This paper investigates a special type of recurrent expressions, lexical bundles, defined as a sequence of three or more words that co-occur frequently in a particular register (Biber et al., 1999). Considering the importance of this group of multi-word sequences in academic prose, this study explores the forms and syntactic structures of three- and four-word bundles in English abstracts writte...

The Purdue Neurotrauma Group began in 2009 to study causes and consequences of concussion in youth athletes in an effort to understand why, in a two-player collision that produced a diagnosed injury, it was only one— rather than each—athlete that evidenced symptoms. Our work applies the concept of structural health monitoring (Bond et al. 2014; Kim et al. 2014), without intervention, to charact...

This paper deals with an investigation of the effect of these reactions on bacteria. Not only the common staining behavior but also certain other similarities (Fischer et al., 1949; Fischer, 1951) between intact wool and gram negative bacteria, medium degraded wool and gram variable bacteria, as well as between highly degraded wool and gram positive bacteria suggested that reversal of gram stai...

1 ABSTRACT: A risk monitoring of buildings for natural and man-made hazards mitigation is discussed in this paper. Ubiquitous monitoring using a network of wireless sensors is one of the most promising emerging technologies for this purpose. A smart sensor based on the “Berkeley Mote” platform was introduced, and application to the next generation of structural health monitoring and control was...

A recent paper by Grutters et al makes the case for early health economic modeling in the development of health technologies. A number of examples of the value of early modeling are given, with analyses being performed at different stages in the development of several non-drug health technologies. This commentary acknowledges the contribution of the paper by Grutters et...
