description: This study presents a psychometric evaluation of the Verb Subordinates Test (VST). The VST assesses lexical competence based on knowledge of troponyms in the verb lexicon. Items are true/false statements with the structure To verbhyponym is a way to verbhypernym. Using Item Response Theory (IRT) analysis, this study examined the difficulty and discriminatory value of different items and difficulty levels of the VST. Statistical analyses showed that the VST is a promising vocabulary assessment measure with high internal consistency and good convergent validity, and that individual VST items, given their frequency range, are differentially informative across the vocabulary trait continuum.

description: In the hexagonal columnar phase of chiral polymers a bias towards cholesteric twist competes with braiding along an average direction. When the chirality is strong, topological defects proliferate, leading to either a tilt grain boundary phase or a new ``moire state'' with twisted bond order. This moire phase can melt leading to a new phase: the chiral hexatic. I will discuss some recent experimental results from the NIH on DNA liquid crystals in the context of these theories.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Deposition of mine tailings into the sea (deep‐sea tailings placement) has generated widespread criticism, despite little knowledge of its effects on marine communities. Here we investigate the effect of the disposal of tailings from a gold mine into the sea off Niolam Island (Lihir group), Papua New Guinea, and subsequent potential biomagnification in the local foodweb. We use a comparative approach contrasting the effects of the mine with a control site on the other side of the island away from the influence of the mine. We found abundance and diversity of zooplankton, micronekton and pelagic fish to be similar or higher at the mine site compared to the control. However, we also found relatively high trace metal concentrations in lower trophic level groups, especially zooplankton, but no differences in tissues concentrations between mine and control regions for micronekton and pelagic fish. Biomagnification of some trace metals was evident within lower trophic groups in the control region, but, with the exception of Hg, it does not persist into the more mobile and widely ranging higher trophic level species. We conclude that deep‐sea tailings placement at Niolam Island has a local effect on the smaller and less mobile pelagic communities with heavy metal concentrations, but has little effect on the abundance and biodiversity of the local foodweb, and is unlikely to affect the local people that consume the coastal pelagic fish. This is one of the first studies of biomagnification in pelagic foodwebs from tropical regions.

description: Digital educative practices are a new field of research in educative linguistics. Practices, like synchronous teleconference sessions, have their own characteristics that need new theoretical and methodological approaches. This article aims to present a sample of analysis, by combing existing tools both from educative discourse and also digital interaction analysis. Specifically, its aim is dual: to highlight the role that the affordances of the digital medium play on shaping teaching practices, but also to show how the ideology of those practices shape technologies.

description: The energy spectrum of a system containing a static quark anti-quark pair is computed for a wide range of source separations using lattice QCD with $N_\mathrm{f}=2+1$ dynamical flavours. By employing a variational method with a basis including operators resembling both the gluon string and systems of two separated static mesons, the first three energy levels are determined up to and beyond the distance where it is energetically favourable for the vacuum to screen the static sources through light- or strange-quark pair creation, enabling both these screening phenomena to be observed. The separation dependence of the energy spectrum is reliably parameterised over this saturation region with a simple model which can be used as input for subsequent investigations of quarkonia above threshold and heavy-light and heavy-strange coupled-channel meson scattering.

description: This paper focuses on Russian loanwords, loanblends and loanshifts that entered Greek lexicon during various historical periods. The study goes beyond the descriptive goal of identifying specific words, towards the goal of a) shedding light to the reasons of borrowing and b) accounting for the social and attitudinal factors that affect lexical borrowing. Τhe paper provides experimental data for supporting Anastassiadi’s (1994) claim that lexical fields, in which loanwords abound, reflect an image of the country where the donor language is spoken. This image does not represent reality (in the sense that it is not a photographic imprint of it) but has rather a symbolic value.

description: In this work we study the behavior of relativistic ideal Bose and Fermi gases in two space dimensions. Making use of polylogarithm functions we derive a closed and unified expression for their densities. It is shown that both type of gases are essentially inequivalent, and only in the non-relativistic limit the spinless and equal mass Bose and Fermi gases are equivalent as known in the literature.

