From a dictionary to an atlas: segmental mapping of the linguistic picture of the world by S. N. Gagarin

“…These, in turn, can be used for creating maps, or rather atlases, initially of the smaller segments of linguistic pictures of the world, which may over time, and with enough methodological evolution, transform into larger-scale projects covering different languages, which arguably contains a hitherto unexplored potential for comparing them at a new systemic level, that of the structure and internal semantic delimitation of linguistic pictures of the world.…”

Wetland elevation change following beneficial use of dredged material nourishment by Brian D. Harris, Aleksandra Ostojic, Lenore P. Tedesco, Keith VanDerSys, Susan Bailey, Justin L. Shawler, Navid H. Jafari, Monica Chasten

“…The comparison of elevation immediately after nourishment and two years post- nourishment found that approximately one-third of elevation loss was the result of consolidation of deposited dredged material and the underlying wetland foundation.DiscussionIt was found that a reliance on solely laboratory data can induce a large degree of uncertainty within projected surface elevations. Thus, the implementation of in-situ geotechnical methods is strongly advised when possible. …”
