The English cognate object (CO) construction like laugh a nervous laugh raises intriguing analytic and empirical questions. They include (a) what kind of verb licenses the CO, (b) what is the grammatical status of the CO (including its argumenthood), and (c) what are the semantic/pragmatic contributions of the construction? In answering these questions and to see real usages of the construction...

AIM This study was undertaken to derive the prevalence rate of Fasciolosis in buffaloes by a collection of fecal and liver samples from Anand and Ahmedabad districts' local slaughter houses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fecal and liver samples were collected during ante- and post-mortem examination, respectively, and brought to the department laboratory preserved in 10% formalin for further processi...

In 1998, twin houses were built at the Canadian Centre for Housing Technology in Ottawa to assess the energy performance of new and innovative energy efficient materials and components for houses. The two research houses are identical energy efficient houses typical of tract-built models available on the local housing market. They also feature identical simulated occupancies based on home-autom...

As a mental health worker who has been watching the working out of the Mental Deficiency Acts for some years now, I would allow myself some honest criticism in the hope that it may be constructive. I often wonder, allowing for the still serious lack of institutional accommodation in most areas, whether it is really necessary to make such provision for some of the high grade patients who are at ...

This paper reports on the Motion in Place Platform project, which seeks to use motion capture hardwa...

Canada’s efforts in healthy housing are based mainly in various low energy house programs. Since the early 1980s, Natural Resources Canada has launched two major programs to promote the construction of energy efficient or low energy houses (Mayo and Sinha 1996, Sinha 1996). The first one is the R-2000 program that was established in 1982. The performance target for R2000 houses was based on a 5...

The push for greener, sustainable design is universal. Whether it’s in the cars we drive or where we get our energy for our houses, green design has left the periphery of modern engineering and is now a dominant influence in contemporary engineering, often even the most important factor. In essence, sustainable design is designing to do more with less. The green road, however, is turning out to...
