Property Delay (Remarks on “Phase Extension” by Marcel den Dikken)
Authors: Pesetsky David 
Published: August 2007

Abstract

1. Truth in unpackaging

In his paper, den Dikken argues that several syntactic and semantic phenomena provide evidence for a package of proposals that includes the following four claims:

(1) Phase Extension

“Syntactic movement of the head H of a phase α up to the head X of the node β dominating α extends the phase up from α to β; α loses its phasehood in the process, and any constituent on the edge of α ends up in the domain of the derived phase β as a result of Phase Extension”. (den Dikken's (3))

(2) Phase Impenetrability Condition as in Chomsky (2000, passim) [PIC] “[I]n phase α with head H, the domain [of H] is not accessible to operations outside α, only H and its edge are accessible to such operations”. (den Dikken's (1))

(3) Adjunction Prohibition

“[A]djunction to meaningless categories is disallowed.”
(den Dikken's (18))

(4) Inherent Phase

“[A]n inherent phase is a predication (subject–predicate structure).”
(den Dikken's (2))
Phase Extension: A reply
Authors: Dikken Marcel den 
Published: August 2007

Abstract
Phase Extension is a theory of ‘domain widening” resulting from movement of the head of a phase (either an inherent phase or a derived phase that is itself the result of Phase Extension) to the next head up the tree. Phase Extension is the automatic and unavoidable result of movement of such head movement. It saves some operations that would be ungrammatical without its application, but it blocks others that would have been perfectly legitimate if no Phase Extension had taken place. In my target paper, I presented a variety of empirical domains in which Phase Extension provides an explanatory account for otherwise often quite recalcitrant data. In the following pages, I address many of the comments and questions raised by my commentators regarding some of the empirical proposals, the technical ingredients of the theory, and their conceptual underpinnings. In the closing section, I will consider Pesetsky's alternative ‘property delay’ model, and point to some areas where it makes predictions that are dierent from, and as far as I can see less accurate than, those made by the Phase Extension theory.

Published: August 2007

Abstract
Trematode parasites can cause massive infections in commercially raised fish. The most promising approach for the control of these infections is the reduction or elimination of snails that serve as vectors for the trematodes. A recent approach, the application of high concentrations of slurried hydrated lime (SHL) or copper sulfate pentahydrate (CSP) along pond margins (shoreline treatment), has shown promise in reducing populations of the marsh rams-horn snail Planorbella trivolvis (the snail vector of Bolbophorus damnificus and Clinostomum marginatum) in experimental ponds. While CSP has been shown to effectively reduce snail numbers, treatment efficacy and application methods using SHL have not been well defined. Four SHL treatments were evaluated for their ability to kill marsh rams-horn snails in experimental units designed to mimic commercial aquaculture ponds. The treatments were applied at water temperatures of 75–79°F (24–26°C), total alkalinity of 137–257 mg CaCO3/L of water, and total hardness of 86–120 mg CaCO3/L. All tested SHL applications reduced snail numbers; however, the applications of 100 lb of hydrated lime per 100 linear feet (3-ft swath) and 175 lb per 100 ft (6-ft swath) were the most effective, resulting in 97.2% and 98.3% reductions in snail survival, respectively.
Summer Microhabitat Use of Fluvial Bull Trout in Eastern Oregon Streams

Published: August 2007

Abstract
The management and recovery of populations of bull trout Salvelinus confluentus requires a comprehensive understanding of habitat use across different systems, life stages, and life history forms. To address these needs, we collected microhabitat use and availability data in three fluvial populations of bull trout in eastern Oregon. We evaluated diel differences in microhabitat use, the consistency of microhabitat use across systems and size-classes based on preference, and our ability to predict bull trout microhabitat use. Diel comparisons suggested bull trout continue to use deeper microhabitats with cover but shift into significantly slower habitats during nighttime periods; however, we observed no discrete differences in substrate use patterns across diel periods. Across life stages, we found that both juvenile and adult bull trout used slow-velocity microhabitats with cover, but the use of specific types varied. Both logistic regression and habitat preference analyses suggested that adult bull trout used deeper habitats than juveniles. Habitat preference analyses suggested that bull trout habitat use was consistent across all three systems, as chi-square tests rejected the null hypotheses that microhabitats were used in proportion to those available (P &lt; 0.0001). Validation analyses indicated that the logistic regression models (juvenile and adult) were effective at predicting bull trout absence across all tests (specificity values = 100%); however, our ability to accurately predict bull trout absence was limited (sensitivity values = 0% across all tests). Our results highlight the limitations of the models used to predict microhabitat use for fish species like bull trout, which occur at naturally low densities. However, our results also demonstrate that bull trout microhabitat use patterns are generally consistent across systems, a pattern that parallels observations at both similar and larger scales and across life history forms. Thus, our results, in combination with previous bull trout habitat studies, provide managers with benchmarks for restoration in highly degraded systems.

