In this paper I analyze the morphosyntactic alternations involving the causative morpheme ̃in Hupa, an Athapaskan language. The distribution of this morpheme is of interest because it is intermediate between that of what might be called a ‘lexical’ causative, and that of a syntactic causative which takes a clausal complement. I will argue that a uniform treatment may be given for ̃in structural t...

Mixtures of distributions are usually effectively used for modeling heterogeneity. It is well known that mixtures of DFR distributions are always DFR. On the other hand, mixtures of IFR distributions can decrease, at least in some intervals of time. As IFR distributions often model lifetimes governed by ageing processes, the operation of mixing can dramatically change the pattern of ageing. The...

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) blends of varying composition have been evaluated in an effort to establish a mixing rule for melt flow index (MFI). In addition, previously established relationship between MFI M w ¯ $$ \overline{M_w} linear polymers was also these blends. It found that parabolic existed the (by weight fraction) held this set polymeric materials. Addition...

Assuming the existence of one light sterile neutrino, we investigate the neutrino flavor mixing matrix in matter. Sum rules between the mixing parameters in vacuum and their counterparts in matter are derived. By using these new sum rules, we obtain the simple but exact expressions of the effective flavor mixing matrix in matter in terms of neutrino masses and the mixing parameters in vacuum. T...

The q2 dependence of the π-η mixing amplitude is examined with the use of QCD sum rules. The linear slope of the mixing function θ(q2) is found to be much smaller than that for ρ-ω mixing. Thus the mixing amplitude is approximately the same in the space-like region as in the time-like one, and one may neglect the q2 dependence of the mixing. A comparison between a hadron-meson, an effective chi...

The present study investigates the use of different GE mixing rules in cubic equations of state for prediction of phase behavior of multicomponent hydrocarbon systems. To predict VLE data in multicomponent symmetric and asymmetric mixtures such as systems that contain light gases (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.) and heavy hydrocarbons, the SRK equation of state has been combined with excess Gib...

Miscible gas injection is one of the most effective enhanced oil recovery techniques and minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is an important parameter in miscible gas injection processes. The accurate determination of this parameter is critical for an adequate design of injection equipment investment prospect. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new universal artificial neural network (U-A...
