Processing latencies of competing forms in analogical levelling as evidence of frequency effects on entrenchment in ongoing language change
Authors: Krause-Lerche Anne 
Published: February 2019

AbstractThe reason which is generally given in the usage-based literature to account for the retention of irregularity in high frequency items during analogical change isentrenchment: a frequently occurring irregular linguistic unit resists analogical levelling because it is highly entrenched in speakers’ mental lexicons through its repeated use. Although previous research similarly suggests that the entrenchment of irregular and regularised forms competing during analogical levelling should be proportional to their frequency of use, evidence for this relation between frequency and entrenchment comes exclusively from corpus-based studies; what is missing, therefore, are behavioural tests contrasting the competing innovative and conservative forms. The present paper aims to provide converging evidence for an entrenchment-based explanation of frequency patterns in analogical change on the basis of data obtained from an experiment in which participants are presented with traditional and analogical variants of a variable currently undergoing analogical levelling. Differences in processing latencies obtained during the experiment are interpreted as differences in entrenchment. The results provide i) evidence in favour of the prevalent entrenchment-based explanation of the conserving effect of frequency in analogical change, and ii) evidence of the current state and spread of the change under investigation.

Abstract
The ordered mesoporous Mg- and Ni-Mg-alumina samples of general formula xwt%Mg-Al2O3 and ywt%Nixwt% Mg-Al2O3(x, y = 5, 10 % wt) have been prepared by the one-pot evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) method using Pluronic P123 as a template. The textural and structural properties of the prepared samples have been characterized by N2adsorption-desorption analysis, BET, XRD, TEM with EDX, HAADF-STEM, and H2-TPR. The samples calcined at 700°C had an ordered mesoporous structure with a SSA of 170-250 m2/g, a pore volume of 0.5-0.64 cm3/g and a narrow distribution of the pore size (mean 12-16 nm). For the catalysts prepared by the one-pot EISA method, the size of the metal Ni particles was in the range of 3-12 nm and was conditioned by their confinement in the mesopores and the interaction with MgO and Al2O3. Testing in methane dry reforming in the 15v.% CH4+ 15v.%CO2feed, with He balance, at 650-750°C and the contact time of 0.015 s has shown the higher activity and stability of the ordered mesoporous 10w%Ni- 10w%Mg-Al2O3catalysts prepared by the one-pot method as compared with the catalyst of the same composition obtained by impregnation.

Abstract
This paper studies the problem of data access at the receiver with large bit error rate and low quality factor. Due to this issue the information got inaccurately at the receiver side, the data should have high quality factor and low bit error rate to be simple of identification at the receiver when using the gates. The nonlinear properties of the semiconductor optical amplifier are utilized to accomplish the Boolean variable based math work, in which AND, NAND, and OR gates potentially used to endorse the Boolean function. Through blend this gates together any Boolean function can be accomplished and utilized to perform optical signal processing. The quality factor and BER are measured by utilizing the eye diagram analyzer, the state of the output bit and also shaped by the oscilloscope visualizer in optiwave simulation program. These models can be used for wavelength converter, header recognition, parity checking, binary addition, packet-header modification, encoding and encryption with pattern matching, and data encryption with high speed and high quality factor.

Published: February 2019

Abstract
In this work, the properties of carbon nanofiber (CNF)-reinforced cement composites, including the microstructure and high-toughness performance, were investigated. The aqueous dispersing method was used along with a common surfactant and ultrasonic processing in order to obtain homogenous distributed CNF suspensions. The weight fractions of incorporated CNFs in the cement matrix were set to be 0, 0.5, 0.075, 0.1, 0.125, and 0.15 %. A high-toughness performance test, nanoindentation process, and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the reinforcement of CNFs in cement composites. Compared with the plain specimen, the addition of CNFs can improve the toughness performance, Young’s modulus, hardness, and microstructure of cement composites. The 0.1 % weight fraction of CNFs obtained the maximum reinforcement among all the tested specimens. The embedded CNFs acted as bridges and networks across the voids and cracks in the matrix, which guaranteed the load transfer in tension. It is noted that the load transfer can be enhanced by embedding CNFs as bridges and networks across the voids and cracks in the composite matrix.

Published: February 2019

Abstract
In this work, a miniature tensile specimen with nominal dimensions of 3.0-mm gage length (GL), 1.5-mm gage width, and 0.5-mm thickness that was carved out of a 10.0-mm-diameter disk has been developed and standardized using analytical and experimental methods. The geometry of the miniature specimen, called ultra sub-size (USS), was optimized using finite element analysis to determine the fillet radius and appropriate geometrical tolerances for specimen dimensions like gage width and thickness. The methods of specimen preparation, gripping, and tensile testing with the use of digital image correlation for strain measurement were standardized. The 0.2 % offset yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and uniform strain of different materials obtained using this specimen geometry were analyzed and compared with the results of ASTM sub-size (GL: 25 mm) and further sub-size geometry (GL: 12.5 mm). The results of this study show that USS tensile specimen geometry developed in this work can be reliably employed for mechanical property evaluation in situations where tensile testing using standard-size specimens is practically not possible.
Effect of Tool Pin Profile on Microstructure and Hardness of Magnesium Alloy Zk60/SiCp Surface Composites Fabricated by Friction Stir Processing

