This book provides a critical investigation of syntactic change and the factors that influence it. Converging empirical and theoretical considerations have suggested that apparent instances of syntactic change may be attributable to factors outside syntax proper, such as morphology or information structure. Some even go so far as to propose that there is no such thing as syntactic change, and that all such change in fact takes place in the lexicon or in the phonological component. In this volume, international scholars examine these proposals, drawing on detailed case studies from Germanic, Romance, Chinese, Egyptian, Finnic, Hungarian, and Sami. They aim to answer such questions as: Can syn...
This book uses data from English, Mandarin Chinese, and Modern Greek to develop a new theory of control structures that relates them to restructuring and the semantics of the embedding verb. The theory has implications both for clausal structure and for the relationship between form and meaning in natural language.
Die Europäische Union hat, zehn Jahre nachdem dem Staatenbund für den »erfolgreichen Kampf für Frieden und Menschenrechte« der Friedensnobelpreis verliehen wurde, mit seinem brutalen Vorgehen gegen schutzsuchende Menschen auf der Flucht die tödlichste Grenze der Welt geschaffen, das Mittelmeer zum Massengrab gemacht. Es ist die Aufkündigung der vielbeschworenen »europäischen Werte«, die zivilisatorische Kapitulation vor einer der zentralen Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts, in dem so viele Menschen wie nie zuvor auf der Flucht sind – vor Krieg, Verfolgung, Hunger und Klimawandel. Das Buch des Autorinnenkollektivs »mEUterei« bilanziert minutiös die Systematik der tagtäglichen Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit, orchestriert von Brüsseler Schreibtischen aus und exekutiert von hochgerüsteten Grenzwächtern. So gerät es zur Anklageschrift gegen die Friedensnobelpreisträgerin EU.
Charge Sensitivity Analysis (CSA) represents a linear response treatment of molecular systems, based upon the chemical potential and hardness/softness concepts established within density functional theory (DFT). Recently, it has been shown to provide an attractive framework leading to novel approaches to chemical reactivity of open systems. The monograph presents the conceptual and methodological basis of the CSA covering its DFT roots, alternative resolutions and representations, sensitivities of closed and open atomic and molecular systems, charge stability criteria and relaxational effects due to the system environment, and alternative collective modes of charge redistribution. The CSA in...
This book is a comprehensive guide to BiodentineTM, an innovative biocompatible and bioactive material based on pure tricalcium silicate that can permanently replace dentin and can also serve as a temporary enamel substitute. Although BiodentineTM has been widely used across the world for the past decade, this is the first book to be devoted to its properties, interactions with the soft and hard tissues, and its multiple clinical applications. The coverage encompasses applications in primary and permanent teeth, in specialties as diverse as restorative dentistry, endodontics, paediatric dentistry, dental traumatology, and prosthetic dentistry. BiodentineTM application both in vital pulp ther...
On 10 April 2010, Polish President Lech Kaczyński and First Lady Maria Kaczyńska were killed in an airplane crash outside the city of Smolensk in western Russia, where they were flying to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Soviet massacre of over twenty-one thousand Polish prisoners during the Second World War. Eight days later, the president and his wife were laid to rest beneath the Krakow Cathedral on Wawel Hill, an ancient necropolis of Polish kings and queens and the most prestigious burial site in all of Poland, where only six other meritorious, non-royal national figures have been enshrined since the demise of the Polish monarchy in the late eighteenth century. The decision to ...
This book is dedicated to the Readers who would like to find out more about physiotherapy. It is divided into five parts dealing with problems like: spine and faulty body posture, physical activity and treatment, people with mobility impairment caused by neurological disorder, urinary incontinence as a problem for patient and a challenge for the therapist and traditional and innovative applications of methods in physical therapy and balneology. In each part of this book the Reader will gain knowledge and find the results of different studies developing appropriate subject.
Information Technology in Biomedicine is an interdisciplinary research area, that bridges the gap between tethodological achievements in engineering and clinical requirements in medical diagnosis and therapy. In this book, members of the academic society of technical and medical background present their research results and clinical implementation in order to satisfy the functional requirements of authorized physicians for the benefit of the patients. An extended area is covered by the articles. It includes biomedical signals, medical image processing, computer-aided diagnosis and surgery, biometrics, healthcare and telemedicine, biomechanics, biomaterials, bioinformatics. Section on bronchoscopy presents the basis as well as new research studies performed in this field. Papers present various theoretical approaches and new methodologies based on fuzzy sets, mathematical statistics, mathematical morphology, fractals, wavelets, syntactic methods, artificial neural networks, graphs and many others.
