We propose a comprehensive account of both the distribution and the interpretation of German focus particles such as nur, auch and sogar (‘only’, ‘also’, ‘even’). We argue that they always adjoin to non-arguments (in recent terms this means that they can adjoin to VPs, IPs, APs and root CPs, but never to argument DPs or argument CPs), and that they do not undergo LF raising. Presenting a range ...

Recent studies have shown that particulate air pollution is a risk factor for hospitalization for heart and lung disease; however, little is known about what subpopulations are most sensitive to this pollutant. We analyzed Medicare hospital admissions for heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders (COPD) and pneumonia in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, between 1985 and 1994. We exam...

To test the hypothesis (Plant Physiology 59: 155-157) that monocotyledons contain a unique oligomycin-insensitive ATPase, we prepared submitochondrial particles and a soluble fraction from sonicated corn mitochondria (Zea mays L. cv. Earliking). Although the ATPase activity of the whole sonicate was relatively insensitive to oligomycin, the corn submitochondrial particles possessed an ATPase ac...

at present study the flow and heat transfer of non-newtonian nanofluid, aqueous solution of carboxymethyl cellulose-aluminum oxide with different volume fractions of nano particles in a two dimensional microtube is simulated for the first time. slip velocity and temperature jump boundary conditions are also considered along the microtube walls. the achieved results accuracy is investigated by c...

  Propagation of dust ion acoustic waves in plasmas composed of nonthermal distributed electrons and stationary dust particles is investigated. Nonlinear Schrdinger equation is derived to describe small amplitude waves, using the reduction perturbation technique. Modulation instability of dust ion acoustic waves is analysed for this system. Parametric investigation indicates that growth rate of...
