Dynamics of a Predator–Prey Model with Holling Type II Functional Response Incorporating a Prey Refuge Depending on Both the Species
Authors: Molla Hafizul , Sabiar Rahman Md. , Sarwardi Sahabuddin 
Published: November 2018

AbstractWe propose a mathematical model for prey–predator interactions allowing prey refuge. A prey–predator model is considered in the present investigation with the inclusion of Holling type-II response function incorporating a prey refuge depending on both prey and predator species. We have analyzed the system for different interesting dynamical behaviors, such as, persistent, permanent, uniform boundedness, existence, feasibility of equilibria and their stability. The ranges of the significant parameters under which the system admits a Hopf bifurcation are investigated. The system exhibits Hopf-bifurcation around the unique interior equilibrium point of the system. The explicit formula for determining the stability, direction and periodicity of bifurcating periodic solutions are also derived with the use of both the normal form and the center manifold theory. The theoretical findings of this study are substantially validated by enough numerical simulations. The ecological implications of the obtained results are discussed as well.
Vulgar Latin as an emergent concept in the Italian Renaissance (1435–1601): its ancient and medieval prehistory and its emergence and development in Renaissance linguistic thought
Authors: Eskhult Josef 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThis article explores the formation of Vulgar Latin as a metalinguistic concept in the Italian Renaissance (1435–1601) considering its continued, although criticized, use as a concept and term in modern Romance and Latin linguistics (1826 until the present). The choice of this topic is justified in view of the divergent previous modern historiography and because of the lack of a coherent historical investigation. The present study is based on a broad selection of primary sources, in particular from classical antiquity and the Italian Renaissance.Firstly, this article traces and clarifies the prehistory of the concept of Vulgar Latin in ancient and medieval linguistic thought. Section 2 demonstrates that the concept of Vulgar Latin as a low social variety does not exist in pre-Renaissance linguistic thought.Secondly, this article describes and analyzes how, why and when the concept of Vulgar Latin emerged and developed in the linguistic thought of the Italian Renaissance. Section 3 surveys the historical intellectual contexts of the debates in which this concept was formed, namelyquestione della linguain the Latin and Vernacular Italian Renaissances. Section 4 demonstrates how the ancient concept and term ofsermo vulgarisas a diaphasic variety was revived, but also modified, in the Latin Renaissance of the fifteenth century, when the leading humanists developed new ideas on the history, nature and variability of ancient Latin. Section 5 demonstrates how a diglossic concept of Vulgar Latin was formed in the vernacular Italian Renaissance of the sixteenth century, when Italian philologists more carefully approached the topic of the historical origin and emergence of Italian.Thirdly, Section 6 presents a synthesis of the historiographical results that are attained and revises modern historiography on some important points.
On Cicero’s fine-grained perception of the prosodic features in Latin
Authors: Marotta Giovanna 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThe long tradition of philology and comparative linguistics acknowledges the distinctive value of vowel length in Latin phonology. However, to think of Latin as a spoken language, and not only as a literary one, implies the adoption of a sociolinguistic perspective based on the idea of variation, at all levels of grammar. In this view, with due caution, it is possible to argue that vowel length was unstableab antiquoin spoken Latin, at least in the low diaphasic and diastratic levels. In this view, the paper analyzes some passages by Cicero often interpreted as testimonies in favor of the maintenance of contrastive vowel length in the phonological competence of Roman speakers. In those passages, Cicero compares the performance of the orators in theforumto the one of the actors in the theater. This comparison is based on the idea that the competence in the phonetic and prosodic elements of language could determine the success of the locutory act in both communicative contexts. The detailed analysis of the texts suggests that the whistles of the audience in the theater of which Cicero speaks to us might refer to prosodic errors concerning the length of the verse rather than that of the vowel. Therefore, those testimonies could not be considered an evidence in favor of the fine-grained perception of vowel length by all the speakers of Latin.
Copular clause classification in Latin
Authors: Bortolussi Bernard 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Starting from Higgins’s taxonomy, this paper investigates Latin copular constructions and in particular the existence of “specificational” copular clauses. Morphosyntactic and semantic criteria are put forward in order to make clear the status of copular clauses such as Hic est danista (Plaut. Epid. 621).
