This study investigates the underlying tonal pattern of pitch accent, tone interaction, focus effects, and the prosodic structure of Northern Kyungsang Korean (NKK) by examining tone-syllable alignment and the realization of pitch accent in different tonal/prosodic contexts. Based on quantitative data, we propose that the underlying tone of pitch accent is H*+L and that the left edge of a proso...

Effects of Human pE-NTPDase on rabbit platelet aggregation We had previously purified human pE-NTPDase glycoprotein 1 , and in this study we evaluated the effects of human pE-NTPDase on rabbit platelet aggregation induced by ADP as previously described. 1,2 Rabbit platelet-rich plasma (3×10 8 platelets/ml) was incubated in siliconized cuvettes at 37C for 5 minutes with or without purified huma...

We examine cross sections for the processes γN → NKK in the framework of a phenomenological Lagrangian. We include contributions from Λ and Σ resonances up to spin 3/2, as well as those from an exotic Θ. We allow the Θ to have spin 1/2 or 3/2, with either positive or negative parity in each case. We also allow the state to be either isovector or isoscalar. We find that the scenario that most cl...

This letter is on behalf of a number of institutions that participate in the debit card industry in this country. We have been working together to address the debit interchange implementation challenges surrounding the recent Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Act") amendments to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ("EFT A"). As you know, section 920 of the EFT A, as a...
