Recent cross-linguistic studies on spatial language reveal a great diversity in the way languages encode spatial information. Yet, given that there are not many spatial studies that have systematically targeted languages with a Philippine-type voice system, it is not clear how spatial expression is structured in such languages. The aim of this study is to address this knowledge gap through an in-d
The effect of freestream turbulence on the flow past a circular cylinder (tube) was studied experimentally for Reynolds numbers between 2 x 104 and 6 x 104. Investigations were carried out for uniform (non-turbulent) flow and for turbulent flows having turbulence intensities between 1.3 and 4.1%. The variations in the pressure forces and shedding frequencies were found to be related to the variati
This paper concerns an experimental investigation of the flow around and pressure forces on fixed (non-vibrating) rectangular cylinders at angles of attack 0° - 90°. Pressure forces and moments for cylinders with side ratios B / A = 1, 1.62, 2.5 and 3 (shortest side A = 20 ram) were estimated from measurements of static pressure distributions at mid-span. Wake frequencies and associated Strouhal n
Cross-correlation structures based on daily rainfall data recorded during a period of 5 years at 67 stations throughout Tunisia are used to examine spatial rainfall variability. Basic properties of the correlation-distance function such as cumulating period, exclusion versus inclusion of dry periods, and data volume are analysed. Analysis of the correlation patterns for each month shows that two p
In this article we define a new concept that has not previously been theorized: non-Muslim Islam. We argue that theories and methodologies within Islamic studies produce a hierarchy between Muslim and non-Muslim productions of Islam, prioritizing the first. However, this article highlights that Islam may be produced for other purposes than belief in a deity; Islam may for example be important in p
We give an overview of the phonological properties and processes that define the categories of the prosodic hierarchy in Swedish: the prosodic word (ω), the prosodic phrase (φ) and the intonation phrase (ι). The separation of two types of tonal prominence, big accents versus small accents (previously called focal and word accent, e.g. Bruce 1977, 2007), is crucial for our analysis. The ω in Swedis
International isolation is the primary concern of Taiwan's foreign politics. The proximity with mainland China urged Taiwan to rely on several different strategies to maintain the coveted geopolitical survival from Beijing's sovereignty claims. Among the various strategies adopted over the years, Taipei has recently used hydro-diplomacy to expand its presence in Southeast Asia. President Tsai Ing-
This chapter provides an examination of the interactive nature of public accountability that has emerged as a result of technology implementation. The ongoing discussion in the field of digital governance lays the foundation for outlining the complex accountability relationships that exist among multiple actors in a digital environment. Building upon the stakeholder research tradition, the chapter
This paper discusses the prospect of a sociology of science informed by the critical realist philosophy of science. The discussion departs from the need for a theoretical framework to account for theoretical struggle and reproduction in the field of econom-ics. The recent talk about an ontological turn in science studies and the wider back-ground for such a turn is then related to the earlier turn