Can Linguistic Analysis Enhance Legal Translation? Legal Translation; What Do Linguists Know About It Anyway?
Creators: name: Resta, Simonetta
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 1993

description: One of the fundamental problems - the fundamental problem, it could be argued – of translation is the accurate recognition of text-type, at the reading/analysis stage and the appropriate realisation of text-type, at the writing/synthesis stage. This problem is magnified to the extent to which a particular text-type - and therefore the conventions for its interpretation and production - are distinct from other text types. Primα fαcie, it would seem that the literary text is the most problematic in this respect but, it will be argued here, the legal text is equally distinctive and, it will be suggested, unique in one particular aspect; the legal text, in contrast with all other text types, is not intended to be communicative, in the normally accepted sense of the term. If this is indeed the case, we might ask what implications there are 1) for the interpretation of legal texts, 2) for their translation and 3) for the training of legal translators. Each of these issues will be addressed in turn but we must begin by defending the assertion that the legal text is unique in its non-communicative nature and demonstrate that this is, in fact, the case by specifyίng the formal and functional characteristics of the legal text. This will be done by looking, first at linguistic approaches to the problem of legal language, secondly by taking a legal perspective and, finally, by seeking an integrative approach which draws, we hope usefully, on both. We intend to argue - as will become clear in this paper - that the analysis of legal discourse has so far been relatively unrevealing because it has attempted to carry out the analysis without due regard to the social context and function of legal language within the legal system . It has, as de Saussure (1916) would have said, been treated: "au dehors de sa realite sociale".

description: We derive analytical formulas for the equal-time Wigner function in an electromagnetic field of arbitrary strength. While the magnetic field is assumed to be constant, the electric field is assumed to be space-independent and oriented parallel to the magnetic field. The Wigner function is first decomposed in terms of the so-called Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner (DHW) functions and then the transverse-momentum dependence is separated using a new set of basis functions which depend on the quantum number $n$ of the Landau levels. Equations for the coefficients are derived and then solved for the case of a constant electric field. The pair-production rate for each Landau level is calculated. In the case of finite temperature and chemical potential, the pair-production rate is suppressed by Pauli's exclusion principle.

On Syntactic Ambiguity

description: Linguistic investigation seeks primarily to achieve explanatory, in addition to descriptive, adequacy thus making possible the construction of highly valued types of grammar. The aim of the present paper is to suggest ways of providing a simple explication of certain linguistic phenomena like ambiguity which become of major interest to the extent that they can be shown to make a significant cοntributiοn to the establishment of such adequacy. Specifically, concem in this paper is mainly with indicating (a) the necessity of having descriptions of a multi-layer rather than of a linear nature, and (b) the systematicity that phenomena like ambiguity may exhibit thus justifying the centrality of their role in linguistic research.

Creators: name: Petursdottir, Hildur
Publisher: name: ASC 2011 - Theme session K
Year: 2024
Subjects: Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Trophic relationships of important pelagic zooplankton and fish species were investigated in August 2007 and 2008 in the Iceland Sea, north of Iceland. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes and fatty acid biomarkers were used to study trophic linkages and trophic ecology of the most important pelagic species in this ecosystem. It is concluded that there are 3–4 trophic levels in this pelagic ecosystem, excluding birds and mammals. The primarily herbivorous copepod Calanus hyperboreus occupies the lowest trophic level of the animal species studied but adults of capelin (Mallotus villosus) and blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) the highest. Calanus spp. proved to be an important diet component of most of the studied species. The euphausiid species Thysanoessa inermis and T. longicaudata, however, are exceptions as Calanus spp. are of minor importance in their diet. The chaetognath Eukrohnia hamata is a pure carnivore, feeding heavily on Calanus spp., while most of the other zooplankton species studied practise omnivorous–carnivorous feeding mode. Young euphausiids are an important food component for capelin larvae, and the amphipod species Themisto libellula is important in the diet of adult capelin. The importance of Calanus spp. or a Calanus‐derived diet increases with the size of capelin. Adults of capelin and blue whiting share the same feeding habits and could therefore be competing for food.

