Prepositions with a range over several conceptual domains are often described as polysemous between these domains. Typically, spatial senses are seen as basic, while temporal and abstract senses are assumed to be derived from space. The present article argues in favour of an alternative analysis in which domain-neutral properties of prepositions are used to account for similarities between instanc

Pallet racks used in industry are often exposed to large loads, and in some casesresistance to failure is reduced by damage or inadequate handling. The present study was undertaken with the aim of investigating a number of different parameters of importance for the load-carrying capacity of pallet racks. Mainly numerical studies, using the finite element method, are performed, but some experimenta
With the recognition that generating economic growth is not the same as sustaining it, the challenge to catch-up and growth literature is discerning between these processes. Recent research suggests that the decline in the frequency of “shrinking” episodes is more important for long-term development than higher growth rates. By using a framework centred around social capabilities, this study aims
