We present abundances of giant stars in the Galactic bulge and thickdisk. The stellar sample contains approximately 15 bulge giants and 20thick disk giants observed with the UVES on VLT in Chile. These resultswill be used to see if there exists an evolutionary connection betweenthe bulge and the thick disk and will also put further light into theformation of the Milky Way and the thick disk in par

This paper presents findings from a longitudinal, experimental project investigating the effect of translation on the morphosyntactic accuracy of advanced Swedish (L1) learners of English (L2). The subjects were first-year students of English at a Swedish university. The curriculum was communicative and translation (Focus-on-Forms) was used judiciously. The research is couched in cognitive psycho

This thesis is concerned with a particular type of generic sentence that is referred to as the ‘middle construction’ in the literature. The aim of the thesis is to offer a theoretical account of middles couched within the non-lexicalist framework of Distributed Morphology (see Halle & Marantz 1993 and subsequent work), and, more generally, within the Minimalist Program (see e.g. Chomsky 2000,

An attempt is made in this article to identify the success and failure factors in organizational change and learning process. The empirical study was made by following an organization-wide project that aims at changing pricing practices in highly decentralized sub-units through the efforts of corporate head office. The results show that the highly decentralized organizational structure and the ind

Two different factor V cDNA fragments were used as hydridization probes in the chromosomal assignment of the human and rat factor V genes. A 1.6-kb EcoRI fragment was used as a hybridization probe to analyze a panel of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids. Cosegregation of factor V specific DNA restriction fragments with human chromosome 1 was observed. In addition, a panel of rat-mouse somatic cell

In this paper, a novel transmission technique for the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) broadcasting directional channels is introduced. During the training period, the base station sends a set of mutually orthogonal signals which enables each user to estimate the angle-of-departure of the anticipated strongest beam and the corresponding SNR. Then, the base station uses the reported angles-of-

Most people recognize packaging as necessary with respect to its protective functions, but some doubt that the packaging industry is providing solutions that are good from a socioeconomic/ecological point of view. Packages influences lifestyles as well as the standard of living and people’s behavior, and therefore must be considered in areas of behavioral science and communication. The central rol
