The Japanese particle wa is widely considered a marker for topic. This paper presents new evidence that contrary to this general view, wa does not only mark topic, but it also marks items that are simply discourse anaphoric. The evidence comes from the observation that a wa-phrase displays distinct syntactic behaviour depending on whether it is interpreted as a topic or discourse anaphoric. It ...

The medicinal plant Withania somnifera has been used for over centuries in Indian Ayurvedic Medicine to treat a wide spectrum of disorders. Withaferin A (WA), a bioactive compound that is isolated from this plant, has anti-inflammatory, immuno-modulatory, anti-angiogenic, and anti-cancer properties. Here we investigated malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) suppressive effects of WA and the mole...

BACKGROUND Withaferin A (WA), a naturally occurring withanolide, induces apoptosis in both estrogen-responsive MCF-7 and estrogen-independent MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines with higher sensitivity in MCF-7 cells, but the underlying mechanisms are not well defined. The purpose of this study was to determine the anti-cancer effects of WA in MCF-7 breast cancer cells and explore alterations i...

The cells of affine Weyl groups have been studied for more than one decade. They have been described explicitly in cases of type Ãn ( n ≥ 1 ) [13][9] and of rank ≤ 3 [1][4][10]. But there are only some partial results for an arbitrary irreducible affine Weyl group [2][7][8][16][17]. In [18], we constructed an algorithm to find a representative set of left cells of certain crystallographic group...

The Japanese 'adverbial particle' wa is usually argued to have topic and contrastive functions. The previous analyses on contrastive function of wa have two problems. First, they fail to account for 'association with contrast' in complex NP. Second, the notion of contrast has not been made explicit enough to account for an asymmetry between contrasts involving and not involving wa. This paper a...

INTRODUCTION IN 1953, through cooperation of the Bernard Price Geophysical Institute of the University of the Witwatersrand and the University of Natal, a Columbia University-type long-period seismometer (To = 15 sec., Tg = 75 sec.) was installed in the seismological observatory of the University of Natal at Pietermaritzburg, Union of South Africa. This instrument was well situated for receivin...
