This article is concerned with the question as to whether the components of grammar (syntax, semantics and phonology) have a similar architecture. I provide a modest historical background to the recurrent discussion about the parallelisms between syntax and phonology within Generative Grammar and mention some ‘meta-patterns’, i.e., shared properties of linguistic structures in different modules...

An account of discourse connectives is given which focusses on their entailments. It covers uses of such connectives both to express discourse-internal situational relations and to express meta-level discourse relations. Representing the second of these involves explicitly introducing utterance mood into the logical form. The entailments of both situational and discourse uses of connectives are...

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is used to study two dinuclear organometallic molecules, meta-Fe2 and para-Fe2, which have identical molecular formulas but differ in the geometry in which the metal centers are linked through a central phenyl ring. Both molecules show symmetric electron density when imaged with STM under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions at 77 K. Chemical oxidation of these molecu...

(131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) has been used as a therapeutic agent for pheochromocytoma. Tumor localization and precise staging are essential for therapy with high-dose (131)I-MIBG. The sites and extent of (123)I-MIBG uptake are usually estimated to predict the effectiveness of therapy before administration. However, conventional scintigraphic images provide insufficient anatomic inform...

Expert performance constitutes the endpoint of skill acquisition and is accompanied by widespread neuroplastic changes. To reveal common mechanisms of reorganization associated with long-term expertise in a cognitive domain (mental calculation, chess, language, memory, music without motor involvement), we used activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis and compared brain activation of exper...

In the title compound, C(13)H(11)Cl(2)NO(2)S, the conformation of the N-C bond in the C-SO(2)-NH-C segment has gauche torsions with respect to the S=O bonds. The mol-ecule is bent at the S atom with a C-SO(2)-NH-C torsion angle of 64.3 (4)°. Furthermore, the conformation of the N-H bond and the meta-chloro group in the adjacent benzene ring are anti to each other. The two benzene rings are tilt...

PURPOSE The aim was to investigate whole-body and red marrow absorbed doses in treatments of neuroblastoma (NB) and adult neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) with (131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine and to propose a simple method for determining the activity to administer when dosimetric data for the individual patient are not available. METHODS Nine NB patients and six NET patients were included, giving...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(12)H(7)Cl(4)NO(2)S, the conformation of the N-H bond is syn to the meta-chloro residue in the aniline benzene ring. The two aromatic rings are tilted relative to each other by 68.9 (1)°. N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers.

We present a global hybrid meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) with three empirical parameters, as well as its underlying semilocal meta-GGA and a meta-GGA with only one empirical parameter. All of them are based on the new meta-GGA resulting from the understanding of kinetic-energy-density dependence [J. Sun, B. Xiao, and A. Ruzsinszky, J. Chem. Phys. 137, 051101 (2012)]. The ob...
