Grammar-Land Or, Grammar in Fun For The Children of Schoolroom-Shire
No full textGrammar-Land by M. L. Nesbitt is an allegorical story designed to teach English grammar to children in a "fun" way. Aimed at "the children of Schoolroom-shire," the book explains grammatical rules through events that take place in the fictional country of "Grammar-land". In this land, the Parts of Speech are personified as characters in a court ruled by Judge Grammar. The main characters include the wealthy Mr. Noun (with his family "Common" and "Proper"), his helper Mr. Adjective, the placeholder Mr. Pronoun, the "little Article" (A, An, The), and the powerful Dr. Verb. The story progresses through courtroom dialogues where these characters argue about their roles, importance, and relationships (such as Adjective's service to Noun or Pronoun's role in replacing Noun). Through this entertaining personification, Nesbitt aims to make complex grammar rules memorable and enjoyable for young learners.M. L. Nesbitt tarafından yazılan Grammar-Land (Dilbilgisi Ülkesi), çocuklara İngilizce dilbilgisini eğlenceli bir şekilde öğretmeyi amaçlayan alegorik bir hikayedir. Eser, "Schoolroom-shire" (Okul-bucağı) çocuklarına hitap eder ve dilbilgisi kurallarını "Grammar-land" adlı bir ülkede geçen olaylarla anlatır. Bu ülkede, "Sözcük Türleri" (Parts of Speech), Yargıç Grammar'ın (Yargıç Dilbilgisi) yönettiği bir mahkemede karakterler olarak kişileştirilmiştir. Ana karakterler arasında zengin Bay İsim (Mr. Noun) ve ailesi (Common ve Proper), onun yardımcısı Bay Sıfat (Mr. Adjective), yer tutucu Bay Zamir (Mr. Pronoun), küçük Article (A, An, The) ve güçlü Doktor Fiil (Dr. Verb) bulunur. Hikaye, bu karakterlerin kendi önemlerini, görevlerini ve birbirleriyle olan ilişkilerini (örneğin Sıfat'ın İsim'e hizmet etmesi veya Zamir'in İsim'in yerini alması) tartıştıkları diyaloglar ve mahkeme sahneleri üzerinden ilerler. Nesbitt, bu eğlenceli kişileştirme yöntemiyle, karmaşık dilbilgisi kurallarını çocuklar için akılda kalıcı ve keyifli hale getirmeyi amaçlar

Becoming “Holistically Indigenous”: Young Muslims and Political Participation in Canada
No full textWhile media and the government often focus on the supposed “radicalization” of Muslim youth in Canada, our research explores the more complicated and nuanced political identities among 20 young Canadian Muslims. Using semi-structured in-depth interviews with these youth in the Greater Toronto Area and in London, Ontario, we explore these young citizens' concepts of political participation; conceptions of the self as a political actor; formal, informal, and civic political involvement; and the relationship between their religious and Canadian identities. Our research is grounded in a positive and pluralistic politics of care, respect, and engagement. We treated Muslim youth as similar to other Canadian youth and designed our study guided by other contemporary research into Canadian youth and political participation. While our interviewees noted the impact of negative public discourse about Muslims and some experiences of racism, the research results revealed an overwhelming commitment to Canada and political engagement among Muslim youth, evidenced most fully by a high level of civic engagement

Geochemistry of the quaternary volcanic rocks of the northeast Japan arc
No full textMajor and trace-element data are presented for a series of lavas from 17 volcanic centres in the NE Japan arc. These represent a transect of the Quaternary arc from its volcanic front (type A volcanoes) in the east, across its central zone (type B) to its western margin (type C). Rocks range from basalt to dacite in composition and the variation is attributed to fractionation of plagioclase, mafic silicates and titanomagnetite. For comparative purposes trace-element data for each volcano are presented on a 55 wt.% SiO2 normalised basis. The volcanoes display the characteristic features of arc volcanism viz enrichment in large ion lithophile elements (Rb, Sr, Ba, K) and depletion in high field strength elements (Zr, Nb, Hf, Ta). Using these data and derived primary magma compositions (Tatsumi et al., 1983), mixing calculations give the percentages of fractionating mineral phases necessary to derive the 55 wt.% SiO2 liquids. These data together with published distribution coefficients allow the calculation of trace-element abundances in the primary magmas. Reciprocal trace-element plots indicate that irrespective of position with respect to the volcanic front, the elements, La, Ba, K, Sr, Nb, Y and Zr of the primary magmas all lie on a common line strongly suggesting that the melts are the products of varying degrees of melting of a common homogeneous source. However, those melts close to the volcanic front (type A) show anomalous Rb, Th and Pb values suggesting that their mantle source was enriched in these elements. Further calculations suggest that the HFS depletion is not due to retention by residual mineral phases but is a feature of the source. Thus the data suggest: (a) that the source of the arc volcanism was homogeneous; and (b) that the characteristic chemical features were an inherent feature of the source. Since Zr/Nb ratios in the source melts are close to those found in N-type MORB it is suggested that a major component of arc-volcanic source rocks was a depleted mantle of the type which has given melts of N-type MORB composition. LIL elements added to such a depleted source are derived by the loss of silica-rich aqueous fluids from the descending (subducting) slab. Such losses occur within the first 100 km and are fixed in the overlying mantle wedge. This contaminated material is transported down by drag-induced convection, producing a homogeneous, but metasomatised mantle within the melting zone. Diapiric uprise produced by small-scale melting, produces further melting, with the major control of melt chemistry being the degree of partial melting. Superimposed on this chemistry is a localised addition of Pb, Rb and Th in the source of those volcanoes nearest the volcanic front

Intramolecular energy transfer between oriented chromophores: High-resolution infrared spectroscopy of HCl trimer
No full textDetailed dynamical and structural information has been obtained for hydrogen-bonded (HCl)(3) clusters via high-resolution IR laser absorption spectroscopy in a supersonic slit expansion. Multiple rovibrational bands in an approximate to3000 cm-1 HCl stretch region have been assigned and analyzed for H Cl-35/H Cl-37 isotopomeric contributions, corresponding to excitation of (i) the degenerate antisymmetric HCl stretch in isotopically pure (H Cl-35)(3), (ii) high- and low-frequency components of the nearly degenerate HCl stretch in H Cl-37 (H Cl-35)(2), (iii) the low-frequency component of the corresponding HCl stretch in (H Cl-37)(2) H Cl-35. The isotopically pure (H Cl-35)(3) results are in good agreement with earlier diode-laser efforts. A simple exciton model for vibrational coupling between HCl subunits is presented that indicates rapid intramolecular energy flow (beta approximate to-1.89 cm-1, tau approximate to 2.8 ps) in the trimer ring, which is in good agreement with vibrationally mediated tunneling rates observed in the HCl dimer. Spectral analysis at slit jet resolution indicates a Deltanuapproximate to120 MHz homogeneous line broadening and an excited-state lifetime of approximate to1.3 ns. The data is consistent with intramolecular vibrational redistribution-induced opening of the trimer followed by true predissociation to either (HCl)(2)+HCl or 3HCl on a longer time scale.
