The development of the passive construct mirrors the trend of the progress of Chomskyan theory, evolving from the rule motivations to the principle motivations. The giant leap between the phases of the generative grammar has aroused great curiosity among the scholars and learners of syntax. In this paper, the author will explore the tacit strategy underlying the module changes of TG from the perspective of cognitive science.展开更多

The influences of the cohesive force, adhesive force, and the fill surface form were considered in this method. In order to obtain the passive earth pressure and sliding plane angle, a program based on the sliding surface assumption was developed with the VB.NET programming language. The calculated results from this method were basically the same as those from the Rankine theory and Coulumb theory formulas. This method is conceptually clear, and the corresponding formulas given in this paper are simple and convenient for application when the fill surface form is complex.展开更多

We conclude that the passive get in get-passive equals to a lexical verb considering its syntactic representation and the get-passive represent itself as an actional passive of which the subject is responsible for the event denoted by the action.Concerning the interpretation, we consider get-passive as a reflexive ECM(exceptional case-marking)-construction.展开更多

Two experiments nutrients removals. Four units of horizontal subsurface flow CWs were used, two cells planted with Phragmites mauritianus, one cell with Typha domingensis and one cell unplanted (control cell). Artificial high concentrated AMD was used. It was mixed with domestic wastewater from the anaerobic waste stabilization pond (WSP) to ensure nutrient supply to the plants in the CW cells. The second experiment tested the tolerance of locally available macrophytes to the harsh acidic environment, while providing required condition for treatment of AMD. To accomplish this, another set of four CW cells planted with different types of macrophytes, namely Typha domingensis, Phragmites mauritianus, Vetiver grass and Papyrus, were used thereby subjecting them to varying acid concentration ofpH of 3.5, 3.0, 2.9 and 2.7. The study demonstrated adequate zinc removal from AMD which is related to sulphide precipitation. A CW cell planted with Typha domingensis showed higher zinc removal (80%-84%) compared to other cells. Different macrophytes showed different nutrient removal efficiency, but overall, for the type of wetland plants studied, phosphorous removal increased with decreasing pH while nitrogen removal behaved quite opposite. On the other hand, Typha domingensis, Phragmites mauritianus and Papyrus were observed to tolerate high acidity as low pH as 2.7 and therefore are suitable macrophytes for AMD treatment with CW.展开更多
