Scalar implicatures and the grammar of plurality and disjunction
… implicatures in the grammar of plurality and disjunction. I argue that scalar implicatures are relevant not only for the meaning of plurals and disjunctions, but also for their distribution in language. For example, the computation of scalar implicatures will be shown to be the decisive factor …

The Genetic Consequences of Disjunction in Campanula Rotundifolia (Angiospermae: Campanulaceae)
It has been predicted that small, isolated populations will contain less genetic diversity and be genetically distinct from neighboring populations due to genetic drift. These predictions were tested for the flowering plant species Campanula rotundifolia by comparing three disjunct Missouri …

The Watched Towers : Creating disjunction in a river of movement
… can heighten the experience of a route through disjunction and weathering. My motivation for the route is driven by my fascination with movement along an existing spine, which stretches 700 metres from Woodstock station to the harbours edge. The route crosses eight different types of private and …

The Gig is Up: The Disjunction of Gig Economy Labor and the American Welfare State
The gig economy has rapidly become something of a phenomenon in the digital economy today. New firms are quickly being added to this digital market ecosphere and the business model has garnered the attention of the business and investor communities as a new organizational alternative to standard …

Formal and philological inquiries into the nature of interrogatives, indefinites, disjunction, and focus in Sinhala and other languages
… focus, interrogatives, indefinites, and disjunctions---and the connections between these elements. This study focusses on the analysis of such elements in Sinhala, with comparison to Malayalam, Tlingit, and Japanese. The central part of the study concerns the proper syntactic and semantic …

On the Computation of Common Subsumers in Description Logics
… subsumers of concept descriptions. In case disjunction of concepts can be expressed in the DL under consideration, the least common subsumer (lcs) is just the disjunction of the input concepts. Such a trivial lcs is of little use as a starting point for a new concept definition to be edited …

ZStream : a cost-based query processor for composite event detection
… involve conjunction (e.g., concurrent events), disjunction (e.g., a choice between two options) and negation, making the matching problem even more complex. In this thesis, we present a CEP system called ZStream to efficiently process such sequential patterns. Besides simple sequentiality, …

Formulas of first-order logic in distributive normal form
… formula of first-order logic can be written as a disjunction of formulas called constituents. Such a disjunction is called a distributive normal form of the formula. It is a generalization of the disjunctive normal form for propositional logic. However, there are some significant differences …

The physiological role of the two isoforms of DNA topoisomerase II in human cells
… of the IIalpha-form. Chromosome condensation and disjunction was performed with the aid of cytosolic topoisomerase IIalpha which bound to the mitotic chromatin with low affinity. Consequently an increased rate of nondisjunction is observed in these cells. It is concluded that high affinity …

Positive Polarity and Exhaustivity in Sinhala: A Study of its Implications for Grammar
… -hari and -da that systematically appear across disjunction, indefinite and question constructions. Traditionally, these particles have been called Q-particles (i.e. Hagstrom (1998); Cable (2010); Slade (2011); a.m.o). They have so far been analyzed in terms of either Q-question/-uantifier …

Molecular Phylogenetics and Historical Biogeography of the Tribe Chiococceae (Rubiaceae)
… islands; thus exhibiting amphi-Pacific tropical disjunction. This study addresses the phylogenetic relationships and biogeography of the Chiococceae using molecular DNA sequence data, and presents novel data on the tribal and generic delimitations, intergeneric relationships, and the origin and …

Reconstructing South African Afromontane forest history with bryophyte phylogeography
… throughout Africa, however the basis for the disjunction of afromontane forests remains uncertain. The genetic structure of organisms should reflect their hi story, and in turn the history of their environment. Thus a phylogeographical study of forest-faithful mosses could provide insight into …

As One United People: An Inclusive Communitarian Approach to Constitutional Rights in Singapore
