The discovery of general patterns and their subsequent explanation is a familiar method in linguistics and other cross-cultural research. This paper addresses the computerized enumeration of significant cultural and linguistic patterns, specifically implicational universals. We dispute published suggestions that the mechanical generation of universals is inadvisable, by arguing that such claims...

Typically, to study the effects of consecutive earthquakes, it is necessary to consider definite intensity levels of the first shock. Methods commonly used to define intensity involve scaling the first shock to a specified maximum interstorey drift. In this study the structure’s predefined elastic spectral acceleration caused by the first shock is also considered for scaling. This study aims to...

In this article, I discuss the so-called implicational and-construction and show how it can be derived under Minimalist assumptions. e major challenge is to nd a way to account for the subordinate and the coordinate properties of this construction at the same time. e crucial idea behind the analysis is that the asymmetric syntax of coordination enables the transformation of a subordinate struc...

This is the continuation of the paper [4]. We continue the abstract study of non-classical logics based on the kind of generalized implication connectives they possess and we focus on semilinear logics, i.e. those that are complete with respect to the class of models where the implication defines a linear order. We obtain general characterizations of semilinearity in terms of the intersection-p...

abstract: background and aim:  micro-ultrasonic tips are similar to hand instruments in their clinical application of subgingival scaling.  in spite of their favorable results, excessive penetration of mini-insert ultrasonic scalers to the bottom of gingival pocket may cause harmful effects. the aim of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of root instrumentation with gracey curettes ...

asphaltene instability is one of the major problems in gas injection projects throughout the world. numerous models have been developed to predict asphaltene precipitation; the scaling equation is an attractive tool because of its simplicity and not involving complex properties of asphaltene. in this work, a new scaling model is presented to account  for asphaltene precipitation due to gas inje...

introduction: corrosion and scaling of water in distribution systems in spite of imposing economic and aesthetic problems can lead to adverse effects on consumers' health. the present study was conducted to evaluate the corrosion and scaling of water distribution system of sarableh city (ilam, iran) during summer and winter seasons in 2014. materials and methods: totally, 60 samples of wat...

background & aims of the study: corrosion and scaling play undesirable effects on transmission and distribution system of drinking water. the aim of this study was to assess the corrosion and scaling potential of drinking water resources in babol city, iran. materials and methods: totally, 54 water samples were collected from 27 wells in spring and autumn. calcium hardness, ph, total alkalinity...

The research is aimed at identifying the specifics of ana (mother -Kazakh)/mat’ (mother-Russian)/mother semantic broadening in Kazakh, Russian and English languages. componential analysis method lexicalized word definitions used to do this. It has been revealed that they present a prototype mother markers, as well “woman”, “giving birth”, “raising”, “single-generation” distinguishers, which pro...
