INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE This Medical Policy provides assistance in interpreting UnitedHealthcare benefit plans. When deciding coverage, the enrollee specific document must be referenced. The terms of an enrollee's document (e.g., Certificate of Coverage (COC) or Summary Plan Description (SPD)) may differ greatly. In the event of a conflict, the enrollee's specific benefit document supersedes this ...

The paper is dealing with two important subclasses of plateaued functions: bent and semi-bent functions. In the first part of the paper, we construct mainly bent and semi-bent functions in the Maiorana-McFarland class using Boolean functions having linear structures (linear translators) systematically. Although most of these results are rather direct applications of some recent results, using l...

We show that deformed Heisenberg algebra with reflection emerging in parabosonic constructions is also related to parafermions. This universality is discussed in different algebraic aspects and is employed for the description of spin-j fields, anyons and supersymmetry in 2+1 dimensions.

This study examines prosodic transfer effects in the production of three contrastive English stress patterns at the level of word and phrase prosody by Vietnamese learners of English. Both languages employ distinctive patterns of pitch (F0) and intensity prominence to signal contrasts between otherwise homophonous compound and phrasal constructions, though reversed in headedness (English: black...

In this paper we examine the development of passive participles in the spontaneous speech of seven English speaking children. We argue that the grammatical properties which distinguish passive participles as a category emerge gradually and are learned as motivated properties of a complex, polysemous construction. The data reveals a regular progression from early adjectival uses to true verbal p...

This paper explores a novel analysis of adjectives in the comparative and the positive based on the notion of a trope, rather than the notion of a degree. Tropes are particularized properties, concrete manifestations of properties in individuals. The point of departure is that a sentence like John is happier than Mary is intuitively equivalent to ‘John’s happiness exceeds Mary’s happiness’, a s...

Is there anything interesting to be said about the semantics of possessives? Consider the English Saxon genitive DP John’s dog. The meaning conveyed by this DP depends on the meaning of the nouns John and dog: the actual denotation of John’s dog cannot be determined unless the denotations of John and dog are known. Still, knowing the meaning of John’s dog does not amount simply to knowing who J...

We provide several constructions of self-affine probability measures on the unit square with uniform marginals. These constructions include and extend constructions of previous authors and are parameterized in a natural way. In addition, for each different construction we determine the dimension of the parameter space and thus the level of flexibility (for instance, for approximation purposes) ...

This article studies the function of Copular Predicate Constructions in everyday English conversation. We compare predicate adjective constructions (PA) and with a nominal containing an (PAN). ask whether attributive or presence noun PAN leads to difference two constructions. propose that most cases determines construction, leading many parallels usage between PA A comparison (PN), contrast, sh...

This paper discusses the word order of object shift and so-called subject shift constructions in Norwegian child language. Corpus data from young children (up to the age of approximately 3) show that they produce non-target-consistent word order in these contexts, failing to move pronominal subjects and objects across negation or sentence adverbs. Furthermore, the findings show that target-like...
