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...

In the present study, the author’s previous experimental investigations on the vortex induced vibration of uniform and tapered circular cylinders are numerically simulated. The circular cylinders have medium mass ratios (5.93, 6.1), low mass-damping parameters (0.0275, 0.0279) a mean diameter of 0.028m and an aspect ratio of about 14. A fully coupled two-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) an...

In the malarial research program conducted on a national scale during World War II, several drugs were developed which had marked superiority over quinacrine (atabrine) and quinine in their ability to terminate individual attacks of vivax malaria (1). For example, chloroquine (SN-7618) in terms of oral dosage and the resulting plasma concentration can be administered in amounts many times that ...

We present direct numerical simulations results of vortex-induced vibrations of a freely vibrating rigid cylinder with low mass-damping parameter using a spectral/hp element method. We investigate several reduced velocities to assess the validity of the ‘‘three-branch response’’ and its sensitivity to Reynolds number in the range 1000–3000. This study addresses the numerical challenge of captur...

This book presents a collection of research articles brought together by the editors to illustrate how cultural-historical perspectives on learning and development can be used to analyze current problems with pre-service teacher education: incongruities between the university setting and school contexts, privileging of certain forms of learning over others in different sites (i.e., traditional ...

Abstract Background Valve-in-valve (ViV) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) can be completed by bioprosthetic fracture (BVF) to reduce final transvalvular gradients. The aim was compare outcomes in ViV-TAVI patients with versus without BVF. Methods Consecutive undergoing procedure four international centers were included, from 2010 2021. We used a 1:2 propensity score-matching metho...
