  • Four Thousand Ships Passed Through the Lock: Object-Induced Measure Functions on Events

    Four Thousand Ships Passed Through the Lock: Object-Induced Measure Functions on Events

    MANFRED KRIFKA FOUR THOUSAND SHIPS PASSED THROUGH THE LOCK: OBJECT-INDUCED MEASURE FUNCTIONS ON EVENTS 1 . INTRODUCTION 1.1. Event-Related and Object-Related Readings The subject of this paper* is certain peculiar readings of sentences like the following ones: (1)a. Four thousand ships passed through the lock last year. b. The library lent out 23,000 books in 1987. C. Sixty tons of radioactive waste were transported through the lock last year. d. The dry cleaners cleaned 5.7 million bags of clothing in 1987. e. 12,000 persons walked through the turnstile yesterday. Take the first example, (la) (it is inspired by the basic text of the LiLog project of IBM Germany, which first drew my attention to these sen- tences). It clearly has two readings. The first one, call it the object-related reading, says that there are four thousand ships which passed through the lock last year. The second one, call it the event-related reading, says that there were four thousand events of passing through the lock by a ship last year. The object-related reading presupposes the existence of (at least) four thousand ships in the world we are talking about. In the event-related reading, there might be fewer ships in the world. In the limiting case, a single ship passing through the lock about 12 times a day would be suffi- cient. We find the same ambiguity in the other examples of (1). The library might contain fewer than 23,000 books, there might be less than sixty tons of radioactive waste, there might be less than 5.7 million bags of clothing, and there might be fewer than 12,000 persons - but the sentences (lb-e) could still be true in their event-related readings.

In addition to its importance as an artifact of one of the nation's earliest and most significant public works, it draws attention to one of the lesser known and largely overlooked designs of Squire Whipple, nineteenth-century America's foremost theoretician-practitioner of truss bridge design. Fabricated in the Waterford, New York, iron works of George W. Eddy and erected by John Hutchinson of Troy, the Aldrich change bridge was a product of the rich industrial complex then flourishing at the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers in eastern New York.

The reason for difference in water levels can be natural such as tidal variations or can be manmade such as construction of dam or barrage across the river. The main components of Navigation lock comprise of approach channels, lock pit, filling/emptying arrangement. Design of lock depends on lockage time, water level variations, Lock capacity requirements, design vessel size. filling/emptying system shall be designed to work under gravity flow without any pumping requirements. Filling/emptying system is chosen to get appropriate filling/ emptying time. The optimum time for filling and emptying is generally kept between 8.0-10.0 minutes. The size of filling culverts are so computed to attain the optimum time for filling/emptying. Every lock is unique in terms of its geology, location, size, requirements and water level differences. Here typical design aspects of a navigational Lock in inland waterway have been described.

    The Lost City of Tryon Trail Is an Approved Historic Trail Of

    The Lost City of Tryon Trail is an approved Historic Trail of the Boy Scouts of America and is administered by the Seneca Waterways Council Scouting Historical Society. It offers hikers a fantastic opportunity to experience a geographic location of enduring historic significance in Upstate New York. 2018 EDITION Seneca Waterways Council Scouting Historical Society 2320 Brighton-Henrietta Town Line Road, Rochester, NY 14623 version 2.0 rdc 10/2018 A Nice Hike For Any Season Introduction The Irondequoit Bay area was once at the crossroads of travel and commerce for Native Americans. It was the home of the Algonquin and later the Seneca, visited by a plethora of famous explorers, soldiers, missionaries and pioneers. This guidebook provides only a small glimpse of the wonders of this remote wilderness prior to 1830. The Lost City of Tryon Trail takes you through a historic section of Brighton, New York, in Monroe County’s Ellison Park. The trail highlights some of the remnants of the former City of Tryon (portions of which were located within the present park) as well as other historic sites. It was also the location of the southernmost navigable terminus of Irondequoit Creek via Irondequoit Bay, more commonly known as “The Landing.” The starting and ending points are at the parking lot on North Landing Road, opposite the house at #225. Use of the Trail The Lost City of Tryon Trail is located within Ellison Park and is open for use in accordance with park rules and regulations. Seasonal recreation facilities, water, and comfort stations are available. See the park’s page on the Monroe County, NY website for additional information.
