Contrasting contrastive-topicalization strategies
This paper offers a comparison and preliminary analysis of ‘topicalization’ strategies in German, Basque, and English. I argue that Basque and English topics at the left periphery are dislocated elements resumed by pronominal correlates, a configuration more directly evidenced in German.

Crystal structure of diethyl 3,3′-[(2-fluorophenyl)methylidene]bis(1H-indole-2-carboxylate)
In the title compound, C29H25FN2O4, the mean planes of the two indole ring systems (r.m.s. deviations = 0.1392 and 0.0115 Å) are approximately perpendicular to one another, subtending a dihedral angle of 86.0 (5)°; the benzene ring is twisted with ...

Influence of contrast media dose and osmolality on the diagnostic performance of contrast fractional flow reserve [PDF]
Background—Contrast fractional flow reserve (cFFR) is a method for assessing functional significance of coronary stenoses, which is more accurate than resting indices and does not require adenosine.

The functional role of contrast adaptation [PDF]
Prolonged inspection of high contrast sinewave gratings increases the contrast required to detect gratings having a similar spatial frequency and orientation. The functional role of such adaptation has, however, in the past, eluded disclosure.

Perceived contrast, contrast detection thresholds and contrast discrimination thresholds were measured in the presence and absence of surrounding patterns of a similar spatio-temporal makeup. In the foveal retina we found that the perceived contrast of the central pattern was reduced by the presence of the contrast surrounds with the effect being ...
