This paper is a cognitive study of the linear order of the English construction “X and Y ”from the perspectives of cognitive salience, cognitive iconicity, and cognition of formal rules. The linear characteristics of “X and Y ” are revealed as follows： 1）salience-downgrading order; 2） chronological iconicity;3） cognition of alphabetic order and prosodic order.展开更多

The sensor is used to monitor the intra-stress distribution and variations in landslide bodies, and can be used for the early warning of the occurrence of the landslides. The principle of distributed fiber optic stress sensing and the intra-stress monitoring method for landslides are described in detail. By measuring the distributed polarization mode coupling in the polarization-maintaining fiber, the distributed fiber stress sensor with stress measuring range 0 to 15 MPa, spatial resolution 10 cm and measuring range 0.5 km, is designed. The warning system is also investigated experimentally in the field trial.展开更多
