DI ctionnaire Synchronique des FAmilles derivationnelles de mots français (DISFA) as a phase in the evolution of nest word formation
The lexicography of the Slavonic nations, especially the branch of nest lexicography, has seen an impetuous development since the sixties, producing at least fifty publications, but it remains effectively unknown to French lexicography. Updated terminology, the symbols of successive parts of speech in the word-formative chain from the centre of the nest to the specific derivative, remain an achievement of researchers solely on this side of the Rhône. The DISFA dictionary (Claude Gruaz et al., published 2008) neither does refer to the Slavonic tradition, nor even to the native, French tradition (p.ex. an unfinished project from the nineties that was initiated by Danielle Corbin), and remains despite the announcements only a morphological and etymological dictionary.

Researching Polish as a herigage language (using the example of Polish-German bilingualism)
The interest in problems relating to the languages of migrant societies (called heritage languages in the literature) has been steadily growing among linguists and language teachers worldwide, including in Poland, and promoting the rise of new research directions (Heritage Language Acquisition, Heritage Language Learning). The present considerations systematize and review. The paper aims to present the state of research on Polish as a heritage language, in the context of Polish-German bilingualism. Considering the wide range of the issue, I limited myself to only reporting the newest empirical research conducted in Poland and Germany among bilingual speakers of Polish as a heritage language.
Przysłowie Diabeł tkwi w szczegółach we współczesnej polszczyźnie
Authors: Wasiuta Sebastian

The proverb Diabeł tkwi w szczegółach ‘the devil is in the detail’ in contemporary Polish. Rhetoricity, mystification, stereotype
The paper is devoted to the functioning of the proverb diabeł tkwi w szczegółach in multi-genre texts of contemporary Polish. The author discusses the rhetoric potential of the phrase, used when there are problems with the realization of some undertaking. Senders like to use it in the beginning (in the title) and at the end of the text. The persuasive efficiency of an utterance containing the discussed phrase is raised by granting the status of a proverb to the sentence diabeł tkwi w szczegółach, and in particular, by garnishing it with such adjectives as dawne, stare, tradycyjne (‘ancient’, ‘old’, ‘traditional’), or a stylistic qualifier jak to mówią chłopi ‘as peasants say’. In actual fact, the antiquity and popularity of this maxim are a mistification. The last part of the paper is devoted to a reconstruction of the semantics of the proverb, especially with regard to the formally similar phrase bóg tkwi w szczegółach ‘the god is in the detail’.

A history of mathematical linguistics in Russia and in the USSR , with a particular regard to machine translation
Our goal is to follow and analyse the development of mathematical linguistics in Russia and in the USSR. The first application of mathematical methods, primarily statistical, occurred in Russia already in mid-19th century; however a true bloom of mathematical linguistics happens in mid-20th century, owing to the initiation of intensive research into machine translation. Both the rapid development of machine translation in the initial phase, and later curtailment of research due to considerable financial limitations, has a political-historical justification. We finish our description of the history of linguistic research with the use of mathematical methods with the moment of the collapse of the USSR. Additionally, we show the evolution of the methodology of scientific research within mathematical linguistics.

Neurophysiological effects of constraint-induced movement therapy and motor function: A systematic review
Authors: Abdullahi Auwal 
Published: April 2018

Background/Aims:There is a claim that improvements in motor function in people with stroke following constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is due to compensation but not actually neurorestoration. However, few studies have demonstrated improvements in neurophysiological outcomes such as increased motor map size and activation of primary cortex, or their positive correlations with motor function, following CIMT. The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review of CIMT trials using neurophysiological outcomes, and a meta-analysis of the relationship between the neurophysiological outcomes and motor function.Methods:The PubMed, PEDro and CENTRAL databases, as well as the reference lists of the included studies, were searched. The included studies were randomised controlled trials comparing the effect of CIMT on neurophysiological outcomes compared with other rehabilitation techniques, conventional therapy, or another variant of CIMT. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale. The data extracted from the studies were sample size, eligibility criteria, dose of intervention and control, outcome measurements, and time since stroke.Findings:A total of 10 articles (n=219) fulfilled the study inclusion criteria, all of which were used for narrative synthesis, and four studies were used in the meta-analysis. The methodological quality of the studies ranged from low to high. Strong, positive, and significant correlations were found between the neurophysiological and motor function outcomes in fixed effects (z=3.268, p=0.001; r=0.52, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.227–0.994) and random-effects (z=2.106, p=0.035; r=0.54, 95% CI 0.0424–0.827) models.Conclusions:Randomised controlled trials evaluating the effects of CIMT on neurophysiological outcomes are few in number. Additionally, these studies used diverse outcomes, which makes it difficult to draw any meaningful conclusion. However, there is a strong positive correlation between neurophysiological and motor function outcomes in these studies.
Child Marriage in the United States: How Common Is the Practice, And Which Children Are at Greatest Risk?
Authors: Koski Alissa , Heymann Jody 
Published: April 2018

