Meanings as Conceptual Structures

Cognitive semantics relates linguistic expressions to conceptual structures. The purpose of this paper is to present a framework for such a cognitive structure. As a preparation, Putnam's argument against intensional semantics as a theory of meaning is presented. Some of the main tenets of cognitive semantics as it has developed during the last years are outlined. The notion of a conceptual space

Hemiparasitic litter additions alter gross nitrogen turnover in temperate semi-natural grassland soils

Hemiparasitic plants accumulate nutrients in their leaves and therefore produce high-quality litter with faster decomposition and nutrient release rates compared to non-parasitic litter. Higher levels of plant-available nitrogen (N) in the presence of hemiparasitic plants have been attributed to this 'litter effect', but effects on N dynamics in the soil remain unstudied. We tested the hypothesis

Daily physical activity related to aerobic fitness and body fat in an urban sample of children.

This study evaluates associations between objectively measured daily physical activity vs aerobic fitness and body fat in children aged 8-11 years. A cross-sectional study of 225 children aged 7.9-11.1 years was performed. Abdominal fat mass (AFM) and total body fat (TBF) were quantified by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. TBF was calculated as percentage of total body mass (BF%). Body fat distri

Allocation of Heterogeneous Resources of an IoT Device to Flexible Services

Internet of Things (IoT) devices can be equipped with multiple heterogeneous network interfaces. An overwhelmingly large amount of services may demand some or all of these interfaces’ available resources. Herein, we present a precise mathematical formulation of assigning services to interfaces with heterogeneous resources in one or more rounds. For reasonable instance sizes, the presented formulat

Microsatellite primers in the planktonic diatom Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata (Bacillariophyceae)

Premise of the study: Seven microsatellite loci were characterized for the toxic diatom Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata Takano (Takano) to investigate intraspecific variability and estimate population genetic structure over blooms, seasons, and sexual and vegetative reproduction. Methods and Results: Selected microsatellites consisted of di- and trinucleotide repeats in the core region, and showed

LACK OF AUTOFLUORESCENCE IN FUNDUS ALBIPUNCTATUS ASSOCIATED WITH MUTATIONS IN RDH5.

PURPOSE:: The purpose of this study was to characterize the phenotype of fundus albipunctatus associated with RDH5 mutations. METHODS:: Four unrelated patients (patients 1-4) aged 35, 32, 19, and 8 years were examined with full-field electroretinography, multifocal electroretinography, optical coherence tomography, and fundus autofluorescence photography. Molecular genetic investigations included

Detection of Germline BRCA1 Mutations in Breast Cancer Patients by Quantitative Messenger RNA in situ Hybridization

Mutations in the breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) may account for one half of all familial breast cancers. Because of the wide spectrum of different germline mutations, identification of BRCA1 mutation carriers using current techniques is laborious and difficult. The majority of the identified mutations, however, lead to aberrant expression of the gene product in tumor tissue, potential

The P2Y(13) Met-158-Thr Polymorphism, Which Is in Linkage Disequilibrium with the P2Y(12) Locus, Is Not Associated with Acute Myocardial Infarction.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The aims of this study were to investigate (1) if P2Y(12) polymorphisms defining the P2Y(12) H2 allele are associated with any other SNPs that may explain the previously reported association with increased ADP induced platelet activation and association with peripheral arterial disease and coronary artery disease and (2) if such variants are associated with acute myocardial in

Intersektionella analyser. Att begreppsliggöra ojämlikheter i och genom rätten

Inledning till tema intersektionalitet I inbjudan till detta temanummer skrev den svenska redaktionen att nordisk rättsvetenskaplig forskning under de senaste decennierna allt mer har uppmärksammat olika maktrelationer i förhållande till rätten, men att interaktioner mellan olika maktrelationer inte har analyserats i någon större utsträckning. Däremot har genusvetenskaplig forskning behandlat int
