Strengthening, exhaustification, and rational inference by Asherov, Daniel, Fox, Danny, Katzir, Roni

“…By varying the scenarios in which an expression such as “Pick the crate with a banana” is evaluated, we show that the strengthening of “crate with a banana” within the scope of the definite article parallels the entailments of “crate with only a banana” (with an overt exhaustivity operator, ‘only’). …”

Developments in THz Polaritonics: Towards Integrated Nonlinear THz Spectroscopy by Sung, Eric Rueyhao

“…A circular stair-step "echelon" mirror is used to shape the pump pulse into a conical tilted pulse front composed of a series of concentric rings of pump light. When the pump rings are imaged onto a thin LT waveguide, coherent superposition of the focusing THz fields excited individually by each pump ring results in a dramatically enhanced THz field at the focus. …”