CONTEXTMarriage before the age of 18, commonly referred to as child marriage, is legal under varying conditions across the United States. The prevalence of child marriage among recent cohorts is unknown.METHODSAmerican Community Survey data for 2010–2014 were used to estimate the average national and state‐level proportions of children who had ever been married. Prevalence was calculated by gender, race and ethnicity, and birthplace, and the living arrangements of currently married children were examined.RESULTSApproximately 6.2 of every 1,000 children surveyed had ever been married. Prevalence varied from more than 10 per 1,000 in West Virginia, Hawaii and North Dakota to less than four per 1,000 in Maine, Rhode Island and Wyoming. It was higher among girls than among boys (6.8 vs. 5.7 per 1,000), and was lower among white non‐Hispanic children (5.0 per 1,000) than among almost every other racial or ethnic group studied; it was especially high among children of American Indian or Chinese descent (10.3 and 14.2, respectively). Immigrant children were more likely than U.S.‐born children to have been married; prevalence among children from Mexico, Central America and the Middle East was 2–4 times that of children born in the United States. Only 20% of married children were living with their spouses; the majority of the rest were living with their parents.CONCLUSIONSChild marriage occurs throughout the country. Research on the social forces that perpetuate child marriage is needed to inform efforts to prevent it.
Screens as human and non-human artefacts: Expanding the McLuhans’ tetrad
Authors: Grodsky Nicholas C. , Hildebrand Julia M. , Hakanen Ernest A. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Following Graham Harman in the charge that Marshall and Eric McLuhan’s laws of media are applicable beyond human-made artefacts, this article takes this framework in considering the screen as medium. The screen is a material and virtual principle found in both old and new communication technologies, as well as in non-human environments (e.g. beaver dams and solar objects). Employing Lucas Introna and Fernando Ilharco’s concept of screenness as starting point and common thread, we formulate tetrads of human-made, animal-made and natural screens. Expanding the tetrad is helpful in exploring human and non-human media ecologies and how they may interrelate. We reveal several resonances across media through the concept of the screen and argue that the proliferation of material surfaces of display occludes deeper histories of media objects as well as connections between human and non-human ecologies. This wider application strengthens the laws of media as an epistemology for the ecological workings of a medium. Our conclusion points to non-human theory in reconsidering both the tetrad and the kind of hard technological determinism read into Marshall McLuhan’s work more broadly.
On Milne–Barbier–Unsöld relationships
Authors: Paletou Frédéric 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
This short review aims to clarify upon the origins of so-called Eddington-Barbier relationships, which relate the emergent specific intensity and the flux to the photospheric source function at specific optical depths. Here we discuss the assumptions behind the original derivation of Barbier (1943).We also point to the fact that Milne had already formulated these two relations in 1921.

