Overview In this very interesting paper, David Ripley brings together formal work on the semantics of vague predicates with experimental work on speakers’ reactions to statements involving such predicates. Working within a broadly Kaplanian framework—in which predicate expressions have characters, which together with contexts determine contents, which together with circumstances determine exten...

The main sources of methane emission are located in the undermined coal-bearing strata, which is not taken into account by requirements regulatory documents when determining category hazard coal mines. Gas from each source equally dependent on tons mined. relative gas changes during cleaning work and cannot be a criterion for assessing entire mine. volatility index per unit area underworked spa...

microwave assisted fluidized bed drying is a novel drying technique which reduces drying time and yields higher quality products. in this study the effect of this method on color changes of whole and cut hazelnut kernels was investigated. the parameters of color and resulting total color change, chroma, hue angle and browning index were also calculated during drying in three temperatures (40, 5...
