We understand it because we understand its component words and because we understand the compositional mechanisms through which words combine to form meaningful sentences.
The task was based on the visual presentation of written sentences in order to test the cortico-spinal excitability while subjects were reading the whole sentence (i.e. compositional mechanisms of language) instead of hearing the verb, as in [14].
Moreover, unlike a previous study using auditory presentation of single words [14], we used visual presentation of sentences that allowed us to test language processing at the sentence level and thus the effects of the compositional mechanisms of language more than the processing of the single verb [14].
Here, we describe the composite actuation mechanism using microstructural, thermal and compositional analysis of the material comprising of 0 20 vol% ethanol.
This paper presents experimental evidence of homogeneous precipitation of the α-phase within the β matrix of a titanium alloy, and then accounts for this phase transformation by a new, non-classical mechanism involving compositional fluctuations, based on the pseudo-spinodal concept [1].
For a given alloy composition, the decomposition mechanism is strongly temperature dependent, which would be expected for homogeneous precipitation via the compositional fluctuation-mediated mechanism but not necessarily for one based on classical nucleation theory.
The formation mechanism (pore – composition dependence) and compositional homogeneity in the case of MBG materials are different from those in conventional BGs.
One such challenge focuses on "inter-level" explanations in the form of compositional redescription and causal mechanisms (Wimsatt 1976).
Phage predation of successfully proliferating microbes, known as the 'kill-the-winner' hypothesis, has been proposed as one of the mechanisms underlying the compositional stability of microbial communities, and the involvement of this mechanism has been supported in aquatic environments.
This mechanism involves local compositional fluctuations of small amplitude which, when of a certain magnitude, can favor thermodynamically certain regions of the β matrix to transform congruently to the α-phase but with compositions far from equilibrium.
