The morphology of –ly and the categorial status of ‘adverbs’ in English.
No full textThe author challenges the traditional assumption of derivational morphology which accords adverbial –ly derivational status and gives adverbs lexical category status on a par with nouns, verbs and adjectives.
The author argues that adverbial –ly, unlike its adjectival counterpart, is inflectional and adverbs ending in –ly are rather to be regarded as inflected adjectives while those adverbs not containing –ly are uninflected adjectives; “adverbs cannot be categorially distinct from adjectives” (p. 342-343)
Shear Strength Measurements in LY-12 Aluminium Alloy During Shock Loading
No full textLateral stress of LY-12 alummium alloy under plate impact shock loading was measured. Based on the measured data, the Hugoniot relation and shear strength were obtained. The result has demonstrated that the shear strenath of the tested material increases remarkably with the increasing longitudinal stress. This means that the assumption of constant shear strength usually adopted in shock stress calculation is not suitable for the present material

No full textCommunity-based tourism (CBT) is no longer a new form in many countries, including Vietnam. However, the approach of CBT in a sustainable manner, especially in coastal villages, where tourism has recently emerged as an alternative livelihood, has received little attention. This study explores the impact of tourism on the lives of the local community, the level of people’s participation in tourism, and the challenges of tourism development in the coastal commune of Nhon Ly, Binh Dinh province. By utilizing a qualitative method such as observation and semi-structured interviews with 19 villagers engaged in tourism, the results show that tourism contributes significantly to the lives of the residents in Nhon Ly (e.g., improving income, changing livelihoods from fishing to tourism, improving environmental awareness). However, tourism development has obstacles related to local people’s skills and knowledge working in tourism and their limited participation in tourism policy and planning. Other issues were related to the negative impacts of tourism on cultural-social and environmental aspects in Nhon Ly. Therefore, there is a need for comprehensive coordination among all tourism stakeholders, building long-term strategies to overcome barriers toward sustainable CBT development in the future.</div

Hydrogen Ly α and Ly β Radiances and Profiles in Polar Coronal Holes
No full textThe hydrogen Lya plays a dominant role in the radiative energy transport in the lower transition region, and is important for the studies of transition-region structure as well as solar wind origin. We investigate the Ly alpha profiles obtained by the Solar Ultraviolet Measurement of Emitted Radiation spectrograph on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory spacecraft in coronal holes and the quiet Sun. In a subset of these observations, the H I Ly beta, Si III, and O VI lines were also (quasi-)simultaneously recorded. We find that the distances between the two peaks of Ly alpha profiles are larger in coronal holes than in the quiet Sun, indicating a larger opacity in coronal holes. This difference might result from the different magnetic structures or the different radiation fields in the two regions. Most of the Ly beta profiles in the coronal hole have a stronger blue peak, in contrast to those in quiet-Sun regions while in both regions the Ly alpha profiles are stronger in the blue peak. Although the asymmetries are likely to be produced by differential flows in the solar atmosphere, their detailed formation processes are still unclear. The radiance ratio between Ly alpha and Ly beta decreases toward the limb in the coronal hole, which might be due to the different opacity of the two lines. We also find that the radiance distributions of the four lines are set by a combined effect of limb brightening and the different emission level between coronal holes and the quiet Sun.Astronomy & AstrophysicsSCI(E)7ARTICLE2L152-L15670
LY-294002-inhibitable PI 3-kinase and regulation of baseline rates of Na<sup>+</sup>transport in A6 epithelia
No full textBlocker-induced noise analysis of epithelial Na+channels (ENaCs) was used to investigate how inhibition of an LY-294002-sensitive phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) alters Na+transport in unstimulated and aldosterone-prestimulated A6 epithelia. From baseline Na+transport rates ( INa) of 4.0 ± 0.1 (unstimulated) and 9.1 ± 0.9 μA/cm2(aldosterone), 10 μM LY-294002 caused, following a relatively small initial increase of transport, a completely reversible inhibition of transport within 90 min to 33 ± 6% and 38 ± 2% of respective baseline values. Initial increases of transport could be attributed to increases of channel open probability ( Po) within 5 min to 143 ± 17% (unstimulated) and 142 ± 10% of control (aldosterone) from baseline Poaveraging near 0.5. Inhibition of transport was due to much slower decreases of functional channel densities ( NT) to 28 ± 4% (unstimulated) and 35 ± 3% (aldosterone) of control at 90 min. LY-294002 (50 μM) caused larger but completely reversible increases of Po(215 ± 38% of control at 5 min) and more rapid but only slightly larger decreases of NT. Basolateral exposure to LY-294002 induced no detectable effect on transport, Poor NT. We conclude that an LY-294002-sensitive PI 3-kinase plays an important role in regulation of transport by modulating NTand Poof ENaCs, but only when presented to apical surfaces of the cells.</jats:p
STUDY ON THE TROPICAL-STORM-GENERATED WAVE FIELD ON THE SEA AREA AROUND LY SON ISLAND
No full textLy Son is a frontline island of our country that is often affected by adverse weather conditions such as monsoons or tropical storms. Studying the hydraulic parameters of tropical storms, including the storm's wave field, to determine extreme conditions plays an important role in forecasting, planning and construction of hydraulic works. The author uses the two-dimensional wave propagation model MIKE 21 SW to simulate the wave field of Molave storm 2020 in Ly Son sea. The results show a good agreement between the values obtained from the model and the actual measurements at Ly Son station. Based on the results obtained, the author proposes a method to simulate storm wave fields that is relatively accurate and effective. In particular, current standards based on wind speed and wind fetch still have many limitations. This is valuable in the actual design and planning of hydraulic works
THE INFLUENCES OF “THREE-RELIGION” ON THE SOCIO-POLITICAL LIFE UNDER THE LY - TRAN DYNASTIES
No full textThe Ly - Tran dynasties were the ones reaching the most brilliant development of Vietnamese feudal history. In many fields and aspects, the Ly - Tran dynasties had proud achievements, which made a great contribution to the spirit of "Three-religion". As a form of social consciousness, "Three-religion" with the presence of three coexisting religions including Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism had a stake in changing the face of contemporary socio-political life. Therefore, in this article, the author focuses on analyzing the influences of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism on the socio-political life under the Ly - Tran dynasties to clarify the position and role of each religio
Blind QSO reconstruction challenge: Exploring methods to reconstruct the Ly emission line of QSOs
No full textReconstructing the intrinsic Ly line flux from high- QSOs can place constraints on the neutral hydrogen content of the intergalactic medium during reionisation. There are now different Ly reconstruction pipelines using different methodologies to predict the Ly line flux from correlations with the spectral information redward of Ly. However, there have been few attempts to directly compare the performance of these pipelines. Therefore, we devised a blind QSO challenge to compare these reconstruction pipelines on a uniform set of objects. Each author was provided de-identified, observed rest-frame QSO spectra with spectral information only redward of 1260Å rest-frame to ensure unbiased reconstruction. We constructed two samples of 30 QSOs, from X-Shooter and SDSS both spanning $3.
