This paper discusses switch-reference (SR) systems in Pano and Muskogean languages, and propose that grammatical case plays an essential role in licensing same subject SR constructions in these languages. Specifically, case activates an agreement relationship between two clauses, allowing for transmission of information about participant coreference. Different subject SR, on the other hand, doe...

Veratrone is prepared from veratrum viride. It is described as being an aseptic, non-alcoholic, physiologically standardised preparation. Each cubic centimetre represents 0-25 gram, of the drug. It is standardised to a definite degree of activity by physiological tests. It contains a small proportion of chloretone, which acts as a preservative. The patient should always be kept in the recumbent...

The first customer is the first reference for a start-up company. The first reference customer is especially important for the companies, which produce complex software products for the business-to-business market. Without real world tests, it is hard to convince the next customer. The first reference is important not only for testing the product technology, but also for verifying the business ...

Some researchers argue that task switching involves task-set reconfiguration--that is, changing the existing task set to perform a different task. Although this idea is intriguing, it is often unclear what is reconfigured and which processes are involved in reconfiguration. We addressed these issues by defining task sets, identifying differences between them, and obtaining evidence that was dia...

Intensive competition has forced companies to focus on their core business and participate in more and more complex supply networks. The necessity to preserve the autonomy of each partner makes that such networks are usually managed in a decentralized way. Consequently, problems and conflicts emerge during the coordination processes. This paper describes some coordination problems identified th...

AIM To characterize the patterns of competition for a sample of drugs in the Portuguese pharmaceutical market before (January 2002-March 2003) and after (April 2003-June 2003) the introduction of the reference pricing system (RPS). METHODS We performed a descriptive, retrospective, longitudinal analysis, with monthly observations from January 2002 until June 2003 of 15 homogeneous groups. The...

As organizations realize that data management plays an important role in revenue generation, the need is growing for next-generation reference data management capabilities. Firms must focus on reinventing RDM capabilities and exploiting the power of new technologies such as virtualization and analytics, as well as using social media data to design better trade strategies and improve regulatory ...

The monopole singularity string, infinite direct line in the rest reference frame, is considered as a rigid physical line, and behavior of its geometrical form under the Lorentz transformations is studied. The method to test the form of any rigid line or surface in relativistical terms is based on the use of light signals emitted from the origin of the reference frame. Influence of the motion o...
