An Evaluation of the Potential of the Geoelectrical Resistivity Method for Mapping Gas Migration in Landfills

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and growing concern regarding global climate changes over the last years has pointed out the need to quantify and control the leaking of methane into the atmosphere. Landfill gas is regarded as one of the major sources for methane migration to the atmosphere. In this study we present research work with the objective to evaluate the use of geoelectrical resistiv

Touchdowns in winespeak: ontologies and construals in use and meaning-making

The aim is to analyze wine descriptions in a lexical semantic framework that is capable of accounting for generalizations and explanations of use and meaning-making in general as well as in text genres such as wine tasting notes. The model is Lexical meaning as ontologies and construals (Paradis 2005), LOC for short, within the broader framework of Cognitive Semantics. Two touchdowns are made. The
