Incrementality is a widely held assumption that constrains the language processor to parse the input words from left to right, and to carry out a semantic interpretation of the partial structures (Marslen-Wilson, 1973). The detailed specification of the incremental syntactic process is often addressed by assuming a parsimonious version of incrementality that we can call strong connectivity (Sta...

conclusions the application of natural honey is effective in managing and preventing radiation-induced stomatitis in patients with head and neck cancers. results the results showed that severe stomatitis in groups of honey, chamomile and control was 0, 5.7%, and 17.6%, respectively. on the 14th day, it was 0, 0, and 17.6%, respectively. there were significant differences between the three group...

introduction xerostomia is one of side-effects of radiotherapy for head and neck cancers. no definitive method has been proposed for the treatment of this condition. however, pilocarpine is considered effective for the management of chronic xerostomia. the purpose of the present study was to assess the preventive effect of pilocarpine. materials and methods this study was performed on 34 patien...

To resolve insufficient traditional bolt supports due to the complexity of geological conditions, optimal design an expanded head was investigated by using theoretical calculations and experiments. The results show that drawing capacity is affected bearing front rear ends, side capacity, friction resistance. For a circular anchor bolt, stepped semi-ellipsoidal with increase in section’s radius,...

It is widely accepted that the split between restrictive and nonrestrictive relatives generally coincides with their asymmetric contribution to discourse: restrictive relatives contribute content that is part of the main assertion of the sentence, while nonrestrictive relatives contribute content that is backgrounded or supplementary to the content of the main clause. Recent studies (Huddleston...

In anchor modeling, each speaker utterance is represented as a fixed-length location vector in the space of reference speakers by scoring against a set of anchor models. SVMbased speaker verification systems using the anchor location representation have been studied in previously reported work with promising results. In this paper, linear combination weights in reference speaker weighting (RSW)...

In general, building and validating a certification path connecting a trust anchor to a target can be a very timeconsuming process. As such, any optimizations are valuable. Certification paths are commonly built from the target to the trust anchor (“building in the forward direction”) or from the trust anchor to the target (“building in the reverse direction”). This paper presents a comparison ...
