Congruences in ordered pairs of partitions

Dyson defined the rank of a partition (as the first part minus the number of parts) whilst investigating certain congruences in the sequence p−1(n). The rank has been widely studied as have been other statistics, such as the crank. In this paper a “birank” is defined which relates to ordered pairs of partitions, and is used in an elementary proof of a congruence in p−2(n

Five new species and three new subspecies of Erebidae and Noctuidae (Insecta, Lepidoptera) from Northwestern North America, with notes on Chytolita Grote (Erebidae) and Hydraecia Guenée (Noctuidae)

This is the publisher’s final pdf. The published article is copyrighted by Pensoft Publishers and can be found at: http://www.pensoft.net/journals/zookeys/.Several taxonomic issues in the moth families Erebidae and Noctuidae are addressed for Northwestern North America.

Hirschhorn's identities

We prove a general identity between power series and use this identity to give proofs of a number of identities proposed by M.D. Hirschhorn. We also use the identity to give proofs of a well-known result of Jacobi, the quintuple-product identity and Winquist's identit

There Was Already Quite a Crowd : Gilles Deleuze on Action, Multiplicity, and Sociality

This dissertation argues for an interpretation of Gilles Deleuze\u27s theory of the mind and of action which, by means of the concept of a social group agent, can serve as the basis for a novel political theory. Drawing on recent scholarship on Deleuze which emphasizes the significance of Immanuel Kant\u27s influence on his work, the first chapter argues that Deleuze\u27s Difference and Repetition presents a theory of the mind which is largely in line with Kant\u27s project, but which presents a more dynamic and developmental picture of the mind. Deleuze presents the mind as the product of the interaction of three synthetic faculties, habit, memory, and thought, and argues that they can function both in concert, taking the same object and producing empirical representation, or dynamically and serially, permitting learning when encountering new phenomena. The second chapter argues that Deleuze has a unique theory of action, drawing from Spinoza, Kant, and Nietzsche, which distinguishes action from habitual behavior by means of the presence of a rule constructed by the agent through thought. The third chapter argues that, given this theory of the mind and of action, along with Deleuze\u27s argument that a multiplicity must have both material and virtual parts, social groups of a sufficient level of organization, such as commercial corporations, are metaphysically individual agents. Finally, the fourth chapter argues that if large social groups, such as nations, are also individual agents, Deleuze\u27s distinction between action and habit lines up with H. L. A. Hart\u27s distinction between social practices and social rules and explains why latter exert normative force on the members of a social group. Finally, these concepts are applied to Deleuze\u27s own social philosophy, in Anti-Oedipus, to shed light on Deleuze\u27s concepts of social machines and social inscription

"The American Security Role in Europe: How Does It Relate to the European Community Agenda?"

[From the Introduction]. This paper is concerned with the future role of American military power in Europe. It first looks at the present security role, which revolves around the American commitment to NATO. It describes and explains that role in terms of American and European interests in American military commitments to NATO and of American leadership in NATO. Based on these assessments, and assuming that there will remain on both sides of the Atlantic an interest in an American military presence in Europe, it explores possible alternative ways the United States could maintain a military presence in Europe
