In this paper, we prove Frankl's Conjecture for an upper semimodular lattice $L$ such that $|J(L)setminus A(L)| leq 3$, where $J(L)$ and $A(L)$ are the set of join-irreducible elements and the set of atoms respectively. It is known that the class of planar lattices is contained in the class of dismantlable lattices and the class of dismantlable lattices is contained in the class of lattices ha...

Contra previous uniform approaches for wh-phrases, the current paper argues that there is a clear asymmetry between in-situ argument and adjunct wh-phrases with respect to Intervention Effects (IEs) in Korean and Japanese. Based on the categorical (nominal vs. adverbial) dichotomy evidenced by structural case attachment tests and formation of complex wh-expressions, different base locations for...

Inguinal orchiopexy is a common operation performed for undescended testis. Several surgical techniques have been described to mobilize the spermatic cord and optimize the position of the testis in the scrotum. We demonstrate a novel adjunct surgical maneuver which includes stripping the distal peritoneal investments of the spermatic cord to achieve additional length in cases when dependent scr...

I present and argue for a theory of adjuncts according to which, their respective hosts are derived as separate, parallel objects that not combined until forced by the process linearization. I formalize notion workspace, workspace-based operation MERGE. Finally, show this approach naturally accounts...

Because zinc deficiency induces depression and anxiety-like behavior in rodents, we examined the effects of zinc administration in several tests by measuring anxiolytic activity in mice and rats. We now report that zinc significantly increased the number of entries into the open arms in the elevated plus maze in rats. Moreover, zinc treatment significantly increased the number of punished cross...

The changes in serum concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), a1-acid glycoprotein (AAG,) and serum amyloid A (SAA), in dogs and cats with cancer were investigated. On initial examination, serum concentrations of CRP and AAG showed elevated levels in dogs with cancer. On the other hand, serum concentrations of SAA in cats with cancer were below the detection limit, and AAG was only elevated ...

Abstract Japanese has a deletion operation, called argument ellipsis, that targets arguments (Oku in A theory of selection and reconstruction the minimalist program, 1998). The operation does not apply to adjuncts, thus, adjuncts are unelidable. Funakoshi (J East Asian Linguist 25(2):113–42, 2016), following footsteps Otani Whitman (Linguist Inquiry 22:345–58, 1991), argues can be elided when V...

Background: For treatment of severe alcohol withdrawal syndrome, high dose benzodiazepines (BZDs) may cause delirium and over-sedation. Phenobarbital (PBT) is a long-acting barbiturate effective for the treatment of alcohol withdrawal. Given the potential benefits of PBT, we sought to investigate the effectiveness of PBT as adjunctive treatment for alcohol withdrawal. Methods: This was a retros...
