This article presents the experimental and numerical study of the development of flow patterns and pressure profiles inside a rectangular pocket of a hydrostatic journal bearing where its depth is the main varying parameter. Other parameters are the pocket’s aspect ratio, restrictor inlet conditions, and shaft velocity. The flow visualization procedure used a full-flow field tracking method, a ...

It has been known at least since Abelard (12th century) that the classic Square of Opposition suffers from so-called undue existential import (UEI) in that this system of predicate logic collapses when the class denoted by the restrictor predicate is empty. It is usually thought that this mistake was made by Aristotle himself, but it has now become clear that this is not so: Aristotle did not h...

Szabó (2010, 2011) argues that DPs in intensional contexts have specific-opaque readings, which their determiner scopes above some operator while restrictor is nevertheless interpreted the scope of operator. This poses a potential problem to prominent theories intensionality (e.g. Percus 2000, Keshet 2008) wide quantificational (specificity) implies transparency. We attempt restrict by demonstr...

Presupposition projection is one of the most widely discussed topics in modern formal semantics and pragmatics, and a multitude of theories in various formal frameworks have been put forward in the literature (for overviews, see Beaver 2001, Chierchia & McConnell-Ginet 2000, Geurts 1999, Kadmon 2001, Beaver & Geurts 2011). Although these theories significantly differ both in empirical predictio...
