title: Development of an Autonomous Redundant Attitude Determination System for Cubesats

description: ABSTRACT: This work deals with the problem of the design of an autonomous redundant system for the attitude determination of nanosatellites. The system consists of a circuit board equipped with three microcontrollers, a magnetic field sensor in three axes, and complementary commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) components and connectors to provide data signal exchange the vehicle on-board computer. The main goal of this system, named SDATF (of the acronym in Portuguese Sistema de Determinação de Atitude com Tolerância a Falhas), is to provide autonomously the vehicle attitude from the information collected from the onboard computer (OBC) and the magnetometer. The adopted attitude determination algorithm is based on the well-known QUEST method, and the goal of this system is to get accurate attitude computations to low-orbit CubeSat satellites using COTS electronic components, and to provide highly reliable data and high availability levels using fault tolerance tools to avoid the harmful consequences of spatial radiation and its faults known as single event upsets (SEU). The article presents the general design of the fault-tolerant systems and experimental tests using bit flip injection methodology.

title: Reliability Approach to Optimal Thruster Configuration Design for Spacecraft Attitude Control Subsystem

description: ABSTRACT: An optimal thruster configuration for attitude control subsystem of a spacecraft is presented in this paper. The optimal configuration is designed according to minimum number of required thrusters for satisfying desired reliability with specific redundancy level. The genetic algorithm is employed for optimization process and feasibility of the results is evaluated using algebraic and geometry methods. The main feature of the proposed configuration among feasible configuration with minimum number of required thrusters, which has held to optimal configuration, is that this configuration has maximum reliability and minimum fuel consumption. In addition to feasibility, attitude control performance of some configurations is also examined through the simulation. The results of simulation confirm that the proposed configuration has desirable performance. It is noteworthy to mention that the configuration with maximum number of required thrusters, which is a conventional configuration such that each thruster belongs to only one control channel, has less fuel consumption than optimal configuration. However, the total mass of optimal configuration is less than that of conventional configuration due to a smaller number of thrusters.

title: Single European Sky: The progress so Far

description: ABSTRACT: This paper aims to assess the progress made towards the implementation of a Single European Sky (SES). It examines the program’s four main key performance indicators - environmental impact, safety, cost efficiency and capacity - and depicts in more detail the sequence of changes in each problematic area, thereby providing a better visualization of the main milestones and the issues hindering proposed reforms. The paper concludes that the overall process of reforming European airspace within SES has been slow and delayed, partly due to a lack of cooperation and commitment from air navigation service providers and states to deliver the information needed and apply desired amendments. The paper recommends several actions, which could improve the SES performance, including among others the implementation of incentives to meet the program’s objectives, as well as penalties for lack of cooperation, and the introduction of a common en-route charging rate at the European level.

title: Language, Translation, and the Irish Theatre Diaspora in Quebec

description: Abstract: This article argues for the inclusion of Québécois translations of Irish plays as part of the Irish theatrical diaspora. The presence of an Irish diaspora in North America was mainly the result of massive waves of immigration, in large part due to the Great Famine, peaking during the mid-nineteenth century before gradually abating. This diaspora was integrated into Quebec society, undoubtedly facilitated by similar political, religious, and even linguistic elements. Interest in Irish culture, especially in its theatrical output, remains high, with many theatre companies, for example Théâtre La Licorne in Montreal, in the province commissioning seasons based on Celtic Tiger-era dramas, translated by Québécois playwrights. In tracing the reason for this interest, despite diminished recent immigration, this article provides the basis for continued research into the performative force of proactive translations across varying diasporic traditions.

title: THE EXISTENTIAL PERFECT AND ITS MORPHOLOGICAL AND ADVERBIAL REALIZATIONS IN AMERICAN ENGLISH

description: Abstract The perfect aspect reveals an interval between two points in time. One of its types is the existential perfect (EP), that may be related to a past situation with effects in the present. The goal of this study is to investigate the morphological and adverbial realizations compatible with the EP, associated with the present, in American English (AE). The methodology consisted of analyses of corpora – interviews taken from the American TV and the Santa Barbara Corpus of Spoken American English – and of data obtained by a linguistic test. The hypothesis is that the realization of the EP associated with the present in AE only occurs through “have” + past participle, with or without the overt realization of the auxiliary verb. The hypothesis was refuted, since the simple past was also found while realizing this aspect. We discussed the contribution of the verbal forms, adverbs and the plurality of events in the expression of the EP.

