Based on Johnson's (1994) across-the-board (ATB) movement analysis of Gapping, Agbayani and Zoerner (2004) argue that Gapping involves the application of sideward movement of the main verb out of coordinate structures. In this paper, I show that the verb movement analyses of Gapping are problematic. Ultimately, I maintain that Gapping is a discourse-oriented variant of TP ellipsis. More precise...

This work presents a validation of wave parameters from the new sixty years Downscaled Ocean Waves (DOW) reanalysis database. This study compares quantiles of the Gumbel distribution of Hs (significant wave height) and Tp (peak period) from simulated data with an 11 months' time series obtained from a buoy moored seaward on the Santa Catarina coast. Analysis by means of Gumbel distribution quan...

Land use and land cover (LULC) information is an important component influencing watershed modeling with regards to hydrology and water quality in the river basin. In this study, the sensitivity of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to LULC datasets with three points in time and three levels of detail was assessed in a coastal subtropical watershed located in Southeast China. The r...

Effective teaching practice supervision could determine the level of teacher trainees’ performance in the art of teaching. The study investigated the differences in performance of teacher trainees who embarked on continuous Teac...
