<p>Cohesion is grammatical and lexical relation between semantically related elements in a text. When communication dimension of language is taken into consideration, the area where grammatical elements can be used functionally is expressions of students. This is a field research in descriptive research model. The purpose of this study is to determine the use of cohesion of 8th grade students in their verbal expressions. With this purpose, the students were asked to narrate the books including “Falaka, The Book of Dede Korkut, Yalnız Efe, Selected Tales from The Masnavi, Selected Stories by Sait Faik Abasıyanık, Gulyabani and What Men Live By”. The study group of the research involved 42 students from 3 schools. The cohesion that the students used in their utterance included linking elements, ellipsis, reference, lexical cohesion and substitution respectively. Among components of cohesion, the most common mistakes that the students made in reference, substitution, lexical cohesion, linking elements and ellipsis. According to the results, it has been determined that students scoring high and low marks in Transition from Elementary to Secondary Education (TESE) test and in the exam of Turkish lesson make similar mistakes.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Özet</strong></p><p>Bağdaşıklık, metinde anlamsal olarak birbirine bağlı unsurlar arasındaki dil bilgisel ve sözcüksel ilişkidir.

Multimodal processes scheduling in mesh-like network environment
Authors: Bocewicz Grzegorz , Banaszak Zbigniew 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
Multimodal processes planning and scheduling play a pivotal role in many different domains including city networks, multimodal transportation systems, computer and telecommunication networks and so on. Multimodal process can be seen as a process partially processed by locally executed cyclic processes. In that context the concept of a Mesh-like Multimodal Transportation Network (MMTN) in which several isomorphic subnetworks interact each other via distinguished subsets of common shared intermodal transport interchange facilities (such as a railway station, bus station or bus/tram stop) as to provide a variety of demand-responsive passenger transportation services is examined. Consider a mesh-like layout of a passengers transport network equipped with different lines including buses, trams, metro, trains etc. where passenger flows are treated as multimodal processes. The goal is to provide a declarative model enabling to state a constraint satisfaction problem aimed at multimodal transportation processes scheduling encompassing passenger flow itineraries. Then, the main objective is to provide conditions guaranteeing solvability of particular transport lines scheduling, i.e. guaranteeing the right match-up of local cyclic acting bus, tram, metro and train schedules to a given passengers flow itineraries.
Group and Phase Velocity of Love Waves Propagating in Elastic Functionally Graded Materials
Authors: Kiełczyński Piotr , Szalewski Marek , Balcerzak Andrzej , Wieja Krzysztof 
Published: July 2015

AbstractThis paper presents a theoretical study of the propagation behaviour of surface Love waves in nonhomogeneous functionally graded elastic materials, which is a vital problem in acoustics. The elastic properties (shear modulus) of a semi-infinite elastic half-space vary monotonically with the depth (distance from the surface of the material). Two Love wave waveguide structures are analyzed: 1) a nonhomogeneous elastic surface layer deposited on a homogeneous elastic substrate, and 2) a semi-infinite nonhomogeneous elastic half-space. The Direct Sturm-Liouville Problem that describes the propagation of Love waves in nonhomogeneous elastic functionally graded materials is formulated and solved 1) analytically in the case of the step profile, exponential profile and 1cosh2type profile, and 2) numerically in the case of the power type profiles (i.e. linear and quadratic), by using two numerical methods: i.e. a) Finite Difference Method, and b) Haskell-Thompson Transfer Matrix Method.The dispersion curves of phase and group velocity of surface Love waves in inhomogeneous elastic graded materials are evaluated. The integral formula for the group velocity of Love waves in nonhomogeneous elastic graded materials has been established. The results obtained in this paper can give a deeper insight into the nature of Love waves propagation in elastic nonhomogeneous functionally graded materials.

