Mutual Correspondence Research Articles

鉄鋼材料の応力−ひずみ曲線

Stress-strain curve is essentially important to evaluate microstructural dependence of mechanical properties in steels and has been widely used in materials researches. Hence lots of experimental and theoretical studies have been made so far. Historical progress on this issue is briefly reviewed focusing on empirical relationships between microstructure and mechanical properties, theoretical modeling using continuum mechanics, deformation mechanism revealed by neutron diffraction, and modeling based on thermodynamics of dislocation motion. Mutual correspondence among these four topics is highlighted.

Spatial Evolution of a Strong Field of Few-cycle Light Beam in Dielectric Media with Induced Plasma Nonlinearity

The paper reports results of computer simulation of strong light beam propagation in dielectric media in case of plasma generation. We investigate an extra-broadening of radiation spectrum to a 'violet' wing of visible range. We show that the resulting pulse spectrum is represented by sequence of well-separated maximums, broadening as propagation distance increases. Experimental data are compared with simulation results, showing a good mutual correspondence of spectral representations.

EXPERIENCIA DE LA HISTORICIDAD E HISTORICIDAD DE LA EXPERIENCIA: EL MUNDO COMO ESPACIO HERMENÉUTICO

The following article aims at showing the mutual correspondence between experience and historicity in the work of Hans-Georg Gadamer. Experience is understood as the fundamental movement of the historical existence, which articulates the various spheres of human action. The hermeneutic experience shows that understanding does not lie in a methodical procedure, but in the way of existence in the world. The hermeneutic act is understood as a continuing appropriation process that is carried out through language and where new meanings are updated, that reveal the mobile characteristics of the interpretation. Therefore, the historicity of understanding is the fundamental hermeneutical principle which excludes the possibility of an absolute historical consciousness, in favor of a historicallyeffected consciousness (wirkungsgeschtliches Bewustseins).

Dielectric response of (Ba,Sr)TiO3 thin films in a terahertz and IR ranges

Dependences of the dielectric response spectra on the thickness of the films based on the (Ba,Sr)TiO3 (BST) solid solutions, which were deposited on single-crystal MgO substrates, have been analyzed. Using the Lorentz and Lyddane-Sachs-Teller models, the mutual correspondence of longitudinal optical (LO) and transverse optical (TO) phonon frequencies has established. The giant LO-TO splitting of the lowest-frequency vibration and inversion of LO and TO frequencies of other phonons in the IR spectrum of BST films has been found for the first time.

The Enlightened Eye: Goethe and Visual Culture ed. by Evelyn K. Moore, Patricia Anne Simpson (review)

Evelyn K. Moore and Patricia Anne Simpson, eds., The Enlightened Eye: Goethe and Visual Culture. Amsterdam: Rodopi, 2007.322 pp.A product of the 2003 German Studies Association Conference, this edited volume contextualizes Goethe's concerns with vision, language, and identity to produce a prolegomenon to a more comprehensive reexamination of visual aesthetics in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Given the surge of interest in inter-art relations, a volume placing Goethe in the center of an interdisciplinary and contextual study of visual aesthetics is bound to attract much scholarly attention. To do justice to the rich variety of the contributions, a brief assessment of each chapter is called for.At the center of her erudite study, Melissa Dabakis places Goethe and the painter Angelika Kauffmann's common membership in the Arcadian Academy, the eighteenth-century literary, artistic, and cultural society dedicated to the promotion of Enlightenment ideals of natural simplicity against baroque bombast. Her interdisciplinary approach shifts the locus of Goethe's neoclassical revival in Italy away from Winckelmann's sculptural aesthetics toward the poetic and pictorial sphere of the Arcadian Academy. Catriona MacLeod's meticulously researched and composed study of porcelain miniatures in classical Weimar successfully inserts her micro medium into the aesthetic debates of the neoclassical age. Her nuanced interpretive assessment of the half-body busts of aristocrats, artists, intellectuals, and mythological figures, including Laocoon and his sons, that adorned the tables of the upper classes, highlights the ambivalence of a medium that not only reproduced but also challenged the neoclassical principles of emotional restraint and corporeal control.While the subject matter of Beate Allert's Runge, Friedrich: On Painting is better known, her study lends newer insights into Goethe's relationship to both artists. With references to their mutual correspondence, Allert reexamines key points of conflict and identifies areas of convergence between Goethe's intensely visual poetry, his color theory, and the Romantic painters' visualization of temporality. With her discussion of the collaborative Athenaeum essay Die Gemahlde: Gesprach, whose likely coauthorship by Caroline and/or Dorothea Schlegel was omitted by the Schlegel brothers, Margaretmary Daley adds new documentation of the philological neglect of women's texts. Her interpretation calls attention to the fact that the female protagonist successfully argues for the inclusion of a holistic feminine viewpoint to complement malecentered aesthetic theory and reception of artworks. Women's own creative agency also lies at the heart of Mary Helen Dupree's compelling case study. She examines Elise Burger's theatrical and literary career to illustrate how negative biographical anecdotes and gender stereotypes conspired to provoke her exclusion from the Weimar circle, and to demonstrate which rhetorical strategies Burger deployed to counteract her marginalization.Patricia Anne Simpson's Visions of the Nation: Goethe, Karl Friedrich Schinkel, and Ernst Moritz Arndt is a complex interpretive undertaking combining several layers of analysis (interart, gender, historical aesthetics) against the background of the Prussian Wars of Liberation. The gender-specific focus on the portrayal of women as allegory for the nation brings into relief the central allegorical figure of Goethe's neoclassical play Des Epimenides Erwachen, Hope, an embodiment of the nation endowed with traditional male attributes of fighting spirit and cognitive power, and demonstrates the complexity of Goethe's allegory in comparison with contemporary portrayals. …

