Mala gora pri Ribnici – mitološko izročilo v prostoruMala Gora (Little Mountain) by Ribnica – Cosmic Myth in Mythical Landscape
No full textThis article presents ethnographical research of mountain the Mala gora (Small Mountain) located in southern Slovenia in the vicinity of Ribnica, Dobrepolje, Velike Lašče and Kočevje. Local legends and myths are preserved about the mythical landscape of Mala gora, which can be connected with ideas such as the world axis, perceptions of connections with the underworld and the main Slavic myth. Author presents new findings related to Perun and Mokosh, which are preserved in local names as Makoše village, water spring Perin and various supernatural beings connected with these perceptions. Folk beliefs that are connected with this landscape can be also compared to pre-Slavic myths and beliefs of Mother Earth
An Early-Mediaeval winged spearhead from Fruška Gora
No full textResearchers have referred to the winged spearhead found on
the southern slopes of Fruška Gora for more than 50 years. This
paper fully describes and analyses this winged spearhead for the
first time. The author briefly discusses the possible places of the
spearhead’s origin, compares the spearhead with morphologically
and technologically similar artefacts found all over Europe and places it within relevant typological-chronological classifications.
Based on more or less close analogies, the Fruška Gora
spearhead is dated to between the middle of the 9th century and
the beginning of the 11th. The lack of archaeological context calls
for caution when it comes to dating and interpreting this artefact
and placing it in the course of known history
Mahovna flora Prokletij (Srbija in Črna Gora)
No full textThe author presents the results of his own research of flora of mosses (Musci) of the part of Prokletije Mts. that lies in Serbia and in Montenegro. He mentions 268 species for the part, which so far remained briofloristically practically unknown; among them 10 species are new records for Serbia and 44 for Montenegro. In his horological analysis, the author specifically emphasises the large proportion of »northern elements« (arctic alpine, subarctic-subalpine, boreal-montane, boreal-temperate), which migrated into the Prokletije Mts. in the Pleistocene.Avtor predstavlja rezultate lastnih raziskovanj flore listnatih mahov (Musci) tistega dela gorskega masiva Prokletije, ki leži v državi Srbija in Črna gora. Za predel, ki je bil doslej briofloristično praktično nepoznan, navaja 268 vrst; med njimi je prvič zabeleženih 10 vrst za Srbijo in 44 za Črno goro. V horološki analizi avtor posebej poudarja velik delež »severnih elementov« (arktično-alpinski, subarktično-subalpinski, borealno-montanski, borealno-temperatni), ki so se priselili v Prokletije v pleistocenu
New Look on the Toponyms Valdai and Gora-Valdai
No full textThe article criticizes the traditional and widespread view on the etymology of the toponyms Valdai in the Novgorod region and Mount Valdai (Finnish Harjavalta) on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, west of St. Petersburg. A number of arguments are given that refute the opinion about a single Balto-Fennic proto-form (*Vaara-valda ‘Mountainous region’) for these toponyms. Instead, the author substantiates that Gora-Valdai goes back to a two-basic personal name borrowed by the Baltic Finns from the ancient Germans; this ancient Germanic anthroponym was previously reconstructed as *Harja-waldaz and continues in English Harold and other similar names. The name Valdai of Novgorod, which is proved to be the original lake name that later transferred to the adjacent villages and the surrounding area, has a completely different origin. The author offers two etymological solutions: from Baltic *Vald-oj- (Balto-Slavic vald- ‘to manage’) or from Balto-Fennic *Valda-järvi meaning ‘Full-flowing, large lake’ or ‘Main lake’. Relying on some common features (meaning of the base, features of the Slavic adaptation of the toponym), the author is inclined to the Balto-Fennic version, which fully corresponds to the natural geographical characteristics of Lake Valdai. From the first half of the 18th c., the Novgorod toponym Valdai impacted on the formation of the name Gora-Valdai of the village to the west of St. Petersburg. Besides, thanks to Patriarch Nikon’s activity in the foundation of the Iversky Bogoroditsky Monastery from the middle of the 17th c., the names of the Valdai Lake and the adjacent village (now the city of Valday) acquired all-Russian recognition, which led to their spread to territories remote from the Novgorod province. Thanks to transfers, secondary toponyms of Valdai appeared in Karelia, Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, and Ivanovo regions
AN ASYMPTOTIC METHOD IN ASYMMETRIC ROTOR THEORY: EXTENSION TO ANGULAR MOMENTUM OPERATORS OF HIGHER ORDER.