Quintilian, Inst. 1, 5, 40 on solecism and Apollonius Dyscolus
Authors: Callipo Manuela 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Throughout the history of the Latin grammatical tradition barbarism is regularly described according to the system of the four categories of change known as quadripertita ratio, whereas the description of solecism is more controversial. In the grammatical chapters of his first book, Quintilian attests to the application of the fourfold system to solecism in his age, but he also knows a second tradition, which ends up becoming the predominant theory in Latin grammar and regards solecism as the fault by substitution (inmutatio). Quintilian attributes this tradition to some anonymous grammarians (quidam) who have not been identified yet. After considering Quintilian’s testimony in light of the Greek sources and especially Apollonius Dyscolus’ Syntax, we have concluded that Quintilian and Apollonius may rely on a common source, probably of Alexandrine descent, which separated solecism from the first three categories of change of the fourfold system (addition, subtraction and inversion of the regular word order).
Some remarks on the infinitivus indignantis. Is this label necessary?
Authors: Cuzzolin Pierluigi 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The present paper focusses on the issue of the terminological labels used in grammatical descriptions and to what extent they are necessary. The label discussed here is the so-called infinitivus indignantis, mainly employed to express emotions like surprise, disdain, indignation. To this construction handbooks and grammars generally devote just a few lines. In this paper it will be shown that the syntactic features associated with this pattern occur with other similar constructions and are not exclusive thereof. The question is raised whether this pattern could be analyzed and subsumed under the category of mirativity. At the end of the analysis of this type of infinitive, it is claimed that infinitivus indignantis is not a necessary label.
On the use of facio as support verb in late and Merovingian Latin
Authors: Galdi Giovanbattista 
Published: November 2018

AbstractSupport verb constructions are documented throughout the history of Latin as well as other (typologically also irrelated) languages. As shown in several studies, such constructions are characterized by the presence of a support verb exhibiting a more or less reduced semantic force, and a predicative (abstract or verbal) noun that often constitutes its direct object. The present contribution deals, specifically, with the use offacioas support verb (as inbellum facere, iter facere, insidias facere, etc.), focussing on the post-classical and late period. In particular, three questions shall be investigated: (i) whether, and if yes, howfacioincreases its popularity in later centuries both in non-Christian and Christian sources; (ii) how is the spread of use offacio-support verb constructions in theMulomedicina Chironisand in theItinerarium Egeriaeto be accounted for; (iii) what type of semantic evolution does the verb undergo in later Latin and whether, in this respect, continuity or rupture should be assumed with regard to the archaic and classical periods. This last point will enable us to suggest a more convincing explanation for an often-quoted passage of Cicero (Phil. 3,22), in which the constructioncontumeliam facereoccurs.
Reading Latin and the need for empirical research: A psycholinguistic approach to reading comprehension in Latin
Authors: Bextermöller Delaram 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThe idea of reading Latin has been addressed by different teaching methods and theoretical approaches, but it has not been until recently that the reading process in Latin has become an object of empirical investigation. While qualitative research methods can examine the strategies consciously used by learners, experimental studies provide insight into the mental processes during reading. In psycholinguistics, the study of sentence processing forms an important strand of research which is also concerned with non-native processing. The present article discusses how psycholinguistic methodology can be used to investigate how Latin sentences are processed by learners.
Latin students’ bottom-up and top-down strategies for reading Latin literature and the impact of cross-linguistic influence
Authors: Boyd Rebecca M. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractIn an attempt to apply modern foreign language research and theory to the instruction of classical languages, this article describes the qualitative phase of a research study (Boyd, R. M. 2016.High school students’ comprehension strategies for reading Latin literature. Washington, D.C.: George Washington University doctoral dissertation.) on Latin reading comprehension strategies. First, there is a discussion of the linguistic factors that affect native English language readers of Latin, including cross-linguistic influence and negative syntactic transfer. Second, there is a review of the relevant literature on second language reading comprehension strategies, derived from empirically-tested reading strategies reported in modern second language research journals and described anecdotally in classics journals. Finally, there is a thorough description of the semi-structured interview that was conducted with twelve high school students to gather the Latin reading strategies they used during an authentic classroom reading comprehension assessment. Results showed that Latin students overall demonstrated a preference for bottom-up strategies when reading Latin, with limited transfer of top-down strategies due to insufficient Latin language proficiency. Students imposed English language patterns onto Latin texts, and negative English syntactic transfer hindered Latin reading comprehension.
How do Dutch adolescents translate Latin into coherent Dutch? A Journey into the Unknown
Authors: Luger Suzanne 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
This article discusses translation processes of proficient students who translate Latin fables into Dutch in secondary school. The participants performed two tasks on a computer. They translated a Latin fable and edited a Dutch translation of another Latin fable while their activities were monitored by eye-tracker, screencast and keystroke logging. Immediately after the tasks the participants were invited to view their eye-tracking film and retrace their thoughts at the time of translating (stimulated recall). The article focuses on the stimulated recall interviews, and more specifically on the role of revision in the translation process. It presents a case study of one participant, as well as the strategies participants described to have used in tackling two specific translation problems.