title: REMARKS ON SOME MINIMALIST ACCOUNTS FOR BINDING

description: Abstract The present paper is a reassessment of the empirical and theoretical arguments presented by some minimalist accounts for binding. Some of them assume that the binding principles are conditions on LF representations, while others argue that they are derived by narrow syntax computations. I present some observations indicating that there is not yet a satisfactory account for binding. Despite that, the amounted evidence indicates that binding is derivational. Nevertheless, pragmatics seems also engaged in building coreferentiality.

title: THE DEVELOPMENT OF LANGUAGE AND ITS INTERACTION WITH OTHER ASPECTS OF COGNITION: THE CASE OF MEDIAL WH-QUESTIONS IN ENGLISH AND IN BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE

description: Abstract Preschool children acquiring English and Brazilian Portuguese display a peculiar behavior when prompted to produce multi-clause wh-questions. In elicited production tasks, structures with an extra wh-element in medial position are sometimes produced. Such medial questions are impossible in the adult languages being acquired. Following a hypothesis put forth by Grolla & Lidz (2018), we propose that children’s productions are not generated by children’s grammar, but reflect difficulties of their developing cognitive system. More specifically, we propose that children’s more limited inhibition control capacity leads them to pronounce elements with high activation levels in wrong places of the structure. Experimental data on both languages are provided which corroborate this claim. These data show that children with more limited inhibition control capacity are more likely to produce medial wh-questions.

title: NO ESCAPE FROM CATEGORIZATION: AN INSIDER’S VIEW OF COMPOUNDS

description: Abstract There has been a surge of syntactic research on compounding, joining a large literature on the nature of roots and phase theory. In an attempt to probe into the syntactic domain for idiosyncratic interpretation and to account for categorial exocentricity, disappearance of subcategorization, and lexical integrity effects, some recent studies on compounding have argued that root compounds are made up of two free acategorial roots directly merged in syntax, without undergoing categorization. The main goal of such an approach is to extend the phase domain in order to maintain two uncategorized roots awaiting further Merge operations. When a category head is merged on the top of this structure, it will trigger its Spell-Out, and as a result, both roots will (i) receive a single category status, (ii) be identified as a single syntactic object for the purposes of extraction and binding, and (iii) be assigned a non-compositional interpretation. In this article, we argue that root categorization should not be analyzed as an optional derivational step. By exploring compounding in Brazilian Portuguese, we identify a handful of phenomena that challenge the assumption that root compounds are made up of two bare roots. We propose that categorial exocentricity, subcategorization, and lexical integrity effects can be straightforwardly accounted if we assume that the unifying characteristic of compounds is the presence of a category head merged on the top of two categorized roots. We claim that non-compositional domains are not determined by categorization. Following Harley (2014), we admit that non-compositionality is assigned at LF through a set of LF instructions associated with roots in a particular syntactic environment.

title: Magnetic structure in the ordered state of a new Nd-based pyrochlore

description: Rare-earth pyrochlore A2B2O7 have been found to be interesting materials in which a rich spectrum of magnetic phenomena have been observed. Variation of rare-earth ion in A sites can modulate the magnetic ground state due to rather different crystal-field ground states in the D3d local symmetry of A sites. Here, we have prepared a new Nd-pyrochlore Nd2ScTaO7. It is found that the "moment fragmentation" is robust to the highly disordered crystal-field environment in B-site mixing Nd2ScTaO7 reflected by the coexistence of long-range order and diffuse scattering in the ground state. Moreover, the magnetic structure is argued to be different from the all-in-all-out magetic structure. Therefore, we propose to verify the exact magnetic structure in this new Nd-pyrochlore which can help to understand more about the role of crystal-field ground state on the pyrochlore physics.

title: DOES ELLIPSIS REPAIR HEAD MOVEMENT CONSTRAINT VIOLATIONS?

description: Abstract Using English data, I show that Head Movement Constraint violations cannot be repaired by deletion and compare this result with cases of both salvation and non-salvation by ellipsis from previous literature. I then consider two possible sources for this lack of repair. The first is to take the Head Movement Constraint as a derivational constraint, and the second is to assimilate it into the Empty Category Principle (Chomsky, 1986).

title: ONLINE PSYCHOLINGUISTIC METHODS: THE MAZE TASK

description: Abstract Many researches in the field of psycholinguistics and other sub-areas of linguistics involve analysis of reaction time (RT) of human beings when reading certain linguistic structures. These RTs are used as indicative of the difficulty of processing different linguistic units. To collect this type of information, two methods are widely used: eye tracking (Rayner) and self-paced reading (Mitchel (a)). However, the data obtained by these methods may contain noise that makes the analysis of the results more complex. In this paper, we will present another option of an experimental reading method that seems to mitigate these noises: the maze task (Forster; et al.). Proponents of this experimental technique argue that the data it generates is less noisy because it inhibits spill-over effects, reduces the possibilities of reading strategies and requires a high level of attention from the participants. Thus, the data is found in the expected region and comprehension questions are not necessary. We describe in this article some of the first studies that used this technique. The results of these studies corroborate its methodological potential, since they demonstrate that the task generated localized data that converged with processing effects previously observed in the literature.

