As the main result justifying the conclusions in [Andres, J., Kubáček, L., Machalová, J., Tučková, M.: Optimization of parameters in the Menzerath–Altmann law Acta Univ. Palacki. Olomuc., Fac. rer. nat., Math. 51, 1 (2012), 5–27.], the theorem is presented enunciating that the English original of Poe’s celebrated poem Raven is a language fractal only w.r.t. the application of the simplest truncated formulas of the Menzerath–Altmann law, but not w.r.t. other applied formulas under our consideration. Moreover, the related degree of semanticity is calculated in these cases, including the naive intervals of such a degree. A suitability of the applied formulas is discussed from the point of view of a verbal version of the Menzerath–Altmann law (i.e. the tendency of the approximating functions is to be decreasing) and by means of quantitative criteria characterizing the accuracy of fitted data. Our discussion extends the traditional approaches to the Menzerath–Altmann law
Optimization of parameters in the Menzerath–Altmann law
No full textsummary:Four formulas of the Menzerath–Altmann law are tested from the point of view of their applicability and suitability. The accuracy of related approximations of measured data is examined by the least square method at first. Then the accuracy of calculated parameters in the formulas under consideration is compared statistically. The influence of neglecting parameter is investigated as well. Finally, the obtained results are discussed by means of an illustrative example from quantitative linguistics

Disturbance of cerebral function in people exposed to drinking water contaminated with aluminium sulphate: retrospective study of the Camelford water incident
No full textObjective: To establish whether people exposed to drinking water contaminated with 20 tonnes of aluminium sulphate in the Camelford area of Cornwall in the south west of England in July 1988 had suffered organic brain damage as opposed to psychological trauma only.
Design: Retrospective study of affected people.
Participants: 55 affected people and 15 siblings nearest in age to one of the group but who had not been exposed to the contaminated water were studied.
Main outcome measures: Various clinical and psychological tests to determine medical condition and anxiety levels in affected people. Assessment of premorbid IQ (pFSIQ) with the national adult reading test, a computerised battery of psychomotor testing, and measurement of the difference in latencies between the flash and pattern visual evoked potentials in all participants.
Results: The mean (SE) pFSIQ was above average at 114.4 (1.1). The most sensitive of the psychomotor tests for organic brain disease was the symbol digit coding (SDC) test (normal score 100, abnormal less than 85). Participants performed less well on this test (54.5 (6.0)) than expected from their pFSIQ (Pless than 0.0001) and a little less poorly on the averaged less discriminating tests within the battery (86.1 (2.5), Pless than 0.0001). In a comparison with the 15 sibling pairs (affected people's age 41.0 (3.3) years vsibling age of 42.7 (3.1) years (P=0.36) the exposed people had similar pFSIQ (114.7 (2.1)) to their siblings (116.3 (2.1), (P=0.59) but performed badly on the symbol digit coding test (51.8 (16.6)) v(87.5 (4.9) for siblings, P=0.03). The flash-pattern differences in exposed people were greater than in 42 unrelated control subjects of similar age (27.33 (1.64) ms v18.57 (1.47) ms, P=0.0002). The 15 unexposed siblings had significantly better flash-pattern differences than their affected siblings (13.4 (2.4) ms v29.6 (2.9) ms, P=0.0002). No effect of anxiety could be shown on these measurements from the analysis of the anxiety scores of exposed people.
Conclusion: People who were exposed to the contaminated water at Camelford suffered considerable damage to cerebral function, which was not related to anxiety. Follow up studies would be required to determine the longer term prognosis for affected individuals
Design alternatives of network of Altmann linkages
No full textThis paper presents a method of building deployable network assemblies derived from the single degree of freedom (DoF) over constrained Altmann linkage as a basic module. The method is based on assembling linkages with common links and joints or overlapping with extra R or 2R joints. New loops are emerged with overlapping method. The networks created have a single DoF, are over-constrained and have both fully deployed and folded configurations. The computer-aided models (CAD) are used to demonstrate these derived novel mechanisms

Fashion Culture: Fashion Metropolis Berlin
No full textBerlin was a fashion capital in the 1920s, with hundreds of thriving clothing manufacturers, most of them Jewish, before it was decimated by the Nazis. Author Uwe Westphal shares this history in a discussion with FIT historian Keren Ben-Horin and journalist Jennifer Altmann, whose grandfather ran one of Berlin’s fashion houses.Organized in partnership with the Museum at Eldridge Street
