Conventional wisdom holds that productive morphology is regular morphology. Drawing evidence from French, we argue that the description of many lexeme formation processes is simplified if we hold that a productive rule may give rise to inflectionally irregular lexemes. We argue that the notion of a stem space allows for a straightforward description of this phenomenon: each lexeme comes equippe...

1. Spikes evoked in spinal motoneurons by antidromic stimulation normally present an inflection in their rising phase. A similar inflection is present in spikes evoked by direct stimulation with short pulses. 2. In either case the inflection becomes less prominent if the motoneuron membrane is depolarized and more prominent when it is hyperpolarized. Both antidromic and direct spikes may fall f...

We report the case of an English-speaking aphasic patient (JP) with left posterior-frontal damage affecting the inferior frontal and precentral gyri. In speaking, JP was impaired with the regular inflections of nouns and pseudonouns, making errors like "pears" instead of pear or "door" for doors, while the spoken production of noun stems and irregularly inflected nouns (teeth) was preserved. JP...

To assess the value of measuring compliance in the adult respiratory distress syndrome, sequential pressure-volume curves were obtained in 19 patients with this syndrome. Analysis of the pressure-volume curves allowed separation of the patients into the following four groups: (1) group 1 (n = 6), normal compliance measured during deflation, little hysteresis, and no inflection in the ascending ...

In this paper, the author investigates a generic type of the two dimensional incompressible viscous boundary layer flows near the inflection point of a smooth curve. In particular, an approximate evaluation of velocity distribution in an “adjacent” region of the inflection point of this curve is derived. Here, it is a priory assumed that this point is unique. Besides, the flow field is supposed...

Similarly to simple words, compounds and other multi-word units (MWUs) are subject to inflection. A correct and exhaustive treatment of this issue has an important impact on natural language applications. However it raises some nontrivial questions such as: the role of separators in MWUs, morphological non-compositionality of MWUs, their syntactic and semantic variation, huge sizes of inflectio...

The decision of the inflection point is the key to ensure automatic section cutting precision using a boom-type road header. In this paper, cutting precision model was set up for the first time to trapezoidal section and a method determining inflection point is given. Considered the cutting head’ projection at section is elliptical with the cantilever’s joint variable. The relationship between ...

We propose a modification of no-scale supergravity models which incorporates sgoldstino stabilization and supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking with tunable cosmological constant by introducing Kahler potential yields kinetic pole order one. The resulting scalar may develop an inflection point, close to inflationary period can be realized for subplanckian field values consistently the observational dat...
