In standard generative approaches, word-formation rules contain, among other things, information on the semantics of the suffix and the syntactic category (or word class) of possible bases. Based on the general assumption that word-class specification of the input is a crucial ingredient of derivational morphology, far-reaching claims have been made. For example, the Unitary Base Hypothesis (Ar...

Background and significance: Vascular access is a mainstay of therapy in acute and chronic care. The use of midline catheters has been controversial, but little researchbased evidence shows its benefits and risks. The nursing vascular access team (VAT) in a 400-bed community hospital was asked to provide this service. To ensure the best care for patients, the development of the midline service ...

An Undergraduate Nurse Employment Demonstration Project (UNDP) was implemented in four Health Service Areas in British Columbia with a concurrent evaluation study. This demonstration project comprised the development and implementation of a new position in the BC healthcare system. The position enabled third- and fourth-year nursing students to be employed at their level of education. The purpo...

th This special issue of Cognitive Systems Research features the top twelve papers from the 4 International Conference on Cognitive Modeling (ICCM-2001). These papers represent the current trends in computational cognitive modeling, displaying both the diversity and commonalities of the field. This introduction to the special issue describes the motivations for the conference and the special is...

The relationship between cancer and inflammation is well known since 1863 when Rudolf Virchow, following the observation of leukocytes in neoplastic tissues, hypothesized that chronic inflammation could contribute to the tumorigenic process. In the following decades, several lines of evidence suggested a strong association between chronic inflammation and increased susceptibility to neoplastic ...

We report results collected year-round since 1998 in northern Marguerite Bay, just inside the Antarctic Circle. The magnitude of the spring phytoplankton bloom is much reduced following winters with reduced sea-ice cover. In years with little winter sea-ice the exposed sea surface leads to deep mixed layers in winter, and reduced watercolumn stratification the following spring. Summer mixed-lay...

-I examined three factors that may limit the clutch size of the Glaucous-winged Gull (Larus gluucescens) to three or fewer eggs: the energetic cost of egg formation, the shelf-life of eggs, and the incubation capacity of adults. Incubation capacity was found to have a significant effect on the success of large clutches but it cannot explain the absence of 4-egg clutches. Energetic limitation fo...

Conclusions Low cost, easily-deliverable interventions can act asimportant drivers to improve awareness and delivery of smokingcessation advice. We have demonstrated that simple strategies can behighly cost effective, of particular importance in this financial climate. REFERENCES1. Rigotti, et al. Arch Int Med 2008;168:19...

Inspired by the BRAIN initiative, a quickly growing body of brightest minds worldwide are set to understand how the brain works (Alivisatos et al., 2012). How soon should we expect this goal to be achieved? Is this goal achievable at all? And how wide is the consensus on what the goal really is? It is difficult to expect any agreement on an answer, if there is no agreement on the question. The ...
