The goal of this paper is to motivate and define a strictly incremental semantics for dynamic predicate logic (Groenendijk and Stokhof 1991). In particular, we will extend the incremental semantics for dynamic propositional logic introduced in Vermeulen (1994) to first-order predicate logic (borrowing central notions from Visser 2002). We call the resulting logical system Incremental Dynamic Pr...

Introduction / objectives Viral culture results (VCT) correlates well with the intensity of clinical services but they are not available real time. Rapid viral tests results (RVT) are available on the same day and can be used for real time predictions. This study reports the use of RVT for such prediction for a period of 145 weeks in Hong Kong (HK). Two acute hospitals successfully use them to ...

Metadiscourse markers help writers make coherent and reader- friendly texts, thus of considerable importance in academic writing. The main aim of this study was to investigate how interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers are used by Iranian EFL learners. An inquiry was carried out to investigate cross-cultural similarities and differences in the use of metadiscourse markers in the Di...

The purpose of the present study was to compare the PhD dissertations written by native and nonnative English writers in the field of Applied Linguistics with regard to the use of self-mentions. To this end, 40 Applied Linguistics PhD dissertations (20 written by native English writers and 20 by non-native English writers), were selected randomly among academic texts written in 2007-2017. The p...

The aim of this study was to detect and identify meat species (beef, lamb, pork, chicken, donkey, and horse) in Kebab as a Halal meat-based food sold in on-road-restaurants of North Khorasan province (Iran) using TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Raw Kebab samples (150 samples) were obtained from on-road restaurants. The samples were prepared, DNA was extracted and TaqMan real-t...