title: LANGUAGES IN CONFLICT: MODELS FOR LEXICAL ACCESS BASED ON ORTOGRAPHIC INPUT IN BILINGUALS OR MULTILINGUALS AND THE EFFECT OF MULTILINGUALISM IN THE EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS

description: Abstract The phenomenon of bilingualism is the essential premise for translation. This paper presents contemporary cognitive models for written word recognition, based on previous experimental work with interlingual homographs. We will discuss studies on language conflict between two or more languages, and how these findings provide support for the language non-selective hypothesis for lexical access, which elucidates the impact of bilingualism in the processes of reading and translation. As a secondary goal and with a neuroscientific perspective, we will also describe the changes in the brain and mental processes that underlie the experience of bilingualism and multilingualism. Studies discussed here demonstrate an advantage in executive function (updating, inhibition and mental flexibility) as well as structural and functional changes in circuits, especially involving the prefrontal cortices bilaterally. These changes have been indicated as important protective factors in different situations of neural loss.

title: SUBJECT ELLIPSIS IN EARLY CHILD LANGUAGE

description: Abstract This paper aims to discuss whether parametric analyses can account for missing subjects in child English. I review previous parametric analyses of missing subjects and present a new learning model built upon a more recent version of the Null Subject Parameter (Holmberg, 2010a). Parametric analyses of the phenomenon have the advantage of giving a simple answer to why children omit subjects and how they reach an adult grammar: the problem is reduced to a matter of parameter missetting and resetting. However, early parametric analyses of missing subjects (Hyams, 1986, 1991) were challenged by empirical findings (Valian, 1991; Wang et al., 1992). The pattern of subject omission in child English also cannot be explained by the new parametric learning model presented in this article. I conclude that missing subjects in English are best analyzed as subject ellipsis (i.e., ‘diary drop’), an option available for English-speaking adults.

title: FORM AND CONTENT ANOMALIES IN BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE: A PRELIMINARY EYE-TRACKING STUDY OF READING AND ACCEPTABILITY EVALUATION

description: Abstract The present study uses the eye tracking methodology to investigate to what extent the reading of sentences in Brazilian Portuguese may differ in relation to grammatical and semantic anomalies and how these sentences are evaluated for their good formation, taking as control syntactically and semantically well-formed sentences. The analyses of the on-line data, allowed us to identify that sentences that present anomalous number agreement features in the object noun phrase are more costly in terms of fixation and refixation patterns than the semantic anomalous sentences, even though they may be better accepted by educated speakers in the off-line measure than sentences with semantic anomalies. It is argued that the results provide evidence in favor of structural models of sentence processing.

title: VERB PARTICLES AND ASPECT IN COMPLEX PARTICLE CONSTRUCTIONS

description: Abstract The goal of this paper is to investigate the verb particle’s contribution for the event structure in complex particle constructions. The focus will be on a subgroup of constructions that have a secondary predicate denoting a resultant state over an accusative phrase alongside with a verb particle, as we can see in the following examples: John grilled the onions up dry and The farmer painted the barn up red. The argumentation supports the view that the particle contribution is aspectual in its nature, specifically representing a sense of completeness and/or totality, and not telicity proper.

title: NOTIONS ON READING VIEWED BY COGNITION

description: Abstract The objective of this article is to introduce to translators, professors as well as graduate and undergraduate students how the brain works to enable us to extract meaning from a string of letters being focused by the fovea under the attentional beam: to read. In order to initiate novice readers to the topic, the introduction explains the relevance of the matter by providing factual numbers of the functional illiteracy in Brazil. Secondly, a broad overview of the eye-tracker is provided as a tool to measure latencies and show the fixations of the eyes while reading. Thirdly, parts of the eyes related to the reading skill are presented. At last, an account of the Visual Word Recognition is accorded describing the processes that support the mapping of spelling-to-sound spelling-to-meaning, emphasizing that words are coded and analyzed at multiple levels. The functional relationships between orthographic, phonological, and semantic variables are explored. There is an attempt to focus on both the interactive processing between different layers as well as the architecture and processing dynamics of the visual word recognition system.

