Abstract In this experiment, 62 university students, native speakers of Italian living in Northern Italy, were asked to choose between two nearly identical sentences featuring intransitive verbs which, according the literature, can take either auxiliary (AUX) essere “be” or avere “have” compound tenses. A binary logistic regression showed that for 40% time, participants preferred one AUX over o...

Thirteen enantiopure paddlewheel-shaped dirhodium(II) tetrakiscarboxylate complexes have been checked for their efficiency in the dirhodium method (differentiation of enantiomers by NMR spectroscopy); six of them are new. Their diastereomeric dispersion effects were studied and compared via so-called key numbers KN. Adducts of each complex were tested with five different test ligands representi...

BACKGROUND An advantage of using silver fluoride treatments for carious primary teeth in outreach programs especially where dental resources are limited is that the treatments can be carried out by dental auxiliaries. One limitation to date is that assessments of lesion status have been based on a tactile test where a sharp probe or explorer is drawn across the surface of a lesion to assess its...

In 1985 Stephens et al.1 predicted an oversupply of orthodontists and yet only 13 years later the Task Group for Orthodontics identified a shortfall and recommended a target of 480 general dental service specialist practitioners for the UK. This wide ranging and perspicacious report took into accou...

Combining ideas from Donald Davidson, Hans Reichenbach and Discourse Representation Theory (DRT), I will develop a constraint-based semantics for the Dutch tenses and temporal auxiliaries which is fully integrated in the HPSG framework. The semantics will be inspired to a large extent by DRT, but the syntax is squarely based on the lexicialist surface-oriented approach of HPSG, and so is the tr...

In Polish, normally follow auxiliaries, but discontinuous structures occur if required by the information structure. We investigate occurrence evaluation adjacent patterns relation to (a) chronological age at testing (b) onset acquisition majority language, German. Ther...
