In this paper we propose a new argument in support of the view that focus association involves covert focus movement with pied-piping, as proposed by Drubig (1994) and more recently supported by Krifka (2006) and Wagner (2006), and against the more prominent approach which does not involve movement (Rooth 1985, 1992). The evidence will come from an interaction between the interpretation of pied...

In this paper we propose a syntactic and semantic analysis of complex questions. We consider questions involving pied piping and stranding and we propose elementary trees and semantic representations that allow to account for both constructions in a uniform way.

Many buildings had stopped their service due to damage non-structural members including ceilings, partition walls and piping after large-scale earthquakes. In particular, piping-failure-caused water leakage damaged electronic equipment resulted in a loss of functionality the building. Cyclic bending tests are conducted carbon steel pipes for supply with nominal diameters 25A, 40A, 50A 80A evalu...

In this study, a cooling system for fusion reactor divertor that utilizes swirling flow generated downstream of multi-elbow piping was proposed, and fields the (triple elbow) were investigated using visualization experiment. Additionally, heat transfer experiment conducted under one-sided heating condition to simulate environment. The results revealed flux removed by in elbow exceeded critical ...

The American Petroleum Institute recognizes four auxiliary piping plans for supporting pressurized dual wet mechanical seals. There is limited published information guidance as to which plan will offer the most suitable solution for any particular application. Recent work within the mechanical seal industry has led to an enhanced understanding of operational issues. This paper is intended to fi...

The characteristics of acoustic wave transmitting in a metamaterial-type seawater piping system are studied. The metamaterial pipe, which consists of a uniform pipe with air-water chamber Helmholtz resonators (HRs) mounted periodically along its axial direction, could generate a wide band gap in the low-frequency range, rendering the propagation of low-frequency acoustic waves in the piping sys...

The estimation of leak and break frequencies in piping systems is part of the probabilistic safety assessment of technical plants. In this paper, the statistical method based on the evaluation of the German operational experience for piping systems with different diameters is described because an earlier estimation has been updated and extended introducing new methodical aspects and data.
