The role of metaphor, metonymy, and conceptual blending in understanding advertisements: the case of drug-prevention ads

open access: yes, 2006
Over the last years, there has been a growing interest in the analysis of advertisements from the point of view of pragmatic theory (cf. Brierley, 1995; Myers, 1994; Rein, 1982; Tanaka, 1994).

Comparison of Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Energy Absorbers Under Uniaxial Compressive Loading

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates LCD 3D printed Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) structures as mechanical energy absorbers. By comparing various base designs and layered combinations under uniaxial compression, it identifies that a Diamond‐Gyroid sandwich structure offers superior performance.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY OF A U.S./CANADIAN WHEAT POOL: A GAME THEORY ANALYSIS

open access: yes
The problem of declining wheat prices and excess supply has been the subject of recent economic studies partly because it coincides with the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform (FAIR) Act of 1996, and partly because efforts to decrease supply ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Conceptual Blending Theory and Idioms: Rich Sources of Conceptual Blends

open access: yes
This chapter explores idioms as exceptionally rich sources of conceptual blends within the framework of Conceptual Blending Theory (CBT), originally developed by Fauconnier and Turner. Idioms, often non-compositional and culturally embedded, require the integration of multiple input mental spaces to generate emergent meaning in the blended space that ...

Blending Grounded Theory and Ontology Development Methods

open access: yes, 2009
"The development of domain ontologies and the process of open/axial coding outlined by Strauss & Corbin's (1998) grounded theory methods bear important similarities that point towards opportunities for ""cross-fertilization"" (Star, 1998).

Mechanical Behavior and Fracture Mechanisms of MXene/PVDF Nanocomponsites: In Situ Characterization and Multiscale Analysis

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Multiscale experiments and modeling reveal how Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets reinforce PVDF nanocomposites. An optimal MXene loading (∼1 wt.%) nearly doubles tensile strength through efficient stress transfer, flake alignment, and crack‐deflection mechanisms, transforming ductile polymer behavior into a controlled multi‐stage fracture pathway which aligns ...

Explanation and Optimizing Multi‐Model Blending Algorithm Using Random Variables Theory

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
In this study, we modeled the multi‐model blending process using random variables and explicitly derived the distribution of the blended forecast error under the assumption of normally distributed errors.

Blending in the aticles in Kompas and USA Today newspapers

open access: yes, 2002
Blending as one kind of word-formation processes is applied in the articles in the newspapers, and blending is a very productive source of word in modern English, both in literary and scientific work.