Classes evaluation: Methods and tools

This study presents a method, tools, course and results of foreign language classes evaluation conducted in the summer semester 2012/2013 in the Andrzej Frycz - Modrzewski Krakow University. Because a new evaluation procedure has been implemented at the University, the former method - based on paper forms filled in by the students - was abandoned. On the surveyanyplace.com website, a free account has been registered and the form of the evaluation questionnaire has been inserted. This coverage presents results of a taxometric analysis aimed at checking the degree of mutual correspondence (correlation) between certain criteria and instancing a graphic presentation of the evaluation results in a multidimensional perspective. In order to classify the grading criteria, the Ward's agglomerative method, along with Euclidean metric as a measure of criteria similarity, have been used. Calculations have been made with the use of Statistica package. Results of the questionnaire show that foreign language teaching at the Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University is conducted professionally and on a high factual level.

Cultura organizacional y educativa: Un sincretismo para el éxito empresarial

The aim of this article is to explore the importance of organi- zational culture, specially those elements that determine it and become a key construct for the success of a modern business. In this effort, we will seek to understand the close relationship between communicatio- nal function and educational and training role within the institution. In the other hand, we will discover how the business culture, education and communication bear a complex relationship and mutual correspondence. Under this approach, we propose what we call a strategic syncretism be- tween the agents that enable the communicational function in business, and the educational and training role within the organizational culture.

Possibility-theoretic extension of derivation operators in formal concept analysis over fuzzy lattices

Formal concept analysis (FCA) associates a binary relation between a set of objects and a set of properties to a lattice of formal concepts defined through a Galois connection. This relation is called a formal context, and a formal concept is then defined by a pair made of a subset of objects and a subset of properties that are put in mutual correspondence by the connection. Several fuzzy logic approaches have been proposed for inducing fuzzy formal concepts from L-contexts based on antitone L-Galois connections. Besides, a possibility-theoretic reading of FCA which has been recently proposed allows us to consider four derivation powerset operators, namely sufficiency, possibility, necessity and dual sufficiency (rather than one in standard FCA). Classically, fuzzy FCA uses a residuated algebra for maintaining the closure property of the composition of sufficiency operators. In this paper, we enlarge this framework and provide sound minimal requirements of a fuzzy algebra w.r.t. the closure and opening properties of antitone L-Galois connections as well as the closure and opening properties of isotone L-Galois connections. We apply these results to particular compositions of the four derivation operators. We also give some noticeable properties which may be useful for building the corresponding associated lattices.

Developing conceptions of statistics by designing measures of distribution

Students often learn procedures for measuring, but rarely do they grapple with the foundational conceptual problem of generating and validating coordination between a measure and the phenomenon being measured. Coordinating measures with phenomenon involves developing an appreciation of the objects and relations in each as well as establishing their mutual correspondence. We supported students’ developing conceptions of statistics by positioning them to design measures of center and of variability for distributions that they had generated through repeated measure of a length. After students invented and explored the viability of their measures individually, they participated in a public (whole-class conversation) forum featuring justification and reflection about the viability of their designed measures. We illustrate how individual invention enticed students to attend to, and to make explicit, characteristics of distribution not initially noticed or known only tacitly. Conceptions of statistics and of relevant characteristics of distribution were further expanded as students justified and argued about the utility and prospective generalization of particular inventions. Teachers supported student learning by highlighting prospective relations between characteristics of measures and characteristics of distribution as they emerged during the course of activity in each setting.

