We show that the proper motion of the Becklin-Neugebauer (BN) object is consistent with its dynamical ejection from the ΘC binary, contrary to recent claims by Gómez et al. Continued radio observations of BN and future precise astrometric observations of ΘC with SIM and the Orion Nebula Cluster with GAIA can constrain the properties of this ejection event, with implications for theories of how ...

it is well understood that the jouisance capacity of foreigners in intellectual property rights has a paradoxical nature. on one hand and as a minimalist approach, this right is governed by private law and on the other, based on a maximalist approach; it is under the public-economic law governance. therefore, reconnaissance of jouisacne capacity is under the publican law domain. meanwhile, it i...

However, such changes are not independent of individual behaviour (or vice versa). Therefore, the interrelations between social change and individual action need to be studied in more ...

in this paper, the 10-minutes period measured wind speed data at different heights (10 m, 30 m, and 40 m) are presented for khvaf, which is one of the major counties with high wind potential in khorasan provinces in iran. to the author’s knowledge, there hasn’t been any assessment works in the mentioned site. from the primary evaluation and by determining mean wind speed and also the weibull fu...

the present paper seeks to present a minimalist account for the derivational process of marked ergative constructions in hawrami in terms of phase theory (chomsky 2000, 2001, 2004; radford 2009; citko2014). this phase-based approach is compared to the former feature-based approach advocated by karimi doustan and naghshbandi (2011). it is argued that using phase theory and its related mechanisms...

This article discusses significant changes of Japanese occupational pensions since the early 2000s. Our analysis shows that these schemes have been key components of policies to promote private welfare provision and have been highly compatible with human capital investment strategies that are based on long-term employment relationships of regular workers. However, since the 1990s, occupational ...
