In everyday conversation, we frequently express relationships between two entities by using attributive possessive NPs. Structurally, these consist of a possessor referent, a possessum nominal and a possessive marker which explicates said relationship. For example, if I want to enquire about a house owned by your friend Mary which you are currently decorating, I might feasibly say "How are you getting on with Mary’s house?". My utterance of the pre-nominal possessive NP Mary’s house allows you to represent a specific referent, ensuring that we mentally converge on the same house and are able to talk about it. This study investigates English pre-nominal possessive NPs from a pragmatic point of view. It does so with the aim of providing a cognitively plausible description of their interpretationwhich simultaneously serves to understand how they function as referring expressions in communication. In particular, I discuss some of the intricacies they pose to interlocutors when itcomes to their referential interpretation. One of these concerns the fact that pre-nominal possessives are semantically compatible with numerous different interpretations, yet reference aparticular possessive relation in concrete communicative situations. Thus, given that the Englishlanguage, quite in contrast to the majority of the world’s languages, does not render thepossessive relation that holds between two entities morphosyntactically explicit, the interpretation of pre-nominal possessive NPs falls entirely within the remit of a pragmatic theory. This should explain how Mary’s house, which is compatible with interpretations such asthe house that Mary is letting, the house that Mary wishes to buy, as well as various others,comes to denote the house that Mary owns in a communicative situation like the above. Fullyinterpreting this NP, as Peters & Westerståhl (2013) suggest, involves knowing what possibleinterpretations it gives rise to, selecting the most salient one to the detriment of any others, and, finally, representing a determinate referent denoted by the NP as a whole. While the first aspect has received much attention (e.g. Barker, 1995; Vikner & Jensen, 2002), the other two have been considered by only few researchers. This study represents the first holistic account of possessive interpretations which combinesall three questions to explain the various facets of their pragmatics. On the theoretical level, itsuggests that the currently dominant stance (advocated by Vikner & Jensen, 2002), accordingto which it is the lexical semantic content of the possessum nominal which largely exhausts theinterpretation process, is in need of rethinking. Contrary to existing insights, I attribute a greaterrole to context and pragmatic reasoning both at the level of possible and at the level of salientinterpretations. On the methodological level, the study is multimethodological in its approach,complementing theoretical argument by means of a psycholinguistic production study and alarge-scale corpus study. In this respect, the present study paves the way for a description of pragmatic aspects of theEnglish grammar which have hitherto been explained in terms of more descriptive possessivetaxonomies, including ones delineating alienable vs. inalienable (e.g. Nikolaeva & Spencer,2013), prototypical vs. non-prototypical (e.g. Langacker, 1995; Rosenbach, 2002) and lexicalvs. pragmatic interpretations (Vikner & Jensen, 2002). Ultimately, I suggest that construing referential interpretation as an addressee-dependent search for relevance (e.g. Sperber & Wilson, 1986/1995) largely obviates the need for taxonomies of this kind at the descriptive level.

Magister Scientiae - MSc / This study evaluated SO4 2- removal from circumneutral mine water (CMW) collected from Middleburg coal mine using coal FA collected from Hendrina power station. The following parameters were investigated: the effect of the amount of FA, the effect of the final pH achieved during treatment, the effect of the initial pH of the mine water and the effect of Fe and Al on SO4 2- removal from mine water. The precipitation of ettringite at alkaline pH was evaluated to further reduce the SO4 2- concentration to below the DWAF limit for potable water. Removal of SO4 2- from mine water was found to be dependent on: the final pH achieved during treatment, the amount of FA used to treat the mine water and the presence of Fe and Al in the mine water. Treatment of CMW using different CMW:FA ratios; 5:1, 4:1, 3:1, and 2:1 resulted in 55, 60, 70 and 71 % SO4 2- removal respectively. Treatment of CMW to pH 8.98, 9.88, 10.21, 10.96, 11.77 and 12.35 resulted in 6, 19, 37, 45, 63 and 71 % SO4 2- removal respectively. When the CMW was modified by adding Fe and Al by mixing with Navigation coal mine AMD and treated to pH 10, 93 % SO4 2- removal was observed. Further studies were done to evaluate the effects of Fe and Al separately. Treatment of simulated Fe containing AMD (Fe-AMD) to pH 9.54, 10.2, 11.8, and 12.1 resulted in 47, 52, 65, and 68 % SO4 2- removal respectively. When Al containing AMD was treated to pH 9.46, 10.3, 11.5 and 12 percentage SO4 2- removal of 39, 51, 55 and 67 % was observed respectively. / South Africa