Abstract
Populations of Atlantic sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus are at historically low levels along the Atlantic coast of North America. Atlantic sturgeon is a long-lived species with a complex life history, making population assessment difficult. The purpose of this study was to determine seasonal habitat use by juvenile Atlantic sturgeon in the Hudson River estuary and provide recommendations for future population monitoring. Our study focused on Newburgh and Haverstraw bays in the Hudson River, as these are areas of known juvenile sturgeon concentrations. The habitat within each bay was coarsely stratified according to substrate (hard versus soft) and depth (deep versus shallow). Sampling occurred during fall 2003, spring and fall 2004, and spring and fall 2005. Fall sampling occurred from October through November and spring sampling occurred from March through April. We used anchored gill nets of 76-, 102-, and 127-mm stretch mesh fished together at a sampling site. A total of 562 individual juvenile Atlantic sturgeon were captured during the course of this study (14 were captured more than once), the majority (90%) coming from Haverstraw Bay. Soft and deep habitat comprised only 25% of the available habitat in Haverstraw Bay but yielded the greatest frequency of catches, the highest mean catch per unit effort (CPUE), and lowest variance of CPUE. Catch per unit effort was highest during spring seasons in soft–deep areas of Haverstraw Bay. These results suggest that future population monitoring should focus sampling effort in soft–deep areas of Haverstraw Bay to have the greatest statistical power in detecting population trends.

Study Objective. To determine whether lung transplant recipients would have a less vigorous T‐cell response to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) than that of patients awaiting lung transplantation and healthy subjects, we sought to measure and compare T‐cell responses among these three groups.Design. Prospective study.Setting. Lung transplant clinic at a university hospital.Subjects. Twelve lung transplant recipients, 12 patients awaiting lung transplantation, and 15 healthy subjects. All participants had received the hepatitis B vaccine series and had a documented antibody response to it.Intervention. Blood samples were obtained from each participant.Measurements and Main Results. Participants' sex, age, time since lung transplantation (if applicable), and time since hepatitis B immunization were recorded. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from the participants' blood samples for the trans vivo delayed‐type hypersensitivity (DTH) assay. These cells were mixed with saline, tetanus toxoid, or HBsAg and injected into the footpads of immunodeficient mice. Resultant swelling of the footpad was used as an index of human T‐cell response. The healthy subjects were younger than the patients in both transplant groups. However, we found no significant difference in DTH response elicited by HBsAg among the healthy subjects, patients awaiting lung transplantation, and lung transplant recipients (mean ± standard error [SE] 34.7 ± 4.3, 32.1 ± 3.1, and 33.5 ± 4.0 × 10−4 in., respectively, p>0.8) or when tetanus toxoid was used as a positive control (15.7 ± 2.8, 22.8 ± 6.5, and 21.7 ± 3.9 × 10−4 in., respectively, p>0.3). No correlation between age or time since immunization and DTH response was noted.Conclusion. Lung transplant recipients maintained a T‐cell response to HBsAg that was similar in vigor to that of both patients awaiting transplantation and healthy subjects even though their antibody concentrations waned rapidly after transplantation. The role of these T cells as a correlate of protection from infection remains to be investigated.