Data suggest that proficient participants rely on text comprehension rather than morphological knowledge to solve translation problems. The research shows three key elements as indicators for successful translation process resulting in a coherent target text: (1) a wide variety of problem-solving strategies and the ability to switch strategies, (2) the availability and use of metalanguage to verbalise the chosen strategy, and (3) revision of the target text.
Coupling configurations between extended surface electromagnetic waves and localized surface plasmons for ultrahigh field enhancement
Authors: Abdulhalim Ibrahim 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Local enhancement of electromagnetic (EM) fields near dielectric and metallic surfaces is usually associated with the existence of a confined EM wave at least in one direction. This phenomenon finds applications in enhancing optical spectroscopic signals, optical emission, nonlinear optical processes, biosensing, imaging contrast and superresolution, photovoltaics response, local heating, photocatalysis, and enhanced efficiency of optoelectronic devices. A well-known example is when the surface electromagnetic wave (SEW) is excited at the interface of two media, the field gets enhanced normally to that interface. This article reviews the different configurations revealing enhanced EM fields, particularly those giving ultrahigh enhancement, such as when a localized SEW is excited not from free space but via an extended SEW. Of particular interest are surface plasmon waves (SPWs) excited at the surface of metal-dielectric and particularly when exciting localized SPWs using extended ones. The latter case so far gave the highest local field enhancement; however, configurations involving Bloch SEWs, guided mode resonances, and cavity resonances have also been shown to give significant enhancement when used to excite localized surface plasmons. With this strategy, field enhancement by more than an order of magnitude can be attained. Using this ultrahigh enhancement, the strong coupling experiments between molecules and the intense optical field will be possible and new devices may emerge from those new methodologies for ultrahigh sensitive sensing for environmental and medical applications, as well as for improved optoelectronic devices.
Electroluminescence and photo-response of inorganic halide perovskite bi-functional diodes
Authors: Li Ning , Lau Ying Suet , Miao Yanqin , Zhu Furong 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
In this work, we report our efforts to develop a novel inorganic halide perovskite-based bi-functional light-emitting and photo-detecting diode. The bi-functional diode is capable of emitting a uniform green light, with a peak wavelength of 520 nm, at a forward bias of >2 V, achieving a high luminance of >103 cd/m2 at 7 V. It becomes an efficient photodetector when the bi-functional diode is operated at a reverse bias, exhibiting sensitivity over a broadband wavelength range from ultraviolet to visible light. The bi-functional diode possesses very fast transient electroluminescence (EL) and photo-response characteristics, e.g. with a short EL rising time of ~6 μS and a photo-response time of ~150 μS. In addition, the bi-functional diode also is sensitive to 520 nm, the wavelength of its peak EL emission. The ability of the bi-functional diodes for application in high speed visible light communication was analyzed and demonstrated using two identical bi-functional diodes, one performed as the signal generator and the other acted as a signal receiver. The dual functions of light emission and light detection capability, enabled by bi-functional diodes, are very attractive for different applications in under water communication and visible light telecommunications.
Plasmonic particle-on-film nanocavities: a versatile platform for plasmon-enhanced spectroscopy and photochemistry
Authors: Li Guang-Can , Zhang Qiang , Maier Stefan A. , Lei Dangyuan 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Metallic nanostructures with nanometer gaps support hybrid plasmonic modes with an extremely small mode volume and strong local field intensity, which constitutes an attractive plasmonic platform for exploring novel light-matter interaction phenomena at the nanoscale. Particularly, the plasmonic nanocavity formed by a metal nanoparticle closely separated from a thin metal film has received intensive attention in the nanophotonics community, largely attributed to its ease of fabrication, tunable optical properties over a wide spectral range, and the ultrastrong confinement of light at the small gap region scaled down to sub-nanometer. In this article, we review the recent exciting progress in exploring the plasmonic properties of such metal particle-on-film nanocavities (MPoFNs), as well as their fascinating applications in the area of plasmon-enhanced imaging and spectroscopies. We focus our discussion on the experimental fabrication and optical characterization of MPoFNs and the theoretical interpretation of their hybridized plasmon modes, with particular interest on the nanocavity-enhanced photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopies, as well as photocatalysis and molecular nanochemistry.

