Through the study of the French subordinating conjunction avant que (English before) and its interaction with discourse context, I will attempt to show that clause subordination can affect temporal structure and also discourse structure, by conveying either subordination or coordination between discour...

A non-intrusive method to measure the particle velocities in dilute-phase pneumatic conveying is described. The method is based on correlating signals, which are measured in two flow cross-sections. The cross-correlation function generated provides information about the time it takes for a particle to travel between the measurement planes. Knowing the inter-plane distance and the time delay, th...
