Construções ditransitivas e estrutura informacional em Português Europeu quando o OD é um constituinte pesado

The text analyses the relation between argument structure and information structure with “core dative verbs” in European Portuguese (EP), specifically in the constructions with heavy direct objects (DO). Developing some previous analysis , I will argue in favour of the proposal that EP has a basic construction of ditransitives where the DO is projected as complement of a low verbal category and the IO is projected in the specifier position of that verbal category. When the DP DO raises to a higher position because of Case reasons, the order V DO IO is obtained. With a heavy and focalized DO the order is V IO OD and that can be explained if the DP DO leaves a spelled-out copy. This approach makes discursive functional categories such that topic and focus in the left periphery of the Verbal Phrase unnecessary and reinforces the view that in languages like European Portuguese information structure relates, in a very strong way, Syntax and Phonology and Syntax and Prosody.

Разрешение в русском и немецком дискурсе: сходства и различия в реализации модели речевого поведения

The present paper aims to reveal similar and different features when realizing the speech behavior pattern (SPB) of permission in Russian and German. The SPB analysis includes the following major factors to be concerned with: definition of illocutionary purpose of the SPB in terms of Natural Semantic Metalanguage, description of basic grammatical constructions belonging to SBP and identification of communicative-pragmatic factors important for choice of a specific utterance. The possibilities of expressing the SBP of permission in Russian and German are described using the method of the communicative-pragmatic field (CPF). The peculiarities of the field organization in these languages are revealed. The language data are taken from the existing Russian and German corpora.

Mechanism and Performance Differences between the SSG/LRR-ω and SST Turbulence Models in Separated Flows

Accurate predictions of flow separation are important for aerospace design, flight accident avoidance, and the development of fluid mechanics. However, the complexity of the separation process makes accurate predictions challenging for all known Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) methods, and the underlying mechanism of action remains unclear. This paper analyzes the specific reasons for the defective predictions of the turbulence models applied to separated flows, explores the physical properties that impact the predictions, and investigates their specific mechanisms. Taking the Menter SST and the Speziale-Sarkar–Gatski/Launder–Reece–Rodi (SSG/LRR)-ω models as representatives, three typical separated flow cases are calculated. The performance differences between the two turbulence models applied to the different separated flow calculations are then compared. Refine the vital physical properties and analyze their calculation from the basic assumptions, modeling ideas, and construction of the turbulence models. The numerical results show that the underestimation of Reynolds stress is a significant factor in the unsatisfactory prediction of separation. In the SST model, Bradshaw’s assumption imposes the turbulent energy equilibrium condition in all regions and the eddy–viscosity coefficient is underestimated, which leads to advanced separation and lagging reattachment. In the SSG/LRR-ω model, the fidelity with which the pressure–strain term is modeled is a profound factor affecting the calculation accuracy.

At the present stage of the revolutionary development of technologies, scientists from the leading countries of the world are working intensively to create qualitatively new materials whose physical-mechanical, electrical, thermal or other properties far exceed the basic constructions, armament or other metals used. Such materials are surface, brittle, composite ceramic materials (based on oxide and carbide ceramics, state-of-the-art surface compositions, polycrystalline diamond + Si  SiC and etc.). A progressive process for diamond grinding test samples from composite ceramic materials to determine the bending strength is discussed. The proposed technological process is based on an original and effective method for polishing the flat surfaces of articles made of difficult-to-process and composite materials - low-temperature precision grinding (LPG). Based on the results of many years and multilateral studies in the field of diamond processing of various non-metallic, composite and ceramic materials, optimum conditions for diamond polishing of mentioned materials have been determined and recommended. Technological equipment and equipment for processing composite and ceramic materials are also disclosed.

Ditransitive Construction in English, Hungarian, Turkish, and Indonesian Language

Abstract: Every language shows a different way of expressing ditransitive construction. Thus, the present study aims to investigate and compare the important elements exhibit in the languages under discussion in constructing ditransitive sentences. This paper is a qualitative study. The data comes from detailed written grammar texts, corpora, and interviews with native language speakers. The results show that the languages play with the word order to weigh the focus of sentences. English and Indonesian language do not apply any case-marking to mark the function of the noun phrase. However, in the basic prototypical ditransitive construction, Hungarian and Turkish languages apply an accusative marker to mark the theme and a dative marker to mark the recipient. On the other hand, the verbs’ affixation also affects the semantic property of the ditransitive verbs in the Indonesian language. It is also revealed that the languages use the same ditransitive construction to express genuine transfer and beneficial transfer.Keywords: ditransitive construction, cognitive grammar, comparative study.

