BACKGROUND Children with severe cerebral palsy (CP) (i.e. 'non-speaking children with severely limited mobility') are restricted in many domains that are important to the acquisition of language. AIMS To investigate comprehension of spoken language on sentence type level in non-speaking children with severe CP. METHODS & PROCEDURES From an original sample of 87 non-speaking children with se...

This empirical study will use human subjects to assess the form and function of linguistics elements. The study consists of three parts. In Part 1, subjects will be presented with sentences and expressions and asked to identify (by circling and connecting together circles) meaningful groups of words within the sentences and expressions. The goal of Part 1 is to identify the structure of simple ...

One standard way of approaching the problem of analyzing conditional sentences begins with the assumption that a sentence of this kind expresses a proposition that is a function of the propositions expressed by its component parts (plus, perhaps, some features of the context in which the sentence is uttered). The task is to characterize this function. But there is also a long tradition accordin...

Edinburgh EH8 9LW Scotland It has often been observed that sentences such as (1) are ambiguous: (1) Mary has lived in Amsterdam for three years. Sentence (1) has a reading in which there is some three-year interval in the past during which Mary lived in Amsterdam, and a reading in which Mary lives in Amsterdam at speech time and has done so for the three years preceding speech time. I will argu...

Nanoparticles of a new dinuclear silver(I) complex [Ag2(PPh3)2(μ-S-4nb-tsc)2(η1-S-4nb-tsc)2](NO3)2, where 4nb-tsc = 4-nitrobenzylidenethiosemicarbazone and PPh3 = triphenylphosphine, were prepared in an ultrasonic bath and characterized by FT-IR and SEM. The crystal structure of a suitable single crystal prepared by slow evaporation was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compou...

Magnesium is an abundant element in the environment. Magnesium ion sensing by fluorescence spectral method is of importance due to the need for the detection of the metal in the human body and the environment. In this paper, we report the Mg2+ ion sensing behavior of the phenylhydrazone derivative of a difluorenylpiperidin-4-one. The preparation method of this compound is simple. The compound s...

   Various radiometal complexes have been developed for tumor imaging, especially Ga-68 tracer. In the present study, the development of a radiogallium bis-thiosemicarbazone complex has been reported. [67Ga] acetylacetonate bis(thiosemicarbazone) complex ([67Ga] AATS) was prepared starting [67Ga]Gallium acetate and freshly prepared acetylacetonate bis (thiosemicarbazone) (AATS) in 30 min at 90°...
