Selectives (“topic markers”) on subordinate clauses by Wälchli Bernhard

“…It is further found that selectives tend to occur at the end of the constituent which they have scope over where there is minimal risk of scope ambiguity. Despite the frequent occurrence of selectives on conditional clauses, selectives tend not to be conditional connectives unless this happens to be their grammaticalization source.…”

Micronutrients Considerations for Warm-Season Grass Systems in Florida by Jane C. Griffin, Joao Mauricio Buen Vendramini, Diane L. Rowland, Maria Lucia Silveira

“…Many popular warm-season grasses, such as bahiagrass and bermudagrass, have roots that penetrate deeper into the soil profile, which aids in both drought tolerance, nutrient uptake, and the minimization of soil erosion. In Florida, spodosols are the predominant soil order used for forage production and have limited fertility. …”

Fractional Metric Dimension of Generalized Sunlet Networks by Muhammad Javaid, Hassan Zafar, Ebenezer Bonyah

“…Thus, the local fractional metric dimension (LFMD) of a connected network N is dimlfN=minΦ:Φ is minimal LRF of N. In this study, LFMD of various types of sunlet-related networks such as sunlet network (Sm), middle sunlet network (MSm), and total sunlet network (TSm) are studied in the form of exact values and sharp bounds under certain conditions. …”
