The contributions of this volume offer fresh insights into different aspects of grammatical structures. Language contact is the primary focus of several contributions, addressing various aspects of this topic, including lexical borrowings, creole languages, and other contact effects. Ranging from typological perspectives on grammatical structures to individual case studies, the volume sheds light on the complex processes underlying linguistic diversity worldwide.
This volume collects selected papers presented and discussed during the 9th National Conference organized by the Italian Association of Materials Engineering, AIMAT from 2008 at Piano di Sorrento (Napoli, Italy). It gives a valuable representation of highlights of the research and development activities running in 21 Italian universities and resear
Catalyst lifetime represents one of the most crucial economic aspects in industrial catalytic processes, due to costly shutdowns, catalyst replacements, and proper disposal of spent materials. Not surprisingly, there is considerable motivation to understand and treat catalyst deactivation, poisoning, and regeneration, which causes this research topic to continue to grow. The complexity of catalyst poisoning obviously increases along with the increasing use of biomass/waste-derived/residual feedstocks and with requirements for cleaner and novel sustainable processes. This book collects 15 research papers providing insights into several scientific and technical aspects of catalyst poisoning and deactivation, proposing more tolerant catalyst formulations, and exploring possible regeneration strategies.

Corpus Dialectology combines the fields of corpus linguistics and dialectological mapping. It concerns documentation of linguistic variation and mapping of linguistic spaces and boundaries, while ascribing renewed importance to the methodology and the material itself, especially data processing and statistical analysis. This approach considers phenomena that have received little attention to date, such as migration, language contact, mobility and educational level, as well as the differentiation between rural and urban spaces. Transparently described and intersubjectively comprehensible encodings permit the enhancement of dialectometry in the context of Digital Humanities and further development of linguistic theories of variation and change, as well as different levels of structure (phonology, morphosyntax, semantics). This book contains nine chapters on ongoing corpus dialectological research projects. They discuss current issues of data collection, for example the validity of crowdsourced data, explore challenges and possibilities of data analysis and offer theoretical reflections on virtual Romance geolinguistics.
Il testo, in seconda edizione riveduta e ampliata, riassume lo stato dell'arte delle conoscenze sui geopolimeri, leganti idraulici e materiali ceramici di tipo alluminosilicatico a bassissimo contenuto di calcio. L'attivazione alcalina porta alla parziale dissoluzione di materie prime, sia naturali che scarti industriali, che danno origine a paste lavorabili e consolidabili a freddo. La buona stabilità termica e lebuone proprietà meccaniche, portano i geopolimeri a essere materiali interessanti per diverse applicazioni: matrici per refrattari ed antifiamma, materiali da costruzione e restauro, matrici per l'inertizzazione di rifiuti tossici e radioattivi ecc. Il basso impatto ambientale dovuto alle materie prime e al processo a freddo necessario per il loro ottenimento li rendono ecosostenibili. Il testo si rivolge sia ai tecnologi industriali dei materiali, sia ai ricercatori che lavorano nelle università e nei centri di ricerca, proponendo una aggiornata numerosità di applicazioni.
