Disjunctive expressions in Japanese coordinated with "ka" get either "or"-reading or "and"-reading depending on the situations in which the utterance takes place. This is comparable to some extent to the English counterparts with "or". In this paper, we will examine some cases where the same string of words gets different readings depending on the situations involved. We argue that the differen...

This research examines the trading correlation between VOT and F0 in the production and perception of the three-way distinction of Korean stops and affricates, namely, lenis, aspirated, and fortis, in the word-initial position. For this research, I conducted production and perception tests. For the production test, two female and two male native speakers of Seoul Korean recorded a monosyllabic ...

The assumption of [HM] and our assumption here, the existence of a strong partition cardinal, is moderately special. On the one hand, it violates the Axiom of Choice and is not relatively consistent with ZF (unlike AC and its negation). On the other hand, under the Axiom of Determinacy (AD), such cardinals are abundant and consistent with countable choice and DC, the principle of Dependent Choi...

In situ cosmogenic Be exposure dating, radiocarbon determinations, salt and sediment geochemistry, and rock weathering observations indicate that parts of Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica have been subaerially exposed throughout much of the last glacial cycle, with the last glaciation occurring prior to 100 ka BP. Salt-enhanced subaerial weathering, coupled with a paucity of glacial erratics, m...

and Applied Analysis 3 It is obvious that ka ∈ A2 D and 〈ka, ka〉 ∫

It is shown that for any positive integers k and w there exists a constant N = N(k, w) such that every 7-connected graph of tree-width less than w and of order at least N contains K3,k as a minor. Similar result is proved for Ka,k minors where a is an arbitrary fixed integer and the required connectivity depends only on a. These are the first results of this type where fixed connectivity forces...

Cosmogenic 3He and 10Be ages measured on surface boulders from the moraine sequence deposited by the northern outlet glacier of the Yellowstone ice cap indicate that the outlet glacier reached its terminal position at 16.5 6 0.4 3He ka and 16.2 6 0.3 10Be ka, respectively. Concordance of these ages supports the scaled production rates used for 3He (118.6 6 6.6 atoms · g21 · yr21) and 10Be (5.1 ...

For long, widely divergent views (based on isolated pieces of historical evidence or broad geological evolution of the subcontinent, notably the rise of the Himalayas in mid-late Miocene), had prevailed regarding origin and antiquity of the Thar Desert. Studies of the past few decades have since provided a wealth of new information on landform styles, evolutionary processes and palaeoclimate hi...

The paper addresses limitations of strictly interactive theories of videogame genre, proposes a supplementary, historicist inter-media alternative, and interprets the videogame Ka as a ludic worked based in the shomin-geki tradition of Japanese cinema.
