Basic Assumptions and Purpose On a theoretical level, this presentation – which is based on my 2004 monograph Selfish Sounds and Linguistic Evolution – sketches and defends an approach to human linguistic competence that views it as a system of neural link patterns embodying schematic instructions for communicative behavior that are transmitted faithfully enough to qualify as mental or cultural...

We have recently worked on two approaches towards a dynamic representation of the diagnosis process, namely using a preference relation over single diagnoses and using one over sets of diagnoses. The latter is formalized in the concept of strategies, while the former is captured by the notion of preference graphs. In this paper we show how to combine both lines by specifying the preference grap...

We present a detailed study of the cluster CL 0048-2942, located at z ∼ 0.64, based on a photometric and spectro-scopic catalogue of 54 galaxies in a 5 × 5 arcmin 2 region centred in that cluster. Of these, 23 galaxies were found to belong to the cluster. Based on this sample, the line-of-sight velocity dispersion of the cluster is approximately 680 ± 140 km/s. We have performed stellar populat...

for 1.0 < (V I) < 1.3. This agrees well with theoretical estimates from stellar population models. Comparisons between SBF distances and a variety of other estimators, including Cepheid variable stars, the Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function (PNLF), Tully-Fisher (TF), Dn , SNII, and SNIa, indicate that the calibration of SBF is universally valid and that SBF error estimates are accurate. The z...

Using spectrophotometry of a large sample of galaxies in 19 Abell Clusters, we have selected 42 candidate AGN by the criteria used by Dressler et al. 1985 (DTS) in their analysis of the statistics of 22 AGN in 14 rich cluster fields, which are based on the equivalent width of [OII]3727Å, Hβ, and [OIII]5007Å emission. We have then discriminated AGN from HII region-like galaxies (hereafter HII ga...

A remarkable feature of the prototype foamy virus (PFV) replication pathway has been reported to consist of the ability to retrotranspose intracellularly with high efficiency (M. Heinkelein, T. Pietschmann, G. Jármy, M. Dressler, H. Imrich, J. Thurow, D. Lindemann, M. Bock, A. Moebes, J. Roy, O. Herchenröder, and A. Rethwilm, EMBO J. 19:3436-3345, 2000). PFV intracellular retrotransposition (IR...

total or partial absence or excess of the sex chromosomes produces different karyotypes and phenotypical abnormalities. upon retrospective analysis of the results of 163444 cytogenetic tests that were performed during 28 years (1987-2015) in this center, different types of sex chromosomal aberrations and the clinical phenotypes are delineated in this article. moreover, the clinical course and t...

genetic basis of diffrent arrhythmias has always been an intresting subject of resesrch for scientists. here i will review in brief the most common familia arrhythmias and the new findings regarding their mode of inhetitance. this paper will mainly focus on the genetic basis of the long qt syndromes but we will also have a short review of the genetics of three other familia congenital arrhythmo...
