This article proposes an alternative rhythmic unit for the syllable: the inter-Perceptual Center group. This group is delimited by events which can be detected using only acoustic correlates 29]. The rhythmic patterns for French are described using this characterisation: we show that realisation of accents is gradual over the trailed accentual group and that this gradual lengthening is needed f...

Background: The molecular players regulating platelet life span are largely unexplored. Results: Proteasome inhibition induced apoptotic changes in platelets associated with rise in active Bax and significant drop in platelet life span. Conclusion: Proteasome plays crucial role in delimiting platelet life span through constitutive elimination of the conformationally active Bax. Significance: Th...

This paper uses Australian data from 1984 to 1993 to show that the long run underperformance of seasoned equity offerings is related to the definition of ‘long-run’. We demonstrate that following the period delimited by other writers as the long run, issuing firms turn around in their performance and in fact outperform their corresponding benchmarks, sometimes more than making up for the initia...

This paper describes an alternative formalism for Thai syntax parsing based on a lexicalized tree adjoining grammar (LTAG). We first briefly present some formal background concerning LTAG, which is necessary for an understanding of LTAG and its application to Thai. Specifically, we address several issues regarding difficulties in parsing Thai sentences and how to resolve these issues using LTAG...

Chaitin’s algorithmic definition of random strings—based on the complexity induced by self-delimiting computers—is critically discussed. One shows that Chaitin’s model satisfy many natural requirements related to randomness, so it can be considered as an adequate model for finite random objects. It is a better model than the original (Kolmogorov) proposal. Finally, some open problems will be di...

Solution of In-Class Exercise 1: Lines Intersecting Segment Let s be a line segment in the plane R, and let u, v 2 R be the two endpoints that delimit it. Let furthermore L be the set of all non-vertical lines l that intersect s. A simple characterization of L would be that any non-veritcal line l is contained in L if and only if one of the following occurs: (i) l contains u or (ii) l contains ...

In our previous work we gave a sound and complete axiomatization of the control operators for delimited continuations, shift and reset by Danvy and Filinski and their variants. Since the calculus allows only one use of shift and reset, a next step is to investigate the calculus with many different shift’s and reset’s. In this work, we study the calculus with higher-level delimited continuation ...

This work concerns with the n-fold binary asymmetric channels (BACn). An equivalence relation between two channels can be characterized by both having the same decision criterion when maximum likelihood is considered. We introduce here a function S (the BAC-function) such that the parameters (p, q) of the binary channel which determine equivalent channels belong to certain region delimited by i...

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between case and free word order in Korean by providing proper LP constraints which solve the problems of the previous analyses such as Kuno's (1980) Crossing-Over Constraint (COC). Based on Cho & Chai (2000), we introduce a new type marker which includes case, postpositions, and delimiters. We also add the Adjunct LP Constraint and the A...
