One job of the ellipsis theorist is to characterize the connection between the syntax of ellipsis and its semantics. And a central goal of that task is to explain where it is that ellipses are possible. The most thorough examination of what’s involved in meeting this goal is probably Lobeck (1995), where it is proposed that heads with certain properties license the ellipsis of their complements...

Mary Lyon discovered X-inactivation — the process that enables female mammals to avoid genetic overdose by randomly switching off one X chromosome in each of their cells — some 40 years ago. In the past 20 years, she has received six awards in recognition of this discovery, including the recently announced Wolf Prize in medicine, worth US$ 100,000. At 71, Lyon will use the award to continue her...

Speed from recycling n page 545, Strachan and Condic show that neural crest cells (NCCs) can be speedy if they remember to recycle receptors. The speed gained from their conservation efforts may expose them to differentiation pathways that other NCCs miss out on. Populations of NCCs differ in their speed on various matrices. Cranial NCCs, for instance, pick up speed on higher concentrations on ...

This introduction summarizes the main contributions of this special issue titled “Quiet Politics and Power Business: New Perspectives in an Era Noisy Politics.” The four articles use extend Culpepper’s influential concept “quiet politics” according to which business is able shape policies regulations when issues are low salience public politicians. takes analysis further ways that respond rise ...

the electrical conductivity of the earth is its physical parameter, which can be studied in global scales. the investigations of the earth's electrical conductivity are based on geomagnetic field variations. time variations of the geomagnetic field consist of long-term and short-term (transient) variations. external sources induce electric currents into the earth. the induced electric curr...

A frequent problem in active noise control is that the zone of quiet created at the error sensor tends to be very small. This means that the error sensor generally needs to be located close to an observer's ear, which might not always be a convenient or feasible solution. Virtual sensing is a method that can move the zone of quiet away from the error sensor to a desired location that is spatial...
