It has been claimed that Russian смочь ‘be able, manage (to)’ has a number of unusual properties relating to its expression of aspect and tense. A number of new kinds of data are brought to bear in this debate. This article compares смочь with its purported aspectual partner verb мочь using overall and longitudinal corpus data. It also compares the distribution of forms of смочь with those of other ...

A woman in a spotted dress sits in a living room equipped with modern furniture, carpets and cushions, a houseplant on a woven tablecloth, pictures and lamps on the walls, and in the corner a radio cabinet and a rocking horse for the children (Figure 1). She seems confident and relaxed, dressed up and ready to make her home a showcase for the photographer. As this woman is portrayed with two small ...

The paper casts an eye on the teacher of the gifted as well as on the teacher in general. There seems to be a consensus that gifted students have special needs, that they also need teacher with special abilities, but have the teachers to be gifted, too? A view in the relevant literature shows a lot of research, discussion and reflection around the characteristics, the role and the education of ...

Parallelt med tiltagende lukking av de store fiskeriene i Norge, har det skjedd en nedgang i antall fiskere, samtidig som også færre rekrutteres til fiske. Spørsmålet her er om fiskere har blitt skjøvet ut av yrket eller om de har sluttet av andre grunner? En undersøkelse blant fiskere som har sluttet, tyder på at utviklinga i andre næringer og i samfunnet har hatt innvirkning på sysselsettingssystemet ...

The insertion of CO2 into metal alkyl bonds is a crucial elementary step in transition metal-catalyzed processes for CO2 utilization. Here, we synthesize pincer-supported palladium complexes of the type (tBuPBP)Pd(alkyl) (tBuPBP = B(NCH2PtBu2)2C6H4−; alkyl = CH2CH3, CH2CH2CH3, CH2C6H5, and CH2-4-OMe-C6H4) and (tBuPBP)Pd(C6H5) and compare the rates of CO2 insertion into the palladium alkyl bonds to ...

Background - Damaging alterations in the BRCA1 gene have been extensively described as one of the main causes of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). BRCA1 alterations can lead to impaired homologous recombination repair (HRR) of double-stranded DNA breaks, a process which involves the RING, BRCT and coiled-coil domains of the BRCA1 protein. In addition, the BRCA1 protein is involved in ...

Infrared (IR) and passive microwave (PMW) satellite sea surface temperature (SST) retrievals are valuable to assimilate into high-resolution regional ocean forecast models. Still, there are issues related to these SSTs that need to be addressed to achieve improved ocean forecasts. Firstly, satellite SST products tend to be biased. Assimilating SSTs from different providers can thus cause the ocean ...

Due to the lack of clinical, immunologic, genetic, and laboratory markers to predict remission in ulcerative colitis (UC) without relapse, there is no clear recommendation regarding withdrawal of therapy. Therefore, this study was to investigate if transcriptional analysis together with Cox survival analysis might be able to reveal molecular markers that are specific for remission duration and ...
