Sr/ 86 Sr and 143 Nd/ 144 Nd isotopic signature in the Cascades, we divide the arc into four segments that correspond to distinct tectonic settings and reflect mantle domains and melting regimes at depth. The segments are: 1) the North Segment from Mt. Meager to Glacier Peak; 2) the Columbia Segment

in response to pictured objects (Experiment 3), and when place of articulation rather than voicing was manipulated (Experiment 4). The special status of identity suggests that segments are planning units independent of their features. The results are explained in terms of the WEAVER model of word

Calc-alkaline magmatism in the south-west Ukraine occurred between 13.8 and 9.1 Ma and formed an integral part of the Neogene subduction-related post-collisional Carpathian volcanic arc. Eruptions occurred contemporaneously in two parallel Ž.arcs here termed Outer Arc and Inner Arc in the Ukrainian

-early Miocene times the general deformation of the given part of the Alpine belt took place. It was caused by rotation of its Asia Minor-Balkan part relative to the more northern part of the belt. This rotation (30°-40 ” counter-clockwise) was accompanied by a shortening of the considered segment of the Alpine

requirements can be specified by grouping events together in a tree whose nodes indicate sequential and parallel composition. More specific timing constraints between events can be added in the form of synchronization arcs. User interaction is supported in the form of hyperlinks. We place CMIFed in the context

-pulmonic segments with the same anterior and posterior places of articulation differ in terms of airstream. Lingual stops employ a single airstream, while linguo-pulmonic stops are airstream contours. Structurally, linguo-pulmonic stops are parallel to affricates and prenasalized stops. Our evidence suggests that a

The Ecuadorian Yolcanic Arc (EY A), related to the Nazca Plate/Carnegie Ridge subduction under the South-American plate/North-Andean Block, corresponds to the southern segment of the Northern Andean Volcanic Zone (Fig. 1). Being exceptionally wide (more than 100 Km between 0 ° and lOS; Fig. 1

Segmentation and binding are cognitive operations which underlie the process of perception. They can be understood as taking place in the temporal domain, i.e. relying on features like simultaneity of neuronal firing. We demonstrate them in a system of oscillatory networks, consisting of Hebbian

controlled by the roll-back of the subsiding African lithosphere, remains at this point a discussion. We present circumstantial evidence to place the beginning of the roll back in the middle Miocene, during the accumulation of an arc-parallel, westward-draining fluvial complex. The continental succession
