Mitigating the Impact of Drought on Inland Water Transport: A System Dynamics Approach

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, droughts have disrupted goods transport on Dutch waterways, causing production losses in the hinterland and reputational damage to inland water transport (IWT). As future droughts are expected to be more extreme, the question is how IWT can stay reliable.

Against PF-repair: preposition stranding under sluicing in Jordanian Arabic

Open Linguistics
This paper examines apparent preposition-stranding under sluicing in Jordanian Arabic. On the surface, JA appears to violate the Preposition-Stranding Generalization (PSG): overt P-stranding is categorically banned, yet P-less sluices are nevertheless ...

Sluicing in Basque: a move-and-delete analysis

Fontes Linguae Vasconum
In this paper I explore sluicing in Basque, the elliptical phenomenon whereby the interrogative clause is elided, but the wh-remnant is pronounced. Specifically, I address the long-debated question of whether sluicing involves a full-fledged syntactic ...

Economic Analysis of Infrastructure Investment and Break‐Even Carbon Prices for Low‐Water, Low‐Emission Farming Techniques in Vietnam

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excessive water use in rice production is a major source of methane emissions, the dominant greenhouse gas from Vietnam's agricultural sector. Improving water‐use efficiency can enhance water security and reduce emissions, but achieving these gains requires substantial changes in farming practices and significant investment in supporting ...

Sluicing and Multiple Wh-fronting. [PDF]

, 2009
This paper explores multiple wh-fronting under Sluicing. Contrary to previous proposals that an interrogative +wh complementizer licenses TP-ellipsis, I propose that +focus feature licenses this ellipsis operation.

Novel cases of sluicing with mismatched antecedents: Theoretical consequences

Glossa
Sluicing is widely regarded to disallow syntactic mismatches at the constructional level, an assumption that has strongly shaped the character of contemporary theories.

STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in

Movement Behaviour of Three Rheophilic Cyprinids in a Culvert‐Fragmented Stream

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2027.
ABSTRACT Many freshwater fish species rely on movement across unobstructed river systems to complete their life cycles. However, anthropogenic activities such as river regulation, dams, and culverts increasingly restrict fish movements by compromising river connectivity and altering habitat characteristics.

Sluicing Puzzles in Russian [PDF]

, 2006
The general goal of this paper is to explore the properties of sluicing (IPellipsis) in Russian and to see how the Russian data shed light on the general processes underlying the phenomenon of sluicing.

A framework for investigating fish population density responses to habitat fragmentation

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 11, November 2026.
Globally, fish populations that rely on rivers are being fragmented by in‐stream barriers, but it is unclear how pervasive any negative population responses to fragmentation are. We developed a modeling framework for estimating density responses of fishes upstream and downstream of in‐stream barriers and applied it to learn how low‐head dams have ...
