The essays in this important collection explore wide-ranging
aspects of the syntax and semantics of human languages. Key topics
covered include movement phenomena and the syntax of logical form,
methods in generative linguistics and the role of rules vs.
principles in syntactic theory. This volume makes a vital
contribution to substantive and methodological debates in
linguistic theory.
While ecosystem management requires looking beyond specific
jurisdiction and focusing on broad spatial scales, most planning
decisions particularly in the USA, are made at local level. By
looking at land-use planning in Florida, this volume recognizes the
need for planners and resource managers to address ecosystem
problems at local and community levels. The factors causing
ecosystem decline, such as rapid urban development and habitat
fragmentation occur at the local level and are generated by local
land use policies. This book argues that understanding how local
jurisdictions can capture and implement the principles of managing
natural systems will lead to more sustainable levels of
environmental planning in the future.

This thesis examines a novel class of flexible electronic material
with great potential for use in the construction of stretchable
amplifiers and memory elements. Most remarkably the composite
material produces spontaneous oscillations that increase in
frequency when pressure is applied to it. In this way, the material
mimics the excitatory response of pressure-sensing neurons in the
human skin. The composites, formed of silicone and graphitic
nanoparticles, were prepared in several allotropic forms and
functionalized with naphthalene diimide molecules. A systematic
study is presented of the negative differential resistance (NDR)
region of the current-voltage curves, which is responsible for the
material's active properties. This study was conducted as a
function of temperature, graphite filling fraction, scaling to
reveal the break-up of the samples into electric field domains at
the onset of the NDR region, and an electric-field induced
metal-insulator transition in graphite nanoparticles. The effect of
molecular functionalization on the miscibility threshold and the
current-voltage curves is demonstrated. Room-temperature and
low-temperature measurements were performed on these composite
films under strains using a remote-controlled, custom-made step
motor bench.

Principles of Pediatric Neuropsychiatry through Complex Clinical
Cases provides basic diagnosis and treatment tactics, along with
the tools that clinicians need to perform both a psychiatric and
neurological “consultation,” including differential diagnoses and
questions to ask. Readers are then offered the neuropsychiatric
details of the particular illness that has afflicted sample
patients, along with treatment guidelines offered to said patient
and their parents. Cases presented include the following topics:
Absence Seizures, ESES, Myotonic Dystrophy, Adrenal Leukodystrophy,
ADHD with Comorbidities, Wilson’s Disease, ASD, Schizophrenia,
Astrocytoma with Hypoactive Delirium, Systemic Lupus Erythematous,
Traumatic Brain Injury, OCD, Tourette’s, Klein Levin Syndrome,
and more.
O. THE CONTENTS OF THIS VOLUME AND THE FIELD OF COMPARATIVE
GERMANIC SYNTAX Comparati ve synchronic and diachronic syntax has
become an increasingly popular and fruitful research area over the
past 10-15 years. A central reason for this is that recent
developments in linguistic theory have made it possible to
formulate explicit and testable hypotheses concerning syntactic
universals and cross-linguistic varia- tion. Here we refer to the
so-called "Principles-and-Parameters" approaches (see Chomsky
1981a, 1982, 1986a, and also Williams 1987, Freidin 1991, Chomsky
and Lasnik 1993, and references cited in these works). It may even
be fair to say that the Government-Binding framework (first
outlined by Chomsky 1981b)-a spe- cific instantiation of the
Principles-and-Parameters approach-has been more influential than
any other theoretical syntactic framework. Since 1984,
syntacticians investigating the formal properties of Germanic
languages have, as an international effort, organized "workshops"
on comparative Germanic syntax. The first was held at the
University of Trondheim in Trondheim, Norway (1984), the second at
the University of Iceland in Reykjavik, Iceland (1985), the third
at the University of Abo in Abo, Finland (1986), the fourth at
McGill University, Montreal, Canada (1987), the fifth in Groningen,
The Nether- lands (1988), the sixth in Lund, Sweden (1989), the
seventh in Stuttgart, Germany (1991), the eighth in Troms~, Norway
(1992), the ninth at Harvard University, Cambridge, USA (1994), the
tenth at the Catholic University in Brussels, Belgium (1995), and
the eleventh at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, USA (1995).
This detailed book presents recent methodologies for the task of
inspecting the genomic world of plants, extracting valuable
information, and presenting it in a readable way. With a focus on
bioinformatics tools, the volume explores phylogenetics and
evolution, Omics analysis, as well as experimental procedures for
trait characterization. Written for the highly successful Methods
in Molecular Biology series, chapters include the kind of vital
expert implementation advice that will lead to successful
results. Authoritative and practical, Plant Comparative
Genomics serves as an ideal resource for researchers looking to
implement comparative tools in order to explore their genomic data
for their daily scientific work.
