Abundant shallow saline lakes on the Archean Yilgarn Craton in southern Western Australia exhibit a rare spectrum of geochemical conditions. Here the field geochemistry over three seasons (pH, salinity, and temperature), as well as major ions, trace elements, and H, O, and S stable isotopes of surface waters and shallow groundwaters from 59 ephemeral lakes in southern Western Australia (WA) are...

Some features of the morphology of Swahili are discussed from the point of view of mechanizing a dictionary. A preliminary program is described. To the best of my knowledge, no work has previously been carried out on the mechanical translation of any Bantu language. This note is therefore a first suggestion of a possible basis for a scheme for the mechanical translation of Swahili into English....

dft calculations were used to investigate adsorptionof  f-, cl-, li+ and na+ ions on the exterior surface of mg12o12 nanocage in the gas phase and water media. the most favorite position for adsorption of the studied anions and cations are atop of mg and o atoms of mg12o12, respectively. the strongest interaction is obtained when fluoride is located atop of mg atom with the adsorption energy of...

Following the structure meaning approach (c.f. [3,4]), I argued in [5] that the prosodic peak of Contrastive-marking creates a partition of the asserted proposition into B (background) and F (Focus). The morphological wa-marking then introduces the Con operator that takes the structured meaning as its argument and yields a conventional implicature. The Contrastive-marked sentence presupposes th...

Utafiti huu ulidhamiria kutathmini athari za kamusi ya Sheng’ – English Dictionary kwa Kiswahili sanifu. Kamusi (2003) iliteuliwa kama msingi wa uchunguzi sababu ndio kwanza kuwahi kuchapishwa. Licha hii kuchapishwa katika lugha Kiingereza ina leksimu ambazo yafaa kuchunguzwa namna zinavyoathiri Lengo la utafiti lilikuwa kueleza muundo kifonolojia maneno na jinsi yanavyotofautiana Nadharia ilik...

the iranian poultry sector has experienced many significant structural changes in recent years. such changes may have influenced price dynamics and transmission of shocks through marketing channels especially on retail markets. this paper investigate price transmission, threshold behavior and asymmetric adjustment in poultry sector of ardebil (ar), east azerbaijan (ea) and west azerbaijan (wa) ...

In this study, the recycled concrete aggregates and powder (RCA RCP) prepared from basaltic waste were used to replace natural aggregate (NA) cement, respectively. The NA (coarse fine) was replaced by with five percentages (0%, 20%, 40%, 60% 80%). Consequently, cement RCP four 5%, 10% 20%). Cubes 100 mm edge length for all tests. compressive tensile strengths (fcu ftu) water absorption (WA) inv...
