pappi is a multilingual, Prolog-based parsing system designed for implementing theories in the Principles-and-Parameters framework. This report describes the Japanese version of the system. In particular, it reviews how the core system can be extended to handle a variety of Japanese phenomena, including anti-superiority, indirect passives and potentials, o/ni -causative and dative subject const...

In this notewe give a new effective proofmethod for the equivalence of the notions of testability and nondeterministic testability for uniform hypergraph parameters. We provide the first effective upper bound on the sample complexity of any nondeterministically testable r-uniform hypergraph parameter as a function of the sample complexity of its witness parameter for arbitrary r. The dependence...

The pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone were investigated in six healthy mainland Chinese adults (four males and two females). A single 1.0-g dose was administered intravenously or intramuscularly in a two-way crossover design. Plasma and saliva samples were collected on 11 occasions between 0 and 36 h after dosing. Ceftriaxone was not detected in any saliva samples. The mean volume of distribution...

This paper considers the problem of robust stabilization for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems which involve a base system with a control input and a forwarding structure. Both parts of the system are allowed to be nonlinear, multidimensional, and containing uncertain parameters. We present a new approach to design stabilizing controllers which assure both robust global asymptotic stabilit...

<1> Introduction It is generally assumed that in a language with the accusative case system a sentence with a finite predicate must have the subject NP marked with the nominative case. The abstract Case system developed by the Principles and Parameters approach (PPA) is based on this assumption, using the mechanism of the nominative and accusative Case checking for licensing the NPs with the st...

We construct a one-family technicolor model which is consistent with the precision experiments on the electroweak interaction. The Majorana mass of the right-handed techni-neutrino is introduced and the techni-U (1) B−L symmetry is gauged to obtain the correct breaking of the electroweak symmetry. The tree-level kinetic mixing between the techni-U (1) B−L and U (1) Y gauge bosons plays an impor...

In this paper we consider linear, lumped, finite networks composed of interconnections of time-variable and passive resistances, capacitances, inductances, gyrators and transformers. We assume an impedance matrix port description of the network is given and solve the problem of synthesising the impedance, that is, we determine a set of passive elements and a scheme of interconnection which yiel...

Identification of the human genetic health hazard from exposure to chemicals of a diverse nature is of significant importance from a public health standpoint. A wide variety of organisms ranging from phage to human cells in culture may be used as tester strains to identify the mutagenic capability of a chemical. While these systems do supply genetically useful information, their major limitatio...

An experiment in which the third Stokes parameter thermal emission from a periodic water surface was measured is documented. This parameter is shown to be related to the direction of periodicity of the periodic surface and to approach brightnesses of up to 30 K at X band for the surface used in the experiment. The surface actually analyzed was a _two-layer' periodic surface; the theory of therm...
