Sloppy Identity
Although sloppy interpretation is usually accounted for by theories of ellipsis, it often arises in non-elliptical contexts. In this paper, a theory of sloppy interpretation is provided which captures this fact. The underlying idea is that sloppy interpretation results from a semantic constraint on parallel structures and the theory is shown to predict sloppy readings for deaccented and paychec...
متن کاملA Selectable Sloppy Heap
We study the selection problem, namely that of computing the ith order statistic of n given elements. Here we offer a data structure called selectable sloppy heap handling a dynamic version in which upon request: (i) a new element is inserted or (ii) an element of a prescribed quantile group is deleted from the data structure. Each operation is executed in (ideal!) constant time— and is thus in...
متن کاملAncient gene paralogy may mislead inference of plastid phylogeny.
Because of its ancient origin more than 1 billion years ago, the highly reduced plastid genomes of Plantae (e.g., plant chloroplasts) provide limited insights into the initial stages of endosymbiont genome reduction. The photosynthetic amoeba Paulinella provides a more useful model to study this process because its alpha-cyanobacterium-derived plastid originated ∼60 Ma and the genome still cont...
متن کاملGene Editing Versus Morphants
Kok et al. conclude that results with Morpholino oligos, which are not recapitulated by natural mutations or gene editing mutations, must be due to off-target effects and, when morphants and mutants differ, they contend that antisense oligo studies should be disregarded. Morpholinos and gene editing mutagenesis are very different technologies and, even if both work perfectly, may yield differen...
متن کاملSorting Sloppy Sonic
In the classic picture of morphogen-mediated patterning, cells acquire the correct spatial arrangement of specified fates by reading a precisely distributed gradient of morphogen. Xiong et al. now provide evidence for an alternate strategy-cells of the zebrafish neural tube actively sort to their correct positions following disordered specification by Sonic hedgehog.
