Toponymical lexics in the pre-war period of A.T. Tvardovskiy’s creative work
No full textThe pre-war period (1926-1940) of A.T. Tvaedovskiy’s creative work, the great poet of the 20yh century, born in the Smolensk Region, is a period of his rising as an insuperable master of word, a people’s tribune, the time when the main traits of his poetry were developed and when his formation as a founder of the Smolensk Poetic School occurred. One of the central themes of the SPS poets, and first of all, A.T. Tvardovskiy himself, was the theme of “the minor” and “the big”. Motherland, which was materialized in significant motives through a system of toponyms. i.e. the names of geograpphical places. The article analyzes a system of macro- and mictrotoponyms and demonstrates their part in revealing of the thematical content of numerous pre-war poems (A Trip to Zagorye, 1939, Station Pochinok, 1936, and others), as well the first epical poem of the author Strana Muraviya (1936)
Recherche de sens et stratégies de soins chez les Mwalebeng de Pouebo (Nouvelle-Calédonie)
No full textLe rapport à la santé chez les populations kanak (Nouvelle-Calédonie) se comprend dans une complexité de relations entre humains et non-humains. La qualité des relations avec les membres de la famille, les clans, les autres, qu’ils soient humains ou non-humains, est une source de bien-être et de bonne santé. Prendre soin de soi repose sur le maintien de ces liens ainsi que sur divers savoirs thérapeutiques détenus par tous ou par des sachants spécialisés. Cependant, actuellement, le recours aux services de centres médico-sociaux est devenu quasi-systématique, délaissant ainsi les décoctions et les savoirs thérapeutiques traditionnels. Cet article basé sur une enquête de type ethnographique auprès des populations kanak de Mwalebeng (Pouebo) tente de montrer qu’au-delà des changements qui sont perçus et vécus dans le rapport à la santé, s’observe une permanence de schémas de pensée, comme la quête de sens face aux divers problèmes de santé rencontrés.The relationship to health among the Kanak (New Caledonia) must be interpreted in the context of complex relations between humans and non-humans. The quality of relationships with family members, clans, and others, whether human or non-human, are sources of well-being and good health. Taking care of oneself requires to maintain such links, and relies upon various therapeutic knowledge, be they shared by all or in the custody of local experts. However, at present, recourse to “medical-social centres” has become almost systematic, and traditional therapeutic knowledge and remedies are being abandoned. This article, based on an ethnographic survey of the Kanak of Mwalebeng (Pouebo), attempts to show that, beyond the changes that are perceived and experienced in relation to health, certain patterns of thought, such as the search for meaning in response to ill-health, are still present

Kinetics of epoxy-asphalt oxidation
No full textIn-depth understanding of the temperature effect on oxidative aging in epoxy-asphalt blends is needed to enable accurate predictions on material response through their service life. Details of the significance of developing prediction models and tools on oxidative aging of pavement materials are presented in a companion paper (Apostolidis et al., Oxidation Simulation of Thin Bitumen Film. AM3P). In this research, the chemical compositional changes of epoxy modified asphalt binders, with and without filler, were analysed after oven-conditioning by means of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. With the carbonyl and sulfoxide compounds as aging indices, the sensitivity of chemical compositional changes of bituminous and epoxy-based systems due to the applied temperatures was observed.Accepted Author ManuscriptPavement Engineerin
Constraint Propagation and Reverse Multi-Agent Learning
No full textThe development of multi-agent reinforcement learning has been largely driven by the question of how to design learning algorithms to reach some particular notion of optimality of strategies, e.g. Nash equilibria. The set of optimal strategies is not known before the execution of the learning algorithm,however we can often immediately identify a set of clearly undesirable outcomes. Therefore, we propose to consider a dual problem: given a collection of agent algorithms and a collection of unwanted strategy profiles, can one identify a setof starting strategies that invariably lead there? This leads us to study the algorithmic problem of backpropagation of con-straints defining the forbidden region by learning dynamics,through the lens of set-valued maps and interval arithmetics.Accepted author manuscriptInteractive Intelligenc
Signal Integrity in Pulse-train Excited Array Antennas in Time and Space - A Full TD Analysis
No full textSignal integrity in the far-field radiation from pulse-train excited array antennas is studied via full timedomain instruments. The disturbance in the received signal is related to the fidelity factor. At any point in our analysis, the disturbance is evaluated based on a reduced, well defined set of parameters: pulse parameters and pulse repetition rate – temporal dependence, and elementary radiator location – spatial dependence. Their effect is examined by means of illustrative numerical experiments. These results are expedient for enhancing the detectability of the signals radiated by pulse-train excited array antennas, as needed in wireless digital transfer.Accepted author manuscriptEEMS - GeneralTera-Hertz Sensin
