  • Perspectives on the Coordination of Movement

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 61
    • S.A. Wallace
    • English
    Is there a `right way' to study coordination? What experimental paradigms are appropriate? Are there laws and principles that the biological system uses to coordinate movement? Do all biological systems - human and otherwise - share these same principles? Is coordination inherited or acquired? Is it a central nervous system, muscular, or mechanical problem? Indeed, what is coordination and how can it be quantified?This volume attempts to help to answer some of these questions by bringing together a collection of conceptual approaches to and empirical investigations of the coordination of movement. The authors of the chapters are well known and respected researchers from a variety of disciplines.New theoretical developments such as in synergetics and dynamic pattern formation are presented together with extensive reviews and new experimental work on infant motor behavior, and the coordination of prehension, multi-limb, gait and speech movement. The volume contains perspectives on the problem of movement coordination relevant to various disciplines such as psychology, biology, engineering and robotics, physical education, physical therapy, kinesiology and physiology and so will be of interest to all students and scientists working in such fields.

  • Japanese Generative Grammar

    Syntax and Semantics
    • 1st Edition
    • Masayoshi Shibatani
    • English
    Syntax and Semantics, Volume 5: Japanese Generative Grammar focuses on the systematic application of the theory of generative grammar to the Japanese language. The phenomenon of reflexivization and its relationship to grammatical constructions, and how various grammatical constructions are systematically related to each other, are examined. The theoretical aspects of various grammatical structures of the Japanese language are also discussed. Comprised of 12 chapters, this volume begins with an introduction to the concept of subject in grammar, followed by an analysis of subject raising as a syntactic device in Japanese and other subject–object–verb (SOV) languages. Subsequent chapters explore the syntax and semantics of Japanese reflexivization, passivization, and causativization, along with relativization, complementation, and negation. Tense, aspect, and modality are also considered, along with the semantics of nominal compounds. The book concludes with an assessment of honorification as a salient feature of the Japanese language and the grammatical system of honorifics. This monograph will be of interest to grammarians and linguists.

  • Notes from the Linguistic Underground

    Syntax and Semantics
    • 1st Edition
    • James D. McCawley
    • English
    Syntax and Semantics, Volume 7: Notes from the Linguistic Underground is a collection of articles that were written in the 1960s, which has never before appeared in a regular, English language publication. The papers contained in this compendium provide the history and information on the development of transformational grammar and generative semantics. The book presents articles that discuss topics on reflexivization, transformations, past tense replacement and the modal system, and pro-sentential forms and their implications for English sentence structure. Papers that tackle syntactic orientation, some constraints on pronominalization, discourse referents, and the verb-object agreement rule and the wh-movement rule in Hungarian are likewise included. Linguists and linguistic historians will find the book invaluable.

    Progress in Physiological Psychology, Volume 3 reviews major advances in the field of physiological psychology and includes neurological and physiological treatments of sleep, information storage, and hibernation. The mechanisms underlying sensorimotor integration during sleep are highlighted, along with central nervous control over the physiological regulation of hibernation. This volume is comprised of four chapters and begins with a discussion on changes in sensory and motor physiology that occur during sleep, with emphasis on postural reflexes and motor activity as well as transmission of somatic sensory volleys through spinal reflex pathways. It then looks at the role of neuronal membranes in the storage of information in the central nervous system, along with hibernation and its relationship to neurological mechanisms involved in temperature regulation and motivation. The final chapter focuses on the effects of removing striate cortex on residual vision in monkeys. This monograph will be of interest to neurophysiologists and psychologists.

    From Project to Production discusses the plans and development of an engineering project in any industry which yields or uses engineering plant of any kind. The book defines the concept behind project engineering and it also describes the administrative procedure involved in the completion of a project. It provides guidelines in order to effectively evaluate and monitor the progress of a project. The text demonstrates the important role of an industrial designer. Topics such as machine element analysis and synthesis, circuit calculations, design and drafting are explained in detail. Types of method of scheduling such as the C.P.M (critical path method), M.O.S.T (management operation system), R.A.M.P.S (resource allocation and multi-project scheduling), and P.E.R.T (programme evaluation and review technique) are discussed and analyzed. A section of the book describes the characteristics of a good engineering design. It also provides some design techniques. The book will provide useful information to design engineer, draftsman, and students of engineering.