Published: July 2015

Abstract
One of the new methods of food drying using infrared heating under vacuum is to increase the drying rate and maintain the quality of dried product. In this study, potato slices were dried using vacuum-infrared drying. Experiments were performed with the infrared lamp power levels 100, 150 and 200 W, absolute pressure levels 20, 80, 140 and 760 mmHg, and with three thicknesses of slices 1, 2 and 3 mm, in three repetitions. The results showed that the infrared lamp power, absolute pressure and slice thickness have important effects on the drying of potato. With increasing the radiation power, reducing the absolute pressure (acts of vacuum) in the dryer chamber and also reducing the thickness of potato slices, drying time and the amount of energy consumed is reduced. In relation to thermal utilization efficiency, results indicated that with increasing the infrared radiation power and decreasing the absolute pressure, thermal efficiency increased.
Synchrotron Radiation Application for Lattice Strain Measurements
Authors: Gadalińska Elżbieta , Baczmański Andrzej , Sołoducha Kamil 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
The methods most commonly used for the determination of the elastic lattice deformation and distortion are diffraction methods, which enable to perform measurements of stresses and elastic properties of polycrystalline materials. The main advantages of diffraction methods are associated with their non-destructive character and the possibility to be used for macrostress and microstress analysis of multiphase and anisotropic materials. Diffraction methods enable taking measurements selectively only for a chosen alloy phase. This is very convenient when several phases are present in the sample since measurements of separate diffraction peaks allow the behaviour of each phase to be investigated independently.
In this work, a method for analysis of diffraction with synchrotron radiation is described. The methodology is based on the measurements of lattice strains during “in situ” tensile testing for several hkl reflections and for different orientations of the sample with respect to the scattering vector. Some initial results are presented.
The Relationship Between Intensity Indicators in Small-Sided Soccer Games
Authors: Casamichana David , Castellano Julen 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between different kinds of intensity indicators in small-sided soccer games. This descriptive correlational study included 14 semi-professional male soccer players (21.3 ± 2.3 years, 174 ± 4.0 cm, 73.4 ± 5.1 kg) from the same team. The players were monitored by means of heart rate monitors and GPS devices during 27 small-sided games of nine different formats, yielding a total of 217 recordings. After each game the Borg scale was used to give a rate of perceived exertion (RPE). The internal load indicators were the mean heart rate relative to the individual maximum (%HRmean) and the RPE, while those for the external load were the player load, total distance covered, distance covered in two intensity ranges (>18 km·h-1 and >21 km·h-1), and frequency of effort (in the same two intensity ranges). There was a significant moderate correlation (r=0.506) between the two internal load measurements (%HRmean and RPE). Although there were significant correlations of different degrees between various external load measurements, only the player load was significantly correlated with the internal load indicators (r=0.331 with %HRmean and r=0.218 with RPE). During training programes of this kind, it is necessary to consider a range of intensity indicators so as to obtain complementary information. This will enable coaches to more accurately assess the load imposed on players and therefore optimize the training process.
Estimation and Inference in an Ecological Inference Model
Authors: Fan Yanqin , Sherman Robert , Shum Matthew 
Published: July 2015

AbstractWe interpret an ecological inference model as a treatment effects model in which the outcomes of interest and the conditional covariates come from separate datasets. In this setting, the counterfactual distributions and policy parameters of interest are only partially identified under a selection on observables assumption. In this paper, we provide estimation and inference procedures for structural prediction and counterfactual analysis in such models. We also illustrate the procedures with an application to US presidential elections.

