The timing of nuclear falls: Evidence from Dutch, West Frisian, Dutch Low Saxon, German Low Saxon, and High German
Authors: Peters Jörg , Hanssen Judith , Gussenhoven Carlos 
Published: March 2015

AbstractA reading experiment was designed to examine the effects of word boundaries and metrical structure on the temporal alignment of the accentual peak and the end of the fall in nuclear rising-falling accents. Participants were speakers of a number of closely related dialects and languages from the coastal area of the Netherlands and North-West Germany, covering Zeelandic Dutch, Hollandic Dutch, West Frisian, Dutch Low Saxon, German Low Saxon, and Northern High German. Our findings suggest that in no variety is the timing of the nuclear peak or the end of the fall systematically affected by the location of the final word boundary or that of the following stress. In most cases, the accentual peak was found to be stably aligned with the beginning of the nuclear accented syllable, while the end of the fall occurred at a fairly constant distance from the preceding
Sleepless in Seoul: Neoliberalism, English fever, and linguistic insecurity among Korean interpreters
Authors: Cho Jinhyun 
Published: March 2015

AbstractThis article examines the socially constructed nature of significant linguistic insecurity with regard to the English language in Korean society as informed by neoliberalism. It specifically explores how linguistic insecurity leads to the pursuit of linguistic perfectionism under the popular discourse of neoliberal personhood. Participants are English-Korean translators and interpreters who spent extended periods of their youth abroad in English immersion contexts. Informants’ narratives trace their linguistic journeys from linguistic adjustment overseas to readjustment and career decisions back home. This study examines their experiences at school and work, with a particular focus on their relationships with non-returnees. The findings reveal that in contrast to the commonly-held beliefs that returnees are competent and confident speakers of English, they suffer from anxieties related to unrealistically high “native-like” expectations of their English back home. Their career choice can be traced to a strong belief in the ideals of neoliberal personhood, through which they hope to transform themselves for social recognition. This, however, remains elusive due to heightened competition over English against an ever-rising bar. The article concludes that the current state represents a “no-win” situation, in which linguistic insecurity and perfectionism continue to be reinforced in neoliberal discourses of individual accountability.
Wondering at Plato Phaedo 62A
Authors: Boter Gerard 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
The long sentence at Plato Pbaedo 62a has been the subject of much discussion from Antiquity on. None of the proposed interpretations gives satisfactory sense. The basic error is that everyone has failed to perceive the ultimate unity of the sentence, which leads to the wrong view that the force of the negation ουδέποτε extends to the first part of the sentence only. The reading proposed here takes account of the fundamentally oral character of Plato's language; it is shown that, when the sentence is half-way, the initial construction is resumed and simplified. The force of the negation ουδέποτε extends to the sentence as a whole. This results in an interpretation which is in full accordance with the context: Cebes is supposed to be astonished at the fact that suicide is prohibited, even for those people for whom death is preferable to life.
Cyclic Stories: The Reception of the Cypria in Hellenistic Poetry
Authors: Sistakou Evina 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
This paper considers the Hellenistic poets' attitude towards pre-Trojan war myths; in particular, it examines the Hellenistic reception of six narratives from the Cypria: the marriage of Peleus and Thetis; the duel between the Dioscuri and Idas and Lynceus; the story of Telephus; the love affair between Achilles and Deidameia; the abandonment of Philoctetes on Lemnos; and the involvement of the Achaeans with the priest Anius and his daughters, the Oenotropae. Furthermore, it is argued that the reception of these stories from the Cypria may be seen as a metaliterary comment upon epic poetry, firstly because narratives from the Epic Cycle are adapted to fit epic subgenres, such as the elegy, the epyllion, the hymn and the idyll, and secondly because the neoteric versions of these narratives put particular emphasis on certain motifs, types of hero and narrative techniques which are typical of Hellenistic poetics.

