In this paper, I introduce a learning challenge for various models of parameter setting in generative syntax, namely a scenario where all input to the learner underdetermines the target parameter setting. This scenario is exemplified by the case of zero-derived causatives in English, as discussed in Pylkkänen (2008). I then propose a model for parameter setting that uses a simple Bayesian learn...

Background: In the recent years, using health technologies to diagnose and treat diseases has had a considerable and accelerated growth. The proper use of these technologies may considerably help in the diagnosis and treatment of different diseases. On the other hand, unlimited and unrestricted entry of these technologies may result in induced demand by service providers. The aim of this study ...

The development of molecularly targeted anticancer therapies has resulted in a paradigm shift in the clinical drug development process. Phase 1 studies now routinely incorporate pharmacodynamic biomarker endpoints, specifically to evaluate whether a targeted therapy has the desired impact on its target and whether this leads to clinical benefit. Non-invasive molecular imaging using positron emi...

background: diabetes is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease (cvd). moreover, cvd accounts for primary cause of death among diabetic patients. physicians, especially in the primary care setting, have effective role in the management of cardiovascular risk factors. therefore, we aimed to compare the prevalence of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in type 2 diabetic patients attending t...

The carbon embodied in buildings is an important proportion of our emissions and needs to be radically reduced order support climate change mitigation. highest usually emitted during the product stage, within structural elements. Therefore, reducing materials likely have a major impact. In most buildings, majority comes from steel concrete. But although there are now hundreds registered Environ...

self-management has been a point of discussion among number of researchers. the teacher can manage discipline in the class by employing self-management strategies. furthermore, it can also help students in managing their behaviors for long periods of time. organizations need people who are more willing to work and adhere to the requirements on their own. they must understand how they can make b...
