Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract Few have asked what happens to gender when a noun is heteroclitic – when its inflection draws on more than one inflection class. While heteroclisis has moved from being treated as a marginal irregularity to a theoretically revealing phenomenon, its implications for gender assignment remain largely unexplored.

History, EarlyView.Abstract During the 1960s, Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) embraced Chinese overtures for a commercial opening as consistent with its anti‐imperialist posture, thereby foreshadowing the diplomatic opening to China in 1972. Yet this professed ideological pluralism was eclipsed by an underlying allegiance to the United States' anti ...

Numerical investigation of the behavior of approach slabs in transition zone of ballasted track to box culvert in high-speed railway lines [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2016 One of the most important issues in operation of high-speed railway tracks is avoiding to sudden variation of the track stiffness. Culverts and bridges are common areas which this problem is occurred along the railway lines.

Folklore Studies, Fieldwork and the Making of a Domestic Anthropology in Fin‐de‐Siècle Britain
History, EarlyView.Abstract This article follows the ‘communities of knowledge‐making’ that formed around folklore collection at the end of the nineteenth century. Often regarded as eccentric or marginal figures in the history of human science, these collectors in fact engaged in lively and sophisticated discussions about the methodologies needed to study the mental ...

Modelling of Railway Tracks for Wave Propagation along Railway Tracks at High Frequencies
Transactions of the Korean Society for Noise and Vibration Engineering, 2011 It was reported recently that railpads can be included as a continuous elastic support of the rail and the model was justified from experiments. In general, however, railpads are installed discretely on sleepers with a regular span. The effect of the discrete railpad was not clearly examined so far in such a high frequency range.
