The Unaccusativity Hypothesis (UH) holds that intransitive verbs are divided into two broad classes, namely unaccusatives and unergatives. While there is evidence that the UH holds cross-linguistically, it is known that languages do not divide the intransitives into two uniform groups. We investigate the unaccusative-unergative distinction in Turkish by an offline grammaticality judgment task u...

This paper argues that case and inner aspect are independent syntactic relations. In particular I argue that there is no direct syntactic relation between the appearance of accusative case on the direct object and a telic interpretation of a predicate. I argue that accusative case is an Agree relation with v° and aspect is an Agree relation with Asp°, an aspectual head between vP and VP respons...

We introduce a fast iterative non-local shrinkage algorithm to recover MRI data from undersampled Fourier measurements. This approach is enabled by the reformulation of current non-local schemes as an alternating algorithm to minimize a global criterion. The proposed algorithm alternates between a non-local shrinkage step and a quadratic subproblem. We derive analytical shrinkage rules for seve...

Urachal anomalies are exceptionally rare. They can present in different ways in childhood as well as in adults. We present an interesting case of vesico-urachal diverticulum with alternating sinus. The interesting finding in this patient was the inversion and disappearance of the umbilicus at the termination of voiding

Pulsus alternans, the alternating strong and week pulses which occur in patients with severe heart failure, was first described by Traube in 1872. Since then various methods, both invasive1,2 and non-invasive3,4, have been used to study this phenomenon. This study demonstrates the utility of using simultaneous electrocardiography (ECG) and Doppler echocardiography to document pulsus alternans, ...

The homogeneous non-catalytic hydrogenation of cis-1,4 poly(isoprene), isotactic cis-1,4 poly(1,3-pentadiene) and syndiotactic cis-1,4 poly(1,3-pentadiene) with diimide, formed by thermal decomposition of para-toluenesulfonylhydrazide, is examined. Perfectly alternating ethylene/propylene copolymers having different tacticity (i.e., isotactic and syndiotactic), which are difficult to synthesize...