description: We investigate the signature of the Lund-Regge metric on spaces of simplicial three-geometries which are important in some formulations of quantum gravity. Tetrahedra can be joined together to make a three-dimensional piecewise linear manifold. A metric on this manifold is specified by assigning a flat metric to the interior of the tetrahedra and values to their squared edge-lengths. The subset of the space of squared edge-lengths obeying triangle and analogous inequalities is simplicial configuration space. We derive the Lund-Regge metric on simplicial configuration space and show how it provides the shortest distance between simplicial three-geometries among all choices of gauge inside the simplices for defining this metric (Regge gauge freedom). We show analytically that there is always at least one physical timelike direction in simplicial configuration space and provide a lower bound on the number of spacelike directions. We show that in the neighborhood of points in this space corresponding to flat metrics there are spacelike directions corresponding to gauge freedom in assigning the edge-lengths. We evaluate the signature numerically for the simplicial configuration spaces based on some simple triangulations of the three-sphere (S^3) and three-torus (T^3). For the surface of a four-simplex triangulation of S^3 we find one timelike direction and all the rest spacelike over all of the simplicial configuration space. For the triangulation of T^3 around flat space we find degeneracies in the simplicial supermetric as well as a few gauge modes corresponding to a positive eigenvalue. Moreover, we have determined that some of the negative eigenvalues are physical, i.e. the corresponding eigenvectors are not generators of diffeomorphisms. We compare our results with the known properties of continuum superspace.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Larval fish growth and survival depends not only on prey quantity, but also on prey quality. To investigate the effects of fatty acids on larval herring growth we collected seston, potential prey, and larval herring at two contrasting environmental situations in the Kiel Canal in spring 2009. Along with biotic and abiotic background data we analysed fatty acids in seston, potential prey organisms, and in the larvae as well as the RNA:DNA ratio of the larvae as the response variable. Although DHA‐poor Chlorophyceae dominated the phytoplankton community, high concentrations of DHA were found in the seston samples, indicating trophic upgrading by protists. Seston DHA was tightly coupled to DHA of early larval herring stages, and this relationship ceased with herring size. Larger larvae always had higher DHA concentrations, and DHA concentrations in the larvae were positively related to the nutritional condition of the larvae. This finding indicates the increasing importance of DHA in larval fish development.

description: In this work, we use measurements of galaxy stellar mass and two-point angular correlation functions to constrain the stellar-to-halo mass ratios (SHMRs) of passive and \np\ galaxies at $z\sim2-3$, as identified in the \emph{Spitzer} Matching Survey of the UltraVISTA ultra-deep Stripes (SMUVS). We adopt a sophisticated halo modeling approach to statistically divide our two populations into central and satellite galaxies. For central galaxies, we find that the normalization of the SHMR is greater for our passive population. Through the modeling of $Λ$ cold dark matter halo mass accretion histories, we show that this can only arise if the conversion of baryons into stars was more efficient at higher redshifts and additionally that passive galaxies can be plausibly explained as residing in halos with the highest formation redshifts (i.e., those with the lowest accretion rates) at a given halo mass. At a fixed stellar mass, satellite galaxies occupy host halos with a greater mass than central galaxies, and we find further that the fraction of passive galaxies that are satellites is higher than for the combined population. This, and our derived satellite quenching timescales, combined with earlier estimates from the literature, support dynamical/environmental mechanisms as the dominant process for satellite quenching at $z\lesssim3$.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The reaction of carbon dioxide (CO2) with water generates one proton (H+) for each bicarbonate ion (HCO3−) and two protons for each carbonate ion (CO32–) formed, decreasing the water pH. It is known that this reaction affects several primary producers, such as coccolithophores, whereas diatoms show a change in their total lipid content when cultured under high‐CO2 conditions. Fatty acid (FA) composition is a critical factor that regulates energy transfer efficiency between primary producers and consumers since essential FAs cannot be synthesized de novo by heterotrophic organisms and have to be acquired through their diet. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, in particular, play an important role in the growth, development, and reproductive processes of heterotrophs. A CO2‐related pH decrease seems to be a significant factor, causing shifts in the FA composition of several phytoplankton species, which may have important consequences for primary consumers and higher trophic levels. In a full factorial laboratory experiment, the copepod Acartia tonsa was grown at ambient (380 ppm) and increased (740 ppm) CO2 and fed with Thalassiosira pseudonana cultured under the same conditions. Development, egg production rate, and FA content per female were measured. The results show that these three parameters are all reduced when fed with T. pseudonana cultured at high CO2 conditions. We therefore conclude that CO2 concentration affects the fatty acid composition of T. pseudonana and that this alteration has a significant influence on the life cycle of A. tonsa. Further research is required to determine if the observed effects also occur in the natural environment.

