Detailed study of data in Dixon’s (1977) grammar indicates that previous analyses of Yidī have erred in supposing that the synchronic pattern of the language continues the historical pattern, whereby various nominal stems have their underlying final vowels deleted when no suffix follows. Instead, it appears that the system has undergone a radical reanalysis, whereby the suffixed forms are now p...

The reader of a text actively constructs a rich picture of the objects, events, and situation described. The text is a vague, insufficient, and ambiguous indicator of the world that the writer intends to depict. The reader draws upon world knowledge to disambiguate and clarify the text, selecting the most plausible interpretation from among the (infinitely) many possible ones. In principle, any...

pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine‑producing tumor. there are a very few reported cases of clinical pheochromocytoma. here, we report a 27‑year‑old woman para 1 live 1 with chief complaint of headache, confusion, nausea, and vomiting 2 days after cesarean section. she was anxious and had palpitation. on physical examination, fever, tachycardia, tachypnea, high blood pressure, and right thyroid...

Bovine diarrhea virus (BVDV) causes a variety of economically important enteric and infertility problems. For that reason, several countries have eradicated the disease and some others have schemes in progress to achieve freedom from it. Although there is a considerable amount of information about the risk of BVDV transmission through contaminated semen used for AI, there is no available eviden...

Many lessons have been learned over the last 20 years about the development of large, complex systems. Structured programming techniques used for implementation have led to improved software quality and maintainability. Compilers and other tools have been developed to improve productivity and reliability. Management procedures have evolved that improved the control and stability of the developm...

We calculate the cross section for the dissociation of J/ψ by kaons within the framework of a meson exchange model. We find that, depending on the values of the coupling constants used, the cross section can vary from 5 mb to 30 mb at √ s ∼ 5 GeV. In relativistic heavy ion collisions J/ψ suppression has been recognized as an important tool to identify the possible phase transition to quark-gluo...

Thin section polarized-light microscopy is a simple, cost-effective and nondestructive technique utilized to delineate crystalline or amorphous solids at varying scales and spatial resolutions; thereby allowing the different phases to be studied within their textural framework. Estimates of chemical composition and insight into the solid’s genesis can be deduced via unique textural characterist...

We address the consistency of Hořava’s proposal for a theory of quantum gravity from the low-energy perspective. We uncover the additional scalar degree of freedom arising from the explicit breaking of the general covariance and study its properties. The analysis is performed both in the original formulation of the theory and in the Stückelberg picture. A peculiarity of the new mode is that it ...

Despite the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation that caesarean section (c-section) rates should not exceed 15% [1], the high rates in some countries are cause for concern. For example, Italy, China, Mexico and Brazil all have rates higher than 36% [2] with great variation within each nation. The need for c-section has probably increased for many reasons, including rising rates of o...