Published: February 2019

Abstract
The combination of stiffness, good castability, high specific strength, and low density makes magnesium alloys ideal materials, particularly in lightweight structural applications. The two major drawbacks of magnesium alloys are poor friction and wear resistance, because they restrict the structural applications. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the tribological properties of magnesium alloys without creating many adverse effects on the properties of the base metal by using surface engineering. In order to achieve a sound fabrication of surface metal matrix composites on the magnesium plate, friction stir processing (FSP) often serves as a good candidate. However, the process parameters should be suitably selected to fabricate a sound FSP zone. Tool pin profile is a major significant process parameter, particularly in FSP, as it plays major part in the formation of a processed region with a uniform distribution of reinforcement particles. In this study, an attempt was made to understand the major effects of tool pin profiles, namely, cylindrical thread, plain cylindrical, plain tapered cylindrical (PTC), and square on the microstructure characteristics and particle distribution of FSP ZK60/Silicon Carbide particle (SiCp) surface composites. Of the four pin profiles, surface composites fabricated by means of PTC pin profile resulted in a defect-free and higher hardness processed zone. This was attributed to the higher shear force offered by the PTC pin profile, which aids proper material flow with evenly distributed particles.

Published: February 2019

Abstract
The nanoscaled properties including morphology and mechanics of recovered asphalt binders from open-graded friction course (OGFC) asphalt mixtures weathered in a laboratory were measured by atomic force microscopy. In addition, specific functional groups and molecular size distributions of the recovered binders were tested by Fourier infrared spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC), respectively. The OGFC mixtures were weathered in an accelerated weathering machine for various durations of 0, 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 h. The results showed that (1) as the weathering degree increased, the root mean square of morphology increased, and both the number of the “bee-structures” and the adhesion decreased; (2) as the weathering degree increased, the carbonyl and sulfoxide indexes increased, whereas the butadiene-based index decreased; and (3) the large molecular size groups from GPC tests increased, whereas the small molecular size groups decreased, as the weathering time increased. The changes of the molecular size groups had fairly good linear correlations with the weathering time.

Background. At the present time, the problem of choice of eye drops to achieve adequate mydriasis with minimal side effects for retinopathy of prematurity screening remains an urgent challenge.
Purpose. To estimate the clinical efficacy of combination mydriatic eye drops Fenicamide in infants born at different gestation terms.
Materials and methods. Under observation, there were 75 newborns (150 eyes) and babies aged from 1 day to 3 months (average, 38.2 32.2 days). Patients were distributed into 3 groups depending on gestational age: group 1 consisted of 25 full-term infants; group 2 of 25 premature babies, and group 3 of 25 extremely preterm infants. To achieve mydriasis, 1 drop of combination eye drops (5% phenylephrine and 0.8% tropicamide) was instilled. Dynamics of pupil diameter change in each group of patients was registered within 4 hours, and side effects were recorded within 24 hours. The quality of fundus visualization was estimated using a pediatric retinal camera RetCam 3.
Results. Maximal pupil dilation (average, 6.5 0.5 mm) was reached to 60 14 min after instillation on average; pupil remained dilated within 1 hour, its diameter became normal in 4 hours. Mydriasis varied from 5.9 mm in extremely premature infants to 7 mm in the full-term newborns (p 0.05), and allowed a full and high quality examination of the fundus in all patients, including the visualization of peripheral zones of the retina for retinopathy of prematurity screening. It was established that drug side effects were absent in 76% (57) of infants, they were present in 24% (18) of infants, mostly as local reaction.
Conclusion. Fenicamide eye drops are an effective mydriatic medication, with a convenient instillation regimen, have minimal side effects, and can be recommended for retinopathy of prematurity screening and monitoring.

A ciência tem demonstrado que a vida no planeta Terra teve seu início na água e esta se constitui a molécula predominante nos organismos vivos. É impossível conceber alguma forma de vida, em sociedade, que dispense a utilização da água. Neste artigo é retratada a importância da água e as ações de educação ambiental na preservação do Ribeirão da Penha, principal curso de água que corta o perímetro urbano do Município de Itapira-SP e de onde provém a água que o abastece. A reconstituição das matas ciliares e o repovoamento de espécies de peixes nativos de uma bacia hidrografia se constituem formas ativas de preservação dos cursos de água, sendo necessário que haja uma administração racional deste recurso, que não vise apenas o aumento da oferta de água com altos investimentos, mas uma preocupação em conservar, preservar e reaproveitar a água que se tem disponível, sendo a educação ambiental um método eficaz neste sentido.
