(2005)Economic use of time (efficiency) and democracy are common features in many modern western societies. However, a strong egalitarian democracy requires equal participation in the social construction of meaning, reason and ... -
Nocturnal Ascent and Low-Level Jet in a Baroclinic Zone
(2022-05)A remarkable feature of the regional climatology of the central United States and the Great Plains is the existence of a nocturnal maximum in convective rainfall during the warm season. This study follows up the work of ... -
Nocturnal Boundary Layer and Low-level Jet Characteristics under Different Turbulent Regimes
(2015-05-08)The intensity, extent, and continuity of turbulence in the nocturnal stable boundary layer (SBL) is governed by many interacting processes and features. Generally, SBLs can be grouped into two broad categories: weakly ... -
Noise and Fragile Symphonies: Animality and the South African Sonic Genre in The Whale Caller, Disgrace, and Nineveh
(2019-05-11)When establishing an interspecies ethics, it is often the gaze that is used to establish the agency of the animal Other in the absence of logocentric speech. However, when considering the physical realities of the nonhuman ... -

Nominal structure in a language without articles: The case of Estonian
(2018-03-23)It is standardly assumed that nominals in the languages of the world are syntactically complex in the typical case, being made up of not just NP, but one or more functional projections, e.g., DP (Abney 1987). Recently, ... -
Non-autonomous accusative case in Estonian
(2018)In Estonian, some objects of verbs show an alternation in case-marking that seems to be conditioned by morphological number: genitive when singular, nominative when plural. According to traditional descriptions (Erelt et ... -

NON-CONTACT SENSOR FOR THE REAL-TIME MEASUREMENT OF STIFFNESS OF ASPHALT PAVEMENTS DURING COMPACTION
(2011)The development of a non-contact sensor capable of determining the quality of asphalt pavements during their construction is addressed in this dissertation. Adequate compaction of asphalt pavement during its construction ... -
Non-destructive examination of ceramic matrix composites for quantitative determination of porosity via pulse-echo thermographic inspection
(2021-12)Ceramic Matrix Composites are seeing a widespread increase in use, especially in the aerospace industry. These materials are being utilized for their excellent material properties at high temperatures. As these materials ... -
Non-Destructive Index Testing For Relative Assessment Of Rock Strength
(2016)Index tests for the determination of rock properties have been employed since the early 90s, based on methods developed since the 1900s in the metallurgical industry. Examples include the Brinell hardness test, Rockwell ... -
