Broadly speaking, subject relative clauses are easier to understand than object relative clauses (Wanner & Maratsos, 1978, Ford, 1983, Holmes & O'Regan, 1981, among many others). This can be demonstrated by a variety of methods that measure the speed and accuracy with which sentences containing relative clauses are processed. As an example, compare (1a), which contains a subject relative clause...

Much research has focused upon the dynamics of the conditional volatility of financial asset returns. Broadly speaking there are two important features of the process underlying volatility. These may be described as either a sign effect, where the level of volatility is related to the sign of past returns or a size effect, where the dynamics of volatility are related to prevailing level of vola...

According to Slotnick et al. (2014), in 2025, air transport will contribute 1.5 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. Of course, there are many other fluid dynamic engineering systems and processes that contribute to environmentally damaging emissions. Hence, it is critical to study aerodynamics with the view to creating more energy-efficient systems. Broadly speaking, the design engineer h...

Broadly speaking, the influence of the MJO on precipitation over the tropics occurs by eastward propagation of Rossby wave trains from the tropical Pacific Ocean (Muza et al. 2009). Previous observational and modeling studies generally indicated that MJO and ENSO has a decadal variation and seasonal dependence (Tang and Yu, 2008; Hendon et al. 2007), however, them has not been well identified d...

In service industries with congestion effects, two very different contractual structures are commonly observed, depending on whether or not firms choose to offer a guaranteed service level. We analyze the impact of these choices onmarket outcomes in oligopolistic industries. Our results highlight howdifferent contractual agreements change the intensity of price competition in service industries...

The central theme of our programs has been to advance the understanding of optical and quantum communication, radar, and sensing systems. Broadly speaking, this has entailed: (1) developing system-analytic models for important propagation, detection, and communication scenarios; (2) using these models to derive the fundamental limits on system performance; and (3) identifying, and establishing ...

Law360, New York (July 20, 2015, 9:56 AM ET) -Personalized medicine has been interchangeably called precision, tailored, targeted or genomic medicine. Broadly speaking, personalized medicine is individualized medicine that customizes medical treatment to a patient’s genetic characteristics, previous treatment history, lifestyle, environment and/or preferences. Simply put, it provides the right ...

In this work we present an extension of Bio-PEPA, a language recently defined for the modelling and analysis of biological systems, to handle events. Broadly speaking, events are constructs that represent changes in the system due to some trigger conditions. Some mappings from Bio-PEPA with events to analysis tools are reported. in order to test our approach, we present the translation of two b...
