pappi is a multilingual, Prolog-based parsing system designed for implementing theories in the Principles-and-Parameters framework. This report describes the Japanese version of the system. In particular, it reviews how the core system can be extended to handle a variety of Japanese phenomena, including anti-superiority, indirect passives and potentials, o/ni -causative and dative subject const...

Hunger strike is a common form of protest in prisons and is a potential cause of many types of problems, both for the prison administration and the doctors who care for prisoners who participate in one. Issues of conflict of rights and obligations involved, and how to treat people who are subject to the Administration, which in this case takes the position of guarantor, have created major contr...

Abundance calculations for the p-nuclei involve an extended network of about 20,000 nuclear reactions of almost 2,000 nuclei. These rates are calculated with the statistical Hauser Feshbach Model (HF-Model). Elastic scattering experimental data provides a test for the global parameterizations of optical potentials that are used in these statistical model calculations. Recent experiments suggest...

to explain the strategic plan to achieve a new islamic civilization in its various fields and dimensions, a general and scientific structure must be exploited which in accordance with facts of existence from the universe and of human being. this research believes that this general structure along with its entire steps, resources and the foundations of every single one of those steps has been di...

In this paper, the unsteady oscillatory flows of a generalized Burgers’ fluid in a rotating frame are investigated. The constitutive equations of the generalized Burgers’ fluid are used in the mathematical formulation of the problem. The solutions are obtained by using the Laplace transform method. The graphical results are displayed and discussed for various parameters of interest. It is found...

Fault detection, fault isolation and fault diagnosis are addressed within a statistical framework. The corresponding inference problems are stated. Several statistical tools for solving these inference problems are described. Particular emphasis is put on dealing with nuisance parameters and deciding between multiple hypotheses. How to use these tools for solving FDI problems is discussed. An e...

It is well-known that thermal leptogenesis through the decays of the lightest righthanded neutrinos encounters serious difficulties when SO(10)-inspired mass conditions are imposed on the Dirac neutrino mass matrix and light neutrino masses are generated through the type I see-saw mechanism. We show that these can be circumvented when the production from the next-to-lightest right-handed neutri...
