Several Germanic languages use correlatives to mark subordination. German is considered to be a prime example of a language realizing correlative constructions to embed finite argument clauses. This paper discusses complex clausal constructions in German that can be identified by a so-called correlative nominal element es (‘it’) and a right-peripheral full clausal argument that is linked to es....

Transport if loaded uclear transporters can be viewed as taxis that move cargo across the nuclear envelope. On page 649, Plafker et al. report that importin-11, a nuclear transport receptor , may be an especially selective cabbie. Importin-11 transports UbcM2, a ubiquitin (Ub)-conjugating enzyme, but it does so only when the enzyme is charged with a Ub at its active site. UbcM2 is an E2 enzyme,...

Purpose: Electrotherapy is a common intervention for the rehabilitation of Bell’s palsy. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and electrical stimulation (ES) are two therapeutic interventions for Bell’s palsy that have been proven to be superior to conventional treatments. To date, no clinical trial has compared the effectiveness of these two interventions. This pilot study aims to compare the effect...

One of the most widely used technique to obtain transient measures is the uni-formization method. However, although uniformization have many advantages, the computational cost required to calculate transient probabilities are very large for stii models. We study eecient solutions that can be applied to an approximate method developed for calculating transient state probabilities of Markov model...

We consider the smoothing problem for multiscale stochastic models based on the wavelet transform. These models involve processes indexed by the nodes of a dyadic tree. Each level of the dyadic tree represents one scale or resolution of the process, thus moving upward on the tree divides the resolution by 2 while moving downward multiplies it by 2. The processes are built according to a recursi...

The algorithms and implementation of an integrated SAR processor designed to process multi-frequency SAR data from either polarimetric, interferometric or mixed mode (a combination of polarimetric and interferometric modes) SAR systems is described. The processor is designed to automatically produce co-registered multi-frequency images regardless of the data collection mode at different frequen...
