Vibration performance of a lightweight FRP footbridge under human dynamic excitation
No full textFibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly used as main load bearing materials in design of pedestrian bridges. The FRP footbridges are typically characterised by high strength, and relatively low mass and stiffness. These properties could lead to excessive vibration response under human-induced dynamic loading. This paper studies dynamic performance of a 19.8 m long, simply supported, FRP footbridge exposed to walking and jogging. Moreover, the vibration response of this bridge is compared and critically evaluated against the response of an equivalent, in terms of natural frequency and span length, composite steel-concrete structure. The main factors that drive the vibration performance of the FRP structure are discussed and some recommendations for vibration serviceability checks are made
L’écriture translingue des femmes. Espace de médiation interculturelle dans le contexte multilingue francophone
No full textLes écritures translingues, par leur nature, mettent en valeur une expérience de l’entre-deux, de l’exil et de l’étrangeté typique de toute personne ayant comme langue maternelle une langue minoritaire. C’est le cas aussi « des territoires, comme les anciennes colonies, les zones frontalières [...], d’où il n’est pas nécessaire de s’éloigner pour vivre entre deux langues et pour se sentir en exil dans la sienne » (Montini, 2015 : 223). Nous allons présenter ici le cas de deux écrivaines innues, Naomi Fontaine et Natasha Kanapé Fontaine qui, vivant entre les langues, parviennent à créer par leur écriture translingue, narrative, poétique et théâtrale, de potentiels espaces de médiation interculturelle où peuvent se dessiner des parcours de réparation à la recherche d’une rencontre authentiquement renouvelée à l’intérieur de la société dans laquelle elles vivent
Licenser under cover: The Genitive of Negation in Slovenian
No full textIn some languages there exist syntactic environments in which noun phrases of negated sentences do not take nominative or accusative case as their counterparts from the parallel affirmative sentences do. Instead, they are inflected for the genitive, usually called the genitive of negation. The article (i) reconsiders the list of these environments; (ii) describes an observation whereby the genitive of negation on the subject cancels the subject-verb agreement, triggering the default morphosyntactic form of the (auxiliary) verb; (iii) compares the distribution of the genitive of negation to the distribution of the negative-numeral nič “nothing”; and (iv) argues for the hypothesis that the genitive of negation is licensed by the covert version of the n-numeral nič “nothing”

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
