Comprehension of verb inflection in German-speaking children
Previous studies on the acquisition of verb inflection in normally developing children have revealed an astonishing pattern: children use correctly inflected verbs in their own speech but fail to make use of verb inflections when comprehending sentences uttered by others. Thus, a three-year old …

The Acquisition of Verb Inflection in Libyan Arabic: The Role of Input
This thesis investigates the acquisition of verb inflection in Libyan Arabic (LA), and the role of input. It is a case study in which there is a single participant, a girl acquiring LA as a first language, and her parents are the main source of input. Data were collected by observation of …

Investigation of Inflection Points as Brace Points in Multi-Span Purlin Roof Systems
… was conducted to evaluate the behavior of inflection points as brace points in multi-span purlin roof systems. Seven tests were conducted using "C" and "Z" purlins attached to standing seam and through fastened panels. These tests were subjected to uniform gravity loading by means of a …

A constructionist view of complex interactions between inflection and derivation: the case of SMG and Griko
… in morphological theory is the relation between inflection and derivation. This question lies at the heart of the problem of the architecture of the morphological component and thus raises important issues such as: (a) the relation between the lexicon and the grammar, and (b) the model which best …

Derivation, Inflection, and the Paradigm in German: The Definition of Basic Concepts in Morphology (Transformational, Declension, Generative, Conjugation, Stem)
… definitions of the (heretofore undefined) terms inflection, derivation, paradigm, declension, and conjugation, and to determine their interrelationships within morphology, an analysis of Standard German inflection is undertaken. German nominal, adjectival, and verbal inflectional systems are …

Ascertaining The Growth Of A Company A System Dynamics Approach
… change in any business is known as an inflection point. Understanding the nature of its inflection point and responding to that point suitably will help to safeguard a company's growth. So today's managers, when faced with such changes, have to be equipped with the adequate tools to …

BE-ing default : the morphosyntax of auxiliaries
… morphological and syntactic systems of verbal inflection. More specifically, I propose that the existence of auxiliary BE reflects the fact that the inflectional system can fail to unite inflectional material with a main verb. I argue the reasons for this failure are structural: inflectional …

Quantifying the Role of Prosody in the Perception of Deception
This work investigates the relationship between inflection and perceived honesty in Canadian English, specifically testing whether a terminal rising inflection is perceived as more dishonest than a falling terminal inflection. Canadian English listeners heard pairs of sentence stimuli which …

Development of a rapid test to determine moisture sensitivity of HMA (Superpave) mixtures
… APA results do not indicate any stripping inflection points. The HWTD results show stripping inflection points. The APA results show wet tests are severe at lower temperatures whereas dry tests show high rut depth at higher temperatures. The HWTD results show improvement in the performance …

Direct Measurement of Boiling Water Heat Flux for Predicting and Controlling Near Critical Heat Flux
… that the heat flux response undergoes an inflection of the heat transfer coefficient at a consistent temperature just before reaching CHF. This observed inflection caused the heat flux response to deviate from its cubic relationship with the temperature and drastically increase for a very …

Paleogeothermal Conditions in the Illinois Basin During Late Paleozoic Coalification
… that the paleogeotherm of the basin contain an inflection at the Mississippian-Pennsylvanian boundary. These observations suggest that topographically driven regional flow of hydrothermal fluids through the Upper Paleozoic Lower Paleozoic aquifers raised the temperature and caused an …

The Verb in Transitional Libyan Arabic: Morphomes, the Stem space and Principal parts
… in Semitic linguistics with ablaut-rich inflectional systems. This study provides a novel synchronic account to Transitional Libyan Arabic morphology, using a stem-based approach that assesses the morphomicity (Maiden, 2009, p.45) of stem alternations in the verb inflectional paradigm. …

Parsimonious item response theory modeling with different link functions
… with regard to (1) data distribution shape, (b) inflection point shift, (c) structural similarities, and (d) response behaviors. Importantly, these four properties provide a rationale for how certain parametrically simple alternate-link models can outperform more parametrically complex …

Flow through Rigid Vegetation Hydrodynamics
… by a velocity spike near the bed and an inflection point near the top of the dowel arrays. With two dowel layers, the velocity profile in the region behind a tall dowel exhibits multiple inflection points and the highest turbulence intensities are found there.

Topics in shape-constrained inference
… in a non-convex optimisation problem, since the inflection point is unknown. We show that the estimator may nevertheless be regarded as a projection onto a finite union of convex cones, which allows us to propose a mixed primal-dual bases algorithm for its efficient, sequential computation. After …

Free vibrations of a vierendeel girder
… on the vertical displacements of the points of inflection of each column. The concentrated mass of each panel would be located at the center of the respective columns. This appears to be a better approximation than concentrating each mass at the lower joint.

The subjunctive mood in the writings of Emily Dickinson
… the third person singular verbs which omit the s inflection, were incorrect usages. These editors often ''corrected" them by adding the missing inflection. Later, more scholarly critics recognized and labelled them as forms of the subjunctive mood. Since 1955 Thomas Johnson and some other …
