McCarthy& Prince () outline a theory of reduplication in which segments in the reduplicant stand in correspondence with segments in the base. Discontiguous partial reduplication patterns, in which a string of segments in the reduplicant corresponds with a discontiguous string of segments in the base, have been observed in various languages in the Austronesian and Austroasiatic language fami...

Paradigm gaps pose an interesting paradox in the generative capacity of native speakers. On the one hand, inflectional morphology tends to be automatic and prolifically productive, even for rare or made up words (Berko 1958; Bybee and Moder 1983). Once in a while, however, inflection fails for particular existing words. Pinker (1999) points out that even an inflectionally simple language like E...

Title of dissertation: DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE PREDICTION OF SWASHPLATELESS HELICOPTER ROTOR WITH TRAILING EDGE FLAPS AND TABS Jaye Falls, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Inderjit Chopra Department of Aerospace Engineering This work studies the design of trailing edge controls for swashplateless helicopter primary control, and examines the impact of those controls ...

This paper presents an optimality-theoretic comparison of three round vowel patterns in the Altaic family. At the core is an analysis of bisyllabic trigger round harmony, a pattern uncovered in recent investigation of Classical Manchu and Oroqen (Tungusic; Zhang 1996). In these languages round spreading takes place only when the first two syllables of a word are round. This study isolates two s...

The nuclear receptors liver X receptor (LXR) LXR and LXR are differentially expressed ligand-activated transcription factors that induce genes controlling cholesterol homeostasis and lipogenesis. Synthetic ligands for both receptor subtypes activate ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1)-mediated cholesterol metabolism, increase reverse cholesterol transport, and provide atheroprotection i...

In order to understand the different types of e-business risks, this chapter uses a framework focusing on five dimensions of e-businesses. This chapter examines e-business risk management in a broader context by integrating various functions within firms. Primary consideration is given to characteristics of the integrated supply chain functionalities of a firm and their associations with inform...

Acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors are mitogenic polypeptides that are overexpressed in pancreatic cancer. To determine whether fibro blast growth factors may exert direct effects on pancreatic cancer cells in vivo, we compared the expression of the high-affinity type I fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR-1) in human pancreatic tissues. In the normal pancreas, FGFR-1 immunostaining ...