title: THE EFFECT OF COGNATE WORDS ON LEXICAL ACCESS OF ENGLISH AS A THIRD LANGUAGE

description: Abstract In this paper, the results of an experimental study carried out in order to investigate the effect of triple cognates in the lexical access of speakers of English (L3), German (L2), and Brazilian Portuguese (L1) is presented. Participants performed a reading task, containing 60 experimental sentences with the following critical words: triple cognates, double cognates between Brazilian Portuguese and English, and double cognates between German and English. Participants’ eye movements were recorded while they performed the task. The measures of first fixation and first reading pass times were analyzed. The results suggested that triple cognates were processed faster than their respective controls in first fixation (M: 264/311ms (cognate/control); p=0,03) and first pass (M: 407/448ms (cognate/control); p=0,05), which was interpreted as evidence of a nonselective lexical access and an integrated lexicon for the multilinguals’ languages. In addition, these results contribute to the literature of lexical access of multilinguals, favoring the view that all the languages of a multilingual are active even when the speaker intends to use only one language.

title: LOOKING FOR RELEVANCE INTO THE EYES: IN SEARCH OF INTERPRETIVE RESEMBLANCE IN TRANSLATION THROUGH GAZING DATA

description: Abstract This paper is situated at the translation process research branch of the Descriptive Translation Studies and aims at exploring some eye-tracking, key-logging and retrospective protocol experimental data (originally from Fonseca, 2016) building on the Relevance theory framework and its key-concept of interpretive resemblance in translation (cf.Gutt, 2000; Alves, 1995). It aims at identifying and discussing instances of optimal interpretive resemblance and the expected balance between processing effort and cognitive effects in translating. The data was collected at the Laboratory for Experimentation in Translation (LETRA-UFMG), Brazil, and for this exploratory study the subject chosen was a professional translator who translated a short popularization of science text from English into Portuguese with no external support and no time pressure to accomplish the task. Tobii T-60 eyetracker, Tobii Studio and Translog II, besides written retrospective protocols, were used as the main methodological tools for data collection and analyses. After carrying out discussions and some qualitative and quantitative analyses, hypotheses were raised proposing challenging questions for future research on translation processes and eventually cognitive studies and translation competence and expertise.

title: HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE OTHER? MULTILINGUALISM AND TRANSLINGUALISM IN THE LATIN AMERICAN ROAD MOVIE

description: Abstract This article examines language as an understudied aspect of the road movie idiom. After a brief sketch of the specific features of the Latin American road movie, it explains why language occupies a central place in many of its stories. First, attention is paid to cases in which this centrality is expressed a contrario by depicting characters who hardly express themselves (a strategy referred to as “mutism”). Subsequently, the article distinguishes between two basic ways in which road movies deal with language: multilingualism and translingualism. It uses the first term to refer to situations in which road movie characters belonging to different linguistic communities make a serious attempt to understand each other, yet end up finding that they are not able to convey what they really mean. The second term is used for situations in which characters assume language barriers between them will be too high to allow true communication; however, in the end they discover they are able to communicate anyway. The article concludes that the two ways of dealing with language – illustrative of a particularist and a universalist view on language respectively –suggest the ambivalence of communication in general.

title: SUBTITLING FOR STREAMING PLATFORMS: NEW TECHONOLOGIES, OLD ISSUES

description: Abstract This article discusses part of the translation process for subtitling on streaming platforms. Based on the theoretical framework of Translation Studies, more specifically Audiovisual Translation, we provide a state-of-the-art survey of the field, given that streaming is a new technology with implications for the field of translation. As a study corpus, the first season of the Netflix series Outlander is analyzed, focusing on the subtitle review process and reading speed. It was observed that technological innovations seem to reinforce old issues, such as the belief in total fidelity.

title: AUDIOVISUAL TRANSLATION: STUDIES ON READING OF SUBTITLING FOR DEAF AND HARD-OF-HEARING

description: Abstract This paper is a literature review on research conducted by members of the group LEAD (Subtitling and Audio description) from the State University of Ceará (UECE) on reading of subtitles by deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers of audiovisual media. These studies are within the theoretical and methodological framework of Acessible Audiovisual Translation (AAVT) and seek a model of Subtitling for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (SDH) that meets the needs of deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, contributing to the training of subtitlers and to the accessibility of Brazilian audiovisual media. Likewise, our objective has been to explore how subtitling parameters, validated by the literature of this field, influence the processing of subtitles by deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. The methodologies of these studies range from exploratory to experimental ones based on eye tracking. The most recent results have showed that deaf viewers can process subtitles at what is considered to be a fast rate (180 words per minute) if the parameter of segmentation between line breaks takes place at the highest syntactic node possible, according to what has been attested by the theorists Karamitroglou and Diaz Cintas and Remael.
