Authors: Mussabayev Rustam Rafikovich , Kalimoldayev Maksat N. , Amirgaliyev Yedilkhan N. , Mussabayev Timur R. 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
This work considers one of the approaches to
the solution of the task of discrete speech signal automatic
segmentation. The aim of this work is to construct such an
algorithm which should meet the following requirements:
segmentation of a signal into acoustically homogeneous
segments, high accuracy and segmentation speed, unambiguity
and reproducibility of segmentation results, lack
of necessity of preliminary training with the use of a special
set consisting of manually segmented signals. Development
of the algorithm which corresponds to the given
requirements was conditioned by the necessity of formation
of automatically segmented speech databases that
have a large volume. One of the new approaches to the
solution of this task is viewed in this article. For this purpose
we use the new type of informative features named
TAC-coefficients (Throat-Acoustic Correlation coefficients)
which provide sufficient segmentation accuracy and effi-
ciency.
Random-walk mobility analysis of Lisbon’s plans
for the post-1755 reconstruction
Authors: de Sampayo Mafalda Teixeira , Sousa-Rodrigues David 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The different options for the reconstruction of
the city of Lisbon in the aftermath of the 1755 earthquake
are studied with an agent-based model based on randomwalks.
This method gives a comparative quantitative measure
of mobility of the circulation spaces within the city.
The plans proposed for the city of Lisbon signified a departure
from the medieval mobility city model. The intricacy
of the old city circulation spaces is greatly reduced
in the new plans and the mobility between different areas
is substantially improved. The simulation results of the
random–walk model show that those plans keeping the
main force lines of the old city presented less improvement
in terms ofmobility. The plans that had greater design freedom
were, by contrast, easier to navigate. Lisbon’s reconstruction
followed a plan that included a shift in the traditional
notions of mobility. This affected the daily lives
of its citizens by potentiating an easy access to the waterfront,
simplifying orientation and navigability. Using the
random-walk model it is shown how to quantitatively measure
the potential that synthetic plans have in terms of
the permeability and navigability of different city public
spaces.
Texture recognition by the methods of topological
data analysis
Authors: Makarenko Nikolay , Kalimoldayev Maksat , Pak Ivan , Yessenaliyeva Ainur 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
High spatial resolution satellite images are different
from Gaussian statistics of counts. Therefore, texture
recognition methods based on variances become ineffective.
The aim of this paper is to study possibilities
of completely different, topological approach to problems
of structures classification. Persistent Betti numbers are
signs of texture recognition. They are not associated with
metrics and received directly fromdata in form of so-called
persistence diagram (PD). The different structures built on
PD are used to get convenient numerical statistics. At the
present time, three of such objects are known: topological
landscapes, persistent images and rank functions. They
have been introduced recently and appeared as an attempt
to vectorize PD. Typically, each of the proposed structures
was illustrated by the authors with simple examples.However,
the practical application of these approaches to large
data sets requires to evaluate their efficiency within the
frame of the selected task at the same standard database.
In our case, such a task is to recognize different textures
of the Remote Sensing Data (RSD). We check efficiency of
structure, called persistent images in this work. We calculate
PD for base containing 800 images of high resolution
representing 20 texture classes. We have found out
that average efficiency of separate image recognition in the
classes is 84%, and in 11 classes, it is not less than 90%. By
comparison topological landscapes provide 68% for average
efficiency, and only 3 classes of not less than 90%.
Reached conclusions are of interest for new methods of
texture recognition in RSD.
