This paper defends the thesis that in German all sentential arguments occurring in sentenceinitial position have undergone obligatory left dislocation. This implies that the Vorfeld is unable to be occupied by sentential arguments. The resumptive pronoun that immediately follows the left-dislocated phrase may be deleted in accordance with the conditions on Topic Drop that hold for German (cf. O...

How do people transform the surface structure of a sentence into the sentence’s intended meaning? Word order is an important cue used by people in sentence comprehension (Bates et al., 1982; Ferreira, 2003). Another important cue is the meaning of individual words (i.e. nouns and verbs) which we refer to as “content words”. In these and many approaches in sentence processing studies, the focus ...

Packet forwarding on the Internet is solely based on the destination address of packets, and it is easy to forge the source address of IP packets without affecting the delivery of the packets. To solve this problem, one can have routers check whether or not every packet comes from a correct direction based on its source address field. However, due to routing asymmetry in today’s Internet, a rou...

Timing and latency are critical design parameters in the development of a communication system. With software radio and packet based methods emerging as viable replacements for traditional static solutions, different approaches are necessary to analyze the timing characteristics of these communication environments. This paper presents important concepts for performing timing and latency profili...

Much research in recent years has focused on various routing strategies for supporting ee-cient communication in point-to-point networks. Other research has emphasized novel switching techniques, such as virtual cut-through and wormhole switching. However, little attention has been paid to the subtle interplay between routing and switching schemes. It is desirable to select routing strategies t...
