In this contribution we will address the main puzzling empirical issues that have been formulated around Free Indirect Discourse (FID): the constraints on the use of first person pronouns and of proper names (as well as of definite descriptions), the reasons why different grammatical features (person, gender, number) give rise to presuppositions that must be resolved at different levels of inte...

Under the appropriate separation conditions the pulsed discharge helium ionization detector (PDHID) was used to detect hydrogen and methane separated from the matrix components of human breath samples. The sensitivity of this method is over an order of magnitude better than published methods using a flame ionization detector (FID) and a thermal conductivity detector (TCD), and has the further a...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is highly susceptible to subject’s motion and can significantly degrade image quality. In brain MRI exams, involuntary headmovements can affect the sampled k-space data. Such unintended alterations may result in visible image artifacts such as blurring, ghosting and others, and therefore potentially disqualify the image fromdiagnostic purposes. Methods to charac...

Phillips SA, Hatoum OA, Gutterman DD. The mechanism of flowinduced dilation in human adipose arterioles involves hydrogen peroxide during CAD. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 292: H93–H100, 2007. First published October 13, 2006; doi:10.1152/ajpheart.00819.2006.— Flow-induced dilation (FID) is an important physiological stimulus that regulates tissue blood flow and is mediated by endotheliumder...

abstract: acrylamide is a chemical compound that has been widely used since the last century for various applications. it is also formed from carbohydrate and amino acid containing foods by application of heat particularly in fried potato products, coffee and bread. since bread is one of the primary foods of iranian people, the determination of acrylamide content in bread might be considered im...