description: Having a donor self-identity is crucial for sustained blood donation. When new donors give blood, they develop a role-identity ("I am a blood donor"). As they continue to donate, this role-identity is validated, becoming part of their self-identity ("Being a blood donor is an important part of who I am"). Despite the link between donor self-identity and retention, there are no interventions that foster this identity without relying on repeat donations. Interventions enhancing psychological ownership over donations could impact donor retention. Psychological ownership ("this is mine") is the sense of ownership over both material (e.g., blood collection agency) and abstract (e.g., blood donation behavior) possessions. This ownership is linked to sustained volunteering behavior and is associated with identity. In an Australia study, psychological ownership towards a blood collection agency increased with past donation experience and was positively associated with donor self-identity. Interviews showed that Australian donors primarily express ownership over the donation process, not the agency. This study aims to replicate these findings in Finland by collecting similar questionnaire data from Finnish Red Cross Blood Service donors and modeling it with a structural equation model. The study includes pre-registered R analysis code for direct repetition.

description: We explore the two holographic complexity proposals for the case of a 2d boundary CFT with a conformal defect. We focus on a Randall-Sundrum type model of a thin AdS$_2$ brane embedded in AdS$_3$. We find that, using the "complexity=volume" proposal, the presence of the defect generates a logarithmic divergence in the complexity of the full boundary state with a coefficient which is related to the central charge and to the boundary entropy. For the "complexity=action" proposal we find that the complexity is not influenced by the presence of the defect. This is the first case in which the results of the two holographic proposals differ so dramatically. We consider also the complexity of the reduced density matrix for subregions enclosing the defect. We explore two bosonic field theory models which include two defects on opposite sides of a periodic domain. We point out that for a compact boson, current free field theory definitions of the complexity would have to be generalized to account for the effect of zero-modes.

description: Reduction of couplings in supersymmetric GUTs is achieved by searching for renormalization group invariant (RGI) relations among couplings which hold beyond the unification scale. Finiteness is due to the fact that there exist RGI relations among couplings that guarantee the vanishing of the beta-functions of a N=1 supersymmetric GUT even to all orders in perturbation theory. Of particular interest are the relations among gauge and Yukawa couplings which lead to very interesting predictions of the top quark mass

description: Singapore has one of the highest COVID-19 vaccination rates, however identifying vaccine-hesitant sub-groups and their concerns is vital given the need for future boosters in vulnerable populations. Furthermore, vaccine hesitancy remains a concern in the event of an emergence of a newer strain that necessitates the rolling out of a new vaccination programme. The aims of this study were to establish the extent of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and the factors influencing it among adults in Singapore using the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (VHS). The study used a longitudinal methodology and participants were recruited in two waves from May 2020 to Sep 2022. In all 858 participants agreed to participate in both waves of the study. The two-factor structure of the VHS scale as established in earlier studies was tested using confirmatory factor analysis. The results revealed a two-factor structure of VHS comprising “lack of confidence” and “risks”. Those who had higher stress, resilience, and concerns that they might be infected with COVID-19 at wave 1 were significantly associated with lower ‘lack of confidence’ scores i.e. lower vaccine hesitancy. In comparison, those with higher concerns about inadequate government preventive measures and unemployment at wave 1 were significantly associated with higher ‘lack of confidence’ scores. Those with higher concerns about inadequate government preventive measures in wave 1 were significantly associated with higher ‘risks’ scores i.e. higher vaccine hesitancy. The findings point toward the need for a nuanced messaging that considers the fears expressed by the populace and addresses them directly using clear simple language.

