Database for: Excavations at Tall Jawa, Jordan: Volume 3, The Iron Age Pottery
No full textThis is a Microsoft Access database of imagery, drawings, and photos accompanying Excavations at Tall Jawa, Jordan: Volume 3, The Iron Age Pottery by P.M. Michèle Daviau. The text and database present a detailed typology of the Iron Age pottery excavated from 1989 to 1995. Together, they represent an in-depth analysis of the forming techniques employed to make each type of vessel from bowls to colanders, cooking pots to pithoi.
The digital archive is a work in progress by the author. The archive currently holds the collection for Excavation Field D. Upon completion, it will include seven collections, each one consisting of a database of diagnostic sherds and vessels as well as the images of these pots as .tiff files. Databases are related to excavation fields and are designed for meaningful searches: A, B, C-east, C-west, A-east (associated with C-west), D and E
Our Mission and our Values' : an approach to Russian Banks' Communication Strategies
No full textThis paper looks at the mission statements of Russian banks posted on their websites with the aim of identifying recurrent discursive strategies in an intercultural perspective. Starting from the surveyof twenty websites of Russian banks, the author attempts to highlight the linguistic and visual treatment of mission and value statements, where there seems to emergean interesting mix of both "globalized" and local, culture-specific, features
La politica linguistica nei paesi della CSI
No full textThe paper deals with language status and language use in post Soviet Republics. After a brief introduction to Soviet language policy, the author deals with data from the National census, about the number of Russian speakers in these areas in the years 1989-1991 and in 2004-2006. Other data regard the use of Russian language, as opposed to/or in accordance with titular languages, in different social spheres (education, media, institutions)

Neposredstvennyj institucional’nyj diskurs : Opyt prjamoj linii s prezidentom V.V. Putinym : Diskursivnye strategii
No full textThe paper analyses a specific kind of institutional discourse: the Russian Direct Line. It aims to give accunt of interactional strategies used by subordinate partecipants of the given interaction. The author tries to investigate how "naif" interviewers, who are not familiar with strategies regulating a neutral or "neutralistic" position, manage to avoid possibile consequences of their own speech acts, by using pragmatic and metapragmatic acts, basically aimed at downgrading

On the Computation of 16-QAM and 64-QAM Performance in Rayleigh-Fading Channels
No full textSUMMARY Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) schemes are attractive in terms of bandwidth efficiency and offer a number of subchannels with different integrities via both Gaussian and Rayleigh-fading channels, Specifically, the 16-QAM phasor constellation has two, while the 64-QAM possesses three such subchannels, which become dramatically different via Rayleigh-fading channels. The analytically derived bit error rate (BER) formulae yield virtually identical curves with simulation results, exhibiting adequate BERs for the highest integrity subchannels of both 16-QAM and 64-QAM to be further reduced by forward error correction coding (FEC). However, the BERs of the lower integrity subchannels require fading compensation to reduce their values for FEC techniques to become effective. This property creates ground for a variety of carefully matched, embedded mobile transmission schemes of different complexities. The practical implementation of such an embedded scheme is demonstrated by a low-cost, low-complexity and low consumption 50 kBd mobile video telephone scheme offering adequate speech and image quality for channel SNRs in excess of about 20 dB via Rayleigh-fading channels. key words: QAM theory; modulation for microcellular fading channels
On the outcomes of 20 years of emigre studies: A harsh review [Review: Birman M.A. P.M. Bitsilli (1879–1953). Life and Work. Moscow, Vodolei, 2018]
No full textThe latest book by M.A. Birman dedicated to the life and works of Professor Petr Mikhailovich Bitsilli, who headed the Department of Modern and Late Modern History of Sofia University in 1924–1948, was analyzed. Views contrary to those of the book’s author were expressed. One of the biggest disadvantages of this biographical research is the methodology used for gathering data. M.A. Birman’s work includes some testimonies from P.M. Bitsilli’s contemporaries and relatives, but no criticism of their words is given. This type of description reflects on the narrative research approach, i.e., when the author goes beyond the limits of the scientific exploration and turns the biography into a romance novel. It seems improper to agree with M.A. Birman on what concerns his idea to divide the life of P.M. Bitsilli into many periods of time, because it contradicts the established theories of considering P.M. Bitsilli’s writings as “all making up a whole piece”. In the book, an attempt is made to completely cover all aspects of P.M. Bitsilli’s personal life story, but the published materials on this problem were incorrectly used by the author – some examples and questions were provided in the final part of this paper. The conclusion is that a new method is needed to comprehensively investigate the voluminous and diverse heritage of P.M. Bitsilli
