Arguments regarding the reality of abstract syntactic representations have typically revolved around phenomena in which there is a striking discrepancy between the overt structure of the sentences involved and how they are interpreted. In principles & parameters approaches like Government-Binding [GB] theory and its descendent, the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1981, 1995), many syntactic phenome...

Breeding of genetically resistant chickens to Marek's disease (MD) is a vital strategy to poultry health. To find the markers underlying the genetic resistance to MD, copy number variation (CNV) was examined in inbred MD-resistant and -susceptible chicken lines. A total of 45 CNVs were found in four lines of chickens, and 28 were potentially involved in immune response and cell proliferation, e...

The objective of the paper is to describe the formal definitions for the Specification of Asynchronous Communicating System (SACS). This is a process algebra which is a descendent of the synchronous variant of Calculus of Communicating Systems (CCS) known as Synchronous Calculus of Communicating Systems (SCCS). To this end, we present Structured Operational Semantics (SOS) for the constructs of...

BACKGROUND Several clinical entities combine ectodermal dysplasia (ED) and cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P). These disorders have been recognized with a narrow phenotypic spectrum and very similar clinical features. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case with a clinical diagnosis of Hay Wells syndrome (ankyloblepharon, ED and CL/P), who is a descendent of a mother with Bowen Armstrong syndrome (ED,...

Idiopathic Polypoidal Choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is characterized by subretinal vascular lesions leading to multiple, recurrent serosanguinous or hemorrhagic retinal pigment epithelial detachment. The classical PCV occurrence was initially reported in Asian descendent hypertensive middle aged women. Although anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is commonly used as first line treatme...

We survey here the construction and the basic properties of descendent invariants in the theory of stable pairs on nonsingular projective 3-folds. The main topics covered are the rationality of the generating series, the functional equation, the Gromov-Witten/Pairs correspondence for descendents, the Virasoro constraints, and the connection to the virtual fundamental class of the stable pairs m...

This paper addresses some lexical issues in the development of XUNL – a knowledge representation language descendent from and alternative to the Universal Networking Language (UNL). We present the current structure and the role of Universal Words (UW) in UNL and claim that the syntax and the semantics of UWs demand a thorough revision in order to accomplish the requirements of language, culture...

Sensor nodes in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) organize themselves into a cooperative network and perform the three basic functions of sensing, computations and communications. Energy constraints of the sensors pose a major challenge and have become an extensive research in WSN. An event driven secure topology discovery algorithm for a WSN is proposed where individual nodes are responsible for...

The key of prefetching techniques is to establish an effective prediction model, which is mainly classified into two main categories according to the data structure namely PPM model and DG model. However, both models have their own shortcoming. To overcome their shortcomings, we will propose an improved algorithm based on exponential descendent double dependency graph algorithm. And we will als...

the principal of conformity with the law (sehat) is recognized in iranian legal system. in this article, at first we analyze this principle in respect with the iranian jurisprudence in order to demonstrate the legal evaluation. subsequently, we analyses the realistical approach of the jurist in lex mercatori in such regards with due respect to the doctrine and arbitration awards in internationa...
