This paper addresses systematic variations in the interpretation of indefinites and plurals when appearing within prepositional phrases and other spatial expressions. We show that these variations are explained when spatial processes in semantics locate the sets associated with properties and other setbased denotations of nominals. Starting with spatial indefinites we consider contrasts like th...

To comprehend spoken language, listeners must segment continuous speech into individual words. In cases where /s/ occurs on both sides of a word boundary (e.g., gas station) segmentation might be difficult because the two s-sounds blend together into one long s-sound. We report a series of experiments that examined how listeners segment such sequences, focusing on the contribution of lexical kn...

This paper gives a case of large Sub-Station Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Project to analyze CDM project’s influence on India’s Sustainable Development. SF6 gas is being extensively used in circuit breakers. SF6 gas has the highest Global warming potential which is 23900 times of Carbon Dioxide. Extensive Survey of SubStation using SF6 circuit breaker has been done in a sample state of Ind...

BTX (benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene and p-xylene) and meteorological parameters were measured in ambient air of an urban site located in Carmen City, Campeche, Mexico. A total of 412 samples were collected for BTX and analyzed by Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detection (GC-FID). Meteorological parameters were measured by a portable station. A marked diurnal variation was found for al...

This study focused on the temporal changes of pollutant gas concentrations (NO2 and CO) in air data from different resources, cornerstone living life. As a result analyzes carried out for total seventeen months (January 2020 – May 2021) with consistent data, increase decrease trends two polluting gases atmosphere were revealed. Geographical studies one terrestrial station (Üsküdar Mecidiyeköy) ...

Self-employment is increasing among seniors. The percentage of individuals age 62 and over who were self-employed increased from 4.2 percent in 1988 to 5.4 percent in 2015. In contrast, the percentage of individuals under age 62 who were self-employed decreased from 7.2 percent in 1988 to 6.0 percent in 2015. This report explains the increase in self-employment among individuals age 62 and over...

BACKGROUND Gasoline station workers are exposed to volatile organic compounds such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX). OBJECTIVE To determine the level of exposure to BTEX compounds among gasoline station workers and measure the roadside concentrations of these compounds in the inner and outer areas of Bangkok, Thailand. METHODS 49 workers at 6 gasoline stations in the inne...

One of the most important methods of transporting natural gas in Iran and other parts of the world is the utilization of a network of pipelines. Compression station and turbo compressor units play an important role in gas supply through pipelines. One of the primary concerns in these units is the reduction of fuel consumption. By cooling of exhaust gas from the source station, the pressure drop...

Motor vehicles constitute a significant source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emissions to the atmosphere. Particle-phase priority pollutant PAH concentrations and total suspended particle mass (TSP) were measured in the Lapa bus station and the Americo Simas Tunnel, located in the city of Salvador, Brazil. Separate samples were collected at the bus station at different times of the d...
