Adjectives are typically felicitous in within-predicate comparisons—constructions of the form ‘X is more A than y’, as in This is bigger than that, but are often infelicitous in between-predicate comparisons—constructions of the form ‘X is more A than (y is) B’, as in *Tweety is bigger than (it is) heavy. Nouns, by contrast, exhibit the inverse pattern. The challenge is to ac...

1. I n t r o d u c t i o n To give a quanti tat ive description of strange-particle weak decays, several authors have suggested that the weak interaction Lagrangian Lw is an iso-spinor 1-4). This leads to the selection rule 6) IAII = ~, ]AUI = 1, which has been found fairly successful in various applications t. t The rule IAII = 1⁄2 is successful in giving a correct account of v, A and 2:+ deca...

Sampling of three sites on the upper Tongariro River was carried out in summer (January) 1996 to evaluate impacts of the Mt Ruapehu eruption and subsequent flushings of accumulated sediment from behind Rangipo Barrage on substrate, periphyton, invertebrates and blue duck (Hymenolaimus malacorhynchos) diet. Levels of sand and gravels increased markedly in summer 1996 in blue duck feeding habitat...

In an effort to improve wetland conditions on the highly regulated Upper Mississippi River, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted an experiment that involved using navigation dams to restore the stable, summer low water portion of the natural flow regime that would expose soil and permit establishment of moist-soil plant species. Plant response was measured and waterfowl surveys and behavi...

Introduction: Meridiani Planum is a vast plain of approximately horizontally bedded sedimentary rocks composed of mixed and reworked basaltic and evaporitic sands containing secondary, diagenetic minerals [e.g., 1-5]. Because bedding planes are subparallel to topography, investigation of contiguous stratigraphy requires examining exposures in impact craters. Early in the mission (sols 130-317),...

This paper considers the history of words for domesticated poultry, including ‘chicken’, ‘goose’, and ‘duck’, in China and mainland Southeast Asia to try to relate associated domestication events with specific language groups. Linguistic, archaeological and historical evidence supports Sinitic as one linguistic source, but in other cases, Tai and Austroasiatic 1 form additional centers of lexic...