We post-process our simulations with a three-dimensional Monte Carlo dust radiative transfer code to study dust extinction, dust emission, and dust temperature within these simulated z>=5 galaxies. Our sample forms a tight correlation between infrared excess (IRX=F_IR/F_UV) and ultraviolet (UV)-continuum slope (beta_UV), despite the patchy, clumpy dust geometry shown in our simulations. We find that the IRX-beta_UV relation is mainly determined by the shape of the extinction curve and is independent of its normalization (set by the dust-to-gas ratio). The bolometric IR luminosity (L_IR) correlates with the intrinsic UV luminosity and the star formation rate (SFR) averaged over the past 10 Myr. We predict that at a given L_IR, the peak wavelength of the dust spectral energy distributions for z>=5 galaxies is smaller by a factor of 2 (due to higher dust temperatures on average) than at z=0. The higher dust temperatures are driven by higher specific SFRs and SFR surface densities with increasing redshift. We derive the galaxy UV luminosity functions (LFs) at z=5-10 from our simulations and confirm that a heavy attenuation is required to reproduce the observed bright-end UVLFs. We also predict the IRLFs and UV luminosity densities at z=5-10. We discuss the implications of our results on current and future observations probing dust attenuation and emission in z>=5 galaxies.

Quasiparticle Spectrum of Vortices in Cuprates

description: The quasiparticle excitation spectrum of an isolated vortex in a clean layered d-wave superconductor is calculated, using both the Bogoliubov--de Gennes and the quasiclassical Eilenberger equations. Analytical solutions are obtained within the model of step-variation of the gap function, adjusting the Caroli, de Gennes and Matricon approach for low-lying excitations in cuprates. A large peak in the density of states in the "pancake" vortex core is found, caused by the two-dimensional and strong coupling nature of high-temperature superconductivity.

title: State of the Canary upwelling zooplankton in winter
Creators: name: Glushko, O. G.
Publisher: name: ASC 2011 - Theme session K
Year: 2024
Subjects: Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.This work was performed on materials collected in winter 2007/08 and 2009/10 in the southern part of the Canary upwelling area (16–21N). Zooplankton abundance was 11 377 individuals m–3 in 2007/08 and 8360 individuals m–3 in 2009/10. High abundance is stipulated by a growth of mass species: Paracalanus indicus, Oncaea spp., Temora turbinata, Centropages chierchiae. Fish larvae and eggs, Chaetognatha, and Siphonophorae formed the source of biomass. During these two years the biomass did not change (740 mg m–3). In 2007/08 and 2009/10 there three sustained zooplankton communities were distinguished. The community of the cape Cap Blanc was located in the north of the area (20–21°N in 2007/08 and 19°30′–21°00′N in 2009/10) and was formed with Paracalanus parvus, Oncaea media, and Temora turbinata. The abundance and biomass of the community was higher than in 2009/10, and Shannon’s index had reduced from 4.0 (2007/08) to 3.6 bits individual–1 (2009/10). The neritic community occupied the shelf area (16°00′‐20°10′N—in 2007/08; 16°00′19°30′N in 2009/10) and was characterized by a predominance of Paracalanus indicus, Calanoides carinatus, and relatively high Shannon’s index (4.4 bits individual–1 in 2007/08; 3.9 bits individual–1 in 2009/10). In 2009/10 the abundance of the community had twice reduced, and biomass had hardly changed. Paracalanus indicus, Oncaea conifera, and Calanoides carinatus prevailed in the oceanic community in 2007/08. In 2009/10 the composition of predominant species had changed, being formed of Oncaea conifera, Clausocalanus jobei, Oithona plumifera, and Paracalanus indicus. In 2007/08 the community was located from 16 to 21°N, in 2009/10 between 17°80′ and 19°00′N, excluding the shelf area. In 2009/10 abundance, biomass, Shannon’s index reduced.

description: This paper provides a simplified explanation of the vacuum bazooka through diagrams and builds a theoretical model only using concepts found in introductory mechanics. Our theory suggests that the velocity of the projectile is proportional to the hyperbolic tangent of time, and experimental measurements support this claim. We also find that the vacuum bazooka could be used to demonstrate the concept of terminal velocity in a classroom setting.

