A list of common expressions featuring the postposition ko.

The principal use of ko is to mark an object. In mE# ram ko btaËÅga “I’ll tell Ram”, ram is said to be the DIRECT object because the action of telling is done to him directly. In mE# yh toh¿Pa ram ko dUÅga “I’ll give this present to Ram”, ko means “to” and is used to mark the INDIRECT object ram; the direct object is yh toh¿Pa and does not take ko. Another use of ko is to pinpoint days of the week or times of day: gu<var ko “on Thursday”, subh ko “in the morning”, xam ko “in the evening”, rat ko “at night” (but idn me# “in the daytime”). So much for the primary uses of ko. The purpose of this handout is to list some of the very numerous constructions and expressions in which ko has a different function. While expressions such as “I have a cold” or “I like bananas” have “I” as subject in English, in Hindi this “logical subject” takes ko (muJko) and the cold or the banana becomes the grammatical subject, with which the verb agrees (¿jukam hE): muJko ¿jkam hE “I have a cold”, muJko kele psMd hE# “I like bananas”. Each of these expressions can refer to either a male or a female, because the pronoun has no gender. And muJko can of course be replaced by its synonym muJe. Familiarise yourself with this list by reading it aloud, and try some substitution exercises by changing the “I” to other pronouns and tenses — “She has a cold, they had a cold”, etc. Then read the note at the end.Asian Studie

Strange Mesons as a Probe for Dense Nuclear Matter

The production and propagation of kaons and antikaons has been studied in symmetric nucleus-nucleus collisions in the SIS energy range. The ratio of the excitation functions of K^+ production in Au+Au and C+C collisions increases with decreasing beam energy. This effect was predicted for a soft nuclear equation-of-state. In noncentral Au+Au collisions, the K^+ mesons are preferentially emitted perpendicular to the reaction plane. The K^-/K^+ ratio from A+A collisions at beam energies which are equivalent with respect to the threshold is found to be about two orders of magnitude larger than the corresponding ratio from proton-proton collisions. Both effects are considered to be experimental signatures for a modification of kaon properties in the dense nuclear medium.Comment: Talk given at the Erice School on Nuclear Physics, Erice, Sicily, Italy, Sept. 17-25, 199

Knockout of arsenic (+3 oxidation state) methyltransferase results in sex-dependent changes in phosphatidylcholine metabolism in mice

Arsenic (+3 oxidation state) methyltransferase is the key enzyme in the methylation pathway for inorganic arsenic. We have recently shown that As3mt knockout (KO) has a profound effect on metabolomic profiles in mice. Phosphatidylcholine species (PCs) were the largest group of metabolites altered in both plasma and urine. The present study used targeted analysis to investigate the KO-associated changes in PC profiles in the liver, the site of PC synthesis. Results show that As3mt KO has a systemic effect on PC metabolism and that this effect is sex dependent

KO AND RIKA IN JAVANESE OF TEGAL

Javanese has a variety of dialects and one of them is the one spoken in Tegal and its surrounding regions such as Pemalang and Brebes. The language variation used in the region is characterized, among others, by the pronunciation of some words which are different from the Javanese standard language spoken in Surakarta and Yogyakarta. To give an example, the Javanese word “sapa”, is pronounced [sapa] in Tegal, while the same word is pronounced [sOpO] in Surakarta and Yogyakarta. This paper will try to explore the word ko and rika, two address terms used in Tegal region. The discussion will cover the questions such as: what are these two words, when and where do we use them, whom do we speak to using the words and what factors may influence the use of the two words
