Abstract Nuclear stress (or sentence stress) as a prosodic feature marks information flow in spoken English, and has received some treatment the linguistics literature, most notably pragmatics, but less so newer phonological paradigms. Current theories might shed light on this feature, such Optimality Theory (OT) cognitive grammar (CG). This paper compares potential insights likely predictions ...

laboratory studies were conducted to compare the relative fitness of clodinafop-propargyl herbicide resistant lolium rigidum accessions with their clodinafop-propargyl susceptible counterparts in 2014. factors evaluated were lolium populations at constant salinity stress (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 ds cm2) and water stress (0, -3, -6, -9, -12 and -15 bar). the maximum germination in salinity stres...

The determination of liquefaction potential is required to take into account a large number of parameters, which creates a complex nonlinear structure of the liquefaction phenomenon. The conventional methods rely on simple statistical and empirical relations or charts. However, they cannot characterise these complexities. Genetic algorithms are suited to solve these types of problems. A genetic...

In the present work, under some di¤erentiability conditions on the potential functions , we …rst reduce the inverse scattering problem (ISP) for the polynomial pencil of the Scroedinger equation to the corresponding ISP for the generalized matrix Scrödinger equation . Then ISP will be solved in analogy of the Marchenko method. We aim to establish an e¤ective algorithm for uniquely reconstructin...

objective(s):the present study was undertaken to determine the effects of acute exposure to malathion on oxidative stress and cytotoxic potential of anticholinesterase insecticide, malathion in reproductive toxicology of adolescent male mice. materials and methods: thirty two adolescent male mice at pubertal age were treated with 500 mg/kg body weight (bw) of malathion for three days. after exp...

introduction : the purpose of this study was to investigate the executive functions (efs) as the mediators between coping with stress styles and generalized anxiety disorder (gad). we examined two styles of coping with stress (problem focused coping (pfc) and emotion focused coping (efc)) and eight executive functions (inhibition, flexibility, focusing, working memory, decision making, reasonin...

understanding the physiological processes associated with drought stress lead to an understanding of the basic mechanisms of resistance, maintaining yield potential and contribute to the identification of drought tolerant cultivars. for this purpose, the effects of drought stress in cowpea genotypes was evaluated using five different genotypes with different yield potential in a pot experiment ...
