Empirical results on the meaning of accented pronouns often conflict. This is a problem for formal semantic models. In this paper, we intend to broaden the empirical basis of two of these models. First, in a corpus study, we checked whether properties of the antecedent influence whether a pronoun is be accented. We found that pronouns with NP antecedents are more likely to be accented than thos...

Although 'attitude change' is included as one of the aims of the 1982 training syllabus for psychiatric nurses, curriculum designers are given little guidance as to what constitute desirable attitudes in the psychiatric nurse, and how those attitudes are to be assessed and evaluated. This study has three aims: to attempt to outline what might count as desirable attitudes; to propose a theoretic...

Helium atoms bind strongly to alkali cations which, when embedded in liquid helium, form so-called snowballs. Calculations suggest that helium atoms in the first solvation layer of these snowballs form rigid structures and that their number (n) is well defined, especially for the lighter alkalis. However, experiments have so far failed to accurately determine values of n. We present high-resolu...

To paraphrase Cole Porter's famous 1926 song, "What is this thing called pain? This funny thing called pain, just who can solve its mystery?" Pain, like love, is all consuming: when you have it, not much else matters, and there is nothing you can do about it. Unlike love, however, we are actually beginning to tease apart the mystery of pain. The substantial progress made over the last decade in...

Higher education (HE) in Germany and the United Kingdom is being continually subjected to the discipline of market forces. An empirical study was conducted using questionnaires with academic staff in twelve institutions in each country to discover the extent to which their values and attitudes were converging, and were in keeping with what might be expected within a marketized system. Academics...
