A relationship between the large deviation and quantile coupling is studied. We apply this relationship to the coupling of the sum of n i.i.d. symmetric random variables with a normal random variable, improving the classical quantile coupling inequalities (the key part in the celebrated KMT constructions) with a rate 1= p n for random variables with continuous distributions, or the same rate mo...

This article gives an introduction to the multiple Dirichlet series arising from sums of twisted automorphic L-functions. We begin by explaining how such series arise from Rankin-Selberg constructions. Then more recent work, using Hartogs’ continuation principle as extended by Bochner in place of such constructions, is described. Applications to the nonvanishing of Lfunctions and to other probl...

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE This Medical Policy provides assistance in interpreting UnitedHealthcare benefit plans. When deciding coverage, the enrollee specific document must be referenced. The terms of an enrollee's document (e.g., Certificate of Coverage (COC) or Summary Plan Description (SPD)) may differ greatly. In the event of a conflict, the enrollee's specific benefit document supersedes this ...

Background: The natural radioactivity levels in ceramic tiles produced in Turkey were determined and the related radiological hazards were assessed. Materials and Methods: The natural radioactivity levels (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) in the ceramic tiles were measured using high-purity germanium detector system (HPGe) and the related radiological hazards were assessed by radium equivalent activity (R...

Abstract Structural priming is a promising tool for testing similarity relations between constructions, but its applicability to larger-scale models of constructional networks still limited. This article outlines the following two limitations previous studies: first, they largely focus on alternating constructions; and second, often test instances same construction rather than different constru...

This article describes student nurses' constructions of health promotion and the change of these constructions during their nursing education in two Finnish polytechnics. The data consisted of essays written by the 19 student nurses before they began their nursing education in 1997 and of stimulated recall interviews with the same students during the second year of their education in 1998. The ...

Existential constructions play an important role in the development of Generative Grammar. Their special natures urge linguists to pay painstaking effort to give them a unified account. At first we have a brief review of the relevant study of these constructions and examine their strong points and weakness. On the basis of their study, we assume that in existential constructions of SVO language...

In this paper, we provide a detailed account of sentences with gapping such as “John likes tea, and Mary coffee” within the Universal Dependencies (UD) framework. We explain how common gapping constructions as well as rare complex constructions can be analyzed on the basis of examples in Dutch, English, Farsi, German, Hindi, Japanese, and Turkish. We further argue why the adopted analysis of th...

This study compares two constructions in Cantonese which shares similar features in their syntax and semantics. Previous works observe that comparatives often appear after experiential aspect in the verbal domain historically. This study builds upon this observation and argues that the similarities between two constructions, comparatives and experientials, are of formal nature and that the simi...