Automatic extraction of corollaries from semantic
structure of text
Authors: Nurtazin Abyz T. , Khisamiev Zarif G. 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The aim of this study is to develop an algorithm
for automatic representation of the text of natural language
as a formal system for the subsequent automatic extraction
as reasonable answers to profound questions in
the context of the text, and the deep logical consequences
of the text and related areas of knowledge to which the
text refers. The most universal method of constructing algorithms
of automatic treatment of text for a particular
purpose is a representation of knowledge in the form of
a graph expressing the semantic values of the text. The
paper presents an algorithm of automatic presentation of
text and its associated knowledge as a formal logic programming
theory for sufficiently strict texts, such as legal
texts. This representation is a semantic-syntactic as
the causal-investigatory relationships between the various
parts are both logical and semantic. This representation of
the text allows to resolve the issues of causal-investigatory
relationships of present concepts, as methods of the theory
and practice of logic programming and methods of
model theory as well. In particular, these means of classical
branches of mathematics can be used to address
such issues as the definition and determination of consequences
and questions of consistency of the theory.

Some properties of asymmetric Hopfield neural
networks with finite time of transition between
states
Authors: Suleimenov Ibragim , Mun Grigoriy , Panchenko Sergey , Pak Ivan 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
There were implemented samples of asymmetric
Hopfield neural networks which have finite time of transition
from one state to another. It was shown that in such
systems, various oscillation modes could occur. It was revealed
that the oscillation of the output signal of certain
neuron could be treated as extra logical variable, which
describes the state of the neuron. Asymmetric Hopfield
neural networks are described in terms of ternary logic.
Such logic may be employed in image recognition procedure.
Georgia marble at the Minnesota State Capitol
The Effects of Mineralogy and Climate on
Durability
Authors: Whitenack Paul , Shotwell L. Brad , Scheffler Michael J. 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Based on visual observations and tests made
of Georgia marble units that have been in service at the
historic Minnesota State Capitol for 110 years, a fielddiscernible
correlation exists between marble unit mineralogical
composition and unit weathering performance.
Field studies noted over the course of a five-year restoration
project of the capitol exterior were used to categorize
the original marble cladding into four perceptible types,
which were evaluated by field testing that suggested a
correlation between the textural and mineralogical differences
within the marble and its long-term durability.
To test this theory, field-issued repair assignments made
during an exterior marble restoration project at the capitol
were examined statistically. The nature and frequency
of assigned repairs were compared to the type of marble
from which they were originally fabricated to determine
whether a correlation existed. The results of this comparison
provided convincing statistical verification of the link
between mineralogy and durability. This hypothesis was
then verified through detailed petrographic analysis in a
laboratory setting, which determined that marble consisting
of a smaller, more interlocked grain configuration that
was more dolomitic than calcitic in its basic chemistry consistently
proved to be more durable in weathering performance
over time. The paper describes the process followed
by the authors to categorize and study the distinct varieties
of Georgia marble present on the Minnesota State Capitol,
and how this information was used to guide the restoration
process with the intent of maximizing the anticipated
service life of new marble replacements.
Physiological Factors Analysis in Unpressurized
Aircraft Cabins
Authors: Patrao Luis , Zorro Sara , Silva Jorge 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Amateur and sports flight is an activity with
growing numbers worldwide. However, the main cause of
flight incidents and accidents is increasingly pilot error, for
a number of reasons. Fatigue, sleep issues and hypoxia,
among many others, are some that can be avoided, or, at
least, mitigated. This article describes the analysis of psychological
and physiological parameters during flight in
unpressurized aircraft cabins. It relates cerebral oximetry
and heart rate with altitude, as well as with flight phase.
The study of those parameters might give clues on which
variations represent a warning sign to the pilot, thus preventing
incidents and accidents due to human factors.
Results show that both cerebral oximetry and heart rate
change along the flight and altitude in the alert pilot. The
impaired pilot might not reveal these variations and, if this
is detected, he can be warned in time.
