Neg-raising : polarity and presupposition
In this thesis, I advance a semantic theory of Neg-Raising rooted in the work of Bartsch (1973) and Heim (2000) and defend it against syntactic and pragmatic alternatives. The primary source of support for my position on Neg-Raising comes from the natural way in which the approach explains a …

Pick-Up lines: To Use a Neg or a Flippant?
<p>Pick-up lines are a "ritual that tries to turn strangers into lovers" (Murray, 1985, p.17). By studying how pick-up lines are perceived by the population, we might learn how the phenomenon of short- or long-term mating is initiated. By taking into account mating strategies, mate value, …

Modality and Time in Logical Context
This thesis argues for a theory of neg-raising that is unified with existing theories of free choice (Fox, 2007; Bar-Lev, 2018) and negative polarity items (Crnič, 2014b, 2019b), as motivated by a case study of polarity-sensitive 'until'. I argue that this unification of neg-raising and …

Nitrogen balance and nutrient requirements of young Nellore bulls fed with static or oscillating crude protein levels, and feeding behavior, water intake and requirements of bulls with different residual feed intakes
… The equation obtained for net energy for gain (NEg) was: NEg (Mcal/EBW0.75/d) = 0.0535 × EBW0.75 × EBG0.7131, where EBG is the empty body gain, and the efficiency was 24.25%. Net protein for gain (NPg) was: NPg (g/d) = 227.372 × EBG – 19.479 × RE. There was a linear increase for carcass, CP, and …
