If a language has contact with another language, there is a distinct possibility that language will make use of loan words from the language with which it has contact. All ·languages appear to do this, although not all do this to the same extent. There are a number of reasons why a language would use a loan word. There are also a number of reasons why a language would not. In general, it is the case that when a foreign item or concept is introduced into a culture, there is the possibility that that item will retain its original name, with a significant change in phonological (and possibly morphological) features. If we consider the case of English, we see numerous examples of this in recent years. Many Americans eat kimchi, sukiyaki (pronouneced/ suwkiyreki/) , goulash, borst, pulgogi, halupkis, pie a la mode, and eclairs. Not all at the same meal, of course. Many Americans can talk semi-intelligently about karate (pronounced/klnihtiy I), judo, sumo, or even tekwando. Many also know about haiku, kabuki, and noh. Even if the foreign concept is not entirely alien, the original name may be kept if there is something significant about it: thus, American~ freely talk about sputniks, even though we have the word satellite at our disposal
On the Status of the VP Node in Japanese
This paper will be concerned with determining the existence or non-existence of a VP node in Japanese. Following Schwartz (1972): 220, "the notion VP means, in the transitive case, a constituent whose head is a predicate and whose complement is a nominal in the patient relation to it." This concern may, of course, be explored on two different levels; a level of surface structure and a level of semantic representation.1 Both of these levels will be examined, and it will be shown that a VP node is an unnecessary feature of either level. As far as I can determine, there are five possible-and I must here emphasize the word possible-arguments for establishing a constituent VP2 in any language. In section I, each of these arguments will be discussed, and it will be shown that each argument is either not a valid argument, or if it is a valid argument, that it does not hold for Japanese. In section II, the implications of this fact will be discussed
Luminescence complementation technology for the identification of MYC:TRRAP inhibitors
Mechanism-based targeted therapies have exhibited remarkable success in treating otherwise untreatable or unresectable cancers. Novel targeted therapies that correct dysregulated transcriptional programs in cancer are an unmet medical need. The transcription factor MYC is the most frequently amplified gene in human cancer and is overexpressed because of mutations in an array of oncogenic signaling pathways. The fact that many cancer cells cannot survive without MYC - a phenomenon termed MYC addiction - provides a compelling case for the development of MYC-specific targeted therapies. We propose a new strategy to inhibit MYC function by disrupting its essential interaction with TRRAP using small molecules. To achieve our goal, we developed a platform using luminescence complementation for identifying small molecules as inhibitors of the MYC:TRRAP interaction. Here we present validation of this assay by measuring the disruption of TRRAP binding caused by substitutions to the invariant and essential MYC homology 2 region of MYC
Simultaneous position and mass determination of a nanoscale-thickness cantilever sensor in viscous fluids
We report simultaneous determination of the mass and position of micro-beads attached to a nanoscale-thickness cantilever sensor by analyzing wave propagations along the cantilever while taking into account viscous and inertial loading due to a surrounding fluid. The fluid-structure interaction was identified by measuring the change in the wavenumber under different fluid conditions. The predicted positions and masses agreed with actual measurements. Even at large mass ratios (6%-21%) of the beads to the cantilever, this wave approach enabled accurate determination of the mass and position, demonstrating the potential for highly accurate cantilever sensing of particle-based bio-analytes such as bacteria. © 2015 AIP Publishing LLCopen0
Nonadiabatic decoherence control of qubits strongly coupled to continuum edge
We propose a method for controlling the decoherence of a driven qubit that is
strongly coupled to a reservoir, when the qubit resonance frequency is close to
a continuum edge of the reservoir spectum. This strong-coupling regime is
outside the scope of existing methods of decoherence control. We demonstate
that an appropriate sequence of nearly abrupt changes of the resonance
frequency can protect the qubit state from decay and decoherence more
effectively than the intuitively obvious alternative, which is to fix the
resonance well within a forbidden bandgap of the reservoir spectrum, as far as
possible from the continuum edge. The "counterintuitive" nonadiabatic method
outlined here can outperform its adiabatic counterparts in maintaining a high
fidelity of quantum logic operations. The remarkable effectiveness of the
proposed method, which requires much lower rates of frequency changes than
previously proposed control methods, is due to the ability of appropriately
alternating detunings from the continuum edge to augment the interference of
the emitted and back-scattered quanta, thereby helping to stabilize the qubit
state against decay. Applications to the control of decoherence near the edge
of radiative, vibrational an photoionization continua are discussed.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
