The importance of weather for tourism is now widely recognized. However, no research has so far addressed weather events from retrospective viewpoints, and, in particular, the role of “extreme” events in longer-term holiday memories. To better understand the character of ex post weather experiences and their importance in destination image perceptions and future travel planning behavior, this e...

An integrated approach to retrieve microwave emissivity difference vegetation index (EDVI) over land regions has been developed from combined multi-platform/multi-sensor satellite measurements, including SSM/I measurements. A possible relationship of the remotely sensed EDVI and the leaf physiology of canopy is explored at the Harvard Forest site for two growing seasons. This study finds that t...

Abstract We report on the discovery in Gaia DR3 astrometric and spectroscopic catalog of a new polar stream that is found as an overdensity action space. This structure unique it has extremely large apocenter distance, reaching beyond 100 kpc, yet detected coherent moving solar neighborhood with width ∼4 kpc. A subsample these stars was fortuitously observed by LAMOST mean metallicity <?CDATA $...

The young Edmund Husserl stressed that the success of his philosophy hinged upon ability to determine subject and predicate impersonal propositions their expressions, such as ‘It is raining’. This essay accordingly investigates tenability Husserl’s early thought, by executing first study analysis from late 1890s. examination reshapes our understanding inception phenomenology in two ways.

Water droplets on rugged hydrophobic surfaces typically exhibit one of the following two states: (i) the Wenzel state [Wenzel RN (1936) Ind Eng Chem 28:988-994] in which water droplets are in full contact with the rugged surface (referred as the wetted contact) or (ii) the Cassie state [Cassie, ABD, Baxter S (1944) Trans Faraday Soc 40:546-551] in which water droplets are in contact with peaks ...

Situation theorists such as Jon Barwise, John Etchemendy, and (at one time) John Perry have advanced the hypothesis that linguistic and mental representations are ‘situated’ in the sense that they are true or false only relative to partial situations. François Recanati has done an important task in reviving and in many respects deepening situation theory. In this chapter, I would like to explor...

The purpose of the study is to develop a procedure for determining parameters layout active sprinkler equipment in closed irrigation systems. This paper presents importance transforming agricultural production into highly developed sector economy which impossible without reducing its dependence on adverse climatic conditions. introduction modern computer-integrated technologies, including preci...

Keropok is a traditional cracker product in Southeast Asia. Keropok is made from fish, squid or shrimp mixed with starch or sago flour and eggs. In Malaysia, keropok industry is widely operated at the coastal areas where the fish/seafood supply can be easily accessed. Keropok need to be dried before the packaging process. At the moment, conventional method was used where the keropok is arranged...

Presuppositions are very important in our understanding of how background and context determine the interpretation of a sentence. However, if we study some of the things that have been claimed to be presuppositions, we find that it is a very miscellaneous collection of things. Here are some examples: (1) Harry saw the man kiss her presupposes that Harry and the man denote uniquely existing, for...
