Complex event compounds in Danish - An HPSG approach

Acta Linguistica Hafniensia, 1999
Abstract This paper presents an analysis of Complex Event Compounds (CECs) in Danish within the framework of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG). Complex Event Compounds are morphological objects with several syntactic properties and so they pose a challenge to any theory adhering to lexicalism, i.e.

On the subjective probability of compound events

Organizational Behavior and Human Performance, 1973
Abstract Subjects were requested to choose between gambles, where the outcome of one gamble depended on a single elementary event, and the other depended on an event compounded of a series of such elementary events. The data supported the hypothesis that the subjective probability of a compound event is systematically biased in the direction of the ...

Simulating compound flooding events in a hurricane

Ocean Dynamics, 2020
Compound flooding is usually induced by the concurrence of coastal storm surge and heavy precipitation induced river flooding, with the former involving oceanic processes and the latter involving hydrological processes. The simulation of these two types of processes is traditionally handled by two different types of models separately, i.e ...

Mapping and characterisation of compound events in Sweden

2023
Compound events have significant environmental and societal impacts and bring new challenges to decision-making, planning, and management. Meanwhile, knowledge about compound events and their impacts are limited. Sweden, while being prone to various climate-related natural hazards (e.g., storms, floods, wildfires) have no coherent information on where ...

Signal transduction events elicited by cancer prevention compounds

Mutation Research - Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis, 2001
Many chemopreventive agents have been shown to modulate gene expression including induction of phase II detoxifying enzymes, such as glutathione S-transferases (GST) and quinone reductases (QR). Induction of phase II enzymes in general leads to protection of cells/tissues against exogenous and/or endogenous carcinogenic intermediates.

A Compound Events Model for Security Prices

The Journal of Business, 1967
SUMMARY A model for the distribution of security price changes is proposed. The model is similiar to previous analyses of stock market price behavior in that logged price changes are assumed to be independent (random walk models). However, this model differs from earlier work in that the logged price changes are not assumed to follow some stable ...

Compound extreme event attribution: hot and dry events in Belgium

Compound weather and climate events refer to combinations of multiple weather and climate rivers and/or hazards that lead to potentially large impacts. Not only will single extreme events become more frequent in the future, but there will also be a higher likelihood of high-impact compound events. Extreme events are more likely to occur simultaneously,

Compound weather and climate events in 2025

Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
The spatio-temporal layering of weather and climate events produces impacts often greater than those associated with individual hazards. Such compounding interactions have contributed to some of the most high-impact disasters so far this century, partly owing to ever-increasing temperatures and an intensified hydrological cycle.

Extreme and compounding events in Pakistan

Globally, climate change is a vital issue which exacerbates many severe consequences and causes the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events. Extreme climatic events, such as flash flooding, heatwaves, and droughts, pose severe impacts on societies and ecosystems, due to their large spatial coverage and high intensity.