Thermal Model of High-Speed Spindle Units

For the purpose to facilitate development of high-speed Spindle Units (SUs) running on rolling bearings, we have developed a beam element model, algorithms, and software for computer analysis of thermal characteristics of SUs. The thermal model incorporates a model of heat generation in rolling bearings, a model of heat transfer from bearings, and models for estimation of temperature and temperature deformations of SU elements. We have carried out experimental test and made quantitative evaluation of the effect of operation conditions on friction and thermal characteristics of the SUs of grinding and turning machines of typical structures. It is found that the operation conditions make stronger effect on SU temperatures when rpm increases. A comparison between the results of analysis and experiment proves their good mutual correspondence and allows us to recommend application of the models and software developed for design and research of high-speed SUs running on rolling bearings.

The integrated analysis of metabolic and protein interaction networks reveals novel molecular organizing principles

BackgroundThe study of biological interaction networks is a central theme of systems biology. Here, we investigate the relationships between two distinct types of interaction networks: the metabolic pathway map and the protein-protein interaction network (PIN). It has long been established that successive enzymatic steps are often catalyzed by physically interacting proteins forming permanent or transient multi-enzymes complexes. Inspecting high-throughput PIN data, it was shown recently that, indeed, enzymes involved in successive reactions are generally more likely to interact than other protein pairs. In our study, we expanded this line of research to include comparisons of the underlying respective network topologies as well as to investigate whether the spatial organization of enzyme interactions correlates with metabolic efficiency.ResultsAnalyzing yeast data, we detected long-range correlations between shortest paths between proteins in both network types suggesting a mutual correspondence of both network architectures. We discovered that the organizing principles of physical interactions between metabolic enzymes differ from the general PIN of all proteins. While physical interactions between proteins are generally dissortative, enzyme interactions were observed to be assortative. Thus, enzymes frequently interact with other enzymes of similar rather than different degree. Enzymes carrying high flux loads are more likely to physically interact than enzymes with lower metabolic throughput. In particular, enzymes associated with catabolic pathways as well as enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of complex molecules were found to exhibit high degrees of physical clustering. Single proteins were identified that connect major components of the cellular metabolism and may thus be essential for the structural integrity of several biosynthetic systems.ConclusionOur results reveal topological equivalences between the protein interaction network and the metabolic pathway network. Evolved protein interactions may contribute significantly towards increasing the efficiency of metabolic processes by permitting higher metabolic fluxes. Thus, our results shed further light on the unifying principles shaping the evolution of both the functional (metabolic) as well as the physical interaction network.

Uniform fuzzy relations and fuzzy functions

In this paper we introduce and study the concepts of a uniform fuzzy relation and a (partially) uniform F-function. We give various characterizations and constructions of uniform fuzzy relations and uniform F-functions, we show that the usual composition of fuzzy relations is not convenient for F-functions, so we introduce another kind of composition, and we establish a mutual correspondence between uniform F-functions and fuzzy equivalences. We also give some applications of uniform fuzzy relations in approximate reasoning, especially in fuzzy control, and we show that uniform fuzzy relations are closely related to the defuzzification problem.

„Floating signifiers”: Negotiating the meaning of national in Montenegro, at the Internet chat room Café del Montenegro

The paper represents the analysis of the narratives that deal with the sentiment of national belonging in Montenegro within the chat room Café del Montenegro. The practice of the Internet chat room users is perceived as cultural engagement – „practicing“ the State and the emotion of national identification of its own kind. By writing, arguing, negotiating the meaning of the state and nation an abundance of different and broken knowledge’s are created- many histories, geographies, ethics and politics are offered. On the one hand, these directly undermines, jeopardizes and questions the power of the State narrative, hitherto negotiating the nation, the State, authentic devotion, simultaneously manufacturing the state-nation as a reality. The result of mutual correspondence in the chat room is persistent negotiation of the meaning of national categories in Montenegro over the years.

Image registration framework for large-scale longitudinal MRI data sets: strategy and validation

Advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies often require the transformation of large numbers of images into a common space. Calculating transformations that relate each image to every other and applying them to the images on demand are theoretically possible; however, these can be computationally prohibitive. Therefore, relating each image to only one other image, then linking those transforms together to relate any two images in the database, may be an efficient alternative. Evaluated were the feasibility and validity of image registration to bring intraindividual MR images into mutual correspondence for longitudinal analysis through the concatenation of precomputed transforms. A longitudinal data set of 10 multiple sclerosis patients with nine serial dual-echo spin-echo, 1.5-T MRI scans was used. Intrasubject registrations were performed stepwise between consecutive images and direct from each time point to the baseline. Consecutive transforms were concatenated and evaluated against direct registrations by comparing the resulting transformed images (using Pearson correlation coefficient). Confounding variables such as time between scans, brain atrophy, and change in lesion load were evaluated. We found the images resampled with the direct and the concatenated transforms to be highly correlated, and there was no significant difference between methods. Differences in brain parenchymal fraction (a measure of brain atrophy) showed significant inverse correlation with the correspondence of the resampled images. Results indicate that concatenating multiple transforms that link two images together produces near-identical results to that of direct registration; thus, this method is both useful and valid.