Published: November 2018

AbstractBackgroundPressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a drug-delivery method for patients with peritoneal metastasis (PM). The study objective was to investigate whether PIPAC is possible in an outpatient setting.MethodsData was extracted from the prospective PIPAC-OPC2 study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03287375). Patients with PM were treated by cisplatin and doxorubicin (PIPAC C/D), except patients with colorectal PM, who were treated by oxaliplatin (PIPAC OX). Patients were evaluated concerning the suitability for carrying out the PIPAC procedure in an out- patient setting. The preconditions for outpatient surgery were that the patient should be (1) freely mobilized, (2) adequately pain-relieved, (3) have untroubled urination and (4) without anxiety or discomfort caused by leaving the hospital.ResultsDuring the study period, 106 PIPAC procedures (79 PIPAC C/D, 27 PIPAC OX) were performed in 41 patients with gastrointestinal or ovarian PM. Ninety percent (37/41) of the patients were pretreated with systemic chemotherapy. Eight patients (20%) received bidirectional chemotherapy. Twenty-four percent (10/41) of the first PIPAC procedures were completed in an outpatient setting, which increased to 65% (13/20) in PIPAC no 3 (p=0.008). In the PIPAC C/D cohort, 28% and 80% of the PIPACs were performed in the outpatient setting at PIPAC 1 and 3 respectively, contrasting to only 11% and 20% in the PIPAC OX group. No readmissions after outpatient care. Postoperative morphine administration was more frequent in the PIPAC OX group.ConclusionsThe PIPAC procedure can be performed in an outpatient setting. The critical component for success is pain control.
Latinas for Trump Analysis of Processes of Identification and the Use of Narratives to Construct Subject-Positions
Authors: Zambrano Mayela 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The public and commercial spheres constantly address the largest ethnic minority in the United States, people with ancestry or from a Latin American country, as a homogenous group under the ethnopolitical terms “Latinos,” “Hispanics,” and even “Mexicans.” This panethnic view, and the negative stereotypes associated with it, was especially visible during the 2016 presidential election. While the majority of Latinos found Donald Trump’s remarks on “Mexicans” offensive to the Latin community as a whole, a large number of people still supported his opinions, even those belonging to the “Latino” community. Even more so, women of Latino heritage still supported a nominee that went against their own advance in society given his constant misogynistic comments. In this essay, I analyze the groundings for this apparent contradiction in the preference for said candidate. I argue that these women’s political preference is a tool with which they build their identity in the U.S. Besides, I explore the ways in which individuals linguistically construct their own identity in three ways (i) by actively doing the identification instead of merely receiving it by an unknown agent; (ii) by choosing the self-representation of their preference, and (iii) by finding commonalities and bonding with other individuals they deem part of their group. Through this approach, I analyze semiotic processes, such as intertextuality, use of pronouns, and discourse alignment, that are used to construct identifications of the self that go beyond imposed categories, such as gender and ethnicity.

Günümüzde genel ekonomik durumdaki istikrarsızlık ile artan rekabet ortamı gibi dışsal faktörler işletmelerin kalite, maliyet ve zaman hedeflerini aynı anda ve en etkin şekilde gerçekleştirmelerini zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bu rekabet ortamında faaliyet gösteren tersane işletmeleri ise beklenilen kaliteden ödün vermeden gemi inşa maliyetlerini en doğru şekilde hesaplayıp, siparişlerini zamanında teslim ederek varlığını devam ettirmeye çalışmaktadır. Gemi inşa maliyetlerinin hesaplanmasında doğru maliyet bilgisine ulaşabilmek için modern maliyet hesaplama yöntemleri kullanılabilmektedir. Bu yöntemlerden biri olan Sürece Dayalı Faaliyet Tabanlı Maliyetleme yöntemi, geleneksel Faaliyet Tabanlı Maliyetleme (FTM) yöntemine bir alternatif olarak geliştirilen ve FTM sisteminde meydana gelen problemleri çözme konusunda başarılı olan yeni bir yaklaşımdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, gemi inşa proje maliyetlerinin hesaplanmasında Genel Üretim Giderlerinin ürünlere dağıtımında Sürece Dayalı FTM yönteminin uygulanabilirliğini araştırmaktır. Bu kapsamda çalışmada, daha önce FTM yöntemi ile hesaplanmış olan gemi inşa proje maliyetleri, Sürece Dayalı FTM yöntemi ile yeniden hesaplanarak her iki yöntemde Genel Üretim Giderlerinin ürünlere dağıtım sonuçlarının karşılaştırılması yapılmıştır. Sürece Dayalı FTM yönteminin uygulanması ile atıl kapasite maliyetlerinin gemi inşa proje maliyetlerine dahil edilmeyerek daha doğru ve gerçekçi maliyetlerin hesaplanabileceği ortaya konulmuştur.
