Title of dissertation: WITHOUT SPECIFIERS: PHRASE STRUCTURE AND EVENTS Terje Lohndal, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Paul M. Pietroski This dissertation attempts to unify two reductionist hypotheses: that there is no relational difference between specifiers and complements, and that verbs do not have thematic arguments. I argue that these two hypotheses actually ...

AIM The purpose of this article is to show the value of serial extractions in a young patient with severe crowding. BACKGROUND Serial extraction is a technique advocated for use by Kjellgren in 1948 due to a shortage of orthodontists at the time. This form of treatment was intended to facilitate the treatment of orthodontic cases by general dentists to minimize the demand upon the orthodontis...

The serial numbers are currency issuance numbers, which are used as the identifiers (IDs) of the banknotes. Each sheet has its own serial numbers and the same numbers cannot be used more than once. Correctly and fast recognizing these numbers is very important due mainly to at least the three reasons. Firstly, there is a need for proper statistics by the national treasuries and the banks. Befor...

Phenol was extracted from sebacic acid wastewater (SAWW) using liquid-liquid extraction in batch as well as serial modes by applying different solvent: SAWW (1:250 5:250, v/v). Alcohols (1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, and 1-octanol), castor oil and Aliquat-336® were used for phenol extraction. In a typical extraction experiment involving shaking and allowing for phase separation, phenol (75-96%) can be...

experience and intuitive clinical experimentation, an evolving process which shapes our philosophy of treatment. Modifications of our methods and techniques can and should result from the range of treatment success and failure experienced, providing we are willing to examine our results and are willing to learn from these treatment experiences. For more than 30 years the faculty and graduate st...

Overview Introduction Probabilistic analysis Numerical results Conclusion 2 Introduction Two techniques for data recovery from serial streams: • Clock extraction: – Phase-locked loop for placing sampling time point near-optimally within the bit time interval. – Widely employed in the telecommunications field.
