Comparative correlative constructions (the more you run, the more you sweat) are widespread across the languages of the world (Taylor, 2006). Nonetheless, the peculiarities of this construction raise questions that challenge our understanding of the syntax of this specific construction and, more broadly, of how the core and the periphery of Universal Grammar (UG) are organized (Culicover and Ja...

Birds are responding to recent climate change in a variety of ways including shifting their geographic ranges to cooler climates. There is evidence that northern-temperate birds have shifted their breeding and non-breeding ranges to higher latitudes, and tropical birds have shifted their breeding ranges to higher altitudes. There is further evidence these shifts have affected migration strategi...

Two powerful and complementary techniques for chemical characterisation of nanoscale systems are electron energy-loss spectroscopy in the scanning transmission electron microscope, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy in the scanning transmission X-ray microscope. A correlative approach to spectro-microscopy may not only bridge the gaps in spatial and spectral resolution which exist between the tw...

We propose a novel, robust scheme for data hiding/ oblivious detection of watermarks in still images. While the low-frequency image coe cients are robust, they cannot be used e ectively for oblivious detection methods, when correlative processing is employed for detection. However, in the proposed non-linear detection method, the robust low-frequency bands can be used e ectively. Thus the propo...

Voronoi diagram and its geometric dual, the Delaunay triangulation, both are practical geometric constructions which have been applied extensively in spatial analysis. Considering the low efficiency of the algorithm of indirectly building Voronoi diagram, this paper proposes an improved Voronoi diagram generation algorithm based on Delaunay triangulation of randomly distributed points in the Eu...
