TL;DR: This paper focusses on certain aspects of the antisymmetry hypothesis of Kayne (1994) and their implications for Japanese and the relation between S-H-C and the question of OV/VO order.
Abstract: This paper focusses on certain aspects of the antisymmetry hypothesis of Kayne (1994) and their implications for Japanese. The relation between S-H-C and the question of OV/VO order is discussed. The solidity of the antisymmetry hypothesis is enhanced by some previously undiscussed cross-linguistic gaps, i.e. imaginable language types that appear never to occur. Adpositions are cross-linguistically paired with a Khead ; DP-movement to Spec, K and VP-movement to Spec, P/P' cut across prepositional and postpositional languages, in a way different from Kayne (1994). Complementizers are treated briefly.*

TL;DR: The status of Turkish vis-a-vis Kayne's conjecture is addressed explicitly in Kural as discussed by the authors, who argues for a head-final, specifier-initial structure, which, crucially, also allows for adjunction to the right of maximal projections.
Abstract: As can be seen in (1), embedded clauses in Turkish typically take the form of nominalizations (participle constructions/gerunds) which behave as noun phrases (in that they are casemarked, take possessor subjects in the genitive case, take possessor agreement endings, and do not—necessarily—appear in extraposition). Turkish, then, is a more typical example of an OVlanguage than for instance Dutch (which may be successfully analyzed as a head-initial language, cf. Zwart 1994). The status of Turkish vis-a-vis Kayne’s conjecture is addressed explicitly in Kural (1997). Kural argues for a head-final, specifier-initial structure, which, crucially, also allows for adjunction to the right of maximal projections:

TL;DR: In this article, the mature plate theory and the composite materials laminate theory are applied to analyze the HAC structure, and in this way a new concept and a new idea are expected.
Abstract: Starting from the physical features of materials, heterogeneous anisotropic composites (HACs) are analysed on the basis of the understanding and applications of its equivalent antisymmetry performance. Moreover, the design parameter is optimized to attain the goal of maximizing the use of materials, which is quite meaningful. The HAC structure is defined as a kind of equivalent structures according to the structure and properties of materials. We apply the mature plate theory and the composite materials laminate theory in analysis of the HAC structure, and in this way a new concept and a new idea are expected.
