It is often assumed that some notion of morphological richness plays a central role in the theory of pro-drop: In languages with sufficiently rich verbal φ-feature (person, number, gender) agreement morphology, pronominal arguments can (and, in some contexts, must) remain without phonological realization; in languages without such a rich verbal agreement morphology, pronominal arguments must be...

We compute the drag force exerted on a quark and a di-quark systems in a background dual to large-N QCD at finite temperature. We find that appears a drag force in the former setup with flow of energy proportional to the mass of the quark while in the latter there is no dragging as in other studies. We also review the screening length.

The creeping motion through a circular tube of neutrally buoyant Newtonian drops which have an undeformed radius comparable to that of the tube was studied experimentally. Both a Newtonian and a viscoelastic suspending fluid were used in order to determine the influence ofviscoelasticity. The extra pressure drop owing to the presence of the suspended drops, the shape and velocity of the drops, ...

We report on new instabilities of the quasistatic equilibrium of water drops pinned by a hydrophobic inclined substrate. The contact line of a statically pinned drop exhibits three transitions of partial depinning: depinning of the advancing and receding parts of the contact line and depinning of the entire contact line leading to the drop's translational motion. We find a region of parameters ...

The induced drag penalty associated with off-design flight conditions is investigated. The investigation is limited to off-design flight conditions at a lower lift coefficient than the design lift coefficient. Two types of total angle of incidence distribution obtained at the design condition are studied. One is the distribution for elliptic spanloads and the other is the spanload distribution ...

In this note we reply to the criticisms by Sindoni, Paris and Ialongo concerning some aspects of the recent frame-dragging test performed by Iorio with the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft in the gravitational field of Mars.

Issues related to 3d turtle’s navigation and geometrical figures’ manipulation in the simulated 3d space of a newly developed computational environment, MaLT, are reported and discussed here. The joint use of meaningful formalism and the dynamic manipulation of graphically represented 3d figures seem to offer new resources and to pose new challenges as far as geometrical activities and construc...

We derive easy-to-handle approximations for the polar gap electric field due to inertial frame dragging as derived by Harding & Muslimov (1998). A formula valid for polar gap height comparable to the polar cap radius is presented.

Medium-sized touch displays, sized 30 to 50 inches, are becoming more affordable and more widely available. Prolonged use of such displays can result in arm fatigue or skin irritation, especially when multiple long distance drags are involved. To address this issue, we present TapDrag, an alternative dragging technique that complements traditional dragging with a simple tapping gesture on both ...
