The need to distinguish two syntactic sources for adnominal adjectives (a direct modification and a relative clause one), with the associated interpretive properties, turns out to have certain implications for the semantic classification of adjectives. We will see that it provides evidence for the existence of a class of truly privative adjectives, and for the conclusion that subsective adjecti...

When investigators are faced with a target system, they want to find sensitive information such as userID and password. Unfortunately, sensitive information can not be found on the hard drive in most cases. Consequently, sensitive information needs to be gathered from physical memory. In our research, we have found lots of sensitive information from physical memory by different techniques. Besi...

BACKGROUND Even if sodium sensitivity represents a risk factor at any blood pressure (BP) level, limited evidence is available that it may influence cardiovascular control in normotensives, particularly in white individuals. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate whether sodium sensitivity alters hemodynamic or autonomic responses to salt in normotensives. METHODS AND RESULTS We e...

Introduction: Global warming is one of the most important environmental problems that have raised researchers’ attention. The present study aimed to analyze heat stress trends using the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index in the country of Iran during the summer over a 30-year period. Materials and Methods: Daily summertime statistical data regarding mean temperature and mean relative humi...

This paper presents the first acoustic phonetic investigation of Mebengokre, a Jê language spoken in the brazilian Amazon. Our focus lies in one conspicuous property of this language’s phonetic structure: the frequent occurrence of unreleased stops in post-vocalic position. Based on auditory impressions from the field and on theoretical considerations we expected to observe variation in vowel d...

Recent research suggests that it is more appropriate to model pronunciation variation with syllable-length acoustic models than with context-dependent phones. Due to the large number of factors contributing to pronunciation variation at the syllable level, the creation of multi-path model topologies appears necessary. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for constructing multi-path models...

If you think that semantic minimalism is the only alternative to contextualism but you’d rather do without Cappelen and Lepore’s mysteriously minimal “propositions,” you can. You just have to recognize that being semantically incomplete does not make a sentence context-sensitive. You don’t have to go through the ritual of repeatedly incanting things like this: “John is ready” expresses the prop...

Database privacy is an ambiguous concept, whose meaning is usually context-dependent. We give a conceptual framework for technologies in that field in terms of three dimensions, depending on whose privacy is considered: i) respondent privacy (to avoid re-identification of patients or other individuals to whom the database records refer); ii) owner privacy (to ensure that the owner must not give...

This paper shows that the traces of rational graphs coincide with the context-sensitive languages.

This paper defines multiset-valued linear index grammar and unordered vector grammar with dominance links. The former models certain uses of multiset-valued feature structures in unification-based formalisms , while the latter is motivated by word order variation and by "quasi-trees", a generalization of trees. The two formalisms are weakly equivalent, and an important subset is at most context...
