The narrative sequence is basic to language, both spoken and written, and is used as a multitask resource in familiar as well as formal interactions. In this article the narrative sequence is approached from a somewhat particular angle. I have chosen to focus on those narratives where the subjects concern cultural and historical events in exolingual conversations in French. The article then discus

The electronic and molecular structures of an electrochemically reduced and oxidized triarylamine layer (((3-ethyl(p-N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl)amino)propyl-1-phosphonic acid) adsorbed on a nanocrystalline TiO2 film have been investigated. Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) measurements on electrochemically prepared surfaces and density functional theory (DFT) calculations for the free triarylamine mo

In previous work, McCune (1995, 2008) and Zlatev (2007, 2013) recognized the importance of reviving a coherent cross-domain theory of semiotic development. Despite inevitable differences, the two approaches converge on their explanations of development across the first three years. Both recognized representational ability as a critical feature at the transition to language and both emphasized the

Diode laser absorption measurements obtained with two-tone frequency-modulation spectroscopy (TTFMS) are combined with tomography to produce spatially resolved quantitative images of fluid flows. The high sensitivity, good accuracy, and high stability of TTFMS absorption measurements permit optical-absorption tomography to be performed with low noise on extremely weakly absorbing objects. The meth

The availability of three-dimensional structures of proteins has provided enormous insight into the detailed molecular machinery of the living cell. Since the late 1950s and early 1960s, experimental methods for deriving protein structures have contributed more than 30,000 entries to the Protein Data Bank, representing the collected knowledge of protein and other macromolecular structures. However

In very-large multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, the BS (base station) is equipped with very large number of antennas as compared to previously considered systems. There are various advantages of increasing the number of antennas, and some schemes would require handling large matrices for joint processing (pre-coding) at the base station. The dirty paper coding (DPC) is an optimal pre-

Abstract in Undetermined I Antoinette Hetzlers senaste bok, Delaktighet under hot, presenteras en inträngande studie av avstämningsmötet som utredningstekniskt hjälpmedel för Försäkringskassan. Professor Hetzler visar övertygande att även detta nya sätt att arbeta med långa sjukfall har misslyckats; sjukfallen blir inte kortare och antalet långtidssjuka som återgår i ordinarie arbete blir inte stö

Abstract in German Die "Kleinen Historien" bildete zwischen dem 16. und dem 19. Jahrhundert eine eigene Gattung auf dem Buchmarkt, die weder geschlossen noch statisch war. Die "Kleinen Historien" wurden in Oktav gedrucht, innerhalb dieses starren Formats jedoch veränderten sie im Laufe der Zeit ihre Form, und die Texte wurden dann der neuen Form angepasst. Wie das vonstatten ging, wird anhand der

Abstract in UndeterminedA dual purpose, high power, off board battery charger for electric vehicles is presented. For higher viability and increased usage of the charger, grid conditioning capabilities are included in the concept. Conventional power electronic converter topologies are used in a new application, which combines fast EV battery charging with active filtering. Furthermore bi-direction