Study of ATO nanoparticles by the solvothermal method for thermal insulated coated glass: a green energy application
Authors: Anh Trinh Xuan , Tung Duong Thanh , Nhan Do Quy , Hoang Tran Vinh , Trung Do Quang , Thu Le Dieu , Hoang Phan Huy , Cuong Nguyen Duy 
Published: November 2016

AbstractAntimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) nanoparticles (NPs) (Sb-doped content 3%, 10%, and 15%) were synthesized by the (2 l autoclave, medium-scale) solvothermal method followed by sintering at various temperatures (500°C, 800°C, 900°C and 1000°C) so they would crystallize. The particle size increased from several to tens of nanometers with the increase of sintered temperature from 500°C to 1000°C, sharply from 800°C to 1000 °C; ~30 g of final product was received for each experiment. More interestingly, the crystallinity of the as-synthesized ATO was also increased with the increasing Sb doped content from 3% to 15%. The ATO NPs were coated onto glass substrates and then sintered at 500°C, which effectively prevented transmittance of infrared (IR) wavelengths (>800 nm) with 10% wt Sb-doped content, which is useful for thermal insulated glass coating application.
Some transitive motion verbs and related lexemes in Late Luwian
Authors: Yakubovich Ilya 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
This paper discusses the meaning and etymology of several problematic Late Luwian lexemes belonging to a common semantic field and sharing the determinative 〈PES₂〉. The Late Luwian verb (PES2.PES2)paya- ‘to send’, which previously resisted etymological interpretation, is taken as a cognate of wiya- ‘send’, known through the Luwian onomastics of the Empire period. Some forms of (PES2)pazza- are explained as synonyms and cognates of Kizzuwatna Luwian pazza-di ‘to carry’, while for others the traditional interpretation ‘to pass’ can be confirmed, although this meaning is probably due to a secondary development of the same root. Among a number of interpretations that are possible for the Late Luwian verb (PES2)wa/i-za- the preference is given to the reading wazza-, translation ‘to lead’ and etymological connection with (PES)usa- ‘to lead here’. Finally, the paper addresses verbal forms that are ambiguous or likely belong to homonymous roots lying outside the semantic field under scrutiny.
The problem of the -a ending in the Hittite dative/locative
Authors: Frantíková Dita 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The allative is one of the three distinct spatial cases that Hittite is known to have used in the course of its written history, alongside the locative and the ablative. The allative ending was -a, and with the i-stems, we find the ending (-i)-ya. In some instances, it is known to have been used in dative-locative function. This feature is confirmed by the post-Old Hittite era, although the allative itself becomes moribund after the Old Hittite period. The traditional hypothesis for this syntactic peculiarity is that it is motivated phonologically: the dative-locative of the i-stems was rather “unmarked”, as the ending -i blended into the stem. This led speakers/writers to use the more overtly marked -iya even for the dative-locative, as -iya did not have any other grammatical function by that time. Whether this hypothesis can be proved or disproved by the textual evidence is the purpose of this paper. An important argument in the discussion is the fact that there are indications that this feature actually appears already in Old Hittite. The textual evidence shows that the case ending -a in its variant -iya in the i- and ai-stems is already used to mark location and beneficiary/recipient in OH/OS. It also refutes the standard view that the -iya ending spread in post-OH to disambiguate the multifunctional dative-locative singular ending -i, in those stem classes or elsewhere.
In defense of Narten roots
Authors: Keydana Götz 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
In this paper I argue that at least in Vedic, Narten roots existed. They were distinguished by lexically specified dominant accent, whereas non-Narten roots were underlyingly unaccented. Underlying lexical accent accounts for the static accent in the present tense as well as barytonesis in primary derivatives with recessively accented suffixes. The second characteristic feature of Narten roots, the lengthened grade in the strong stem of the present, is still best explained as an upgrading. This hypothesis is strengthened in a scenario where the analogy is fed by channel bias. In Vedic, the system of lexically accented roots was on the verge of collapse. This explains not only secondary thematic presents like rā́jati, but also sheds new light on forms like sā́hant- and sāhvā́ṃs-.
