Japanese gapping in minimalist syntax
… investigates an elliptical construction called Gapping in Japanese. Gapping is the omission of a predicate in clauses that are conjoined. The study focuses on capturing the correlation between Gapping and coordinate structures conjoined with the conjunction sosite 'and', which is not accounted …

Native and Non-native Grammars of Chinese Gapping-like Verb Ellipsis
… verb-less constructions in question are Chinese gapping-like constructions which bear a surface resemblance to English canonical gapping constructions. Despite the surface similarities shared by Chinese gapping-like constructions and English canonical gapping, the two verb-less constructions …

Auditory and Visual Correlates of the Processing of Gapping Structures in Adults
… reading elicited by sentences containing gapping structures, or a "missing" verb. N400 and P600 waveforms were collected in 20 adults between 18 and 30 years of age. Two experiments were conducted with each participant. In the two experiments ERP recordings were collected as sentences, …

Event Related Potentials: A Study of the Processing of Gapping Structures in Adolescents
… sentences containing correct and incorrect gapping structures, each with a "missing" verb, were presented along with other grammatical and ungrammatical sentences in order to elicit and measure the P300, N400, and P600 amplitudes and latencies. The aim was to determine some of the …

Effects of controlled vibration induced gapping on the torque performance of lubricated ball bearings
… not sufficiently preloaded may be subjected to gapping and transient high contact stresses during launch. Despite the fact that such phenomena may cause bearing damage or degrade torque performance and lubricant life, the dynamic behaviour of bearings subjected to typical launch vibration has …

Numerical Modelling of Ball Bearing Stiffness to Predict Contact Stress Caused by Vibration Induced Gapping
… to vibrations. The result of these vibrations is gapping between the rings of the bearing. This gap allows collisions of the ball with the races, which produce high contact stresses. These high stresses can cause indentation damage on the ball and the raceways, and may lead to malfunction of the …

Coordination and sharing at the interfaces
… argued to exist using scope and binding facts in Gapping contexts. The role that sharing structures play in a wide variety of syntactic phenomena is then investigated. A new theory of Gapping is proposed, in which sharing structures (or Small-Conjunct structures, as they are traditionally referred …

Coordinación y elipsis en inglés antiguo: un estudio diacrónico de corpus de la interacción modular en el lenguaje
… centrado en las construcciones conocidas como Gapping y Split Coordination, ilustradas en (1) y (2) respectivamente: (1) John has written the words, and Paul the music. (2) John came, and Bill (too). Se trata de un estudio de corpus, basado en nueve obras en prosa copiadas o escritas …

A New Singular S-FEM For The Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics
… technique on a set of non-overlapping and no-gapping linear elements. Using the S-FEM, one only needs to calculate the displacement (and not the derivatives) over the boundaries of smoothing domains to compute the stiffness matrix of the system. Adopting this important feature, two new element …

Reliability and validity of selected pain provocation tests at the sacroiliac joint
… inter examiner agreement using compression and gapping tests. A good level of inter examiner agreement occurred using the high thrust and Faber test (k=0.674 0.611 respectively). This minor thesis was written by a post-graduate student as part of the requirements of the Master of Health Science …

Focus Sensitive Coordination
… to a range of prohibitions on remnants for gapping. This can be accounted for by a particular lexical entry for the FSOs and a prohibition against movement of the FSOs. Furthermore, a restriction on coordinations containing even adjoined to a noun phrase can be accounted for if we treat the …

Photonics for technology : circuits, chip-scale LIDAR, and optical neural networks
… and explore their origin from simultaneously gapping multiple band degeneracies. Following this, we perform microwave transmission measurements in the bulk and at the edge of ferrimagnetic photonic crystals. Bandgaps with large Chern numbers of 2, 3, and 4 are present in the experimental …

Long-term Cyclic Lateral Response and Optimisation of Shallow Foundations
… contact area evolution, critical for satisfying gapping criteria in design guidelines. Parametric studies highlight the influence of geometry and embedment depth, offering pathways to optimise foundation performance under monotonic loading. This work provides a novel experimental dataset and a …

High Fidelity Simulation of Loss Mechanisms in Compressors
… machines and investiages the impact of gapping on mid-span compressor loss. It is found that freestream turbulence levels rise significantly as the size of the rotor-stator axial gap is reduced. This is because of the effect of axial gap on turbulence production mechanisms, which amplify …

Edge tunneling and transport in non-abelian fractional quantum Hall systems
… exponent as measured in transport. The Majora-gapping transition shows similarities to a transition due to edge reconstruction. A setup is proposed that can probe slow edge velocities that may be present in certain abelian and non-abelian FQH state. At a long tunneling contact the coherent …

Dynamics of Chiral Fermions
… edge. We turn on symmetry preserving six-fermion gapping interactions on one edge of the Chern insulator to gap the doublers whilst preserving an anomaly free $U(1)$ chiral symmetry and leaving the opposing edge gapless. This provides a candidate lattice regularisation of chiral fermions. We …

An introduction to geotechnical design of South African wind turbine gravity foundations
… additional concerns such as the effect of gapping, issues with designing on pedogenic soils such as calcrete, as well as the use of the finite element method in the planning of turbine foundations, were discussed. In concluding the study, a general design process for engineers tasked with …

New perspectives on fractional quantum Hall physics
