title: A literary and linguistic critique of a Māori lullaby

authors: August, Tipene

subjects: waiata Māori

abstract: Māori song poems surviving from pre-colonial times can provide a valuable source of information about the artistic and cultural heritage of Māoridom. However, they present a number of challenges for the contemporary analyst. On the basis of a stylistic analysis of a Māori lullaby, a number of hypotheses about Māori song poems in general, and the lullaby in particular, are put forward and it is suggested that these hypotheses could be tested in relation to a corpus of song poems. It is hoped that the approach to stylistic analysis adopted here will be of use to scholars of Māori song poems and, perhaps, also to others who are interested in indigenous art forms more generally.

title: Characterizing the sum of two cubes

authors: Broughan, Kevin A.

subjects: sum of two cubes

abstract: An intrinsic characterization of positive integers which can be represented as the sum or difference of two cubes is given. Every integer has a smallest multiple with is a sum of two cubes and such that the multiple, in the form of an iterated function of the integer, is eventually periodic with period one or two. The representation of any integer as the sum of two cubes to a fixed modulus is always possible if and only if the modulus is not divisible by 7 or 9.
