This paper discusses a class of French à-infinitival constructions, where the missing direct object corresponds to an external argument, either being antecedent noun in attributive use, or else raised argument subject predication tough construction.  We investigate internal and properties these constructions show that (i) construction displays passive-like (ii) control raising verbs ma...

This study is entitled Passive Clauses Argument Structure of Give Verbs in Corpus Contemporary American English (COCA). It concerned with the argument structure which mapped to grammatical relation. aimed recognize relations passive clauses have “give verbs”. library research. The data this were taken from (COCA) clauses. To collect data, documentation method and note-taking technique applied. ...

PURPOSE To construct a taxonomy of passive behaviors for understanding people with Alzheimer's disease. Passive behaviors are those associated with decreased motor movements, decreasing interactions with the environment, and feelings of apathy and listlessness. Little is known about behaviors associated with passivity, and these behaviors have not been categorized. ORGANIZING CONSTRUCT Taxono...

Discrete and continuous measurement of indoor radon concentrations, air flow rates, and pressure differentials for passive and active operational configurations of a passive radon control system were performed at the Biotechnology Research and Development Facility of the University of Florida, in Alachua County, Florida. The system was installed during construction and incorporated an extended ...

One of major research issues associated with 3D range acquisition is the creation of sensor systems with various functionalities and small size. A variety of machine vision techniques have been developed for the determination of 3D scene geometric information from 2D images. As one of active sensors, structured lighting method has been widely used because of its robustness on the illumination n...

Themodern day practice does not give due respect to passive and natural environment control measures in buildings. With modern materials and technology, the buildings of present architectural style results in high energy consumption, in an attempt to provide thermal comfort indoors. The vernacular architecture at any place on the other hand has evolved through ages by consistent and continuous ...

This paper presents a detailed method to develop cost-optimal studies for the energy renovation of residential buildings. A realistic characterization of the building has been introduced, using measurement and survey data. The method allows improving the interaction between the occupancy and the building, and the characterization of the real state of the construction. In addition, the building ...

The idea of passive euthanasia has recently been attacked in a particularly clear and explicit way by an ‘‘Ethics Task Force’’ established by the European Association of Palliative Care (EAPC) in February 2001. It claims that the expression ‘‘passive euthanasia’’ is a contradiction in terms and hence that there can be no such thing. This paper critically assesses the main arguments for the Task...

Regenerating codes based on the approach of interference alignment for wireless interference channel achieve the cut-set bound for distributed storage systems. These codes provide data reliability, and perform efficient exact node repair when some node fails. Interference alignment as a concept is especially important to improve the repair efficiency of a failed node in a minimum storage regene...
