Soil and Water Conservation Nexus Agricultural Productivity in Ethiopia by Wudu Abiye

“…The undulating lands were moderately suitable for rain fed agriculture. The plant canopies, litter, and mulching intercept rain by decreasing the amount, intensity, and spatial distribution of the precipitation reaching the soil surface, protecting the soil surface from the direct impact of raindrops that can cause splash and sheet erosion. …”

Study of the degradation of 18th century alabaster sculptures through accelerated aging on test samples by Marta Oliveira

“…Two alabaster sculptures dating from the late 18th century show an unknown superficial degradation characterised by striated erosion, whose cause seemed to be water condensation or, alternatively, rain water. To test these two hypotheses, accelerated aging tests were performed on alabaster samples, and the morphology of the degradation layer and its composition were characterised. …”

Effets de sens dérivés de la qualification adjectivale by Christopher Desurmont

“…The aim here is to show that a full interpretation of adjectival qualification needs to take into account semantic components over and above the “surface meaning” (or denotation): the positional properties of the attributive adjective; representation in terms of sets and subsets; interpretation of the qualifying adjective (here: the adjective nice) filtered through a positional property and the relevant components of its environment; interpretation of participle adjectives (slanting rain, enclosed garden) in terms of argument structure and semantic roles.…”
