The current paper describes the deictic system of Kamaiurá, a language of the Tupí-Guaraní family. The Kamaiurá system of deictic demonstratives and adverbials has a high degree of complexity, including at least 17 different forms, of which several have different functions. The system codes four levels of Participant deixis, with proximal, medial, distal and far distal deixis. Forms can also code The current paper describes the deictic system of Kamaiurá, a language of the Tupí-Guaraní family.

Despite their widespread use in non-invasive studies of porous materials, conventional MRI methods yield ambiguous results for microscopically heterogeneous materials such as brain tissue. While the forward link between microstructure and MRI observables is well understood, the inverse problem of separating the signal contributions from different microscopic pores is notoriously difficult. Here, w

A growing body of work indicates that neural induction may be initiated prior to the establishment of the gastrula mesodermal organizer. Here, we examine neural induction in Xenopus embryos in which mesoderm induction has been blocked by Cerberus-short, a reagent that specifically inhibits Nodal-related (Xnr) signals. We find that extensive neural structures with cyclopic eyes and brain tissue are

In this article, we propose a novel channel for phenomenological studies of the double-parton scattering (DPS) based upon associated production of charm cc¯ and bottom bb¯ quark pairs in well-separated rapidity intervals in ultraperipheral high-energy proton–nucleus collisions. This process provides direct access to the double-gluon distribution in the proton at small-x and enables one to test the

The 2019 Nîmes International Symposium in Antibiotic Therapy Optimisation aimed at determining the best approaches of a number of the antibiotic management strategies for critically ill patients. Experts reviewed the latest literature relating to requirements for an optimal antibiotic stewardship program, risks of sub-therapeutic dosing of antibiotics in critically ill patients, persisting issues

The 7Be fragments produced in one-proton removal from relativistic 8B nuclei of 936 MeV/nucleon in a carbon target have been detected in coincidence with γ rays emitted by these fragments at the reaction target. It is found that 13 ± 3% of the 7Be fragments are released in the 429 keV excited state, 7Be*, which gives direct experimental information on the ground state configuration of 8B. The long

In many fMRI task-evoked studies, localized brain activity can be detected by GLM fitting and statistical hypothesis testing. Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) is the classical method that requires Gaussian pre-smoothing of the data. Instead, the wavelet transform provides a compact representation of activation patterns. Wavelet based SPM (WSPM) is an extension of SPM that combines wavelet proc