Constructing Sisterly Relations in Epistolary Practices: The Writing Krohn Sisters (1890–1950)

The article focuses on three Finnish sisters, writers Helmi Krohn (1871–1967), Aino Kallas (1878–1956), and Aune Krohn (1881–1967), and their mutual correspondence. Their vast personal archives, consisting of letters and diaries, offer fruitful material for the purpose of exploring the connection between lives lived and lives written. In this article Leskelä‐Kärki explores the ways of constructing life‐stories based on autobiographical material or, specifically, sibling correspondence. Leskelä‐Kärki concentrates on the special features of sibling correspondence, and proposes approaches to the much‐debated connection between a lived experience and a written account of it. Using a few empirical examples, she proposes a method of empathetic reading and acceptance of certain strangeness and otherness in our encounters with past people.

Phase stability and structural relations of nanometer-sized, matrix-embedded precipitate phases in Al–Mg–Si alloys in the late stages of evolution

AlMgSi alloys are commonly used in the automotive industry. In the bake-hardening process of AA6xxx alloys, nanometer-size Mg x Si y Al z -type precipitates play a crucial role. A large number of structures and compositions occur between the initial supersaturated solid solution and the stable Mg 2Si phase. The transition from pre-β″ to β″ phase marks the transition from face-centered cubic (fcc)-type structures to non-fcc-type structures. A new pre-β″ phase is identified with the composition Mg 4Si 7 that is energetically very favorable. Although the late precipitate phases (β″, β′, U1, U2 and U3) are very different in composition and crystallography, their mutual correspondence is made clear by an analysis of the orientation relationships and substructures. It is shown that they share the same substructures consisting of Mg hexagons which enclose a parallelogram of four atoms. Phase transitions are characterized by columnar and planar shifts of these substructures, and not by a total rearrangement of all the atoms.

Mapping dry/wet snow cover in the Indian Himalayas using IRS multispectral imagery

Application of remote sensing data has been made to differentiate between dry/wet snows in a glacierized basin. The present study has been carried out in the Gangotri glacier, Himalayas, using IRS-LISS-III multispectral data for the period March–November 2000 and the digital elevation model. The methodology involves conversion of satellite sensor data into reflectance values, computation of NDSI, determination of the boundary between dry/wet snows from spectral response data, and threshold slicing of the image data. The areas of dry snow cover and wet snow cover for different dates of satellite overpasses have been computed. The dry snow area has been compared with non-melting area obtained from the temperature lapse rate method, and the two are found to be in close mutual correspondence (< 15%). It is observed that there occur four water-bearing zones in the glacierized basin: dry snow zone, wet snow zone, exposed glacial ice and moraine-covered glacial ice, each of which possesses unique hydrological characteristics and can be distinguished and mapped from satellite sensor data. It is suggested that input of data on the position and extent of specifically wet snow and exposed glacial ice, which can be directly derived from remote sensing, should improve hydrological simulation of such basins.

Multilingual corpora: models, methods, uses

O presente artigo relata nossos trabalhos com corpora multilíngües na Universidade de Oslo. Diferentes modelos de corpora são apresentados, em especial, o modelo bidirecional de tradução usado no English-Norwegian Parallel Corpus (ENPC). As etapas de construção do ENPC são descritas de forma sucinta, acompanhadas de alguns comentários acerca dos problemas encontrados. Grande parte do artigo é dedicada aos usos desse tipo de corpus. Há também uma breve introdução à ferramenta de busca desenvolvida para o ENPC. O principal objetivo aqui é mostrar que o modelo bidirecional de corpus de tradução possibilita a realização de estudos contrastivos e permite, simultaneamente, observar efeitos de tradução. A noção de correspondência mútua, introduzida por Bent Altenberg, é discutida quando comentamos seu estudo sobre conectores adverbias em inglês e sueco, desenvolvido com base no corpus English-Swedish Parallel Corpus, criado segundo os mesmos parâmetros do ENPC. Como exemplo de efeitos de tradução, são tecidos alguns comentários quanto à distribuição de dois verbos de posição no ENPC: o norueguês stå e seu cognato em inglês stand. A diferença é mais marcada em textos originais; já nas traduções, a distribuição é claramente influenciada pelos textos originais.

La interpretación de la intencionalidad en la obra temprana de Heidegger

This article examines the Heideggerian interpretation of intentionality as documented in some university lessons related to Being and Time. In his interpretation, Heidegger determines the phenomenological sense of intentionality as the universal structure of the lived experiences and in terms of the mutual correspondence of intentio and intentum. He also understands the concept of intentum as related to entity in itself, in the strict phenomenological sense that refers to an entity in its mode of being intended. Besides, he offers indications wich allow us to understand the connection of the phenomenological concept of intentum with the ontological question about the mode of being of entities and with the origin of the ontological difference.