>Magister Scientiae - MSc / This study has been conducted to accurately determine fluid saturation within Fula sub-basin reservoirs which is located at the Southern part of the Republic of Sudan. The area is regarded as Shaly Sand Reservoirs. Four deferent shaly sand lithofacies (A, B, C, D) have been identified. Using method based on the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), the core surrounding facies, within Fula reservoirs were identified. An average shale volume of 0.126 within the studied reservoirs was determined using gamma ray and resistivity logs. While average porosity of 26.7% within the reservoirs was determined using density log and the average core grain density. An average water resistivity of 0.8 Ohm-m was estimated using Pickett plot method. While formation temperature was estimated using the gradient that constrained between surface and bottom hole temperature. Water saturation was determined using Archie model and four shaly sand empirical models, the calculation was constrained within each facies zone to specify a model for each facies, and another approach was used to obtain the water saturation based on Artificial Neural Networks. The net pay was identified for each reservoir by applying cut-offs on permeability 5 mD, porosity 16%, shale volume 0.33, and water saturation 0.65. The gross thickness of the reservoirs ranges from 7.62m to 19.85m and net pay intervals from 4.877m to 19.202m. The study succeeded in establishing water saturation model for the Fula sub-basin based on neural networking which was very consistent with the core data, and hence has been used for net pay determination.

Rose-scented geranium (Pelargonium capitatum x P. radens) belongs to the family Geraniaceae and it is a multi-harvest, high value, commercially important essential oil yielding aromatic plant. The essential oil extracted from the herbage of the plant is widely used in the fragrance and cosmetics industry and scenting of soaps. The essential oil is extracted by steam distillation. South Africa is now producing significant quantities of geranium oil. However, previous experience by this research group showed that seedlings often take long to establish, resulting in high death rates and sometimes poor growth after establishment. Stunted growth and yellowing of leaves was also observed in some cases. Poor vegetative growth causes low herbage yield and, consequently, low total essential oil production per hectare. Poor growth is believed to be due to a combination of factors, including nutrient deficiencies and acidic soil conditions and has not been studied under South Africa condition. Production of the crop is also reported to respond differently to rate and source of nutrition in various agro-ecological regions of the world. Therefore, field trials were conducted at the Hatfield Experimental Farm, University of Pretoria, in order to investigate how the plant responds to agronomic practices, such as source and amount of nitrogen, time of N fertilizer application, season of N fertilization and liming. Response of rose-scented geranium to source and amount of N showed that, at the first harvest (summer/autumn), there was no significant effect of conventional N on fresh herbage and oil yield, probably due to leaching of N by rainfall. However, organic N at 100 kg•ha-1 increased fresh herbage and oil yields by 58% and 48% over the control, respectively. In the second harvest (spring/summer), fresh herbage yield increased by 46% (conventional N) and 60% (organic N) at 100 kg•ha-1 compared to the control. Compared to the control, 100 kg•ha-1 conventional and organic N also increased essential oil yields by 94% and 129%, respectively. For both N sources nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and LAI decreased with an increase in N level, and organic N gave highest essential oil production efficiency and LAI. Essential oil content (% fresh mass basis) also varied between the harvests, being greater in the second harvest (September to December 2005; spring/summer) than the first harvest (February to May 2005; summer/autumn). This was due to environmental variations that occurred between the harvesting periods. N level and source were found to have no noticeable effect on essential oil composition. This study revealed that rose-scented geranium produced higher fresh herbage and essential oil yield when organic fertilizer was used as a source of N. Nitrogen management in terms of rate and time of application is important in rose-scented geranium production. Delaying nitrogen topdressing (conventional N in the form of LAN; N 28%) after harvest to between the 7th and 9th week after cut back, was found to have a significant positive effect on biomass and essential oil production. Essential oil content of the plant did not show any response to a delay in nitrogen topdressing. A delay in nitrogen topdressing, in the first re-growth resulted into a lower citronellol to geraniol (C:G) ratio, which favour essential oil quality of the crop. Generally, the characteristics of the essential oil were within the internationally acceptable range for rose-scented geranium essential oil. In addition, production of rose-scented geranium during cooler periods is not advisable due to limited biomass production which might encourage leaching of nitrogen. The net benefits from N application is dependent on the growing period and in the present study spring and summer were more beneficial than winter and autumn. Organic N at 100 kg•ha-1•year-1 increased herbage and essential oil yield of the crop in spring and summer but further increases in organic or conventional N levels had no significant effect. N application either in winter or autumn did not improve production of the crop. Application of more N than what is required for optimum growth of the plant had no positive effect on essential oil production. Application of organic N also resulted in higher N use efficiency than conventional N. The essential oil contents (% fresh mass basis) achieved in the present study generally fell within the range of 0.04 to 0.2%. Citronellol and geraniol concentration (%), were at peak in spring season followed by summer and autumn and lowest in winter. The ratio between these two components (C:G ratio) is also used as an indicator of rose-scented geranium essential oil quality and most desirable (low C:G ratio) essential oil was attained in spring, summer and autumn harvesting seasons and least desirable oil was attained in winter. The relationship between SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter readings (SPAD units) and leaf N content (% dry weight basis) was a quadratic function. SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter readings (SPAD units) matched well with that of leaf N concentration data of rose-scented geranium. Regardless of the factors that affect the readings, this instrument can be used as an indicator of leaf N status of rose-scented geranium. Soil pH above 5.5 and soil base saturation above 55% increased fresh herbage and essential oil yield (per ha), which corresponded in this case with 2 to 6 t•ha-1 of lime application. Oil content (%) was not significantly affected by application of lime. Therefore, optimum growth of rose-scented geranium can be achieved by application of lime when plants are grown on acidic soils, but without any effect on oil content and essential oil composition. It can be concluded that N rate, source and season of production and soil pH should be considered to ensure optimal rose-scented geranium production. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Plant Production and Soil Science / PhD / Unrestricted

Landfills are considered to be one of the major sources of anthropogenic methane (CH4) emissions in the environment. A landfill biocover system optimizes environmental conditions for biotic CH4 consumption that controls the fugitive and residual emissions from landfills. A compost material has more oxidation potential in comparison to any other material due to its high porosity, organic content, free flux for gases and water holding capacity. Thermal, hydraulic, bio – chemical and mechanical (THMCB) properties are important factors that can significantly affect the performance of biocover material with regards to CH4 oxidation potential as well as structural stability. Technical data on the thermal, hydraulic and mechanical (THM) properties of compost based biocover materials are quite limited. Hence, a detailed experimental program has been carried out at the University of Ottawa to study the THM properties and behaviour of compost biocover material by conducting experimental tests on small compost samples as well as by performing column experiments. The test results indicate that lower water content (dry of optimum for compaction curve) shows more free air space (FAS) in comparison to higher water content. The compost has almost the same shear strength for various initial water contents and dry unit weights; however, it settles and swells more at higher water content than lower water content per mechanical test results. The thermal and hydraulic properties of compost are a function of the compaction degree in addition to various other parameters. It is also found that the THM properties of compost are strongly coupled and the degree of saturation greatly affects the FAS.

Starting a few decades ago, the unmanned wheeled vehicle research has drawn lately more attention, especially for off-road environment. As the demand to use electric vehicles increased, the need to conceptualize the use of electrically driven vehicles in autonomous operations became a target. That is because in addition to the fact that they are more environmentally friendly, they are also easier to control. This also gives another reason to enhance further the energy economy of those unmanned electric vehicles. Off-road vehicles research was always challenging, but in the present work the nature of the off-road land is utilized to benefit from in order to enhance the energy consumption of those vehicles. An algorithm for energy consumption optimization for electrically driven unmanned wheeled vehicles is presented. The algorithm idea is based on the fact that in off-road conditions, when the vehicle passes a ditch or a hole, the kinetic energy gained while moving downhill could be utilized to reduce the energy consumption for moving uphill if the dimensions of the ditch/hole were known a distance ahead. Two manipulated variables are evaluated: the wheels DC motors supply voltage and the DC armature current. The developed algorithm is analysed and compared to the PID speed iii controller and to the open-loop control of DC motors. The developed predictive controller achieved encouraging results compared to the PID speed control and also compared to the open-loop control. Also, the use of the DC armature current as a manipulated variable showed more noticeable improvement over using the DC input voltage. Experimental work was carried out to validate the predictive control algorithm. A mobile robot with two DC motor driven wheels was deployed to overcome a ditch-like hindrance. The experimental results verified the simulation results. A parametric study for the predictive control is conducted. The effect of changing the downhill angle and the uphill angle as well as the size of the prediction horizon on the consumed electric energy by the DC motors is addressed. The simulation results showed that, when using the proposed approach, the larger the prediction horizon, the lower the energy consumption is.

