This paper revisits the status of long-distance intermediate-scope readings of indefinites (Kratzer 1998, Schwarz 2001, Endriss 2009, among others). An experimental study with native English speakers investigates two questions: whether intermediate-scope readings are distinct from functional readings; and whether there is any difference in the availability of functional readings to a indefinite...

A trial is reported in which RAMC staff working in a dressing station and wearing full NBC Individual Protective Equipment (IPE), attempted to take pulse and blood pressure (BP) readings on casualties similarly clad. These basic parameters however, were obtained from only half the casualties, the time taken to obtain them was prohibitive and the blood pressures were inaccurate. Certain remedies...

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is the least desirable way to ensure workplace safety, and it is difficult to use consistently. Hard hats are different; they have cachet and are often worn even when they are not required. We investigated the history of this personal protective equipment to see if there were any lessons that could be applied to other forms of PPE. We learned that what makes ...

A major problem in road construction is the lack of timely and accurate information about the location and productivity of equipment. As a result, the productivity rate of certain types of construction equipment is low and equipment has to be hired in from third parties. Lack of co-ordination between the equipment department and the site manager is the major cause of these problems. In this pap...

It has been known for some time that non-destructive electric breakdowns precede destructive thermal dielectric breakdown. We have been studying both processes in oxides between 5 nm and 80 nm in thickness. We have shown that the electric breakdowns can trigger dielectric breakdown under certain conditions. This triggering of dielectric breakdown causes TDDB distributions to be nonunique. The T...

In recent years, with the rise of the national economy, continue to enrich and perfect teaching system, school physical education is to get the attention of society and school, and achieved certain results, but in the undeveloped or underdeveloped areas, school physical education and health education present situation is not optimistic, which is the basic material conditions of sports equipment...

Abstract Maintenance policy selection for vessel equipment is a multiple criteria decision making. To ensure security, reliability and efficiency of vessel equipment, a maintenance decision model based on risk, availability and cost was proposed according to the characteristics of vessel equipment maintenance. For modeling, analytic network process (ANP) has been employed. And the maintenance p...

The lack of scientific and technical knowledge in certain complex fields, together with schedule constraints, have lead to adopt in EN standards insufficiently validated tests, relying sometimes on an empirical approach. Thus, even personal protective equipment (PPE) with positive results in tests required by the standards can nevertheless prove to be unsatisfactory when used at work. Several r...

Motivation. Diagnostic systems play an important role in industry since they help to maximise equipment’s up-time and minimise its maintenance and operating costs [16]. In the energy sector companies like Siemens often rely on rule-based diagnostics to analyse power generating equipment by, e.g., testing newly deployed electricity generating gas turbines [11], or checking vibration instrumentat...
