This volume contains a selection of papers that were presented at the 53rd Annual Conference on African Linguistics, which was held virtually at the University of California San Diego. There are 21 papers covering phonology, morphology, syntax, lexical semantics, sociolinguistics, typology and historical linguistics. The volume features a keynote paper that proposes a novel community-based approach to language documentation. African languages investigated in detail include Wolof, Mende, Dangme, Kusaal, Nzema, Anii, Nigerian Pidgin, Tunen, Nyokon, Vale, Lokoya, Lopit, Otuho, Kalenjin, Tiriki, Oromo, Tigrinya, Asá, Qwadza, and Ikalanga.
This volume contains some of the papers there were presented at ACAL 51-52, which was organized virtually at the University of Florida. A couple were accepted for presentation at ACAL 51, which was canceled because of COVID-19. The theme of ACAL 51-52 was African linguistics: pushing the boundaries. There are 18 papers and an introduction: two phonetics papers, five phonology papers, nine syntax papers, one sociolinguistics paper and one typology paper.
Endothelial cells form the inner lining of blood and lymphatic vessels and they have frequent interactions with immune cells as well as foreign agents. Endothelial function is crucially involved in physiologic immunity at different stages including recruitment of leukocytes, angiogenesis and tissue repair. Endothelial dysfunction is a not well-defined term, it is widely used to describe the non-physiologic activity of endothelial cells. It has been suggested that endothelial dysfunction plays a role in a variety of human diseases, such as arteriosclerosis, cancer, autoimmunity and sepsis. More recently, a role of lymphatic endothelial cells as well as vascular endothelial cells in the pathop...
The parasympathetic and sympathetic autonomic systems are involved in several body functions. Cardiovascular risk factors can be estimated through autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. Previous studies have already supported the relevance of improved parasympathetic function to maintain a good health status. Currently, it is well documented that people with high physical activity status present better ANS function, as well as non-smokers subjects. Many factors are related to impaired ANS function, including, sedentary habits, smoking, high fat intake, genetic changes, etc.
The two volume set, CCIS 288 and 289, constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the First International Conference on Communications and Information Processing, ICCIP 2012, held in Aveiro, Portugal, in March 2012. The 168 revised full papers of both volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers present the state-of-the-art in communications and information processing and feature current research on the theory, analysis, design, test and deployment related to communications and information processing systems.
