Learning about the Structure of Scales: Adverbial Modification and the Acquisition of the Semantics of Gradable Adjectives
, 2007
"... This work investigates children’s early semantic representations of gradable adjectives (GAs) and proposes that infants perform a probabilistic analysis of the input to learn about abstract differences within this category. I first demonstrate that children as young as age three distinguish between ..."

corpus analysis, I demonstrate that statistically significant patterns of adverbial modification are available to the language learner: restricted adverbs (e.g., completely) are more likely than non-restricted adverbs (e.g., very) to select for maximal GAs with bounded scales. Non-maximal GAs, which

Considerations for Responsible Gas Development of the Frederick Brook Shale in
, 2011
"... Abstract Shale formations contain ancient plant and animal tissues that have been broken down into oil and gas over millennia during progressive burial through the rock cycle. The presence of natural gas in shale formations (shale gas) has been known for centuries, but commercial production of shal ..."

Lessons learned in US shale play development can be adopted, adapted, and applied here to develop this non-renewable resource. Regulatory improvements in New Brunswick
The gas kinematics in Mrk 533 nucleus and circumnuclear region: a gaseous outflow
, 2008
"... We present an analysis of 3D spectra of Mrk 533, observed with the integral-field spectrograph MPFS and using the Fabry Perot Interferometer (FPI) of the SAO RAS 6-m telescope. We found emissions of gas from the active Sy 2 nucleus in the centre and also from the HII regions in a spiral structure an ..."

and a circumnuclear region. The gas kinematics shows regular non-circular motions in the wide range of galactocentric distances from 500 pc up to 15 kpc. The maps of inward and outward radial motions of the ionized gas was constructed. We found that the narrow line region (NLR) is composed of at least

An Efficient Multiperiod MINLP Model for Optimal Planning of Offshore Oil and Gas Field Infrastructure
"... In this paper, we present an efficient strategic/tactical planning model for offshore oilfield development problem that is fairly generic and can be extended to include other complexities. The proposed multiperiod non-convex MINLP model for multi-field site includes three components (oil, water and ..."

With the objective of maximizing total NPV for long-term planning horizon, the model involves decisions related to FPSO (floating production, storage and offloading) installation
OPTIMAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING OF OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS FIELD INFRASTRUCTURE UNDER COMPLEX FISCAL
"... The optimal development planning of offshore oil and gas fields has received significant attention in the recent years. In this paper, we present an efficient investment and operational planning model for this problem which is fairly generic and it is extended to include fiscal considerations. With ..."

With the objective of maximizing total NPV for long-term planning horizon, the proposed non-convex multiperiod MINLP model involves decisions regarding facility installation and expansion, fieldfacility connections, well drilling schedule and production profiles of oil, water and gas in each time period. The model
Part Load Behavior Optimization of Hybrid Coal and Gas Fired Combined Cycles Including Deactivation of Components

Investigating the minimized fuel costs as the objective function the optimized operation strategy is found to be an unique function of the fuel price ratio
ICNMM2007-xxxxx HEAT TRANSFER ENHANCEMENT IN EVAPORATING MINI-LAYERS: EFFECTS OF AN INERT GAS FLOW

Being evaporation stronger at the inlet boundary of the layer, because of the maximal efficiency of the inert gas flow in removing vap ..."

The soft X-ray background: evidence for widespread disruption of the gas haloes of galaxy groups
- MNRAS
, 2001
"... Almost all of the extragalactic X-ray background (XRB) at 0.25 keV can be accounted for by radio-quiet quasars, allowing us to derive an upper limit of 4 keV cm −2 s −1 sr −1 keV −1 for the remaining background at 0.25 keV. However, the XRB from the gas halos of groups of galaxies, with gas removal ..."
