The notion of perceptual content is commonly introduced in the analysis of perception. It stems from an analogy between perception and propositional attitudes. Both kinds of mental states, it is thought, have conditions of satisfaction. I try to show that on the most plausible account of perceptual content, it does not determine the conditions under which perceptual experience is veridical. Mor...

The classification of mood disorders lacks precision and consequently there has been no recent meaningful advance in their treatment. By virtue of its therapeutic specificity, lithium responsivity offers an opportunity to diagnose a definitive subtype of mood disorders that may provide a platform for the development of targeted therapy.

Rubino et al have identified that most (if not all) of the excess risk of suicide in a group of patients treated with venlafaxine could be explained by a higher burden of risk factors for suicide. It may be true that this group of patients had more severe or " difficult to treat " unipolar depression, but it is also possible that bipolar features in this group may be responsible for the observe...

One of the best-studied plant defense systems, the glucosinolate-myrosinase system of the Brassicales, is composed of thioglucosides known as glucosinolates and their hydrolytic enzymes, the myrosinases. Tissue disruption brings these components together, and bioactive products are formed as a consequence of myrosinase-catalyzed glucosinolate hydrolysis. Among these products, isothiocyanates ha...

Introduction. For “subject question” it is traditionally presumed, that the subject in interrogative word or combination. From logical point of view not correct, because such sentence yet found, and combination just “help” searching for it. In English, marked by different syntactic means, example, absence auxiliary verb. Also question a formal particle “there” shows up; however, its functions a...

RanGTP has a central role in spindle assembly, but the Ran-regulated factors required to initiate spindle bipolarity and stabilize MT growth toward the chromosomes remain unknown. However, three recent papers (Koffa et al., 2006; Sillje et al., 2006; Wong and Fang, 2006) have identified a single factor, HURP, that may encompass both of these properties.

We present a principled background for the adoption of a category ‘Specifier’ in the analysis of noun phrases, and show how, under certain constraining assumptions, it can be successfully employed in the implementation of an HPSG grammar of noun phrases for Norwegian. How widely the assumptions can be applied on empirical grounds cross-linguistically, is still a matter for further investigation.