Syfte: Bakgrund till den valda studien beror på den begränsade forskningen kring hur färger kan påverka betalningsviljan hos konsumenter. Det finns tidigare forskning som visar på att färger påverkar människan men som också pekat på att vidare forskning borde koppla samman färg och WTP. Syftet med studien är att analysera hur HSL påverkar kundernas känslor av interiörbilder i marknadsföring och hur det i sin tur påverkar kundernas betalningsvilja. Metod: För att genomföra studien genomfördes ett experiment på en högskola i Sverige med 102 slumpvis utvalda respondenter. Respondenterna fick besvara en enkät med tre bilder i varje. Det finns tre olika enkäter med samma bilder, men i två av enkäterna är bilderna manipulerade och i en enkät är det originalbilderna. Data som samlades in analyserades i SPSS där resultat togs fram som vi sedermera tolkar och analyser. Resultat & slutsats: Det vi kan visa på är att HSL har en påverkan på känslor och det främst när det kommer till högre ljusstyrka och mättnad. Vi har hittat skillnader som korroborerar med den tidigare forskningen men även skillnader som går emot den tidigare forskningen. Vi kan även konstatera att manipuleringarna ökar uppfattningen om hur prisvärd bostaden upplevs, och vi kan se tendenser till att betalningsviljan är något högre på de manipulerade bilderna. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Eftersom att vårt resultat inte går att generalisera eller att använda för att falsifiera på grund av ett för litet urval kan vidare forskning replikera studien men med ett större urval. Vidare förslag på vidare forskning: -          Hur påverkar högre ljusstyrka och högre mättnad i samma bild konsumenternas känslor? -          Hur påverkar färgnyans betalningsviljan? Uppsatsens bidrag: Denna studie bidrar till en ökad förståelse kring hur färger kan påverka känslor som i sin tur påverkar betalningsviljan. Vårt bidrag riktar sig även till branschen och hur branschen bör lägga stor vikt på bra bilder vid marknadsföring av bostadsobjekt. / Aim: The background to the chosen study is due to the limited research on colors effect on consumer’s willingness to pay. The research that has been done shows that colors affects humans, but there has also pointed out that further research should combine color and WTP. The purpose of this study is to analyze how HSL affects consumer’s emotions of interior pictures in marketing and how it in turn affects consumer’s willingness to pay. Method: To complete the study, an experiment was conducted at a university in Sweden with 102 randomly selected respondents. The respondents were asked to answer a survey with three pictures in each. There were three different surveys with the same pictures, but in two of the surveys the pictures were manipulated and in one survey there was the original picture. Data collected was analyzed in SPSS where the results were presented as we later interpreted and analyzed. Result & Conclusions: The results show that HSL has an influence on emotions and especially when it comes to higher brightness and saturation. We have found differences that corroborate with the previous research but also differences that go against the previous researches. We also find that the manipulations increased the perception of how affordable the housing was experienced, and we could see trends that the willingness to pay was slightly higher on the manipulated pictures. Suggestions for future research: Our results cannot be generalized or used to falsify due to the small selection, research can replicate the study but with a larger selection. Further suggestion for further research: -          How does higher brightness and higher saturation in the same picture affect the consumers’              emotions? -          How dose hues affect willingness to pay?  Contribution of the thesis: This study contributes to an increased understanding of how colors can affect feelings and how it in turn affects willingness to pay. Our contribution is also aimed to people working in marketing and how they should place great emphasis on good pictures in the marketing of housing properties.

Power transformers are a key element in the transmission and distribution of electrical energy and as such need to be highly reliable and efficient. In power system networks, transformer core saturation can cause system voltage disturbances or transformer damage or accelerate insulation ageing. Low frequency switching transients such as ferroresonance and inrush currents, and increasingly what is now known as geomagnetic induce currents (GIC), are the most common phenomena to cause transformer core saturation. This thesis describes extensive simulation studies carried out on GIC and switching ferroresonant transient phenomena. Two types of transformer model were developed to study core saturation problems; one is the mathematical transformer magnetic circuit model, and the other the ATPDraw transformer model. Using the mathematical transformer magnetic circuit model, the influence of the transformer core structure on the magnetising current has been successfully identified and so have the transformers' responses to GIC events. By using the ATPDraw transformer model, the AC system network behaviours under the influence of the DC bias caused by GIC events have been successfully analysed using various simulation case studies. The effects of the winding connection, the core structure, and the network parameters including system impedances and transformer loading conditions on the magnetising currents of the transformers are summarised. Transient interaction among transformers and other system components during energisation and de-energisation operations are becoming increasingly important. One case study on switching ferroresonant transients was modelled using the available transformer test report data and the design data of the main components of the distribution network. The results were closely matched with field test results, which verified the simulation methodology. The simulation results helped establish the fundamental understanding of GIC and ferroresonance events in the power networks; among all the influential parameters identified, transformer core structure is the most important one. In summary, the five-limb core is easier to saturate than the three-limb transformer under the same GIC events; the smaller the side yoke area of the five-limb core, the easier it will be to saturate. More importantly, under GIC events a transformer core could become saturated irrespective of the loading condition of the transformer.