Tacitus und Sima Qian: Persönliche Erfahrung und historiographische Perspektive
Authors: Mutschler Fritz-Heiner 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
Tacitus and Sima Qian (ca. 140-85 BC, author of the Shiji, the Records of the Historian) are eminent representatives of Roman and ancient Chinese historiography. The starting-point of the paper is a striking parallel between the two historians: During the reign of autocratic emperors (of the last of the Flavian emperors, Domitian, and of the most powerful of the Han-emperors Wudi) both authors undergo experiences which not only affect them on a personal level, but also influence their historiographie practice. The paper traces this influence with respect to the representations of individual historical characters. On the one hand it analyses the representations of rulers: of Tiberius, adoptive son and successor of Augustus, and of Wendi, natural son and (indirect) successor of Gaodi, the founder of the Han-dynasty; on the other hand it studies the representations of second and third rank characters such as senators, ministers, generals, and - in the case of Sima Qian - also of people from other walks of life. The similarities which can be observed between the two authors point to the existence of certain anthropological constants, whereas the differences are to be attributed to basic differences in Roman and Chinese political thinking and to differing degrees of the intensity of the experiences undergone by each historian.

Cryogenic Separation Of Glauconite And Foraminifera From The Cretaceous/Paleogene Boundary Interval At Nasiłów, Poland, For Radiometric Dating And Stratigraphy
Authors: Wójtowicz Artur , Pieńkos Tomasz , Hałas Stanisław , Peryt Danuta , Durakiewicz Tomasz , Młynek Agnieszka 
Published: March 2015

AbstractWe have demonstrated that cryogenic separation of glauconite and foraminifera from the host rock allows to preserve the integrity of extracted specimens, assures minimal damage and causes no artificial fractionation. The K/Ar dating of two glauconite samples from Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary in the Nasiłów outcrop yields 62.0 and 66.3 Ma. The discrepancy in these dates, much larger than expected from analytical precision, may result from too low %K, which was 5.91 and 5.73, respectively.
Positive And Negative Feedback Loops Coupled By Common Transcription Activator And Repressor
Authors: Sielewiesiuk Jan , Łopaciuk Agata 
Published: March 2015

AbstractDynamical systems consisting of two interlocked loops with negative and positive feedback have been studied using the linear analysis of stability and numerical solutions. Conditions for saddle-node bifurcation were formulated in a general form. Conditions for Hopf bifurcations were found in a few symmetrical cases. Auto-oscillations, when they exist, are generated by the negative feedback repressive loop. This loop determines the frequency and amplitude of oscillations. The positive feedback loop of activation slightly modifies the oscillations. Oscillations are possible when the difference between Hilll’s coefficients of the repression and activation is sufficiently high. The highly cooperative activation loop with a fast turnover slows down or even makes the oscillations impossible. The system under consideration can constitute a component of epigenetic or enzymatic regulation network.
A review of recent developments in flammability of polymer nanocomposites
Authors: Idumah Christopher Igwe , Hassan Azman , Affam Augustine Chioma 
Published: March 2015

