More than a Topic Marker: The Functions of a in Mandarin Chinese

open access: yesQuaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali
This study investigates the role of the Chinese particle a as a Topic Marker (TM). Our findings show that TM-a is closely tied to Speaker/Writer Attitude and is context-dependent, typically marking a Topic selected from a broader set of entities.

Beyond the Adversarial Rivalry: A Developmental Rights‐Based Model for Minor‐on‐Minor Crime, Part 1

open access: yesBehavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When children harm children, the conventional victim–perpetrator framework is ill‐equipped to address the developmental, relational, and institutional complexities involved. While juvenile justice scholarship increasingly emphasizes rehabilitation, and victims' rights literature has advanced child‐sensitive protection, minor‐on‐minor offending

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions

open access: yesCivil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

Tunable amylopectin graft copolymers for flocculating and dewatering iron ore tailings

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Polyacrylamide (PAM), the standard flocculant for mining tailings, often produces turbid supernatants and poorly dewatered sediments, limiting water reuse and tailings densification. We synthesized amylopectin‐graft‐poly[(2‐methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (AP‐g‐PMETAC) copolymers with systematically varied graft frequency (N =

The semantic function of the sentence-final particle "NE" which appears in the sentence expressing feeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
本稿は、実際の会話から感情を表現する文の文末に現れる終助詞「ね」を観察し、話し手が聞き手に対してどのような配慮をしているのかについて考察したものである。終助詞「ね」の使用状況を4つの使用場面に分類し、各場面を分析した結果、どの場面にも共通して、聞き手との対立を避けるため自分をアピールしないようにしながら自分の感情を聞き手に伝えようとする話し手の配慮が見られた。話し手の感情をひとつの情報として聞き手に伝えるとき、終助詞「ね」は聞き手との対立を避けながら聞き手への配慮を示す役割として機能しているといえる ...

Orthogonal learning particle swarm optimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) relies on its learning strategy to guide its search direction. Traditionally, each particle utilizes its historical best experience and its neighborhood’s best experience through linear summation.

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

First 20 Years of Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry as the Mainstream Analytical Technique

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review traces the first 20 years of Orbitrap mass spectrometry as a mainstream high‑resolution and accurate‑mass (HR/AM) technology. It outlines the historical development of the Orbitrap analyzer, the evolution of major instrument families, and the key technological innovations that enabled its widespread adoption. Particular emphasis is

The Vietnamese Polyfunctional Marker Mà as a Generalized Linker: A Multilevel Approach

open access: yesJournal of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society, 2019
The main aim of this paper is to illustrate the notions of polyfunctionality and transcategoriality as described in Robert (2003, 2004) through the case study of the marker mà in modern Vietnamese.

Missense Variants in the A Isoform of FGF13 as a Novel Cause of Paroxysmal Dyskinesia

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Pathogenic variants within the unique N‐terminal inactivation particle of FGF13 isoform A (FGF13A) have so far been associated only with an X‐linked dominant epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Objective The aim was to expand the clinical and molecular spectrum of FGF13A‐related disorder.
