Noda Interpropositional Modality

Rhizobium meliloti nodulation genes: identification of nodDABC gene products, purification of nodA protein, and expression of nodA in Rhizobium meliloti.

A set of conserved, or common, bacterial nodulation (nod) loci is required for host plant infection by Rhizobium meliloti and other Rhizobium species. Four such genes, nodDABC, have been indicated in R. meliloti 1021 by genetic analysis and DNA sequencing. An essential step toward understanding the function of these genes is to characterize their protein products. We used in vitro and maxicell ...

Conjugation of NODA - GA - T to Sulfo - SMCC – Derivatized Proteins

Although protein-based PET imaging agents are projected to become important tracer molecules in the future, the labeling of complex biomolecules with PET radionuclides is inexpedient and, most of the time, challenging.Methods: Here we present a straightforward labeling chemistry to attach the versatile radionuclide 68Ga to proteins. Introducing the 68Ga chelating agent NODA-GA-T (2,29-(7-(1-car...

Graded modality

Note: This is a draft as of October 3, 2014 of a survey article now under review for the Companion to Semantics being prepared for Wiley by L. Matthewson, C. Meier, H. Rullmann, and E. Zimmermann. The intention is for the article to be engaging and accessible to students with 1 or 2 courses in formal semantics, so I’ve tried to keep it as non-technical and empiricallyoriented as possible. Sugge...

Relational Modality

Saul Kripke’s thesis that ordinary proper names are rigid designators is supported by widely shared intuitions about the occurrence of names in ordinary modal contexts. By those intuitions names are scopeless with respect to the modal expressions. That is, sentences in a pair like (a) Aristotle might have been fond of dogs (b) Concerning Aristotle, it is true that he might have been fond of dog...