Adaptive Control and Synchronization of Sprott J System With Estimation Of Fully Unknown Parameters
Authors: Islam Mitul , Islam Nurul , Nikolov Svetoslav 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
This communication develops an adaptive scheme for control and synchronization of Sprott J system with fully unknown parameters. The scheme provides an elegant strategy of designing estimators for identification of the unknown parameters of the underlying dynamical system. Adaptive control and update laws are proposed to globally stabilize the chaotic Sprott J system. A pair of identical Sprott J systems with un- known parameters are globally synchronized with the help of adaptive control and parameter update laws. The results are established using LaSalle invariance principle, which lays down weaker restrictions on the derivatives of the Lyapunov function, and producing more general results. All the results obtained in the paper are global in nature. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed adaptive control and synchronization scheme in the context of the Sprott J system. The parameter identification capability of the scheme is also explored.
An Experiment in the Ability of Raters to Evaluate Lexis in Writing
Authors: Ruegg Rachael 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
For many years, people have considered lexis and grammar separately in the context of teaching and learning English. In the assessment of second language writing, lexis and grammar continue to be considered separately. However, recent corpus studies have questioned this approach and argued that lexis and grammar are fundamentally inseparable. While the assessment of lexis and grammar as two distinct qualities lends face validity to assessment criteria, the corpus literature suggests that raters may not be able to accurately distinguish the two. The current study examines the ability of raters to separate lexis and grammar when using an analytic rating scale to assess timed essays. In this experiment, the lexical content of 27 essays was manipulated before rating in order to determine the effect of lexical accuracy, lexical variation and lexical richness on lexis and grammar scores. From the results, it seems that raters are sensitive to lexical accuracy, but not lexical variation nor lexical richness. In addition, the manipulation of lexical qualities had a significant effect on grammar scores but not on lexis scores, supporting the idea that raters find it challenging to distinguish lexis from grammar

AbstractThis paper analyzes TAM marking in the nominal domain in Chorote (Mataguayo or Matacoan; Argentina and Paraguay). In this language, some of the verbal TAM markers also occur in the nominal domain, and at least three of them can have scope over only the nominal but not over the predicate of the clause: the distant past
A Few (Skeptical) Notes on the Theoretical Ramifications of Genres in the Contemporary Public Space
Authors: Cap Piotr 
Published: July 2015

AbstractThis paper is a tentative attempt to identify some basic-level conceptual and theoretical problems underlying the mainstream genre theory, which adversely affect the analysis of rapidly evolving, complex and hybrid genres in the modern communicative space. Having discussed these problems, I go on to I argue that the space of contemporary public communication should be viewed as not only an “analytic problem”, but also/rather a domain whose explorations could potentially revise the existing principles of genre theory. In particular, I suggest such explorations should focus on the conception of (public communication) genres as (i) abstractions, (ii) activators and realizers of context, (iii) flexible macrostructures, (iv) social field entities, (v) assigners of interpersonal roles. Notwithstanding a possible advancement of genre theory resulting from this approach, I conclude that it is only a first and admittedly uncertain step in trying to establish a sound theoretical framework for communicative genres in the modern discourse space.

Published: July 2015

Abstract
A simple oxidation synthesis route was developed for producing magnetite nanoparticles with controlled size and morphology. Investigation of oxidation process of the produced magnetite nanoparticles (NP) was performed after synthesis under different temperatures. The phase transformation of synthetic magnetite nanoparticles into maghemite and, henceforth, to hematite nanoparticles at different temperatures under dry oxidation has been studied. The natural magnetite particles were directly transformed to hematite particles at comparatively lower temperature, thus, maghemite phase was bypassed. The phase structures, morphologies and particle sizes of the produced magnetic nanoparticles have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) and BET surface area analysis.