The Teaching Optimization Algorithm Mode of Integrating Mobile Cloud Teaching into Ideological and Political Courses under the Internet Thinking Mode

The purposes are to use the Internet technology to innovate the ideological and political (IAP) classroom teaching mode, take full advantage of the mobile platform under big data (BD), improve the effectiveness of IAP education, and deeply grasp the internal needs of students for the IAP classroom. First, the specific meaning and implementation process of mobile cloud teaching (MCT) under the Internet are deeply studied, as well as the connotation of the IAP course. Second, some suggestions are proposed. A theoretical analysis of the synergy between MCT and IAP classroom is conducted, and the teaching situation of cloud teaching classroom from the basic construction and operation mode of MCT platform is discussed. Finally, a case study on blue-ink cloud class is carried out. The results show that to realize the innovation of the IAP classroom teaching mode, it is considered that the IAP classroom has a strong dependence on the information. The MCT platform has wide access to information, which can well connect with the IAP classroom. The teaching methods of the cloud teaching platform tend to be diversified and interesting, and the overall teaching pattern is different from the traditional classroom teaching mode. The teaching effect is greatly improved based on the MCT platform. To achieve the synergy of the Internet and the MCT platform, the advantages of the cloud teaching platform should be expanded, the online communication between teachers and students should be strengthened, and the channels for information acquisition should be opened up. Blue-ink cloud class fully utilizes the advantages of the cloud teaching platform, which provides a great reference for IAP classroom teaching. Its flexible teaching method and intelligent management are helpful to the reform of IAP classroom teaching in the future.

Constructive Spherical Codes by Hopf Foliations

We present a new systematic approach to constructing spherical codes in dimensions $2^k$, based on Hopf foliations. Using the fact that a sphere $S^{2n-1}$ is foliated by manifolds $S_{\cos\eta}^{n-1} \times S_{\sin\eta}^{n-1}$, $\eta\in[0,\pi/2]$, we distribute points in dimension $2^k$ via a recursive algorithm from a basic construction in $\mathbb{R}^4$. Our procedure outperforms some current constructive methods in several small-distance regimes and constitutes a compromise between achieving a large number of codewords for a minimum given distance and effective constructiveness with low encoding computational cost. Bounds for the asymptotic density are derived and compared with other constructions. The encoding process has storage complexity $O(n)$ and time complexity $O(n \log n)$. We also propose a sub-optimal decoding procedure, which does not require storing the codebook and has time complexity $O(n \log n)$.

Reconfigurable Two‐Dimensional DNA Lattices: Static and Dynamic Angle Control

AbstractBranched DNA motifs serve as the basic construction elements for all synthetic DNA nanostructures. However, precise control of branching orientation remains a key challenge to further heighten the overall structural order. In this study, we use two strategies to control the branching orientation. The first one is based on immobile Holliday junctions which employ specific nucleotide sequences at the branch points which dictate their orientation. The second strategy is to use angle‐enforcing struts to fix the branching orientation with flexible spacers at the branch points. We have also demonstrated that the branching orientation control can be achieved dynamically, either by canonical Watson–Crick base pairing or non‐canonical nucleobase interactions (e.g., i‐motif and G‐quadruplex). With precise angle control and feedback from the chemical environment, these results will enable novel DNA nanomechanical sensing devices, and precisely‐ordered three‐dimensional architectures.

An Approach to Acquire the Constraints Using Panel Big Data Hybrid Association Rule and Discretization Process for Breast Cancer Prediction.

