QUANTITATIVE METHODS DEMONSTRATE THAT ENVIRONMENT ALONE IS AN INSUFFICIENT PREDICTOR OF PRESENT-DAY LANGUAGE DISTRIBUTIONS IN NEW GUINEA.

Quantitative methods demonstrate that environment alone is an insufficient predictor of present-day language distributions in New Guinea.

Environmental parameters constrain the distributions of plant and animal species.A key question is to what extent does environment influence human behavior.Decreasing linguistic diversity from the equator towards the poles suggests that ecological factors influence linguistic geography.However, attempts to quantify the role of environmental factors

Romanian double-definites: double-DP qualitatives

The paper proposes that 2334-080 there are two types of binominal qualitative constructions in Romanian:single-DP qualitatives and double-DP qualitatives (henceforth SDPQs and DDPQs).The constructions fallingin the first category will be analyzed as single projections while the second type of qualitatives will be shownto display the behavior of dua

In vitro effect of eltrombopag alone and in combination with azacitidine on megakaryopoiesis in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome

Thrombocytopenia is a severe complication for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).Eltrombopag increases platelet count in MDS patients but its combination with azacitidine elicited controversial results.We aimed to quantify the colony forming units of megakaryocytes (CFU-Mk) obtained from CD34+ bone marrow cells isolated from patients with

Extended SVM algorithms for multilevel trans-Z-source inverter

This paper suggests extended algorithms for multilevel trans-Z-source inverter.These algorithms are based on space vector modulation (SVM), which works with high switching frequency and does not generate the mean value of the desired load voltage in every switching interval.In this topology peavey kb1 the output voltage is not limited to dc voltage
