Tooth erosion : prevention and treatment
No full text"Erosion frequently coexists to varying extents with other tooth wear processes, such as abrasion and attrition, but erosion is often not recognized as being present or is confused withother wear mechanisms." "The aim of this book is to inform ... of the causes and treatment of tooth surface loss from erosion. Chapters are presented as a series of extensively-referenced articles, which include information on the importance of the oral environment and lifestyle behaviors in influencing tooth erosion, and practial information on the preventionof tooth erosion and the restoration of lost tooth substance." --pref.Kevin HK Yip, Roger J Smales, John A Kaidoni

US v. Yip, 930 F. 2d 142 - Court of Appeals, 2nd Circuit 1991
No full textJudge Miner\u27s dissent begins on page 153
Matthew Yip appeals from a judgment entered on May 5, 1989 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Costantino, J.), convicting him, after a jury trial, of 14 counts of mail fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341 (1988), and 59 counts of depriving the United States of lawful duty payments in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 542 (1988). On appeal he contends, inter alia, there was insufficient evidence to support the § 1341 mail fraud convictions, and that the importation of goods using non-fraudulent invoices, followed by the failure to pay customs duties owed on those goods, is not a criminal act within the meaning of § 542. As the principal owner of a customs brokerage house (Airway Shipping), Yip admits he made personal use of funds his clients turned over to him to satisfy their customs obligations to the government. He claims those practices of diverting funds to other businesses and to his own personal use — practices which eventually helped to drive his business into bankruptcy — may have been those of an irresponsible businessman, but did not constitute criminal conduct.
The government responds that under the statute all acts that may deprive the Customs agency of duties are made criminal. Our principal task on this appeal is to determine whether the statute is so all-encompassing. We affirm the mail fraud convictions, but reverse the convictions under the customs counts and remand those counts for a new trial
Lexicon Optimization in Languages without Alternations
No full textLanguages with few or no alternations have never fitted smoothly into rule-based theories with a commitment to lexical economy. To derive rich surface inventories from more parsimonious underlying inventories, it was necessary to postulate abstract underlying forms even for morphemes which only ever surfaced with one particular allophone. Even if lexical economy was demoted as a paramount consideration, the occurrence of alternations in one small corner of the grammar, such as in loanwords, still forced the linguist back to the abstract and rule-based analysis. This was so because the alternative, a set of phonotactic statements about the surface distribution of allophones, could not alone produce alternations: only rules could do that, and once the grammar included rules, they could be made use of for other purposes, including the non-alternating forms. Output-based theories are tailor-made for language of this type. Surface-true generalizations can be trivially dealt with. When alternations are encountered, they can be understood as the direct result of the pressure to observe these surface constraints, and no special rules are needed.
Using data from vowel systems in several Chinese dialects, Mandarin palatal consonants, and Chaoyang nasalization, it is argued that abstract underlying representations and rules that produce surface forms are highly inefficient for non-alternating systems, in that they frequently require both rules that derive A from B, and rules that derive B from A, in the same contexts. It is proposed that language is learnt on the basis of core data, and that non-core data - language games, poetry, speech errors, onomatopoeia, loanwords - can be used as a probe to investigate the nature of the underlying representations. This paper finds inconclusive evidence for abstract underlying representations, and concludes that the balance of the evidence suggests that learners acquire something rather close to what they hear, unless information from alternations or paradigms forces them to do otherwise. These findings provide support for Lexicon Optimization (Prince and Smolensky 1993).The definitive version of this paper was published in Current Trends in Phonology: Models and Methods (1996)Yip, M.