No full textSupported by the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories, Office of Aerospace Research. Edwin K. Gora, J. Mol, Spectry. 16, 378 (1965).Author Institution: Physics Department, Providence College Providence,An asymptotic previously used to derive explicit formulas for asymmetric rotor eigenvalues in the domain of high J and low K has been extended to the derivation of the corresponding formulas for various angular momentum operators of higher order. Such formulas should be useful in the theory of higher order centrifugal distortion effects in asymmetric rotor molecules, but might also be of interest in applications to some other problems. The method is based on the possibility of approximating matrices of the type encountered in the quantum mechanics of angular momentum by matrices generated by Mathieu-type differential equations. Asymptotic methods available in the theory of such differential equations are then used to derive asymptotic expansion formulas for the eigenvalues of the equations. These formulas approximate the desired matrix eigenvalues
ASYMPTOTIC METHODS IN ASYMMETRIC ROTOR

Paper C, 208-1. S. Golden, J. Chem. Phys. 16, 78 (1948). R. B. Dingle and H. W. Mueller, Journal fuer Mathematik, 211, 11 (1962).Author Institution: Physics Department, Providence College“Asymptotic methods for the treatment of asymmetric rotor problems in the domain of high J and low have been generalized in two ways: (1) A non-linear differential equation with periodic coefficients takes the place of the linear Mathieu type equation, which has first been used by to calculate approximately asymmetric rotor eigenvalues, and which has served as starting point to derive asymptotic formulas in reference 1. The characteristic matrix of this non-linear equation is infinite, but its elements are exactly identical with the elements of a reduced form of the asymmetric rotor matrix within their domain of definition. (2) A procedure permitting extension of asymptotic expansions for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Mathieu equation into the domain of noticeable symmetry type splitting has recently been developed by Dingle and This procedure is now adapted to the derivation of the corresponding asymptotic formulas in asymmetric rotor theory for energy levels and transitions for which symmetry-type splittings are noticeable but still small. The inclusion of such symmetry type corrections extends appreciably the domain of applicability of the asymptotic methods.
Contribution to some structural characteristics of the names from Old Montenegro (Crna Gora) Census, 1570
No full textOf all preserved materials on censuses in Old Montenegro (Crna Gora), this is the third (first two of those are from the year of 1521 and 1523). First two censuses were also published, while the third as the photocopy of the original document, author used, trying to survey some typological manifestations and differences between two earlier censuses.
This is how the author comments on following facts evidenced in censuses:
1. Patronyms of the noun — and adjective — form (example Vukdrag Nikolić and Vukdrag Nikolin); both types are very common in 1570 census.
2. Names, like Đuro, Dabo, which declension is recognizible in patronyms like Đurović; these names are more evidenced in 1570 than in 1521/3, but rather in Southern then in Northern part of Old Crna Gora.
3. New item in 1570 census is also the name Ras(l)av, which pushed into the background form Rados(l)av while in North there exist both of these names.
4. Name derived from above mentioned is also new, and it can be read as Raslavac, although Turkish graphy is unprecise. This derivative is also characteristic for the South part only.
5. Patronyms derived from Ras(1)av, there were evidenced in all varieties: Raslavićx 4, Raslaljić x 7, Rasaljić x 1, Rasalj x 1.
Speaking of the last patronym-type, author developed a theory on onomastyc status of the forms from Turkish censuses, finishing with graphies that could be transliterated as -sal, and read both like -salj and -sal. Here the author prefer the first solution.
R. Bošković once (1975) identified these forms as personal names (not as adjectives), finishing with -salj, and then M. Šimundić, in 1989, evidenced those as personal names finishing with -sal (not as possesives, too).
The author here finds that materials used by Bošković and Šimundić (from Turkish censuses) do not prove these possesives turned out to the personal names, since these materials, mostly, content these examples in the position where it is signed the father's name (except in those rare cases where we can consider it as an error in writing), so they can be treated in adjective way, that is: Bogdan (son) Vukosalj means the same as Bogdan (son) Vukosavljev.
It is probable the possibility of the names finishing with sal and -sal to become traditional, and it is possible to conclude about the mechanism of their forming, but the author is also of the opinion that of such evidences serious researches are yet about to come, because the materials took from Turkish censuses cannot testify such transformation processes
Decoupling and iterative approaches to the control of discrete linear repetitive processes
No full textThis paper reports new results on the analysis and control of discrete linear repetitive processes which are a distinct class of 2D discrete linear systems of both systems theoretic and applications interest. In particular, we first propose an extension to the basic state-space model to include a coupling term previously neglected but which arises in some applications and then proceed to show how computationally efficient control laws can be designed for this new model
Late baroque sculptor Joseph Straub and his works for the Church of Saint Mary in Sladka gora, Slovenia
No full textThis article presents the Church of Saint Mary in Sladka gora in
Styria, Slovenia. It focuses on baroque sculptor Joseph Straub and his works
for the church. I start with the historical circumstances regarding the building
of the church and its furnishing, presenting state of research. In the second part,
I focus on the façade sculptures and provide their iconographic and stylistic
analysis. The latter conforms that their author is indeed late baroque sculptor
Joseph Straub. Furthermore, I also analyse the other works in the church
attributed to this sculptor – sculptures from the pulpit as well as sculptures on
the organ case