In recent years, big data has become an important branch of computer science. However, without AI, it is difficult to dive into the context of data as a prediction term, relying on a large feature of improving the process of prediction is connected with big data modelling, which appears to be a significant aspect of improving the process of prediction. Accordingly, one of the basic constructions of the big data model is the rule-based method. Rule-based method is used to discover and utilize a set of association rules that collectively represent the relationships identified by the system. This work focused on the use of the Apriori algorithm for the investigations of constraints from panel data using the discretization preprocess technique. The statistical outcomes are associated with the improved preprocess that can be applied over the transaction and it can illustrate interesting rules with confidence approximately equal to one. The minimum support provided to the present rule considers constraint as a milestone for the prediction model. The model makes an effective and accurate decision. In nowadays business, several guidelines have been produced. Moreover, the generation method was upgraded because of an association data algorithm that works for dissimilar principles of the structures compared with fewer breaks that are delivered by the discretization technique.

Hydrocarbon Fractions from Thermolysis of Waste Plastics as Components of Engine Fuels

Plastics are one of the basic construction materials with a wide range of various applications. One of their disadvantages is the problem of managing the waste they generate. Chemical recycling offers the possibility of liquefying polymeric waste and using it as fuel components. Existing technologies giving good quality products are expensive. The HT technology developed and described by the authors is cheaper and enables a high quality product to be obtained. The authors have shown that the quality of the received fuel components is influenced not only by the polymer waste processing technology, but also by the feedstock composition. The presented thermolysis technology not only enables more advanced recycling, but also gives the possibility of partial improvement of the product quality. A product with the best physico-chemical properties was obtained from a blend of PE:PP:PS used in the ratio 60:30:10. It was proved that diesel and petrol blends composed of a 5% v/v share of petrol and diesel fractions, obtained from thermolysis of plastics, meet the normative requirements of fuel quality standards.

About grid generation in constructions bounded by the surfaces of revolution

For constructions bounded by the surfaces of revolution, structured grid generation technique is presented. Its technology has been elaborated within the variational approach for constructing optimal grids satisfying optimality criteria: closeness of grids to uniform ones, closeness of grids to orthogonal ones and adaptation to a given function. Grid generation has been designed for numerical solution of the differential equations modeling the vortex processes of multi-component hydrodynamics. In the technology, the three-dimensional construction in which it is required to construct a grid is represented in the form of the curvilinear hexahedron defining its configuration. The specific feature of the required configurations is that some faces of a curvilinear hexahedron lie in one plane and along edges of adjoining faces grid cells degenerate into prisms. Grid generation in the considered constructions has started to be developed by the elaboration of algorithms for the volume of revolution which has become the basic construction. The basic construction is obtained by the rotation through 180? around the axis of a generatrix consisting of straight line segments, arcs of circles and ellipses. Then the deformed volumes of revolutions are considered along with the generalizations of the volume of revolution which represent constructions obtained by the surfaces of revolution with parallel axis of rotation. The aim of the further development of the technology is to consider more and more complicated constructions and elaborate the technology for them. In the presentation, the current state of the development of the technology is given. Examples of generated grids are supplied.

Recent Progresses in NIR-I/II Fluorescence Imaging for Surgical Navigation.

Cancer is still one of the main causes of morbidity and death rate around the world, although diagnostic and therapeutic technologies are used to advance human disease treatment. Currently, surgical resection of solid tumors is the most effective and a prior remedial measure to treat cancer. Although medical treatment, technology, and science have advanced significantly, it is challenging to completely treat this lethal disease. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, including the first near-infrared region (NIR-I, 650–900 nm) and the second near-infrared region (NIR-II, 1,000–1,700 nm), plays an important role in image-guided cancer surgeries due to its inherent advantages, such as great tissue penetration, minimal tissue absorption and emission light scattering, and low autofluorescence. By virtue of its high precision in identifying tumor tissue margins, there are growing number of NIR fluorescence-guided surgeries for various living animal models as well as patients in clinical therapy. Herein, this review introduces the basic construction and operation principles of fluorescence molecular imaging technology, and the representative application of NIR-I/II image-guided surgery in biomedical research studies are summarized. Ultimately, we discuss the present challenges and future perspectives in the field of fluorescence imaging for surgical navigation and also put forward our opinions on how to improve the efficiency of the surgical treatment.

