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...

Purpose: Since inception in the 1970s, Operational Technology (OT) systems were designed to operate isolation from Information (IT) mainly due differences objectives relating Confidentiality, Integrity, Security and Availability (CISA). Additional diverse components include computing speed, failure severity terms of safety, environmental, financial impact. With onset Industry 4.0 need for integ...

the aim followed in the present study was to evaluate the effect of estradiol (e2) injection and injection (either intramuscular (i.m) or intravenous (i.v)) of various doses of oxytocin (ot) on cervix dilation and on conception rate in zandi ewes during late breeding season. sixty three ewes were randomly selected. in experiment 1, the ewes received 100 µl e2 and 12h later were divided and assi...
