Theoretical Developments

Despite the large array of studies of the theoretical heritage of the German enlightener, this aspect has been most fully developed in the works of I.G. Gerder (article "Critical forests"), R. Ingarden (monograph "Research in aesthetics") and E. Basin (monograph "Art and communication"). In updating the potential of the semantic problematic of Laocoon, considerable assistance is provided by the recourse to studies in which the fruitfulness and relevance of this aspect of the Lessing tract is emphasized to one degree or another. There is an attempt to analyze, in one theoretical space, works on Lessing theory of signs. In order to identify the essence of the disagreement between I.G. Gerder and G.E. Lessing in the field of establishing boundaries between the kinds of art, special attention is paid to the consideration of Gerder concept of comparative analysis of painting, music and poetry, which is based on the difference of their ways of influence on the recipient – "in space", "in time "and" by force". In the process of analyzing Gerder's reflections, not only his critical attitude to the theory of signs developed by Lessing was considered, but also an attempt by the opponent of "Laokoon" author to justify the use of key concepts of metaphysics to compare the impact of different kinds of art. When comparing the views of E. Basin and R. Ingarden on the semantic aspect of "Laocoon", the debatable nature of their judgments about the characterization of the characters used in poetry by Lessing is identified. In addition, the article analyzes Lessing's thinking about the possibility of connecting different types of art, the organic combination of which depends on the specifics of the signs used by one or the other art, as well as emphasizes the productivity of the German thinker's idea. This aspect is revealed not only through the analysis of "Laokoon" in the works of E. Basin and R. Ingarden, but also by turning to the theoretical developments of E. Cassirer, B. Balash, A. Vartanova. Thus, the study of the semantic issues of Laokoon has shown the prominence of its conceptual landmarks for theoretical search, both in the field of aesthetics and art.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to establish a relationship between the type of wall connection used in the cast grates, which are part of the equipment operating in furnaces for heat treatment and thermal-chemical treatment, and stresses generated in these grates during the process of rapid cooling. The places where the grate walls are connected to each other are usually characterized by the thickness larger than the remaining parts of walls. Temperature variations in those places are responsible for the formation of hot spots, and in the hot spots temperature changes much more slowly. The type of wall connection shapes the temperature gradient in the joint cross-section, and hence also the value of thermal stresses generated during cooling. In this study, five different designs of the grates were compared; the difference in them was the type of the designed wall connection. The following design variants were adopted in the studies: X connections with and without holes, T connections with and without technological recesses, and R (ring) connection. Numerical analysis was performed to examine how the distribution of temperature changes in the initial phases of the cooling process. The obtained results served next as a tool in studies of the stress distribution in individual structures. The analysis were carried out by FEM in Midas NFX 2014 software. Based on the results obtained, the conclusions were drawn about the impact of different types of wall connections on the formation of thermal stresses in cast grates.

The Impact

Goo and Mackey (this issue) outline several apparent design flaws in studies that have compared the impact of different types of corrective feedback (CF). Furthermore, they argue that SLA researchers should stop comparing recasts to other types of CF because they are inherently different kinds of phenomena. Our response to their article addresses (a) the claim that the recast-learning relationship has been “settled,” (b) the misleading representation of our views on uptake, (c) the characterization of the CF comparison studies as being weak and invalid, and (d) Goo and Mackey’s recommendations concerning the most appropriate approach to investigating the effect of feedback on second language learning.

This is an English translation with some expansion of the article originally published in Japanese as a university bulletin in 2009. Previous research has found both differences and similarities between ijime in Japan and bullying in England. Bullying is often by pupils in different classes or higher year groups whom the victim does not know very well; ijime is often by victims’ classmates whom the victim knows very well. However, it has not been shown whether these differences are found for all types of bullying, or how they relate to friendships generally and the impact of differing school systems. We aimed to see whether previously found differences between ijime and bullying could be replicated, and, if so, whether they held for six different types of victimization, and whether friendship characteristics were consistent with explaining why they occur. To investigate the role of friendships and their location, 1036 Japanese and 931 English secondary school pupils participated in a comparative study of perceptions of bullying and ijime. The previous differences were confirmed and found to hold irrespective of type of bullying. Japanese pupils mainly formed friendships on a class basis, English pupils on a broader basis including pupils in different years. In school, English pupils spent much time in the playground with their friends and saw this as a likely venue for bullying, whereas Japanese pupils spent more time in the classroom and saw this as a likely venue for ijime. The difference in friendship formation, together with differences in the organization of class-based teaching in the two countries, are hypothesized to play a significant role in explaining some differences between bullying and ijime.

AbstractRecently a collaboration of LLNL and LBNL has constructed a second generation Compton coincidence instrument to study the non-proportionality of scintillators [1]. This device, known as SLYNCI (Scintillator Light-Yield Non-proportionality Characterization Instrument), has an over 30 time higher data collection rate than previous devices enabling complete characterization of a sample with less 24 hours of running time. Thus, SLYNCI enables a number of systematic studies of scintillators as many samples can be processed in a reasonable length of time. The studies include difference in non-proportionality between different types of scintillators, different members of the same family of scintillators, and impact of different doping levels. The results of such recent studies are presented here, including a study on of various alkali halides, and the impact of europium doping level in strontium iodide. Directions of future work will also be discussed.

