  1. Young childrens arithmetic strategies in social context: How parents contribute to childrens strategy development while playing games: International Journal of Behavioral Development, Vol. 28, No. 4. (July 2004), pp. 347-357. We examined the relationship between parents' behaviour and children's use of simple arithmetic strategies while playing a board game in contrast to solving arithmetic problems. In a microgenetic study spanning 3 weeks, 5-year-old children who were just beginning kindergarten played a modified game of "Chutes and Ladders" with one of their parents, computing their moves from the throw of dice. Children also solved math problems (math context) given to them by their parents at the end of each session. Children's arithmetic strategies and a variety of parental behaviours (prompt, prompt after error, affirmation, disaffirmation , cognitive directives, provide answer) were coded for children's game moves and the math context. As in past research, children used multiple and variable strategies, both when computing their moves during the game and in solving the math problems. Parents displayed different patterns of behaviours during the game and math contexts and showed different relationships among behaviours and strategies as a function of context, reflecting their sensitivity to the cognitive demands on their children of the different tasks. The results were interpreted in terms of the need to integrate contemporary strategy development theory with a sociocultural perspective and to recognise the dynamic nature of parent-child interactions with respect to the social construction of cognitive strategies.

  3. Incompressible Euler Equations: the blow-up problem and related results: (14 Mar 2007)The question of spontaneous apparition of singularity in the 3D incompressible Euler equations is one of the most important and challenging open problems in mathematical fluid mechanics. In this survey article we review some of recent approaches to the problem. We first review Kato's classical local well-posedness result in the Sobolev space and derive the celebrated Beale-Kato-Maj da criterion for finite time blow-up. Then, we discuss recent refinements of the criterion as well as geometric type of theorems on the sufficiency condition for the regularity of solutions. After that we review results excluding some of the scenarios leading to finite time singularities. We also survey studies of various simplified model problems. A dichotomy type of result between the finite time blow-up and the global in time regular dynamics is presented, and a spectral dynamics approach to study local in time behaviors of the enstrophy is also reviewed. Finally, progresses on the problem of optimal regularity for solutions to have conserved quantities are presented.

  4. Thermodynamic formalism and large deviation functions in continuous time Markov dynamics: (16 Mar 2007)The thermodynamic formalism, which was first developed for dynamical systems and then applied to discrete Markov processes, turns out to be well suited for continuous time Markov processes as well, provided the definitions are interpreted in an appropriate way. Besides, it can be reformulated in terms of the generating function of an observable, and then extended to other observables. In particular, the simple observable $K$ giving the number of events occurring over a given time interval turns out to contain already the signature of dynamical phase transitions. For mean-field models in equilibrium, and in the limit of large systems, the formalism is rather simple to apply and shows how thermodynamic phase transitions may modify the dynamical properties of the systems. This is exemplified with the q-state mean-field Potts model, for which the Ising limit q=2 is found to be qualitatively different from the other cases.

  5. Euler Equations of Incompressible Ideal Fluids: (14 Mar 2007)This article is a survey concerning the state-of-the-a rt mathematical theory of the Euler equations of incompressible homogenous ideal fluid. Emphasis is put on the different types of emerging instability, and how they may be related to the description of turbulence.
