Quantification over individuals seems to be all we need to capture the covariation in (1a). It has been proposed within the framework of situation semantics (Kratzer 1989) that there can also be quantification over situations. The most convincing case is that of quantificational adverbs (Berman 1987, Heim 1990, von Fintel 1994)—I will be assuming in this paper that the correct analysis of these...

BACKGROUND Fractional expired nitric oxide (FENO ) is decreased after exercise. The effect of exercise in the cold upon FENO is unknown. PURPOSE To examine changes in FENO after a short, high intensive exercise test in a cold and in a temperate environment. METHODS Twenty healthy well-trained subjects (eight females) aged 18-28 years performed an 8-min exercise test at 18°C (SD = 1.0) and -...

Contemporary models of eating disorders suggest that interpersonal problems contribute to the maintenance of eating disorders. This study examined whether baseline interpersonal problems differed across eating disorder diagnoses and across eating disorder subtypes ("restrictors" vs. "binge-purge" patients) in a large clinical sample. Patients with a primary eating disorder diagnosis (N=406) com...

Anorexia nervosa (AN) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are highly comorbid, and appear to share a common neurophysiological dysfunction that contributes to the obsessional thoughts and compulsive behaviours seen in both disorders. Obsessive-compulsive personality (OCP) traits are also important risk factors for AN. Since excessive exercise has also been associated with greater obsessiona...

A probe has been designed, constructed, and successfully used to inject methane into the DIII-D lower divertor in a manner imitating natural release by chemical erosion. This porous plug injector (PPI) probe consists of a self-contained gas reservoir with an integrated pressure gauge and a 3 cm diameter porous surface through which gas is injected into the lower divertor of the tokamak. The pro...

APOBEC3G (CEM15 ) deaminates cytosine to uracil in nascent retroviral cDNA. The potency of this cellular defense is evidenced by a dramatic reduction in viral infectivity and the occurrence of high frequencies of retroviral genomic-strand G --> A transition mutations. The overwhelming dinucleotide hypermutation preference of APOBEC3G acting upon a variety of model retroviral substrates is 5'-GG...

The daily sample collection protocol of the sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆) tracer technique for the estimation of methane (CH₄) emissions from ruminants may not be practical under extensive grazing systems. Here, under controlled conditions, we evaluated extended periods of sampling as an alternative to daily sample collections. Eight rumen-fistulated cows were housed and fed lucerne silage to achi...

BACKGROUND The management of prosthetic joint infection is complex and there is a lack of standardisation of approaches. We evaluated the role of plain film radiography in predicting prosthesis failure after the first stage of a two-stage revision procedure in a retrospective case-control study. METHODS Plain films for 41 patients aged 46 to 87 years (mean 69) were assessed by two musculoskel...
