On what I will call the standard analysis of supposition, when an agent supposes that φ, she temporarily adds the proposition that φ to the set of propositions she accepts, and goes on to reason in the way that she would if she believed that φ. This kind of analysis is given in a number of places in the literature on the norms governing belief revision. I think that this picture is mostly right...

Two major performance degrading factors in free space optical communication systems are rainfall and atmospheric turbulence. We study the outage probability and bit-error rate for free-space communication links with spatial diversity and Gaussian-Schell electromagnetism beams over the raining turbulence fading channels by double inverse Gaussian distribution proposed in this paper. Assuming int...

This paper offers an analysis of the meaning of although set within the framework of Relevance Theory. In line with Iten (1998b), although is seen as encoding procedural information that constrains the inferential processes involved in the derivation of implicatures. However, the current account differs from Iten (1998b) in several points. First, it suggests that utterances of the form Q althou...

Drying is an easy method to apply and dependent on the type of sample drying in food preservation. Natural uses simple materials equipment. Sunlight as energy resource dry sample. In this research, carrot used samples with thickness variations. After 8 days, largest weight loss value was found 3 a total reduction 16.76 mg then, 2 8.64 5.10 mg. The best conditions for are open directly exposed d...

True to Form: Rising and Falling Declaratives as Questions in English Christine Gunlogson This dissertation is concerned with the meaning and use of two kinds of declarative sentences: (1) It’s raining? (2) It’s raining. The difference between (1) and (2) is intonational: (1) has a final rise (indicated by the question mark), while (2) ends with a fall. The central claim of the thesis is that t...

The Lost Foam Casting (LFC) process employs a sacrificial foam replica of the desired casting that is supported by an unbonded sand mold through an overhead raining and flask vibration stage. Generally, the raining and vibration is programmed to a pattern-specific schedule to adequately promote fluidized sand flow into pattern cavities and produce proper densification. Currently, a lengthy tria...

Transportation is an important part of modern community life as well as one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in urban communities, the population growth of which can increase transportation capacity. Monorail systems are relatively new rail transportation systems which are currently being designed and constructed in different countries. We have applied the Intergovernmental Pa...
