural activity, self-reported affective responses, and subsequent preferences using functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI). Neurally, skewed gambles elicited more anterior insula activation than symmetric gambles equated for expected value and variance, and positively skewed gambles also specifically elicited more nucleus accumbens (NAcc) activation than negatively skewed gambles. Affectively, positively skewed gambles elicited more positive arousal and negatively skewed gambles elicited more negative arousal than symmetric gambles equated for expected value and variance. Subjects also preferred positively skewed gambles more, but negatively skewed gambles less than symmetric gambles of equal expected value. Individual differences in both NAcc activity and positive arousal predicted preferences for positively skewed gambles. These findings support an anticipatory affect account in which statistical properties of gamblesâincluding skewnessâcan influence neural activity, affective responses, and ultimately, choice
Effects of fungicides and bactericides on orchid seed germination and shoot tip cultures in vitro
Amphotericin B, benomyl, gentamycin, nystatin, quintozene penicillin G, sodium omadine, and vancomycin singly and in several combinations have no deleterious effects on the germination of orchid seeds, but inhibit the growth in vitro of shoot tip explants. © 1981 Martinus Nijhoff/Dr W.

Prisonersâ Familiesâ Research: Developments, Debates and Directions
After many years of relative obscurity, research on prisonersâ families has gained significant momentum. It has expanded from case-oriented descriptive analyses of family experiences to longitudinal studies of child and family development and even macro analyses of the effects on communities in societies of mass incarceration. Now the field engages multi-disciplinary and international interest although it arguably still remains on the periphery of mainstream criminological, psychological and sociological research agendas. This chapter discusses developments in prisonersâ familiesâ research and its positioning in academia and practice. It does not aim to provide an all-encompassing review of the literature rather it will offer some reflections on how and why the field has developed as it has and on its future directions. The chapter is divided into three parts. The first discusses reasons for the historically small body of research on prisonersâ families and for the growth in research interest over the past two decades. The second analyses patterns and shifts in the focus of research studies and considers how the field has been shaped by intersecting disciplinary interests of psychology, sociology, criminology and socio-legal studies. The final part reflects on substantive and ethical issues that are likely to shape the direction of prisonersâ familiesâ research in the future
