This chapter describes nominal constructions in the Central variety of Taleshi (Northwestern Iranian). In Taleshi, noun phrases and majority adpositional are head-final. Some modifiers as well complement postpositions linked to head phrase by a linking element––known Reverse Ezafe (Stilo 2004). this chapter, we show that appearing with possessors adpositions is different from attributive adject...

BACKGROUND Surgical site marking is one important cornerstone for the principles of safe surgery suggested by the WHO. Generally it is recommended that the attending surgeon performs the surgical site marking. Particularly in the case of same day surgery, this recommendation is almost not feasible. Therefore we systematically monitored, whether surgical site marking can be performed by trained ...

It has long been believed across languages that the Agent-First strategy, a comprehension heuristic maps first noun onto agent role, is general cognitive bias which applies automatically and faithfully to children's comprehension. The present study asks how this strategy interplays with such grammatical cues as number of overt arguments presence case-marking in Korean, an SOV language by dedica...

1. INTRODUCTION. In this paper I examine the relationship between case marking and S, A, and O in spoken Sinhala. I will demonstrate that case roles are not assigned on the basis of grammatical relations, but rather they depend on a series of semantic and lexical principles including volitivity, animacy, semantic roles, and definiteness. This paper will furthermore provide evidence for S, A, an...

AIMS To examine the overall organisation of a voluntary external quality assurance scheme in histopathology, selection of case material and marking systems; and to assess the scheme in relation to contemporary histopathological practice. METHODS Case material was derived from all participating departments and a positive marking system was used throughout the scheme. RESULTS The mean respons...

Laser marking is the modern industrial application for non-contact surface modification. An incidence of a laser beam on the marked surface causes material and structural changes, which lead to optical changes of the surface. The processes during the laser-surface interaction can also affect other surface properties, especially corrosion properties in the case of stainless steel. Laser marking ...

This paper deals with the on-line monitoring of large systems modeled as Petri Nets under partial observation. The plant observation is given by a subset of transitions whose occurrence is (always) acknowledged by emitting a label received by the monitoring agent at the time of the occurrence. Other transitions not in this subset are silent (unobservable). Usually on-line applications require t...