A partial tree of Central Iranian
Authors: Korn Agnes 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Relations within the Iranian branch of Indo-European have traditionally been modelled by a tree that is essentially composed of binary splits into sub- and sub-subbranches. The first part of this article will argue against this tree and show that it is rendered outdated by new data that have come to light from contemporary and ancient languages. The tree was also methodologically problematic from the outset, both for reasons of the isoglosses on which it is based, and for not taking into account distinctions such as shared innovations vs. shared archaisms. The second part of the paper will present an attempt at an alternative tree for Iranian by proposing a subbranch which I will call “Central Iranian”. Such a branch seems to be suggested by a set of non-trivial morphological innovations shared by Bactrian, Parthian and some neighbouring languages. The reconstruction of the nominal system of Central Iranian which will then be proposed aims to show the result one arrives at when trying to reconstruct a subbranch as strictly bottom-up as possible, i. e. using only the data from the languages under study, and avoiding profitting from Old Iranian data and from our knowledge about the proto-languages.
Twin pregnancy in women above the age of 45 years: maternal and neonatal outcomes
Authors: Avnon Tomer , Haham Alon , Many Ariel 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Childbearing age continues to rise and, with the increasing implementation of assisted reproductive technology (ART), the number of multiple pregnancies has also risen. This is a retrospective cohort study on maternal and neonatal outcomes of the twin pregnancies of 57 women aged ≥45 years compared to 114 younger women who gave birth in our institution between January 2011 and August 2015. Data were extracted from the real-time computerized database. The rates of hypertensive complications and pre-eclampsia (PE) were much higher in the study group compared to the controls (24/57 vs. 19/114, P=0.000 and 15/57 vs. 13/114, P=0.013, respectively). The respective incidence of very low birth weight (VLBW) was also significantly higher (14/114 vs. 12/228, P=0.021). Infants in the study group required four times more intubation and had a higher admission rate to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) compared to control infants (14/114 vs. 6/228 P=0.000 and 42/114 vs. 57/228, P=0.023, respectively). We conclude that women older than 45 years with twin pregnancies have higher maternal and perinatal complications with worse outcomes in comparison with younger women. When pregnancy is attempted via ART, embryo transfer of only one embryo should be considered in this age group.
Dogon adjective-numeral inversion
Authors: Heath Jeffrey 
Published: November 2016

AbstractIn several Dogon languages, the ordering of simple N-Adj-Num DPs is strict. Adjectives and numerals also differ from each other in morphology and tonosyntax. When an inversion licensor (usually a reference restrictor) is addèd, N-Adj-Num is optionally inverted to N-Num-Adj. Pronominal possessors are also subject to reordering in some of the languages. The order of two adjectives in N-Adj1-Adj2 is free, so a syntactically conditioned stem-class merger between numerals, adjectives, and pronominal possessors would account for optional inverted orderings. However, morphological and tonosyntactic processes follow inversion and are sensitive to stem-class categories, showing that inversion cannot be postsyntactic. This suggests that the relevant word-classes belong to a supercategory medial modifier that is activated in linearization by an inversion licensor, but is disregarded by morphology and tonosyntax. Typological comparisons, e.g. to Slavic numerals, are superficial, so the approach here is micro-typological, focusing on variations within a broadly shared family-specific system.
Wohin strebt die differentielle Objektmarkierung im Spanischen?
Authors: Kabatek Johannes 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Differential Object Marking (DOM) in Spanish has been studied under various aspects: Spanish as a typical DOM language in typology, Spanish as the most salient Romance DOM language, Spanish and its diachronic evolution and diatopic variation. The present paper discusses different accounts that were given in the literature for the emergence and tendencies of DOM in Spanish. It tries to show that there is, apart from all the semantic and syntactic factors traditionally discussed, an overall basic value of DOM in Spanish which can be extracted analysing those cases where the presence or absence of DOM establishes an obvious opposition in meaning. It is claimed that the contemporary system emerged in Early Modern Spanish and that it seems rather stable in the Spanish speaking world. Furthermore, as a contemporary tendency within this system there seems to be an increase of DOM in cases where marking is facultative, with regional differences within the Spanish speaking world.
