In Norwegian, possessive pronouns can be prenominal (min bil 'my car') or postnominal (bilen min 'car.DEF my'). In the Principles and Parameters literature, the standard assumption is that possessive pronouns are prenominal in underlying structure, while the postnominal position is a result of N-movement. This paper takes a different approach. The focus is the grammatical differences between th...

A new approach to the inverse-scattering technique of Alekseev is presented which permits real-pole soliton solutions of the Ernst equations to be considered. This is achieved by adopting distinct real poles in the scattering matrix and its inverse. For the case in which the electromagnetic field vanishes, some explicit solutions are given using a Minkowski seed metric. The relation with the co...

although extensive experimental work has been carried out during the last several years, experimental reaction rate constants are available only for hundreds of compounds. therefore, it is useful to develop a theoretical prediction method, which can be used to obtain estimates of the necessary kinetic parameters. one of the most successful approaches to predict chemical properties starting only...

assessment of cardiac right‑ventricle functions plays an essential role in diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (arvd). among clinical tests, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is now becoming the most valid imaging technique to diagnose arvd. fatty infiltration of the right ventricular free wall can be visible on cardiac mri. finding right‑ventricle functional paramete...

The Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agent model is a highly favoured agent development model known for its distinct abstraction between components, conceptual adaptability and flexibility in determining its actions. This determination is handled through a plan selection function which determines the most appropriate plan or action given the current state of the environment. Whilst it is conceptua...

background: intracranial lesions of the pituitary gland are common pituitary adenomas, accounting for 6-10% of all symptomatic intracranial tumors. in this retrospective study, the clinicopathologic features and survival rate of pituitary adenomas were evaluated. methods: the present retrospective study was conducted on 83 patients with pituitary adenomas, referring to radiation oncology depart...

In recent years, Data Warehouse has emerged as a powerful technology for integrating heterogeneous data into a multidimensional repository on behalf of decision-support analysis. The complex extraction, transformation and loading process involved, as well as the aggregational-intensive queries are governed by a multitude of quality factors such as integrity, accessibility, performance, and othe...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between knee pain and various indicators of the combined performance of the lower extremity (including gait parameters, functional performance such as timed up and go, and functional reach test) and to determine whether the classification of vertical ground reaction forces correlates with gait parameters and functional performance...
