We examine noun phrases and predication in Khoekhoe, a Central Khoisan language, arguing that members of all open word classes can function equally and without derivation as predicates, and that predicative use is primary and referential use is derived syntactically by relativization. We then present a formal HPSG analysis, in which members of all open word classes enter the syntax as predicate...

This paper investigates the properties of syntactic edges, with special attention being paid to two central issues in cyclic syntax: the domain and the nature of cyclicity. This paper argues for the premise that predication domains form a Spell-out domain, and that Spell-out results in order preservation of the predication domain. It is shown that elements externally merged at the edge of a pre...

With the fast advance of big data technology and analytics solutions, building high-quality big data computing services in different application domains is becoming a very hot research and application topic among academic and industry communities, and government agencies. Therefore, big data based applications are widely-used currently, such as recommendation, predication, and decision system. ...

dysmenorrhea is among the most common gynecological complaints. there are several mechanisms which initiate dysmenorrhea. therefore, different compounds can be employed to control its symptoms. nsaids such as ibuprofen are highly used in modern medicine to relieve the pain in short-term therapy. this method is not acceptable for long-term therapy due to side effects. our previous data showed th...

Predication facilitates high-bandwidth fetch and large static scheduling regions, but has typically been too complex to implement comprehensively in out-of-order microarchitectures. This paper describes dataflow predication, which provides per-instruction predication in a dataflow ISA, low predication computation overheads similar to VLIW ISAs, and low complexity out-of-order issue. A twobit fi...

This paper presents a novel predication scheme that was applied to a SIMD system-on-chip. This approach was devised by improving and combining the unrestricted predication model and the guarded execution model. It is shown that significant execution autonomy is added to the SIMD processing elements and that the code size is reduced considerably. Finally, the implemented predication scheme is co...