AbstractPolymer nanocomposite flame retardancy has become a critical parameter in industrial material application. Recent environmental policies have prohibited the incorporation of halogenated flame-retardant compounds into polymers owing to the high level of environmental degradation caused by high levels of toxic gas and smoke emission. The demand for zero-halogen flame-retardant compounds by both researchers and manufacturers is due to the inherent advantages accruable from their incorporation like very minimal toxic emission, minimal smoke release, zero corrosive gas release, reduced corrosion activities and absence of dripping in fire condition. This has necessitated the quest for eco-compliant replacements for halogenated flame suppressants. Recent insight has shown the eco-compliancy of exfoliated graphene nanoplatelets as flame retardants when incorporated into polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). Relative to the propensity to retard flame, increasing quantities of exfoliated graphene nanoplatelets have exhibited the capability to significantly repress critical flammability parameters like heat release rate (HRR), peak HRR (PHRR), rate of carbon monoxide production, smoke production rate and total mass loss rate while simultaneously increasing limiting oxygen index, time of ignition and total PHRR, thereby retarding flammability and creating better chance to reduce loss and casualty in real-life fire situation through the formation of even layers of carbonaceous char in the condensed phase capable of efficiently suppressing the thermal decomposition caused by oxygen and heat to the polymer matrix and cutting off the flaming path. This paper gives an insight into recent developments in flame retardancy of PNCs, with special emphasis on the flame-retardancy propensity of exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets.
Gender Assignment and Agreement in L2 Spanish: The Effects of Morphological Marking, Animacy, and Gender
Authors: Alarcón Irma V. 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between second language (L2) Spanish gender assignment and agreement and specific noun categories by distinguishing the effects of noun morphology (overt, non-overt, or deceptive), noun class (semantic or non-semantic), and gender (masculine or feminine). Specifically, assuming the correct acquisition of gender assignment, how do noun morphology, class and gender affect correct gender agreement when using the same type of noun? One hundred and seven English-speaking learners of Spanish at three proficiency levels completed an assignment and agreement written production task, in which they were first asked the gender of a noun (assignment), and then to provide an agreeing adjective in a meaningful context (agreement). Results showed that the probability of producing correct agreement given correct assignment was significantly higher with semantic than with non-semantic nouns, with overt rather than non-overt and/or deceptive nouns, and with masculine rather than feminine nouns. The discussion provides insights concerning how animacy (semantic gender) overrides morphology when establishing correct gender agreement in L2 Spanish.

Abstract
A mixed lithium/beryllium diethylhydroxylaminate compound containing
n
butyl beryllium units of total molecular composition
n
Be(ONEt2)2 [(LiONEt2)2

n
BuBeONEt2]2 (1) was isolated from a reaction mixture of
n
butyl lithium, N,N-diethylhydroxylamine and BeCl2 in diethylether/thf. The crystal structure of 1 has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The aggregate is composed of two ladder-type subunits connected in a beryllium-centered distorted tetrahedron of four oxygen atoms. Only the lithium atoms are engaged in coordination with the nitrogen donor atoms. The DFT calculations support the positional occupation determined for Li and Be in the crystal structure. The DFT and the solid-state structure are in excellent agreement, indicating only weak intermolecular interactions in the solid state. Structural details of metal atom coordination are discussed.

ABSTRACTIn recent decades, we have seen an increase in the use of computers. This presents a crossroads in deciding what to do with the units that become "obsolete". As society, we have created a new type of solid waste that must be handled differently because the diversity of materials composition. In addition, at the end of their life cycle also affects the environment when the materials are disposal in landfill; i.e. plastic substrate (polycarbonate), may lead to chronic problems such as hyperactivity, infertility or even cancer.The recycling of electronic equipment is from whole parts, such as the electronic cables. Recover substances (plastics) and compounds (metals) from electronic cables could it be possible.We are looking for a solution to this problem and we created a structure of recycling to reduce the waste at the source and allows that which cannot be reduced is recycled, because computers contain 20% of thermoplastics and 6% of plastic mixtures that are the subject of this investigation.The recycled chemist hired himself since it provides capabilities that address the limitations of the mechanical recycling; you need large quantities of clean, separate, homogeneous plastic waste to be able to guarantee the quality of the final product. Chemical recycling overcomes these drawbacks, since the classification of the different types of plastic resins from of waste is not necessary.Based on the data obtained from this research, determines that the recycling of computer waste in conjunction with other plans of reduction at source makes this a viable alternative for the management of the same. Benefits that can be derived by establishing a recycling of the computer waste program is donating units or sell these affordable to low-income people who otherwise would not have access to this technology.
Detection of Metallic Inclusions in Metals by Thermoelectric Coupling
Authors: Carreon Hector 
Published: March 2015

ABSTRACTA comparison between reported analytical results with experimental data of the magnetic flux density on cylindrical tin inclusions of elliptical cross-section embedded in a copper matrix under external thermal excitation is presented. By changing the aspect ratios b/a designated by e of the elliptical inclusions, a wide range of real situation such as slender inclusions can be simulated. The experimental magnetic field distribution illustrated the potential for the non contacting thermoelectric technique to detect and characterize metallic inclusions of different geometries based on their magnetic signature. Preliminary results on a cylindrical hard alpha (TiN) inclusion embedded in Ti–6Al–4V matrix is also presented to demonstrate that the proposed non-destructive method might be applicable to a wide range of alloys including high-strength, high-temperature engine materials.
Study of lattice vibration and thermal conductivity of BiCuSeO from first-principles calculations
Authors: Ding Jingxuan , Xu Ben , Lin Yuanhua 
Published: March 2015