Published: April 2018

Abstract In this study IrO2 (Iridium oxide) was coated onto a titanium plate anode from a dilute (50 mg/10 ml) IrCl3×H2O salt solution. Coating was done at high temperature (550∘C) using thermal decomposition. Surface morphology and characteristics of coated surface of Ti/IrO2 anode were examined by FESEM and XRD. The coated anode was applied for electrochemical removal of organic pollutants from synthetic water samples in 100 mL compartment of batch electrochemical cell. About 50% COD removal was obtained at anode prepared with low Ir content solution while 72% COD removal was obtained with anode prepared at high Ir content. Maximum COD removal was obtained at 10 mA/cm2 current density.
Analysis of secret sharing schemes based on Nielsen transformations

Abstract
We investigate security properties of two secret-sharing protocols
proposed by Fine, Moldenhauer, and Rosenberger
in Sections 4 and 5 of [B. Fine, A. Moldenhauer and G. Rosenberger,
Cryptographic protocols based on Nielsen transformations,
J. Comput. Comm. 4 2016, 63–107]
(Protocols I and II resp.).
For both protocols, we consider a one missing share challenge.
We show that Protocol I can be reduced to a system of polynomial equations
and (for most randomly generated instances)
solved by the computer algebra system Singular.
Protocol II is approached using the technique of Stallings’ graphs.
We show that knowledge of

{m-1}

shares reduces the space of possible values
of a secret to a set of polynomial size.
Oxidation of 1-N
2-etheno-2′-deoxyguanosine by singlet molecular oxygen results in 2′-deoxyguanosine: a pathway to remove exocyclic DNA damage?

Published: April 2018

Abstract
Exocyclic DNA adducts are considered as potential tools for the study of oxidative stress-related diseases, but an important aspect is their chemical reactivity towards oxidant species. We report here the oxidation of 1-N
2-etheno-2′-deoxyguanosine (1,N
2-εdGuo) by singlet molecular oxygen (1O2) generated by a non-ionic water-soluble endoperoxide [N,N′-di(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-1,4-naphthalenedipropanamide endoperoxide (DHPNO2)] and its corresponding oxygen isotopically labeled [18O]-[N,N′-di(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-1,4- naphthalenedipropanamide endoperoxide (DHPN18O2)], and by photosensitization with two different photosensitizers [methylene blue (MB) and Rose Bengal (RB)]. Products detection and characterization were achieved using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to ultraviolet and electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses. We found that dGuo is regenerated via reaction of 1O2 with the ε-linkage, and we propose a dioxetane as an intermediate, which cleaves and loses the aldehyde groups as formate residues, or alternatively, it generates a 1,2-ethanediol adduct. We also report herein the quenching rate constants of 1O2 by 1,N
2-εdGuo and other etheno modified nucleosides. The rate constant (kt
) values obtained for etheno nucleosides are comparable to the kt
of dGuo. From these results, we suggest a possible role of 1O2 in the cleanup of etheno adducts by regenerating the normal base.

A case study on displacement analysis of Vasa warship
Authors: Eshagh Mehdi , Johansson Filippa , Karlsson Lenita , Horemuz Milan 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Monitoring deformation of man-made structures is very important to prevent them from a risk of collapse and save lives. Such a process is also used for monitoring change in historical objects, which are deforming continuously with time. An example of this is the Vasa warship, which was under water for about 300 years. The ship was raised from the bottom of the sea and is kept in the Vasa museum in Stockholm. A geodetic network with points on the museum building and the ship’s body has been established and measured for 12 years for monitoring the ship’s deformation. The coordinate time series of each point on the ship and their uncertainties have been estimated epoch-wisely. In this paper, our goal is to statistically analyse the ship’s hull movements. By fitting a quadratic polynomial to the coordinate time series of each point of the hull, its acceleration and velocity are estimated. In addition, their significance is tested by comparing them with their respective estimated errors after the fitting. Our numerical investigations show that the backside of the ship, having highest elevation and slope, has moved vertically faster than the other places by a velocity and an acceleration of about 2 mm/year and 0.1 mm/year2, respectively and this part of the ship is the weakest with a higher risk of collapse. The central parts of the ship are more stable as the ship hull is almost vertical and closer to the floor. Generally, the hull is moving towards its port and downwards
Biologically inspired computational modeling of motion based on middle temporal area
Authors: Faria Fernanda da C. e C. , Batista Jorge , Araújo Helder 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
This paper describes a bio-inspired algorithm for motion computation based on V1 (Primary Visual Cortex) andMT (Middle Temporal Area) cells. The behavior of neurons in V1 and MT areas contain significant information to understand the perception of motion. From a computational perspective, the neurons are treated as two dimensional filters to represent the receptive fields of simple cells that compose the complex cells. A modified elaborated Reichardt detector, adding an output exponent before the last stage followed by a re-entry stage of modulating feedback from MT, (reciprocal connections of V1 and MT) in a hierarchical framework, is proposed. The endstopped units, where the receptive fields of cells are surrounded by suppressive regions, are modeled as a divisive operation. MT cells play an important role for integrating and interpreting inputs from earlier-level (V1).We fit a normalization and a pooling to find the most active neurons for motion detection. All steps employed are physiologically inspired processing schemes and need some degree of simplification and abstraction. The results suggest that our proposed algorithm can achieve better performance than recent state-of-the-art bio-inspired approaches for real world images.
Borges, Pierre Menard, rhizomaticity, and the simulation of palimpsestic writing
Authors: De Toro Fernando 
Published: April 2018