Degree modification and manner adverbs: Greek: poli ‘very’ vs. kala ‘well’
Creators: name: Gavriilidou, Zoe

Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2016
Subjects: degree modifier; intensification; scalar predicate; incremental predicate; telic predicate

description: In this study, we discuss the distribution of the degree modifier poli ‘very’ and the degree readings of the manner adverb kala ‘well’ in order to provide cross-linguistic support for the generality of the Kennedy & Mc Nally (2005) typology of scale structure of gradable predicates. We show that poli ‘very’ distributes with open scale predicates. We also show that the degree readings of kala ‘well’ arise when kala combines with incremental predicates, while the manner-quality only reading is produced when kala combines with classic telic verbs.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Zooplankton was collected by means of oblique tows above the thermocline, simultaneously with larvae sampling, in the Balearic Sea (northwest Mediterranean) during August 2008. A total of 40 stations were grouped in two classes by principal component analysis of the hydrographic conditions (temperature, salinity, and mesozooplancton biomass; 86.6% representation) distinguishing Mediterranean (MW) and Atlantic (AW) water masses. Size‐fractioned zooplankton analysis revealed greater biomass (p < 0.001) in the fraction >250 μm in the AW stations, while the nitrogen and carbon composition of this fraction was higher in the MW stations (p < 0.005). A. rochei larval abundance was positively correlated (r = 0.36; p < 0.05) with this mesozooplancton biomass fraction. Larger (p < 0.001) and heavier (p < 0.005) bullet larvae with a higher Fulton’s condition factor (p < 0.05) together with higher daily growth (p < 0.01) were found in MW. The nitrogen and carbon isotopic signature (δ15N and δ13C) did not show significant differences for the zooplankton fractions from either the MW and AW, but higher δ13C (p < 0.0001) found in MW larvae, suggesting different food supplies with more oceanic energy sources in AW. The higher δ15N (p < 0.05) content in bullet larvae collected in MW suggest a greater trophic specialization, probably consequent with differentiation of the zooplankton community of the water masses (lower zooplanktonic biomass with higher energetic content). A significant 15N isotopic enrichment between the A. rochei larvae and the zooplankton fractions was observed, positioning the larvae at a higher trophic level. The stable isotope studies have proven to be a useful tool for distinguishing variable trophic pathways during early life stages of fish inhabiting open sea marine ecosystems.
Question-answer sequences in institutional discourse: Constructing the defendant
Creators: name: Georgalidou, Marianthi
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2016
Subjects: question/answer sequences; institutional discourse

description: The purpose of this paper is to discuss question- answer sequences in discourse within institutional settings. Analysis focuses on data coming from parliamentary and forensic procedures, interviews that deal with the so called ‘Lagarde list’ case and two violent incidents that took place during extensive protest events in two major European capitals, namely London and Athens. The aim of the analysis is a) to discuss question/answer pairs in various formal institutional contexts and b) to question the boundaries among seemingly distinct speech-events pertaining to political, forensic and media discourse.

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the electronic structure of the highly anisotropic $β$ phase of metallic plutonium, within the combination of density functional theory (DFT) and dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). Its crystal structure gives rise to site and orbital selective electronic correlations, with coherent Pu-5$f_{5/2}$ states and very incoherent Pu-5$f_{7/2}$ states. The Hund's coupling is essential for determining the level of correlations of electrons in Pu-5$f$ states, and for the quasiparticle multiplets features in the Pu-5$f$ spectral function.

Nontopological Finite Temperature Induced Fermion Number

description: We show that while the zero temperature induced fermion number in a chiral sigma model background depends only on the asymptotic values of the chiral field, at finite temperature the induced fermion number depends also on the detailed shape of the chiral background. We resum the leading low temperature terms to all orders in the derivative expansion, producing a simple result that can be interpreted physically as the different effect of the chiral background on virtual pairs of the Dirac sea and on the real particles of the thermal plasma. By contrast, for a kink background, not of sigma model form, the finite temperature induced fermion number is temperature dependent but topological.
