Premiere Partie

Guillén de Castro in his Mocedades del Cid presents us with a characterization of his hero which differs radically from the Cid of the Romancero and the Crónicas. He transforms the renowned medieval warrior into a courtly knight. Ernest Mérimée in the Première Partie des Mocedades del Cid de Guillen de Castro (Toulouse, 1890, page cvi) takes note of the metamorphosis and attributes it to the playwright's inventive genius. But in his brochure, The Cid Theme in France in 1600 (Minneapolis, 1920), Gustave L. Van Robsbroeck casts some doubt on this point of view by bringing to light a novel by Antoine Du Périer, La Eayne et l'Amour d'Arnoul et de Clayremonde (Paris, 1600), containing features similar to the Castro story including the element of courtliness, which, of course, obviously antedate the play. His conclusion is that “There existed a common source—probably a Spanish source—for both the Eayne et L'Amour d'Arnoul et de Clayremonde and Las Mocedades del Cid” (p. 15). Barbara Matulka further enlarges on the subject in her The Cid as a Courtly Hero: from Amadis to Corneille (New York, 1928, pp. 6–40). She notes an early treatment of the courtly Cid theme in Feliciano de Silva's Florisel de Niquea (1532–51) representing books x, xi, and xii of the Amadis series, and cites Jimenez de Ayllon's Los Famosos y Herôicos Hechos del Invencible Cavallero el Cid Ruy Diaz de Bivar (1568) to show that the Cid had been introduced to court prior to the Mocedades and to point out that Ayllon's epic contains situations and details similar to those found in the play. These works, Miss Matulka claims, have been influential through intermediary links between them and our dramatic piece. There is no question but that she is partially correct in her contention, and this we shall endeavor to prove through the discussion of materials which she failed to utilize at the time she made her investigation.

Classification Of Gliomas

Brain tumors encompass a diverse group of neoplasias arising from different cell lineages. Tumors of glial origin have been the subject of intense research because of their rapid and fatal progression. From a clinical point of view, complete surgical resection of gliomas is highly difficult. Moreover, the remaining tumor cells are resistant to traditional therapies such as radio- or chemotherapy and tumors always recur. Here we have revised the new genetic and epigenetic classification of gliomas and the description of the different transcriptional subtypes. In order to understand the progression of the different gliomas we have focused on the interaction of the plastic tumor cells with their vasculature-rich microenvironment and with their distinct immune system. We believe that a comprehensive characterization of the glioma microenvironment will shed some light into why these tumors behave differently from other cancers. Furthermore, a novel classification of gliomas that could integrate the genetic background and the cellular ecosystems could have profound implications in the efficiency of current therapies as well as in the development of new treatments.

The Subject

The improvement in vitality is a subject of interest alike to the actuary and to the public statistician. It formed one of the topics for discussion at the Fourth International Congress of Actuaries held in New York in 1903, and papers were submitted by actuaries of different countries dealing with the subject mainly from the point of view of population statistics. The results of most direct interest to us were embodied in a paper by Mr. S. G. Warner On the Improvement in Longevity in the Nineteenth Century. They were based on the summarised returns of the Registrar-General's Reports for England and Wales for the years 1875 and 1900; and, while admitting the defects inherent in the data, Mr. Warner held that the statistics showed “a distinct decrease in the rate of “mortality as the century progresses; a decrease, on the whole, “so steady and symmetrical that it might fairly be looked on as a “settled and permanent tendency.

The Subject

The problem of the attitude of Judaism towards art and images, at the beginning of the Christian era, has again come to the forefront of scholarly enquiry as a result of the publication of the first volumes of E. R. Goodenough's monumental work, Jewish Symbols in the Greco-Roman Period (vols. 1–3, New York 1953; vol. 4, New York 1954). In these learned pages, every particle of evidence bearing on the subject is carefully considered, and the author emphatically confirms as fundamental to his main thesis the accepted view: that at least up to the destruction of Jerusalem in the year 70, there was a completely effective Rabbinic ban on any sort of iconographic representation for whatever purpose. (His striking conclusions with regard to the later period need not concern us here.) In this article, I would like to reconsider this matter from a slightly different point of view. I propose in it, however, to adopt a criterion which is nowadays becoming somewhat unusual: not only to confine myself to strictly contemporary testimony, but moreover to assume that the contemporaries meant exactly what they said.

