Copular Complements: Closed or Open?

In this paper, we present some preliminary observations on the syntactic analysis of copular constructions in LFG. We suggest several conclusions and directions for future research. First, the open analysis is appropriate for some copular constructions but not for others, even within the same language. Second, the same construction can be open in some languages and closed in others. Third, we c...

Intensive Care Units: Open or Closed?

Mitosis, not just open or closed.

During cell division, eukaryotic cells must faithfully pass on their genetic material to the next generation during mitosis. It has long been known that lower eukaryotes and higher eukaryotes achieve this in strikingly different ways. Higher eukaryotes undergo an open mitosis in which the nuclear envelope is completely disassembled at the G2/M transition and is not reassembled until after DNA s...

An open or closed case for HMGA

An open or closed case for HMGA S enescence turns a chromatin-activating protein towards the dark side. Upon senescence induction, high mobility group A (HMGA) protein helps to make silent heterochromatin, report Masashi Narita, Scott Lowe, and colleagues (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, NY). HMGA proteins promote open and active chromatin, are highly expressed in the early embryo, and can promo...

Closed versus Open Innovation: Evolution or Combination?

The concept of open innovation has attracted great interest from the academic and industrial sectors alike. Despite the ongoing debate, we can see some lack of consistency of its principles. The purpose of this paper is to set out a conceptual reflection on the foundations of innovation and its process and discuss new proposals from the literature on open innovation. We question whether this co...
