The Structure of Split Questions in Mandarin Chinese
This article proposes a pro analysis for split questions (SQs) in Chinese, dissimilar to the biclausal account employing focus movement and deletion in Arregi 2010 and the one employing the silent head in Kayne 2015 and Tang 2015.

Diurnal and seasonal patterns of global urban dry islands
Urban heat islands (UHIs) are a widely studied phenomenon, while research on urban-rural differences in humidity, the so called urban dry or moisture islands (UDIs, UMIs), is less common and a large-scale quantification of the seasonal and diurnal ...

How do individual cognitive differences relate to acceptability judgments?: A reply to Sprouse, Wagers, and Phillips [PDF]
Sprouse, Wagers, and Phillips (2012) carried out two experiments in which they measured individual differences in memory to test processing accounts of island effects. They found that these individual differences failed to predict the magnitude of island

Modeling lake trophic state: a random forest approach
Productivity of lentic ecosystems is well studied, and it is widely accepted that as nutrient inputs increase, productivity increases and lakes transition from lower trophic state (e.g., oligotrophic) to higher trophic states (e.g., eutrophic).

Non-linear effects in electron cyclotron current drive applied for the stabilization of neoclassical tearing modes [PDF]
Due to the smallness of the volumes associated with the flux surfaces around the O-point of a magnetic island, the electron cyclotron power density applied inside the island for the stabilization of neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) can exceed the ...

Comparative biogeography of volant and nonvolant mammals in a temperate island archipelago
Island biogeography theory is a foundational ecological concept that describes how island or habitat patch size and isolation predict biodiversity, but few have studied how the effects of island biogeography vary with life history characteristics of ...

Island mass effect in the Marquesas Islands: Time variation [PDF]
Chlorophyll a in the Marquesas islands has been analyzed for the period 1997–2002 as well as simultaneous sea surface height anomaly, sea surface temperature, wind and rainfall. For the first time, the seasonality of phytoplankton blooms is shown around the Marquesas Islands.

Distribution patterns of vines within the East Asian island chain
The northward dispersal of thermophilic plants along the East Asia island chain is influenced by cold stress, strait barrier and island effect. However, the impact of each parameter is not clear.