ABSTRACTThe BiCuSeO has been proved to be one of the best oxide-based thermoelectric materials in recent years. Its electric properties have been widely studied, yet the lattice thermal conductivity was only discussed roughly. Our investigation suggests that the anharmonic vibration and the interlayer-interaction plays the crucial role in reducing the intrinsic lattice thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity has been calculated based on quasi-harmonic approximation and detailed contribution have been discussed. The calculated data have good agreement with the experimental data.

ABSTRACTBecause of the high energy density, easy ignition, and good storability, mechanically alloyed Al·Mg powder has the potential to improve the performance characteristics of various energetic and gas-generating materials. Here, the use of this powder in combustible mixtures for generation of oxygen and hydrogen is explored. The mixtures for oxygen generation consisted of sodium chlorate, nanoscale cobalt oxide catalyst, and Al·Mg powder, while those for hydrogen generation included water, polyacrylamide as a gellant, and Al·Mg powder. To increase hydrogen yield, ammonia borane (NH3BH3) was also added to Al·Mg − water mixtures. Combustion experiments were conducted in an argon environment, using laser ignition. The thermal wave propagation over the oxygen-generating mixtures was studied using infrared video recording. It has been shown that mechanically alloyed Al·Mg material is a promising alternative to currently used iron because significantly smaller amounts of this additive are needed for a steady propagation of the combustion wave. The hydrogen generation experiments have shown that mixtures of mechanically alloyed Al·Mg powder with 10−60 wt% gelled water are combustible, with the front velocities exceeding the values obtained for the mixtures of water with nanoscale Al. Hydrogen yield was measured using mass-spectrometry. In the mixtures that included ammonia borane, D2O was used instead of H2O. Measurements of H2, D2, and HD concentrations in the product gas provided insight into the reaction mechanisms. The isotopic tests have shown that AB participates in two parallel processes − thermolysis and hydrolysis, thus increasing hydrogen yield.
Electronic Transport through Conical Nanosized GaAs Pillars
Authors: Bartsch Thorben , Heyn Christian , Hansen Wolfgang 
Published: March 2015

ABSTRACTWe study the electronic transport through epitaxial GaAs nanopillars that are only 16 nm long, with diameters of about 100 nm at the upper and 40 nm at the lower end. The pillars can be considered to be very short conical nanowires embedded in AlGaAs. They represent quantum point contacts between two perfectly lattice matched three-dimensional GaAs charge reservoirs. Distinctive asymmetries are found in the current-voltage characteristics. We associate them with the conical shape of the pillars. Although contact reservoirs and pillars are made from the same material, the transport through the pillars is dominated by tunneling across shallow barriers. This is explained by the quantum size effect on the electronic states within the pillars.
Experiential Validity

Published: March 2015

After giving a short introduction to Implicit Religion, this paper points out mutual benefits from linking psychology to the study of Implicit Religion. By employing accumulated knowledge of human cognition, behaviour and emotion, and making use of the apparatus of validated methodology, psychology can facilitate access to individual perceptions of the sacred and explore their consequences on attitudes, action, and personal well-being.
Brief insights into the psychological research lines that are present in the Issue at hand are provided. Recent developments in research on meaning in life, selftranscendence, spirituality, and sanctification are described. Fruitful links to the study of Implicit Religion are proposed, suggesting further research on topics such as effects of implicit religiosity on personal, interpersonal, institutional and societal levels; the functioning of implicit-religious meaning systems in stressful circumstances of people’s lives; the distinction of horizontal and vertical selftranscendence, and overlaps in the discourses of spirituality and Implicit Religion.