Published: July 2015

Abstract
Infrared thermography can measure the temperature of a surface remotely. In this article authors present a diagnostic method of incipient fault detection. The proposed approach is based on pattern recognition. It uses monochrome thermal images of the rotor with the application of an area perimeter vector and a Bayes classifier. The investigations have been carried out for direct current motor without faults and motor with shorted rotor coils. The measurements were performed in the laboratory. The efficiency of recognition using the area perimeter vector and the Bayes classifier was 100 %. The investigations show that the method based on recognition of thermal images can be profitable for engineers. The proposed method can be applied in mining, metallurgy, fuel industry and in factories where electrical motors are used.
Discussion: Imagining the languaged worker’s language
Authors: Urciuoli Bonnie 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
What people perceive as “a language” – a named entity – is abstracted from practices and notions about those practices. People take for granted that language is somehow a “thing,” an objectively distinct and bounded entity. How languages come to be thus imagined indexes the conditions under which they are imagined. The articles in this issue illustrate various relations of language-imagining to the ongoing production of neoliberal subjectivity under conditions inflected by the pride-profit polarities, especially profit (Duchêne and Heller 2012). The themes that link these articles show the relation of the language under discussion to its languaged workers, how the language indexes the conditions of its deployment, and how the language is imagined. Entrepreneurialized language is fundamentally promotional, whether on a loose entrepreneur-network basis or following scripted policy or as a manifestation of cultural property. Thus imagined, language and language difference are subject to the same metasemiotic regime as are corporate-friendly interpretations of the national, ethnic, and racial differences represented by language difference. In other words, all forms of difference are “supposed” to be understood in terms of desirable contemporary business-friendly outcomes.
Black Sea Baric Depression
Authors: Isaia Ion 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
This work is meant to demonstrate that, in the special synoptic conditions, on the surface of the Black Sea, a baric depression is being formed. This depression is formed when the Black Sea's water temperature is higher than the surrounding continental ground's temperature. There are situations when the baric depression of the Black Sea occurs because of the consequences of the movement of another baric depression from the east of the Mediterranean Sea to its north-east side. Due to the high atmospheric pressure of the continental zone that's surrounding the Black Sea, the baric depression will get a retrograde movement, towards the north or northwest. Eventually, this depression occludes in the eastern continental zone of Europe or even near the Baltic Sea. During a retrograde movement of a baric depression, the atmospheric precipitations will fall in big quantities, in many situations, causing floods.
The effect of two packaging systems on the post-thaw characteristics of canine sperm
Authors: Strzeżek R. , Polakiewicz P. , Kordan W. 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of different packaging systems on some parameters of cryopreserved canine spermatozoa. The experimental material consisted of the sperm-rich fractions of ejaculates collected from four Beagle dogs. Semen samples for cryopreservation were stored in 0.25 ml plastic straws and two aluminum tubes with a total volume of 5.0 ml. Semen was frozen in static nitrogen vapor for 10 minutes (0.25 ml straws) or 15 and 20 minutes (aluminum tubes). Post-thaw assessments involved the determination of sperm motility parameters using a computer assisted sperm analyzer (CASA), sperm plasma membrane integrity (SPMI), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and acrosome integrity (normal apical ridge, NAR). Regardless of the packaging system applied, no significant differences in total sperm motility (TMOT) or selected kinematic parameters were observed after freezing-thawing. However, spermatozoa frozen in 0.25 mL straws were characterized by improved functionality, in particular mitochondrial function, after thawing. The results indicate that large quantities of canine semen can be frozen in aluminum tubes. Further studies are required, however, to evaluate different freezing and thawing rates of aluminum tubes.

Published: July 2015

Abstract
Feline injection site sarcomas (FISS) are malignant neoplasms of mesenchymal origin which arise in sites of injections in cats. The prevalence is estimated between 1 in 1000 and 1 in 10 000 vaccinations in the United Kingdom. The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of FISS in Poland and to analyse clinical aspects and histological and cytological features of injection site sarcomas. In our study the prevalence of FISS was 0.16% (16 FISS on 10.000 of cats) in feline patients in one of a veterinary surgery which conducts the general practice and 85 on 10.000 cats in a practice focused on veterinary oncology. The most typical microscopic features of FISS found in the present analysis were: the presence of perilesional scarring and inflammation, aggregates of lymphocytes at the tumour periphery, moderate but usually marked cellular pleomorphism and intralesional necrosis. The most typical cytologic features of FISS found in present study were: the presence of neutrophils, marked cellular pleomorphism, the presence of lymphocytes and macrophages, the presence of extremely large nuclei in the neoplastic cells, and high sample cellularity.