Typological Classification

In this paper, we will aim at contributing to the linguistic characterization of the verb ter de/ter que [have to], pointing out some particularities that individualize it among the modal semi-auxiliaries of Portuguese. We will gather information from morphology, syntax, semantics and textual and discourse linguistics, also observed in examples collected from the CETEMPúblico corpus. The semi-auxiliary ter de, like dever [must], appears in the domain of necessity. Although the deontic reading prevails in several contexts, it is possible to find utterances of epistemic nature, external to the participant and even internal to the participant, following the typological classification proposed by van der Auwera and Plungian (1998). Its modal strength results from a maximum restriction of possible worlds (Kratzer 1981; 2012), being situated in the positive pole (certain/obligatory) of the modal verbs scale, which, in Portuguese, contemplates two other verbs, poder [can] and dever (Oliveira 1988). However, the prototypical strong obligation reading associated with ter de is only available in controllable by the subject situations and, even in these cases, the principle of politeness and the hedging effect can convert utterances with this semi-auxiliary into suggestions or recommendations, particularly in injunctive acts of a non-impositive nature and in certain expressive acts. From a syntactic point of view, and following a proposal outlined by Óscar Lopes (2005), we tried to evaluate the effects of the combination of ter de with different syntactic types of verbs, namely unaccusative verbs and unergative verbs. Besides the aspects mentioned above, it was necessary to consider criteria such as the aspectual class of the verb, the nature (impositional or not) of the discourse acts, and the intentionality and status of the interlocutors. As a rule, and taking into account the analysis of utterances from CETEMPúblico, unaccusative verbs combine with aspectual classes that predict an achievement and, in the face of the modal semiauxiliary ter de, they may activate readings that focus on needs determined by external or internal circumstances of the participant. Regarding unergative verbs, we see that the atelic verbs are present in predicates that configure processes and activate the reading of modality external to the participant, while the potentially telic verbs are articulated with accomplishments and may also assume a modal reading external to the participant. Careful observation of other examples may, however, open the way to new modal readings

Sprayed Coatings

Abstract Thermal Barriers Coatings (TBC) are mass-produced in several industrial fields: aeronautic, automotive or energetic industries. All production requires the same constant level of fest and reproducible quality control at the lowest cost. The metallographic process is the primary way to evaluate thermally sprayed coatings but it must be both highly very repeatable and fast, especially when metallography is used to keep the production at a constant level. Therefore the management and the organization of a metallographic laboratory is of prime importance in order to reduce the cost and to provide a quality structure. The present approach to the whole chain of characterization is based on the user's point of view. Generally speaking, metallographic control of widely used parts often seems to be considered to be an uninteresting and obtuse subject, since it has been in practice for so long. Despite the lack of the prestige associated with the subject, optimization of an appraisal post can provide very concrete and more importantly profitable, results.

The amalgamation and separation of Spanish words is an orthographic feature that should be taken into account to characterize an old grammatical text because it contributes to a better understanding of some grammatical and linguistic questions. Regardless of the level of modernization edition of an old grammatical text, the phenomena of amalgamation and separation should be explained, since we believe that it is possible to discover a set of frequent habits in the separation of words and that these can contribute to the immanent grammatical characterization of the text. This article will discuss summarily some problems of phraseologization and de-phraseologization from the fraseological and grammaticographic point of view (section 2), it will approach the subject seen as a mere orthographic problem (section 3), and conclude with some considerations from the perspective of the edition of texts (section 4). The main purpose of this study (section 5) is to explain the preparatory work on which the criteria for the critical edition of a Spanish grammar for Italians of the 16th century can be based.

Abstract G6PD deficiency of the common type (GdA- and GdMediterranean) results in extremely mild chronic hemolysis. In contrast, 65 males (from 47 unrelated families) have been reported with a different syndrome of severe chronic hemolysis associated with a superficially similar deficiency in the activity of G6PD. Five new such patients (from four unrelated families) are reported. Biochemical characterization of the erythrocyte G6PD from these patients indicates that these four mutant enzymes are different from each other and from previously reported variants. These new mutants have tentatively been named G6PD New York, G6PD Englewood, G6PD Rotterdam and G6PD Den Haag. The congenital nonspherocytic hemolytic anemias associated with G6PD deficiency appear to be an extremely heterogeneous group from the point of view of biochemical kinetics. The relationships between the clinical syndrome and the various biochemical enzyme characteristics are discussed in the light of the information presently available.

SummaryIn the Marinelli chair, a geometry widely used in whole body counting, the lower part of the leg is seen quite inefficiently by the detector. The present paper describes an attempt to modify the standard chair geometry to minimise this limitation. The subject sits crossed-legged in the “Buddha Posture” in the standard chair. Studies with humanoid phantoms and a volunteer sitting in the Buddha posture show that this modification brings marked improvement over the Marinelli chair both from the point of view of sensitivity and uniformity of spatial response.

The Impact

Gaining English language learning effectively has been discussed all years long. Similarly, Learners have various troubles outcomes in the learning process. Creating a joyful and comfortable situation must be considered by learners. Thus, the implementation of effective learning strategies is certainly necessary for English learners. This descriptive study has two purposes: first, to introduce the classification and characterization of learning strategies such as; memory, cognitive, metacognitive, compensation, social, and affective strategies that are used by learners in the classroom and second, it provides some questionnaires item based on Strategy of Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) version 5.0 that can be used to examine the frequency of students’ learning strategies in the learning process. The summary of this study explains and discusses the researchers’ point of view on the impact of learning outcomes by learning strategies used. Finally, utilizing appropriate learning strategies are certainly beneficial for both teachers and learners to achieve the learning target effectively.