The Impact

In the last five decades, Toni Morrison’s fiction has covered such intricate topics as the impact of the past on the present, the damage produced on bodies and minds by different types of abuses, and the power and perils of small communities. She revisits some of those themes in her last novel, God Help the Child (2015), but this time zooms in more closely on the topics of child abuse and colorism – an internal racism of blacks against those with darker skin shades. God Help the Child proves innovative because the story is set in present-day fictional California, where the rate of child molestation – especially against black children – is just overwhelming. This article intends to show that, despite Morrison’s audacious narrative form and storytelling skills, there are some evident shortcomings in the structure and characterization of the novel that are not to be found in her earlier works.

The Impact

The cultivation of improved chickpea varieties has been increasing over time that kicks off the local varieties from the farmer’s field. Up-to-date socio-economic information regarding this issue is scanty in Bangladesh. That is why we analyze the profitability of improved chickpea variety and assess the impact of its cultivation on the livelihood of chickpea farmers in the high Barind region of Bangladesh. The values of benefit-cost ratio depict that the improved variety is more profitable in comparison to local chickpea variety; specifically, the benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of improved chickpea production is 1.87, while it is only 1.66 for local chickpea. To understand the wellbeing of chickpea farmers, the multidimensional livelihood index (MLI) following sustainable livelihood framework of the Department for International Development (DFID) is used, which constitutes the asset pentagon of five capitals namely human, physical, natural, financial and social capital. The MLI of improved and local chickpea growers are 0.51 and 0.39 respectively which belong in the middle livelihood category. Meanwhile, the MLI reflects that the improved variety cultivars are in a better livelihood condition than the local variety growers. Among all the five capitals of the MLI, the difference between these two groups is the largest in the case of social capital followed by financial capital. Since both groups have achieved far less MLI values than 1, the recommendation is therefore to ensure different types of facilities for the development of people of high Barind tract as well as increasing the production of improved chickpea.

The Impact

Squalls are mesoscale sudden wind-speed increases that can occur worldwide and are a design driver for FPSO systems in areas the other design environmental conditions are relatively benign, e.g. offshore West Africa. Squalls are transient winds which rapidly reach a peak wind speed (up to 50 m/s) and then decay to low speeds in a span of 60 to 90 minutes. As squalls are transient phenomena traditional steady-state analysis techniques cannot be used for the global analysis or the development of the extreme response estimates. This paper focuses on the characterization of the squall environment and the impact of various parameters on the response of FPSOs. The responses of both spread and turret moored FPSOs are presented and the difference in response is discussed. The paper then focuses on a parametric study on a representative single degree of freedom model of a spread-moored FPSO with an emphasis on the estimation of the extreme response and its dependence on sample size.

Approximal Surfaces

BACKGROUND: The morphology of the retention tooth often does not correspond with the required design; hence there is often an indication for enamel recontouring or other restorative procedures.AIM: The study aimed to determine the impact of changing the path of insertion of the prosthesis by reshaping the anatomical and morphological structures of the natural teeth predetermined for the retention of the prosthesis.MATERIAL AND METHODS: The group of 40 patients with Class II, Subclass 1 according to Kennedy was formed, and 120 approximal surfaces of retention teeth were obtained. Two different types of prostheses were made on the models: one group in the zero point position of the model, and another group in the zero position of the model, with changing of the direction of input at an angle of 2˚.RESULTS: The difference between the established and theoretical normal distribution of frequencies was tested with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Lilliefors tests (r < 0.10; r < 0.01). The first group showed a retention force of 0.08 N. In the second group the retention force was 0.94 N.CONCLUSION: It could be concluded that the change in the path of insertion of the dental prosthesis with conservative restorations as composite inlays, as well as the accurate extension of the prosthesis onto guiding plane surfaces, will undoubtedly increase the retention force of the prosthesis.

Contraction joints in rigid (concrete) pavements are required to permit expansion of each monolithic section of roadway. At higher speeds, the major source of highway noise is attributed to vehicle tire/roadway interaction. Current concerns about limiting the impact of highway traffic noise, has forced transportation agencies to consider strategies to control noise generated by tire/roadway interaction. Within this work the difference in noise generated by 1/4 versus 3/8-inch joint widths is conducted. The study focuses on passenger vehicles including a sedan and a light duty van/truck. Both vehicle in-cabin and roadside noise levels are measured for vehicle speeds of 50, 60, and 70 miles per hour. For the sedan, the minimum and maximum observed in-cabin differences were determined to be 1.08 and 1.82 dB(A), respectively. Minimum and maximum observed roadside differences are 1.19 and 2.58 dB(A), respectively. Van tests resulted in minimum and maximum observed in-cabin differences of 0.60 and 1.09 dB(A) and minimum and maximum observed roadside differences of 1.05 and 3.18 dB(A), respectively. This paper contains details of reference standards, test methods, and the results obtained.

The properties of AlPO4-5 with zeolite-like structure and amorphous aluminium phosphate modified by nickel and/or molybdenum (1 wt.% and 10 wt.%, respectively) have been studied using ESR and IR spectroscopy and catalytic testing in hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of thiophene. The chemical interaction between all components of catalysts with formation of polymolybdate structures is revealed. The impact of the support is reflected in the difference of composition of polymolybdates, and different interactions with the hydrogen sulfide eliminated in thiophene conversion. The selectivity of the thiophene conversion and adsorption of H2S eliminated depend on the method of introduction of components only for AlPO4-5.
