Paradigm gaps pose an interesting paradox in the generative capacity of native speakers. On the one hand, inflectional morphology tends to be automatic and prolifically productive, even for rare or made up words (Berko 1958; Bybee and Moder 1983). Once in a while, however, inflection fails for particular existing words. Pinker (1999) points out that even an inflectionally simple language like E...

The uniform distribution, denoted by U(x;A,B)=1/(B-A) if 0<A<x<B<∞ and zero otherwise, is the simplest probability density functions of a continuous random variable X. For X on interval (0, 1), three parameters function, h(x;A,B,n), constructed so that its limiting form function U(x;A,B) in which n→∞. 

The problem of water wave scattering by a semi-infin ite floating dock on the free surface of an ocean with variable bottom topography is considered using linear theory. By employing a perturbation analysis and using Green's integral theorem, the analytical expression for the first order reflection coefficient is obtained in terms of a computable integral involving the bottom shape function. Al...

This study was carried out to determine population structure, growth and reproduction properties of barbel. A total of 198 individuals were sampled. Ages of samples were found between I and VI years, fork lengths between 4.3 and 16.6 cm and total weights between 1.2 and 65.8 g. Length-weight relationship was calculated as W=0.0146×L2.934. Munro’s phi prime index was estimated as 1.9...

Infin ite one-dimens ional cellu lar automata are st udied using information theory. The average informat ion per cell is divided into cont ribut ions from different correlation lengths and random vari ations (measure entropy). It is shown that the measure entropy is no n-increasing in time for deterministic rules, and constant for ru les which are one-to-one mappings of their first or last arg...

When the extracellular pH was increased from 7.6 to 9.8, Clostridium paradoxum, a novel alkalithermophile, increased its pH gradient across the cell membrane ((Delta)pH, pH(infin) - pH(infout)) by as much as 1.3 U. At higher pH values (>10.0), the (Delta)pH and membrane potential ((Delta)(psi)) eventually declined, and the intracellular pH increased significantly. Growth ceased when the extrace...
