Recent has begun to show systematic connections between social information and pragmatic reasoning. These findings raise the question of whether shapes comprehenders' assessments correctness linguistic description in light a single known determined fact. We explore this by testing impact speaker identity on T(ruth)-V(alue) J(udgment)s based interpretation number words. find that imprecise state...

Yet if Microsoft can dispel DOJ's concerns by offering an inferior product, at no reduction in price, which consumers will likely reject, then the government's position is quite simply unfathomable. In the end, consumers and taxpayers will foot the bill for this legal fiasco. More important, government micromanagement will chill innovation. ______________________________________________________...

Abstract Initially, international investment law and on the protection of marine environment were two branches that developed separately. As these regimes mature, they often speak to same facts, bringing about their ever-increasing normative interaction, way before any disputes arise. The regulation investments in offshore energy production is chosen as a case study because it exemplifies how b...

On a few occasions during the summer and fall of 2002, and again in the fall of 2003, the Colorado State University (CSU)–University of Chicago–Illinois State Water Survey (CHILL) S-band polarimetric Doppler radar observed dumbbell-shaped radar echo patterns in precipitation-free air returns. Dumbbell shaped refers to two distinct and quasi-symmetrical regions of echo surrounding the radar. The...

This paper presents a method to retrieve raindrop size distributions (DSD) from slant profile dualpolarization Doppler spectra observations. It is shown that using radar measurements taken at a high elevation angle raindrop size distributions can be retrieved without making an assumption on the form of a DSD. In this paper it is shown that drop size distributions can be retrieved from Doppler p...

Reducing the heart's temperature by 2-5°C is a potent cardioprotective treatment in animal models of coronary artery occlusion. The anti-infarct benefit depends upon the target temperature and the time at which cooling is instituted. Protection primarily results from cooling during the ischaemic period, whereas cooling during reperfusion or beyond offers little protection. In animal studies, pr...

It is well known that toxic substances, probably derivatives of bacterial protein ( 1), frequently appear in improperly distilled water. A dramatic and often potentially dangerous syndrome of chill and fever (pyrogenic reaction), occasionally complicated by peripheral circulatory collapse, follows the intravenous administration of solutions contaminated with these substances. A marked increase ...

Chilling is a critical step in poultry processing to attain high-quality meat and to meet the USDA-Food Safety and Inspection Service temperature standards. This study was conducted to determine the effects of commercially available chilling systems on quality and safety of broiler meat. A total of 300 carcasses in 2 replications were randomly selected from a commercial processor and subjected ...

Protecta II, an herbal extract on an NaCl carrier, was evaluated in a 30-min, 1 C simulated chill for its effectiveness of lowering microbial counts on broiler carcasses. Eighteen broiler carcasses were obtained from a local processing plant after final wash but before chill, placed into an insulated container, and transported to the research facility for treatment. Six plant run controls (PRC)...
