The opportunity of the pups to "nipple attach" to an anesthetized dam serves as the reinforcer. Discussion questions are...

fuzzy relation inequalities based on max-f composition are discussed, where f is a binary aggregation on [0,1]. for a fixed fuzzy relation inequalities system $ a circ^{f}textbf{x}leqtextbf{b}$, we characterize all matrices $ a^{'} $ for which the solution set of the system $ a^{' } circ^{f}textbf{x}leqtextbf{b}$ is the same as the original solution set. similarly, for a fixed matrix ...

The pitch pattern is said to alternate regularly, depending on the phrasing structure of an utterance. The organization of prosodic phrasing of this dialect, however, has been little investigated and thus it remains unclear what prosodic phrase functions as the domain for the altern...
