15 1 Even though Jansen's NetLingo Internet Dictionary postulates the hyphenised spelling of the word email, i.e. " e-mail " , arguing that email is short for " electronic mail " , it will be spelt without a hyphen in this volume for the simple reason that the language of CMC tends to be reduced, so hyphens do not ¿ t in the concept of shortenings. Also, it can be recognised that people tend to...

A new approach to assess the orthogonality of two-dimensional (2-D) separation systems based on conditional entropy is developed. It considers the quantitative distribution of peaks in the entire separation space such that the orthogonality obtained is independent of the number of peaks observed for each separation technique. Therefore, it can be used to compare the orthogonality of different 2...

Hyphenated compounds have largely been neglected in the studies of compounding, which seldom analysed context. In this study, we argue that hyphen use is strongly motivated. Hyphenation used when words form a unit, reduces possibility parsing them into separate units or other forms. The current study adopts new perspective on contextual factors, namely, part speech (PoS) compound as whole belon...

The elucidation of the structure of glycosaminoglycan has proven to be challenging for analytical chemists. Molecules of glycosaminoglycan have a high negative charge and are polydisperse and microheterogeneous, thus requiring the application of multiple analytical techniques and methods. Heparin and heparan sulfate are the most structurally complex of the glycosaminoglycans and are widely dist...
