The reconstruction of the damage to the dikes by the flood of February 1953 presented an enormous task. From the hydraulic engineer's point of view the most interesting part was the closing of the major or tidal breaches, that is to say, the places where a dike for a certain length was totally destroyed and where, therefore, the tides had free entrance to the inundated interior, scouring out deep gullies. This called into action the resources of tidal hydraulics, theoretical considerations, and model experiments.

Corpus Data

Multiword expressions – i.e. phraseological units – like idioms and collocations are one of the most interesting part of every language. In this article, I investigate phraseological units from a lexicographical point of view. I discuss the theoretical and methodological basis of phraseography as a discipline that includes aspects of lexicography, phraseology, corpus linguistics and theories of language learning. I demonstrate the importance of corpora as a source for the lexicographer and the use of corpus data. I also discuss the requirements for the lexicographical treatment of phraseological units by the compilation of a phraseological database for language learners in relation to their assumed needs that have already been described in detail.

Classical Mechanism

A new type of enzyme kinetic mechanism is suggested by which catalysis may be viewed as a chain reaction. A simple type of one-substrate/one-product reaction mechanism has been analysed from this point of view, and the kinetics, in both the transient and the steady-state phases, has been reconsidered. This analysis, as well as literature data and theoretical considerations, shows that the proposed model is a generalization of the classical ones. As a consequence of the suggested mechanism, the expressions, and in some cases even the significance of classical constants (Km and Vmax.), are altered. Moreover, this mechanism suggests that, between two successive enzyme-binding steps, more than one catalytic act could be accomplished. The reaction catalysed by alcohol dehydrogenase was analysed, and it was shown that this chain-reaction mechanism has a real contribution to the catalytic process, which could become exclusive under particular conditions. Similarly, the mechanism of glycogen phosphorylase is considered, and two partly modified versions of the classical mechanism are proposed. They account for both the existing experimental facts and suggest the possibility of chain-reaction pathways for any polymerase.

Theoretical Considerations

The purpose of this study was to theorise on a composer’s corporeality from the point of view of the embodied, enacted, embedded, and extended cognition paradigm, in the light of empirical data that cover the compositional process of creating one particular piece of music. The data include related manuscripts and the composer’s verbal account of those manuscripts. Composition is seen as an interactive coping behaviour and an adaptive process of knowledge acquisition and production in a sonic environment. In this epistemic process, the composer begins working with various kinds of ideas: sounds, timbres, musical structures, experiences, philosophical thoughts. They explicate these intuitive or reflective embodied representations through different kinds of externalisations, such as musical gestures, narratives, visualisation, and finally, musical notation. This study substantiates the way in which embodied, extrabodily, embedded, and enactive processes constitute the cognitive acts of a composer, usually considered as almost purely mental. It shows how musical composition may not only be grounded but also depend on embodied knowledge that the score only partly conveys. In addition to helping composers and performers communicate in real life, the findings may be useful for identifying the different cognitive premises and circumstances that can result in discrepancies between the ways in which they interpret musical notation.

Theoretical Considerations

The behavior of wave propagation, as well that of isolated waves as that of self-sustained activity, in excitable media is characterized by the dispersion relation of the system. For the Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ)-reaction as by far the best described system, a number of theoretical considerations and experimental investigations do exist. From the theoretical point of view the dispersion relation of the BZ-reaction has two branches, an upper "fast" or stable branch typified by singular solutions and a lower "slow" branch whose solutions are regular, with a connection between the two branches, defining the smallest possible period and the absolute refractory period of the system. Experimental data are usually located on the upper branch giving higher propagation velocity at increasing period. Only one set of results was published in the early 1970s with velocity being an increasing function of frequency. This set of data was stated to be "difficult to believe" in later papers. We now present here a more detailed study of a BZ-system with a dispersion relation with an increasing velocity at decreasing period, verifying the existence of an "inverse" dispersion relation at least in the nonstationary gels we have used.

Apocryphal Texts

The article deals with the relationship between Christian apocryphal texts and hagiographic texts. It starts with theoretical considerations about the meaning of text interpretation. Their result is that it should not be asked whether a text is ‘apocryphal’ or ‘hagiographic’, but whether it can be interpreted ‘reasonably’ as apocryphal or hagiographic literature. Thus, one and the same text can be understood reasonably from one point of view as apocryphal, and from another point of view as hagiographic. Those theoretical thoughts are illustrated with the analysis of the figure of ‘Veronica’ in the Acts of Pilate, the so called Mors Pilati, as well as in the Sixth Station of the Cross.

Statistical Viewpoint

With reference to Scales and Snieder’s (1998) discussion of “what is noise,” I would like to offer a statistical interpretation of this question. Any experiment involving measurement will have variation—this is what allows us to make inference upon the results—and it is the partition of this variation which is key to the noise question. From an experimenter’s point of view, noise may be “that part of the data (variation) which we choose not to explain,” although Scales and Snieder are correct to point out that we must then have a model to explain the rest, since a purely statistical one (i.e., assuming that the remainder is in some way “random”) may not be adequate. From a statistical viewpoint however, noise may be better described as “that part of the variation which we cannot explain with a parsimonious deterministic model” and the signal is then the interesting part of the overall model.

The paper’s subject is highly topical, is very interesting from scientific point of view but also very complex. The authors propose to study the elastic structures of the cranes on basis of the similarity criteria, for this purpose the two basis criteria are shortly presented: Hooke and Cauchy. One underlines that the gantry and the half gantry cranes work outside, being subjected to actions as time changing loads; under these circumstances one needs a special check of the crane’s stability. The basic study is that one based on the analysis with finite elements, using ABAQUS software – an advanced software with highly efficient possibilities of modeling. By graphical post processing are presented the equivalent fields of stresses von Mises and of deformations.

The article analyzes basic scientific approaches to the interpretation of the terms of «linguoculturology», «linguistic conceptology» and «linguistic concept». We consider the relationship of language and culture, and the role of the term «concept» in this regard. In the article we structured the term «concept» from a linguocultural point of view. These theoretical considerations are the basis for the study of ways and mean of forming a conceptual image of Kyiv Rus in the French medieval linguistic cultural picture of the world. The aim of this article is to examine the influence of the country’s image on shaping the bilateral relations between Ukraine and France in a linguocultural conceptual aspect. The article reveals the main semantic and linguoconceptual aspects of medieval French culture. It shows the links between historical and actual aspects of the conceptual sphere in the formation of public opinion in contemporary international relations. Despite the increasing interest of the scholars in the influence that the image of country may have on bilateral relations, this topic has been under‐researched. This article presents the author’s insights based on theoretical and empirical studies that could shed some new light on this important topic. By looking at the «linguocultural» aspect of the relationship between Kyiv Rus and France in the Medieval times the article gives a basic analysis of the process of country image formation since the tenth century and its impact on present times. The article also provides a basis for further linguistic research of this topic.