AbstractPierre Menard, Author of Don Quixote shares with Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius several central aspects in the construction of the text, fundamentally the doubling of writing: that of Borges and Pierre Menard, where both simulate to tell story that it never gets told; and the creation of a world that is generated from pure discursivity.The text is divided in two sections, as indicated by Borges himself: one is the visible work of Pierre Menard, and the other is inconclusive work (1962 [1956]: 48–55). The first part is a catalogue of Menard’s library and the second letters by Menard addressed to Borges. In what follows we will analyze the gesture of inscribing writing.

Research on Integrated Control Method of Tiltrotor with Variable Rotor Speed Based on Two-Speed Gearbox
Authors: Wang Yong , Zheng Qiangang , Zhang Haibo , Xu Zhigui 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The process of rotor speed variation under tiltrotor cruise state has been studied, and the integrated variable speed control method of tiltrotor based on two-speed gearbox is proposed. Firstly, a nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) based on state variable model of the component-level model of the turboshaft engine is designed. Then based on the integrated engine model, the two-speed dual path tiltrotor driveline comprehensive simulation model was developed by utilizing gear kinematics theory, blade element analysis and the theory of classical mechanics. Finally, both a Parallel Shift Control (PSC) strategy and a Sequential Shift Control (SSC) strategy in tiltrotor cruise state were analyzed and compared with conventional PID controller. It is shown that the rotors’ speed can synchronously vary by 50 percent under the PSC strategy in tiltrotor cruise state. Meanwhile, disengaging the engine in turn by freewheel clutches can reduce the rotors’ speed from 190 rpm to 102.5 rpm along the specified path under the SSC strategy. The overshoot and droop amount of the power turbine speed can be reduced to less than 1.5 % with the steady error no more than 0.2 % through NMPC, which realizes the fast response control of the turboshaft engine.
Shear-Property-Based Design Approach of Asphalt Mixture in Long and Steep Sections—Taking Togo No. 1 Highway as a Case
Authors: Wu Bangwei , Li Xiuxin , Liu Liping , Sun Lijun 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
The asphalt pavement in long and steep slope sections is more prone to serious rutting distress than that in common slope sections. Therefore, it should be designed with more consideration of anti-rutting property. Since anti-rutting property of hot-mixed asphalt mixture (HMA) is closely related to its shear property, the objective of this study was, relying on the No. 1 Highway reconstructive project in Togo, to propose a design approach to asphalt mixture in long and steep slope sections based on shear property. In this article, a rutting prediction model developed by Tongji University was used to quantify the critical shear strength of asphalt mixture. First, this model was calibrated using field survey data of the existing road, making the model suitable for the Togo No. 1 Highway reconstructive project. Then, the critical shear strength of asphalt mixture was given according to the allowable rutting depth and the calibrated model. Last, four asphalt mixtures with different gradations of AC13-1, AC13-2, Sup13-1, and Sup13-2 were designed using local raw materials, the shear property of which was determined with the uniaxial penetration test (UPT) and the Wheel Track Test. Finally, Sup13-2 was chosen as the optimum gradation for the No.1 Highway reconstructive project with respect to shear property, and its other engineering properties were determined. The concluded design procedure of shear-property-based design approach was given at the end of this article.