The study was carried out in a greenhouse in pots at the Faculty of Agronomy, University of Oeste Paulista, UNOESTE during the months of September 2009 to January 2010. The soil was an Ultisol typical dystrophic red-yellow. The experiment was conducted with the use of two base saturation levels, V% 40 (original soil) and 70% V (corrected with lime), as well as the fertilization of five doses of phosphorus, 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg dm-3. We evaluated the phosphorus in the soil by the method of anion exchange resin method and the remainder of the match, but the plant through foliar analysis. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and adjusted linear regression equations for the effect of V%, the doses of phosphorus and the interaction between them. Treatment with lime at a dose of 100 mg dm-3 phosphate gave the highest content of soluble phosphorus in the soil. For parts which are used limestone, all doses of phosphorus was higher than the portion where it was treated with lime. Treatments that had higher phosphorus content remaining doses were 75 and 100 mg dm-3from match for treatments with and without liming. The higher the dose of phosphorus, the higher the content of the element accumulated in the dry matter. For the soils of the region, the use of limestone associated with phosphorus, it was evident that at doses between 50 and 100 mg dm-3 show satisfactory results. Liming resulted in an increase in dry matter production of corn and phosphorus soluble in the soil. The levels of phosphorus increased the levels of soluble phosphorus and phosphorus remaining in the presence and absence of liming. In the absence of liming doses increased the phosphorus content of phosphorus in the plant, while the calcium in the plant were higher with the dose of 75 mg dm-3 of P2O5 in the presence and absence of liming. / O trabalho teve por objetivo determinar a melhor interação entre saturação por bases (V%) e adubação fosfatada na implantação da cultura do milho no Oeste Paulista em solos arenosos. O estudo foi conduzido em Casa-de-Vegetação, em vasos, na Faculdade de Agronomia da Universidade do Oeste Paulista, UNOESTE, durante os meses de setembro de 2009 a janeiro de 2010. O solo utilizado foi um argissolo vermelho-amarelo distrófico típico. O experimento foi realizado com a utilização de duas saturações por bases, V% 40 (solo original) e V% 70 (corrigido com a calagem), como também a adubação de cinco doses de fósforo, sendo 0, 25, 50, 75, e 100 mg dm-3. Foi avaliado o fósforo no solo pelo método da resina trocadora de ânions e pelo método do fósforo remanescente, como também na planta através de análise foliar. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e ajustados as equações de regressão linear para o efeito de V%, das doses de fósforo e da interação entre ambos. O tratamento com calcário, na dose de 100 mg dm-3 de fósforo proporcionou o maior teor de fósforo solúvel no solo. Para as parcelas que foram utilizado calcário, todas as doses de fósforo encontrado foi maior que a parcela onde não recebeu calcário. Os tratamentos que apresentaram maior teor de fósforo remanescente foram com doses de 75 e 100 mg dm-3de fósforo, para os tratamentos com e sem a calagem. Quanto maior a dose de fósforo, maior o teor do elemento acumulado na matéria seca. Para os solos da região, a utilização do calcário associado ao fósforo, ficou evidenciado que nas doses entre 50 e 100 mg dm-3 apresentam resultados satisfatórios. A calagem proporcionou aumento na produção de massa seca do milho e nos teores de fósforo solúvel no solo. As doses de fósforo elevaram os teores de fósforo solúvel e fósforo remanescente na presença e na ausência da calagem. Na ausência da calagem as doses de fósforo elevaram os teores de fósforo na planta, enquanto que os teores de cálcio na planta foram maiores com a dose de 75 mg dm-3 de P2O5 na presença e ausência da calagem.
