case Abstract case is defined using the two given relational features. These are assigned to the ‘thematic roles’ according to their relative position in the semantic form. Once [+HR] and [+LR] have been assigned, the rest can be assigned implicationally. (29) show: λz λy λx [x CAUSE [CAN [y SEE z]]] –HR –HR +HR +LR –LR –LR With the highest and lowest roles identified, all other roles must be m...

Objective(s):Estrogen (E2) has neuroprotective effects on blood-brain-barrier (BBB) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). In order to investigate the roles of estrogen receptors (ERs) in these effects, ER-α antagonist (MPP) and, ER-β antagonist (PHTPP), or non-selective estrogen receptors antagonist (ICI 182780) were administered. Materials and Methods: Ovariectomized rats were divided into 10 gr...

As the public sector has modernised and sought to become more efficient and cost-effective, the effective and strategic management of people has received increasing prominence and there have been calls for the HR function to play a more strategic role. However, not much is known about whether the role of the HR function has changed substantively. In this paper, we present empirical evidence fro...

Background: Previous studies have shown increases in endothelin (ET) concentration of plasma and renal tissues in acute renal failure (ARF).  ET has a potent vasoconstrictor effect, through binding with its ETA receptors, and may play some roles in renal hemodynamic dysfunction in ARF.Objective: To examine the beneficial effect of a selective ETA-receptor antagonist on renal dysfunction and tis...

Case is defined by the positive values [+H(ighest) R(ole)], [+L(owest) R(ole)], which are assigned to the Th-roles according to their relative position on the Th-role hierarchy (itself a projection of semantic form). (25) a. [+HR] is assigned to the highest role. b. [+LR] is assigned to the lowest role. Our notion of abstract Case resembles GB’s in that it is a syntactically assigned feature co...
