The syntax of psycho-collocations in Hakha Lai by VanBik, Kenneth

“…This paper investigates the unique property of the syntax of psycho-collocations in Lai which allows an ambitransitivity analyzed as a kind of grammaticalization. The author claims that this syntactic phenomenon is possible because the syntax is constructed around the possessor of the psycho-nouns who remains the psychological reference regardless of whether the stimulus is expressed by a subject or an object clitic.…”

Multiobjectives design of a multirate output controller by Shen, Liang.

“…As the sampled-data control system, which consists of a MROC, is a hybrid, time-varying system (periodic), we must use some norm-equivalent methods to first convert this kind of system to a time-invariant system. Among these methods, we first use the fast discretization technology to discretize the ·whole system, then use the discrete lifting to convert a MROC system to a suitable discrete-time system, in the sense that the robust index from the input signals to the output signals still remain the same.…”
