Abstract The morphological marking that distinguishes conditionals are called “counterfactual” from those not, can also be found in other modal constructions, such as the expression of wishes and oughts. We propose to call it “X-marking”. In this article, we lay out desiderata for a successful theory X-marking make some initial informal observations. Much remains done.

Robustly extracting the features of lane markings under different lighting and weather conditions such as shadows, glows, sunset and night is the a key technology of the lane departure warning system (LDWS). In this paper, we propose a robust lane marking feature extraction method. By useing the characteristics of the lane marking to detect candidate areas. The final lane marking features are e...

The an efficient packet marking technique called swapnil’s packet marking and tracebacking (SPMT) technique that requires the amount of packets equal to the hop distance between the attack initiator and the server (destination) [1], which is less than 31 hops [3] [4], and can undergo certain kind of attacks like constant ID field value, and absence of router in the network chosen for marking. I...

The marking and mating behaviour of captive hunting dogs, Lycaon pictus, is described. Urine scent-marking was the most frequent marking behaviour observed, but anal dragging, body-rolling and body-rubbing were also recorded. The mating behaviour was typical of that of Canidae but the copulatory tie in this case was of very short duration. There was a dense accumulation of sebaceous glands in t...

Assessment of a patient with probable allergic contact dermatitis caused by a tattoo ink is a difficult task, because regulations regarding the substances used as tattoo inks continue to be limited, and ink component information is difficult to access (1). Moreover, in most cases, patch testing with the culprit ink is often of little benefit. We report a case in whom patch testing with the ink ...

In heterogeneous networks such as today’s Internet, the differentiated services architecture for providing scalable service differentiation, has proved to be a practical and easily deployable method for providing Quality-of-Services. In this paper, we focus on the issue of packet marking in diffserv networks. We specifically look at developing fair aggregate markers which do not need to maintai...

Clinical application of gene therapy for genetic and malignant diseases has been limited by inefficient stem cell gene transfer. Here we studied in a clinically relevant canine model whether genetic chemoprotection mediated by a mutant of the DNA-repair enzyme methylguanine methyltransferase could circumvent this limitation. We hypothesized that genetic chemoprotection might also be used to enh...

In many languages prosody is used for marking focus, but the way this is done varies from one language to the next. Previous work on the acquisition of prosodic focus marking has been centred on English, German and Dutch, thus little is known about how prosodic focus is acquired outside West-Germanic varieties. We present a study of prosodic focus marking in Central Swedish, showing how the foc...

Research has shown that bimanual (two-handed) interfaces often provide more intuitive, efficient, and comfortable interaction than one-handed interfaces. This paper introduces a new input technique, bimanual marking menus, and compares its performance with five other techniques: static toolbars, hotkeys, grouped hotkeys, marking menus, and toolglasses. The study builds on previous work by setti...

The paper describes overt marking of information structure in the indigenous Andean language Aymara. In this paper we show that although the word order is free, Aymara is not a discourse-configurational language (Kiss, 1994); instead, information structure is expressed only morphologically by pragmatic suffixes. The marking of ‘topic’ is more flexible that the marking of ‘focus’ (be it at the c...