Published: August 2007

Study Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of enoxaparin therapy in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).Design. Retrospective chart review.Setting. Level III NICU in a Canadian academic center.Patients. All neonates treated with enoxaparin while in the NICU between January 1, 1998, and June 1, 2006.Measurements and Main Results. Data abstracted included patient demographics, diagnosis of thrombosis and its progression, enoxaparin dosages with corresponding antifactor Xa levels, and adverse events. Sixteen neonates (four term, 12 preterm) were treated with enoxaparin at a mean ± SD initial subcutaneous dose of 1.41 ± 0.15 mg/kg every 12 hours. The target therapeutic range (antifactor Xa level 0.5‐1.0 U/ml) was achieved by 12 infants at a mean ± SD dose of 1.92 ± 0.43 mg/kg every 12 hours, after a mean of 5.6 days (range 1–15 days). Preterm infants required a higher dose (per kilogram) compared with term infants to maintain therapeutic antifactor Xa levels (mean ± SD 1.94 ± 0.39 vs 1.65 ± 0.14 mg/kg every 12 hrs, p<0.001). Enoxaparin doses were more strongly correlated to antifactor Xa levels in term infants (r2=0.51, p<0.001) compared with preterm infants (r2=0.20, p<0.001). Ten (71%) of 14 thromboembolic events resolved, either partially or completely, at a mean of 39 days (range 8–61 days) of enoxaparin therapy. Nine infants (56%) experienced minor local adverse effects at the site of the indwelling subcutaneous catheter (induration, bruises, hematomas, or leakage). Systemic adverse events that were possibly related to enoxaparin therapy included osteopenia (one infant), scleral hemorrhage (one), and minor gastrointestinal tract bleeding (three) found in gastric feeding tubes. No adverse effects were associated with antifactor Xa levels greater than 1.0 U/ml.Conclusion. Enoxaparin may be effective in the treatment of neonatal thrombosis. An initial dosage of 1.5 mg/kg every 12 hours is likely inadequate to obtain therapeutic antifactor Xa levels rapidly and differs for term and preterm neonates. Therapeutic levels in preterm infants may be more variable, and the pharmacokinetics of this drug in preterm infants requires further evaluation. Future studies in neonates should prospectively evaluate a higher starting dose of enoxaparin to document effectiveness, acceptance, compliance with treatment guidelines, and adverse effects.

Published: August 2007

AbstractPower efficiency demands on mobile communication device displays have become severe with the emergence of full video capable phones and mobile telephony services such as the third‐generation networks (3G). One way of reducing the power dissipation of a mobile liquid‐crystal display (LCD) is to efficiently distribute and outcouple the light available in the backlight unit (BLU) to direct the light in a spectrum‐specific fashion through the respective color pixels. This paper describes a diffractive optics approach to realize a novel backlight unit. A model grating structure was fabricated and the outcoupled distribution of light was studied. The results verify that the new BLU concept based on an array of spectrum‐specific gratings is possible.

9.6L: Late‐News Paper: Cost‐Effective Ultrathin RPTVs Can Reverse Falling Market Share Relative to FPDs
Authors: Ramachandran Gopal , Prior Greg 
Published: August 2007

AbstractRear Projection TVs are losing market share to LCD and Plasma TVs due to three major issues: ‐form factor (thin depth, small bezel, and small chin demanded by consumers); ‐cost (acquisition cost relative to LCD and Plasma TVs as well as ownership and maintenance costs such as lamp replacement, power consumption, etc); ‐performance (wide viewing angles, bright displays, saturated colors are desired and display‐related artifacts such as misconvergence, field‐sequential color breakup, color non‐uniformities, and optical aberrations are NOT desired). The objective of this paper is to introduce electronic means to help solve these problems. A geometry correction processor was defined to compensate for: ‐lens distortion and lateral chromatic aberration; ‐misconvergence and misalignment of multi‐panel systems; ‐brightness and color non‐uniformities caused by light collection errors, light modulator deficiencies, vignetting, and dichroic coating dependencies on incident angles. The processor became available in December 2006 and this paper provides some preliminary testing results and concludes by suggesting a 3xLCOS RPTV application with compelling specifications: ‐laser illumination; ‐dimensions of 55″ diagonal by 5″ deep; ‐imperceptible chromatic aberrations and optical distortions; ‐imperceptible color and brightness non‐uniformities; ‐imperceptible misconvergence or misalignment; ‐the possibility to realign and recalibrate easily in the field; ‐same or reduced BOM cost.

Published: August 2007

AbstractThis paper proposes a mixed color sequential (MCS) algorithm with high contrast enhancement technique in RGB LED backlight display. Owing to synchronous control of LCD and LED panels, high quality image with suppressed color breakup and motion blur effects is achieved by our novel color sequential technique. Furthermore, high contrast image is also presented in LCD panel because of mixed RGB and CMY backlights with optimum power consumption. In other words, MCS algorithm with high contrast enhancement technique can have the better performance compared with other field sequential color techniques.
