    Grammar-Land Or, Grammar in Fun For The Children of Schoolroom-Shire

    No full text
    Grammar-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.

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

Accurate vibrational term values, and rotational and centrifugal distortion constants are now known for the ground state (10)(10^{\circ}), and the van der Waals stretch (000)(00^{0}). the HF stretch (101)(10^{\circ}1), and combinations of the HF stretch with the van der waals stretch (101)(10^{\circ}1). the Σ\Sigma bend (120)(12^{\circ}0), the Π\Pi bend (1110)(11^{1}0). and the van der Waals stretch overtone (102)(10^{\circ}2). listed in order of increasing energy

    The sail-backed reptile Ctenosauriscus from the latest Early Triassic of Germany and the timing and biogeography of the early archosaur radiation

    Background Archosaurs (birds, crocodilians and their extinct relatives including dinosaurs) dominated Mesozoic continental ecosystems from the Late Triassic onwards, and still form a major component of modern ecosystems (>10,000 species). The earliest diverse archosaur faunal assemblages are known from the Middle Triassic (c. 244 Ma), implying that the archosaur radiation began in the Early Triassic (252.3–247.2 Ma). Understanding of this radiation is currently limited by the poor early fossil record of the group in terms of skeletal remains. Methodology/Principal Findings We redescribe the anatomy and stratigraphic position of the type specimen of Ctenosauriscus koeneni (Huene), a sail-backed reptile from the Early Triassic (late Olenekian) Solling Formation of northern Germany that potentially represents the oldest known archosaur. We critically discuss previous biomechanical work on the ‘sail’ of Ctenosauriscus, which is formed by a series of elongated neural spines. In addition, we describe Ctenosauriscus-like postcranial material from the earliest Middle Triassic (early Anisian) Röt Formation of Waldhaus, southwestern Germany. Finally, we review the spatial and temporal distribution of the earliest archosaur fossils and their implications for understanding the dynamics of the archosaur radiation. Conclusions/Significance Comprehensive numerical phylogenetic analyses demonstrate that both Ctenosauriscus and the Waldhaus taxon are members of a monophyletic grouping of poposauroid archosaurs, Ctenosauriscidae, characterised by greatly elongated neural spines in the posterior cervical to anterior caudal vertebrae. The earliest archosaurs, including Ctenosauriscus, appear in the body fossil record just prior to the Olenekian/Anisian boundary (c. 248 Ma), less than 5 million years after the Permian–Triassic mass extinction. These earliest archosaur assemblages are dominated by ctenosauriscids, which were broadly distributed across northern Pangea and which appear to have been the first global radiation of archosaurs

    A note on the computation of an actuarial Waring formula in the finite-exchangeable case

    Get PDF
    We present in this paper the actuarial Waring formula, which is used in several fields, like life-insurance or credit risk. In a particular framework where considered random variables are exchangeable, we show that some problems can occur when using this formula. We propose alternative recursions in order to improve the complexity of the calculations, and to cope with the numerical instability of the formula.

    Differential Acquisition of m-Sequences using Recursive Soft Sequential Estimation

    No full text
    In this contribution a novel sequential estimation method is proposed for the acquisition of mm-sequences. This sequential estimation method exploits the principle of iterative soft-in-soft-out (SISO) decoding for enhancing the acquisition performance, and that of differential pre-processing for the sake of achieving an enhanced acquisition performance, when communicating over various communication environments. Hence the advocated acquisition arrangement is referred to as the Differential Recursive Soft Sequential Estimation (DRSSE) acquisition scheme. The DRSSE acquisition scheme exhibits a low complexity, which is similar to that of an mm-sequence generator, while achieving an acquisition time that is linearly dependent on the number of stages in the mm-sequence generator. A low acquisition time is achieved with the advent of the property that the proposed DRSSE scheme is capable of determining the real-time reliabilities associated with the decision concerning a set of, say SS, consecutive chips. This set of consecutive chips constitutes the sufficient initial condition for enabling the local mm-sequence generator to produce a synchronized local despreading mm-sequence replica. Owing to these attractive characteristics, the DRSSE acquisition scheme constitutes a promising initial synchronization scheme for acquisition of long mm-sequences, when communicating over various propagation environments

    We prove here the following equation: ∑_(l+m=k,l,m≥0) ((α+l-1)¦l) ((β+m-1)¦m)=((α+β+k-1)¦k) and give its application to prove the reproductive property of the negative binomial distribution. These finite sum equation involving binomial coefficients and proof of the reproductive property are not known as far as the author knows.論文(Article)departmental bulletin pape
