Because speakers do not produce uninflected or 'base' forms, and listeners do not hear them, the shape of the word lexicon in languages with highly productive word formation processes directly addresses the conflict between morphological theories which assume the primacy of word formation processes (Anderson 1992, Bybee and Moder 1983,) and theories of word recognition such as the Cohort theory...

Introductory remarks: In this note I am trying to separate out another theme in my NF consistency proof, namely the basic maneuver behind the FM construction. The advantage of this approach is that it makes it clear that the properties of the system of atoms, clans and litters constructed depend to very different degrees on the insane definition of the parent sets, which in this approach is int...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Glutamine supplementation has been associated with reduced mortality, infections and hospital length of stay in critically ill patients and patients undergoing major surgery. We carried out a meta-analysis to examine randomized clinical trial (RCT)-based evidence of these effects. METHODS Based on a systematic database search, RCTs published since 1990 were included if they ...

The recent work of [4, 11] rigorously proved (in a large dimensional and statistical context) that if the number of equations (measurements in the compressed sensing terminology) in the system is proportional to the length of the unknown vector then there is a sparsity (number of non-zero elements of the unknown vector) also proportional to the length of the unknown vector such that l1-optimiza...

In this paper a 0–1 linear programming model and a solution heuristic algorithm are developed in order to solve the so-called Master Surgical Schedule Problem (MSSP). Given a hospital department made up of different surgical units (i.e. wards) sharing a given number of Operating Rooms (ORs), the problem herein addressed is determining the assignment among wards and ORs during a given planning h...

The notion of No Free Lunch with Vanishing Risk (or NFLVR in short) w.r.t. admissible strategies depends on the choice of numeraire. Yan(1998) introduced the notion of allowable strategy and showed that condition of NFLVR w.r.t. allowable strategies is independent of the choice of numeraire and is equivalent to the existence of an equivalent martingale measure for the deflated price process. In...

Control of the grouting pressure within critical for crack propagation in Ordovician limestone can not only ensure grout penetration length, but also prevent risk creating an artificial water channel. Based on fracture mechanics theory, a formula was proposed to calculate mixed mode I-II cracks limestone. The necessary conditions tilted opening, rationality existing empirical value maximum allo...

A. In his paper [6] J. Milnor conjectured that the volume of n-dimensional hyperbolic and spherical simplices, as a function of the dihedral angles, extends continuously to the closure of the space of allowable angles. A prove of this conjecture was recently given by F. Luo ([5]). In this paper we give a simple proof of this conjecture, provemuch sharper regularity results, and then exte...

The problem of detecting the number of uncorrelated narrowband signals received by an array of sensors when the direction of arrival (DOA) and power level of each source is unknown is investigated. A multi-hypothesis generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) approach is used, resulting in a procedure which maximizes the likelihood function with respect to the number of signals and their DOAs and...

Standards have limited the allowable noise levels in different situations, requiring the study of solutions at the source, in the path or the receiver. Muffler is the major factor influencing the noise of rotary compressor. Control and analyze the acoustic characteristics of muffler is essential. Porous materials have been studied and widely applied to reduce aircraft and vehicular noise or ind...
