In natural languages, syntactic elements can, in principle, be linked across an unbounded distance, as exemplified by filler-gap dependencies (also known extractions or movement operations) [...]

Severe deficits of foveal smooth pursuit and optokinetic nystagmus in all directions were electro-oculographically recorded in an 80 year old woman. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an infarct involving the postero-inferior part of the vermis (lobules VI to X) and a portion of the left cerebellar hemisphere, with apparent preservation of the flocculus and the brainstem. The role of the v...

Firstly, the open access movement is gathering strength. Pioneered by PMC Biophysics's parent company, BioMed Central, open access allows any reader immediate free access to published articles, encouraging the widest possible spread of knowledge. Archiving in multiple repositories ensures the long-term preservation of scientific research, and electronic publication enables the inclusion of mult...

Optimal control problems for underactuated mechanical systems can be seen as a higher-order variational problem subject to higher-order constraints (that is, when the Lagrangian function and the constraints depend on higher-order derivatives such as the acceleration, jerk or jounces). In this paper we discuss the variational formalism for the class of underactuated mechanical control systems wh...

Aiming at ensuring privacy preservation in personal data publishing, the topic of anonymization has been intensively studied in recent years. However, existing anonymization techniques all assume each tuple in the microdata table contains one single sensitive attribute (the SSA case), while none paid attention to the case of multiple sensitive attributes in a tuple (the MSA case). In this paper...

Pulpotomy therapy for the primary dentition has developed along three lines: devitalization, preservation, and regeneration. Devitalization, where the intent is to destroy vital tissue, is typified by formocresol and electrocautery. Preservation, the retention of maximum vital tissue with no induction of reparative dentin, is exemplified by glutaraldehyde and ferric sulfate treatment. Regenerat...

In this paper we focus on a new approach for the definition of context-based behavioural substitutability and refinement of roles in MAS, and provide a formal framework for modeling roles together with their composition. First, we introduce two flexible roles compatibility relations depending on the context of use (environment). The proposed compatibility relations take into account the propert...

“occupy wall street” movement which has aimed the heart of the global financial capitalist system enjoys a special significance in the perspective of social-economic- political, human rights (work force), moral and cultural heritage of nations and can be considered as a symbol of work force economic jihad in national and global level in order to realize justice and socio-economic equality. but ...

The preservation of characteristic qualitative properties of different phenomena is a more and more important requirement in the construction of reliable numerical models. For phenomena that can be mathematically described by linear partial differential equations of parabolic type (such as the heat conduction, the diffusion, the pricing of options etc), the most important qualitative properties...

A theory of timewise re nement is presented This allows the translation of speci cations and proofs of correctness between semantic models permitting each stage in the veri cation of a system to take place at the appropriate level of abstraction The theory is presented within the context of CSP A denotational characterisation of re nement is given in terms of relations between behaviours at di ...
