Abstract This article focuses on hypocoristic truncation in Sardinian. Besides disyllabic truncation, Sardinian also yields trisyllabic truncated forms by means of a process reduplicative prefixation (e.g., Totore ← Servatore ) and, more interestingly, copy what is analyzed as an internally layered ternary foot (Va(tore)) ). In this paper we develop OT analysis based output-output correspondenc...

The truncation of stellar discs is not abrupt but characterized by a continuous distancing from the exponential profile. There exists a truncation curve, t(r), ending at a truncation radius, r t. We present here a theoretical model in which it is assumed that the magnetic hypothesis explaining the flat rotation curve also explains the truncation. Once stars are born, the centripetal magnetic fo...

Based on experiences from livestock breeding we introduce erroneous truncation selection for the Breeder Genetic Algorithm BGA The decision behavior of the breeder is given by a simple model It is shown that there is no bene t to the BGA by using erroneous selection though the variance of the parent population is increased by increasing the decision error variance Introduction Selection is one ...

BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a familial heart muscle disease characterized by structural, electrical, and pathological abnormalities of the right ventricle (RV). Several disease loci have been identified. Mutations in desmoplakin have recently been isolated in both autosomal-dominant and autosomal-recessive forms of ARVC. Primary left ventricular (LV) var...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we have investigated the chaotic behavior of thermal convection in couple stress liquid saturated porous layer subject to gravity‎, ‎heated from below and cooled from above‎, ‎based on theory of dynamical system‎. ‎A low dimensional Lorenz‎- ‎like model is obtained by using Galerkin-truncation approximation‎. ‎We found that there is proportional relation between scaled couple ...

Local grid refinement aims to optimise the relationship between accuracy of the results and number of grid nodes. In the context of the finite volume method no single local refinement criterion has been globally established as optimum for the selection of the control volumes to subdivide, since it is not easy to associate the discretisation error with an easily computable quantity in each contr...

Truncation artifacts occur in MR imaging because Fourier transforms are used to process MR signal data. These artifacts may alter the intensity, shape, and anatomic detail of structures in the spine. Ring artifacts (Gibb phenomenon) occurring near highly contrasting interfaces represent but one manifestation of truncation artifacts visible on MR images. We review truncation phenomena by providi...
