The interpretation of modified PPs, like one meter behind the desk, far outside the village, or right under the lamp has never received much attention in the literature about prepositions. However, as this paper shows, the modification of PPs presents an intriguing problem for a compositional semantics of PPs. This problem can be solved when the PP is interpreted, not as a set of points or mere...

Findings from recent eye-tracking studies suggest that adults prefer to rely more on recently seen events than possible future events during sentence comprehension: When the verb in an NP1-VERB-ADV-NP2 sentence was referentially ambiguous between a recent action and an equally possible future action, adults fixated the target of the recent action more often than the not-yet-acted upon object (K...

The paper concerns three tests for multivariate normality based on the Shapiro-Wilk W statistic for the principal components of a covariance matrix. Two of them were proposed by Srivastava and Hui (1987), the third was introduced by Hanusz and Tarasińska (2008b). The type I errors of these tests at significance levels 0.1, 0.05 and 0.01 are evaluated both for the sample and residuals in the two...

The inhibitory allelopathic activities of leaves and leaf-origin suspension cultured cells Spiraea thunbergii, putative allelochemicals, cis- trans-cinnamic acid, were investigated by the protoplast co-culture method with digital image analysis (DIA-PP method) using lettuce as a recipient. optimal conditions 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) benzyladenine (BA) for cell division S. thunberg...

a fourth-generation ziegler-natta catalyst was prepared to synthesize polypropylene (pp), which was stabilized by in situ polymerization employing lignin as antioxidant. the antioxidant properties of lignin were compared with those of the commercial antioxidant irganox 1010. the presence of lignin in the reaction medium slightly decreased the catalytic activity of the reaction. the isotacticity...
