Several proposals have been suggested to account for (non-)application t-liaison. It has proposed that its application determined by distribution spell-out domain Jordanian Arabic (Jaradat, appear), maximal syntactic projectio...

A. Cosmological proof of the Existence of God In the 3rd Meditation, Descartes attempts to prove that God (i) exists, (ii) is the cause of the essence of the meditator (i.e. the author of his nature as a thinking thing), and (iii) the cause of the meditator's existence (both as creator and conserver, i.e. the cause that keeps him in existence from one moment to the next). The proof that God exi...

We introduce the role Liaison for design study projects. With considerable expertise in visualization and the application domain, a Liaison can help to foster richer and more effective interdisciplinary communication in problem characterization, design, and evaluation processes. We characterize this role, provide a list of tasks of Liaison and visualization experts, and discuss concrete benefit...

A total of 1628 human plasma samples from Cycle 1 of the Canadian Health Measures Survey were assayed for total 25-hydroxyvitamin D using the DiaSorin RIA method and the Diasorin “LIAISON 25 OH Vitamin D Total” method. Bland-Altman comparison showed an average bias of 4.8 ± 16.7 nmol/L (6.3%: P<0.001) with the LIAISON method giving higher values. The relationship was investigated using linear a...

In three experiments, Christian religious adherents were asked to evaluate a series of statements for which core intuitions about per...

This paper looks at the different hiatus resolution strategies in potential cases of /r/-liaison in nonrhotic English. Potential contexts of /r/-liaison were identified in a corpus of BBC newscasts and analysed auditorily and acoustically for the occurrence of /r/-liaison, glottal stops, creaky voice or hiatus. The results show that /r/-liaison is a common hiatus-breaking strategy although ther...

Recent advances in our knowledge of mental illness have not lr*ade it any easier to reconcile this suffering with a belief in Cod. As long as all mental illness could be ascribed to evil spirits the Question of God's responsibility was not so great. The dichotomy of ^?d and the devil did give, as it were, a working solution to the problem although it did not give any final answer. The very idea of

OBJECTIVE The present study explored the role of the emotional experience of God (i.e., positive and negative God images) in the happiness of chronic pain (CP) patients. Framed in the transactional model of stress, we tested a model in which God images would influence happiness partially through its influence on disease interpretation as a mediating mechanism. We expected God images to have bot...

PHILOSOPHY Ever since the time of Pascal men have feared that the 'God' worshipped by believers and the 'God' contemplated by philosophers were somehow different. The former was personal, historically active, slow to anger and plentiful in mercy: the latter was dubiously able to be described in personal terms at all, and infinite in such a way as to baffle the imagination. The 'God' of the form...
