Levin and Prince (1982) note that gapped sentences do not give rise to causal implicatures often associated with their nongapped counterparts. For instance, while (a) can have both a symmetric and asymmetric (causal) reading, the gapped version in (b) can only have the symmetric reading. (a) Sue became upset and Nan became downright angry. (b) Sue became upset and Nan ; downright angry. We show...

In three studies (total N = 619), the authors tested an evolutionary hypothesis: Men are more bothered by sexual than emotional infidelity, whereas the reverse is true of women. More diverse samples (in age) and measures than is typical were used. In Study 1, the authors found across gender, sample, and method that sexual infidelity was associated with anger and blame, but emotional infidelity ...

Proton beam therapy is a new form of radiotherapy. Little is known about patients' experiences of proton beam therapy and less about parents' experiences of children receiving treatment. Semi-structured interviews explored 10 parents' experiences of travelling from the United Kingdom to the United States to have their children's brain tumours treated with proton beam therapy. Thematic analysis ...

This study tested the hypothesis that spousal esteem and disparagement are psychological states that track the costs and benefits of marriage to a particular person. Three separate data sources were used. First, 214 married participants reported on their personality, the esteem they held for their spouse, and issues the couple disagreed about. Second, participants provided information on their ...

Several theorists have claimed that men are innately more upset by a mate's sexual infidelity and women are more upset by a mate's emotional infidelity because the sexes faced different adaptive problems (for men, cuckoldry; for women, losing a mate's resources). The present work examined this theory of jealousy as a specific innate module in 196 adult men and women of homosexual and heterosexu...

SEU error rates in the CMS tracker environment have been approximated with Monte Carlo simulations. The estimated upset rates for a submicron technology are 8.3 10-7 upsets/(bit s) at 4.9cm and 1.1 10-8 upsets/(bit s) at 49cm from the beam line, respectively. Comparison of simulation data with experimental proton irradiation benchmarks points to a tenfold underestimate of the actual rate. All t...

This work describes the effect of newly introduced faying surfaces on microstructure and mechanical properties dissimilar weld joints AA6063 AISI304L alloys that are fabricated through rotary friction welding process (RFW). The experiments were done as six different experimental methods (‘A’ to ‘F’) at 1300 rpm rotation, 18 MPa pressure (FP), 24 upset (UP) 5 s time (FT) with hemispherical bowl ...

EURO-GANEX is an innovative hydrometallurgical process for the group separation of transuranic actinides from future spent nuclear fuels. A flowsheet test a upset (or ‘maloperation’) has been carried out involving reduction in concentration scrub acid feed to extract-scrub contactors. The experimental was completed two stages. First, contactors were run under normal conditions before initiating...
