We address the problem of how to differentiate between phonetically-caused aspects of prosody  those that arise from purely physical phonetic factors and are not reflected in the mental lexicon  vs. phonologically-maintained aspects—those that have a psychological component, i.e., arise from the representation in the mental lexicon. Two case studies are reported: the first focusing on the F0 ...

EMU is a wide-field radio continuum survey planned for the new Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope, due to be completed in 2012. The primary goal of EMU is to make a deep (∼10μJy/bm rms) radio continuum survey of the entire Southern Sky at 1.4 GHz, extending as far North as +30◦ declination, with a 10 arcsec resolution. EMU is expected to detect and catalog about 70 m...

Recently, the quality of intrinsic CVD Diamond (CVD-D) has tremendously been improved. The replacement of the previous used silicon substrates for growth by ultra-pure HPHT Single-Crystal (SC) {100}-oriented diamond provides homo-epitaxial grown material almost free of structural defects. Nevertheless, all substrates nominally {100}oriented show a certain amount of off-angle declination from th...

The Extended Self-Similarity (ESS) of cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation has been studied using recent data obtained by the spacecraft based Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. Using the ESS and the high angular scale resolution (arcminutes) of the data it is shown that the CMB temperature space increments exhibit considerable and systematic declination from Gaussianity for high orde...

on the 22nd of June?a period of rather more than two months, the period of greatest fatal prevalence being the 17 days included between the 13th and 29th of May. Indeed the prevalence may well be divided into three periods :? (1.) A period of 31 days' accession. (2.) A period of 17 days' culmination. (3.) A period of 24 days' declination. 3. A general view of the meteorological peculiarities an...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of thrombopoietin (TPO) on T lymphocyte in Balb/c mice delivered hTPO cDNA with plasmid vector. Both mature and immature T lymphocytes in central organs increased, but only the CD4+ subset was preferably proliferated in circulation. High serum IFN-gamma was coinciding with the declination of platelet counts, but TNF-alpha was positively associate...

This Bioethics and Biopolitics: Presents and Futures of Reproduction symposium draws together a series of articles that were each submitted independently by their authors to the JBI and which explore the biopower axis in the externalization of reproduction in four contexts: artificial gestation (ectogenesis), PGD for sex selection, women's (reproductive) rights, and testicular cryopreservation ...

In this paper we test the hypothesis that the Pioneer anomaly can be of gravitational origin by comparing the predicted model-independent shifts ∆a/a for the semimajor axis of Uranus and Neptune with the Voyager 2 radio-technical distance measurements performed at JPLNASA. As in the case of other tests based on different methods and data sets (secular perihelion advance, right ascension/declina...

We examine the H I content of spiral galaxies in groups by using a catalog of loose groups of galaxies identified in a magnitude limited sample (mZ ≤ 15.7) spanning the range 8 ≤ α ≤ 18 in right ascension and +9 ≤ δ ≤ +15 in declination. The redshift completeness of the galaxy sample is ∼ 95%. No significant effect of H I depletion is found, although there may be a hint that the earliest type s...