A Participatory Approach on Saving Vernacular Timber Heritage: A Case Study on Relocating a Wooden Church in Romania

This paper presents a case study on participatory and collaborative traditional design-build architecture in Romania. The focus is set on dismantling, relocating, rebuilding and reusing a 19th century wooden church with the efforts of the adopting community. In Romania, wood is used as a traditional building material, largely for roof framing elements in urban areas and in most mountainous rural areas for the construction of houses and churches. Due to an ongoing demographic rural-urban migration and emigration many villages have, and are being depopulated, subsequently abandoned and many such structures left behind. Under these circumstances, the possibility of dismantling, relocating and reusing these types of structures has become economically viable in comparison to new-built structures. The design for disassembly, inherent to vernacular timber architecture and how the deconstruction and reuse of timber elements maintain their value through efficient reuse makes it a suitable work frame for a participatory based approach involving communities with basic construction skill levels. Thus strengthening communities, maintaining and developing local identity through heritage and crafts. This type of action shows an increasing potential for saving timber vernacular structures by activating local communities and responding to their needs, in a time where the concern for natural resource management and re-cycling or up-cycling is becoming ever more important. The aim of the project is to increase awareness regarding timber built heritage by formulating a successful example of a participatory design- build project. A desired goal is to shift the architectural discourse by coalescing it with wider views of democracy and alternative visions of a sustainable future.

The influence of suspended ceilings on the impact sound insulation of wooden-beamed ceilings in a Wilhelminian style house

The refurbishment of Wilhelminian style houses, driven by the densification of the living space, is increasingly leading to problems in the field of sound insulation. The high-quality refurbishment of the outer shell of the existing buildings significantly reduces the basic noise level in living rooms. The focus of the project and the work shown is to improve the impact sound insulation of wooden beamed ceilings in Wilhelminian style houses without adding floor height. This ceiling systems show significant differences in its basic constructions compared to the modern wood-beamed ceilings (beam dimensions, spans width, etc.). The work shown examines different suspended ceilings constructions on a wood-beamed ceiling in a Wilhelminian style house. The conclusions are based on the measurement of the impact sound level in different construction phases according to ÖNORM EN ISO 16283-2:2018. An unknown influence are openings, in large numbers, in the suspended ceiling. These are often caused by the installation of lighting or by ventilation systems. The results show that depending on the resulting cross-sectional area of the holes, a reduction in the impact sound insulation is recognizable and should be considered in the planning process.

The influence of envelopes in the thermal performance of residential buildings, from the perspective of bioclimatic architecture

Energy efficiency measures (EEMs) and their impact on the thermal performance of buildings as well as on the user's thermal comfort, have become the focus of several studies. Bioclimatic strategies can contribute to improving thermal performance while increasing indoor thermal comfort for users. This paper aims to verify the bioclimatic potential of two types of dwellings in three Brazilian cities. The first one is the baseline, with basic construction systems. The other includes EEMs. The method consists of the verification of bioclimatic potential by psychometric charts for indoor and outdoor conditions. The results show significant indoor discomfort caused by heat in both dwellings—thermal comfort conditions during more than 95% of annual hours in Manaus, and during 85% in São Paulo. Therefore, energy efficiency strategies such as shading, ventilation and HVAC systems are necessary to promote thermal comfort conditions in hot climates.

Arabic Lexical Phrases

The Arabic traditional grammar as well as Chomsky’s mainstream theory may not be able to provide a good analysis of some fixed Arabic phrases. The challenge of such data directly stems from the fact that the general syntactic rules assumed by the two opposing theories cannot explain the syntactic and the semantic aspects of the fixed Arabic data. I argue that the Construction Grammar provides an adequate account that does not rely on syntactic structure alone, as assumed by the mainstream theory or the Arabic traditional grammar, but rather it links phonological, syntactic, and semantic information together in one basic construction by means of some correspondence rules. The Arabic data proves that there is a strong need for a linguistic theory that takes into consideration all data of different range of productivity.

Development on Solid Polymer Electrolytes for Electrochemical Devices.

Electrochemical devices, especially energy storage, have been around for many decades. Liquid electrolytes (LEs), which are known for their volatility and flammability, are mostly used in the fabrication of the devices. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) are also using electrochemical reaction to operate. Following the demand for green and safer energy sources to replace fossil energy, this has raised the research interest in solid-state electrochemical devices. Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are among the candidates to replace the LEs. Hence, understanding the mechanism of ions’ transport in SPEs is crucial to achieve similar, if not better, performance to that of LEs. In this paper, the development of SPE from basic construction to electrolyte optimization, which includes polymer blending and adding various types of additives, such as plasticizers and fillers, is discussed.