Cervantes y el humanismo. El somnium humanista en la Cueva de Montesinos (El coloquio de los perros y Quijote, II, 22–23)
Authors: López Jorge García 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Miguel de Cervantes lived a time of transition between the 15th century humanism and new literary genres that we identify with the aesthetic and ideological leadership of Justus Lipsius (1547-1606). Focusing especially on El coloquio de los perros and on chapters II, 22 and II, 23 of Don Quixote, the essay examines Cervantes’ use of the genre of somnium for various purposes. Especially in chapter II, 23 of Don Quixote, Cervantes criticizes the new literary genre boomed at the end of the 16th century in the light of his own aesthetic convictions from the reflection on the Poetics of Aristotle. By doing so, Cervantes expresses aesthetic positions of great originality, and of a singular, almost individual independence from dominant poetic and rhetoric currents at the beginning of the 17th century.
Dikē as Global World Order: An Orphic Inheritance in Aeschylus?
Authors: Pinchard Alexis 
Published: November 2016

Abstract:
The figure of Dikē in Aeschylus is not exactly the same as in Hesiod: it has a cosmic dimension; it grants also afterlife to individuals, while not excluding salvation. These features match several Orphic fragments and testimonies, especially those quoted by Greek philosophers. Therefore, an Orphic influence on Aeschylus would make sense; moreover, beyond Orphism, an Indo-European inheritance should be considered.
Orpheus and mousikê in Greek Tragedy
Authors: Semenzato Camille 
Published: November 2016

Abstract:
Much as he is famous, Orpheus is only mentioned by name fourteen times in the Greek tragedies and tragic fragments that have survived the ravages of time. Furthermore he is never shown as a protagonist, but always evoked by a dramatic character as an example, a parallel, a peculiarity, or a fantasy. This legendary singer is mentioned every time, if not explicitly, at least implicitly, in conjunction with μουσική, the ‘art of the Muses’, namely ‘music’ in its fullest sense. Each of these allusions recalls and highlights his prodigious and superhuman musical qualities and abilities.
Soliton and Shock Profiles in Electron-positron-ion Degenerate Plasmas for Both Nonrelativistic and Ultra-Relativistic Limits
Authors: Haider Md. Masum 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
An attempt has been taken to find a general equation for degenerate pressure of Chandrasekhar and constants, by using which one can study nonrelativistic as well as ultra-relativistic cases instead of two different equations and constants. Using the general equation, ion-acoustic solitary and shock waves have been studied and compared, numerically and graphically, the two cases in same situation of electron-positron-ion plasmas. Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) and KdV–Barger equations have been derived as well as their solution to study the soliton and shock profiles, respectively.
Photo-CIDNP in the Reaction Center of the Diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana Observed by 13C MAS NMR
Authors: Zill Jeremias C. , Kansy Marcel , Goss Reimund , Köhler Lisa , Alia A. , Wilhelm Christian , Matysik Jörg 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Photo-CIDNP MAS NMR presents a unique tool to obtain insight into the photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) of bacteria and plants. Using the dramatic enhancement of sensitivity and selectivity of the solid-state photo-CIDNP effect, structural as well as functional information can be obtained from the cofactor molecules forming a light-induced spin-correlated radical pair (SCRP) in a given reaction center. Here we demonstrate that the effect can be observed in a further species, which belongs neither to the plant nor the bacteria kingdom. Cyclotella (C.) meneghiniana is a member of the diatom phylum and, therefore, belongs to the kingdom of chromista. Chromista are some of the most productive organisms in nature, even in comparison to trees and terrestrial grasses. The observation of the effect in chromista indicates that the effect occurs in all photosynthetic organisms and completes the list with the last phototrophic kingdoms. Our data also demonstrate that the photo- and spin-chemical machineries of photosystem I of plants and chromista are very similar with respect to structure as well as function.
