It is a striking fact that in humans the greatest learnmg occurs precisely at that point in time- childhood- when the most dramatic maturational changes also occur. This report describes possible synergistic interactions between maturational change and the ability to learn a complex domain

For example, one of the most remarkable things about the United States is that in a generally sparsely populated country, much

to explain the striking algorithmic component of Milgram’s original findings: that individuals using local information are collectively very effective at actually constructing short paths between two points in a social network.

In the early years of the development of a theory of generative grammar (roughly 1955 through the early 1970s), a striking difference between the research problems that characterized the emerging field and those that had occupied its predecessors was the precipitous decline of the study

Our experimental analysis of several popular XPath processors reveals a striking fact: Query evaluation in each of the systems requires time exponential in the size of queries in the worst case. We show that XPath can be processed much more efficiently, and propose main-memory algorithms

Unlike other animal species, much of the variation among human groups is cultural: genetically similar people living in similar environments exhibit strikingly different patterns of behavior because they have different, culturally acquired beliefs and values. Such cultural transmission is based

One of the striking facts concerning the relationship between prices and exchange rates during the 1970's has been the dismal performance of the predictions of the simple versions of the purchasing power parity doctrine (PPP). That doctrine in its 'absolute version ' states
