The Oxford guide to the Transeurasian languages
No full textThe Oxford Guide to the Transeurasian Languages provides a comprehensive account of the Transeurasian languages, and is the first major reference work in the field since 1965. The term 'Transeurasian' refers to a large group of geographically adjacent languages that includes five uncontroversial linguistic families: Japonic, Koreanic, Tungusic, Mongolic, and Turkic. The historical connection between these languages, however, constitutes one of the most debated issues in historical comparative linguistics. In the present book, a team of leading international scholars in the field take a balanced approach to this controversy, integrating different theoretical frameworks, combining both functional and formal linguistics, and showing that genealogical and areal approaches are in fact compatible with one another.The volume is divided into five parts. Part I deals with the historical sources and periodization of the Transeurasian languages and their classification and typology. In Part II, chapters provide individual structural overviews of the Transeurasian languages and the linguistic subgroups that they belong to, while Part III explores Transeurasian phonology, morphology, syntax, lexis, and semantics from a comparative perspective. Part IV offers a range of areal and genealogical explanations for the correlations observed in the preceding parts. Finally, Part V combines archaeological, genetic, and anthropological perspectives on the identity of speakers of Transeurasian languages. The Oxford Guide to the Transeurasian Languages will be an indispensable resource for specialists in Japonic, Koreanic, Tungusic, Mongolic, and Turkic languages and for anyone with an interest in Transeurasian and comparative linguistics more broadly.Detailed Contents Series Preface List of Figures and Tables List of Abbreviations Romanization Conventions The Contributors Introduction, Martine Robbeets and Alexander Savelyev Part I: Sources and Classification A: Historical Sources and Periodization 1: Historical sources and periodization of the Japonic and Koreanic languages, Marc Miyake 2: The Altaic languages: Tungusic, Mongolic, Turkic, Volker Rybatzki B: Genealogical Classification 3: The classification of the Transeurasian languages, Martine Robbeets 4: The classification of the Japonic languages, Elisabeth M. de Boer 5: The classification of the Korean language and its dialects, Kyou-Dong Ahn and Jaehoon Yeon 6: The classification of the Tungusic languages, Lindsay J.

Probing the Gate-Voltage-Dependent Surface Potential of Individual InAs Nanowires Using Random Telegraph Signals RID C-6303-2008
No full textWe report a novel methocl for probing the gate-voltage dependence of the surface potential of individual semiconductor nanowires. The statistics of electronic occupation of a single defect on the surface of the nanowire, determined from a random telegraph signal, is used as a. measure for the local potential. The method, is demonstrated for the case of one or two switching defects in indium arsenide (InAs) nanowire field effect transistors at temperatures T = 25-77 K. Comparison with a self consistent model shows that surface potential variation is retarded In the conducting regime due to screening by surface states with density D(ss) approximate to 10(12) cm(-2) ev(-1). Temperature-dependent dynamics of, electron capture and emission producing the random telegraph signals are also analyzed, and multiphonon emission is identified as the process responsible for capture and emission of electrons from the surface traps. Two defects studied in detail had capture activation energies of E(B) approximate to 50 meV and E(B) approximate to 110 meV and cross sections of sigma(infinity) approximate to 3 x 10(-19) cm(2) and sigma(infinity) approximate to 2 x 10(-17) cm(2), respectively. A lattice relaxation energy of s (h) over bar omega = 187 +/- 15 meV was found for the first defect
Analyzing social experiments as implemented: evidence from the HighScope Perry Preschool Program
Get PDFSocial experiments are powerful sources of information about the effectiveness of interventions. In practice, initial randomization plans are almost always compromised. Multiple hypotheses are frequently tested. "Significant" effects are often reported with p-values that do not account for preliminary screening from a large candidate pool of possible effects. This paper develops tools for analyzing data from experiments as they are actually implemented. We apply these tools to analyze the influential HighScope Perry Preschool Program. The Perry program was a social experiment that provided preschool education and home visits to disadvantaged children during their preschool years. It was evaluated by the method of random assignment. Both treatments and controls have been followed from age 3 through age 40. Previous analyses of the Perry data assume that the planned randomization protocol was implemented. In fact, as in many social experiments, the intended randomization protocol was compromised. Accounting for compromised randomization, multiple-hypothesis testing, and small sample sizes, we find statistically significant and economically important program effects for both males and females. We also examine the representativeness of the Perry study. Download appendix

MAGNESIUM METABOLISM AND CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE
Get PDFAim. To study relationship of the clinical state and cardiac functional parameters with magnesium metabolism indices in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease (IHD).Material and methods. Patients with stable angina pectoris, II-III class (n=480) were involved into the study. Evaluation of the following items was performed: disease course, anxiodepressive syndrome intensity, exercise tolerance, blood and urine electrolyte profile, systolic and diastolic left ventricle function, endothelium-dependent and endotheliumnondependent vasodilatation, i/v magnesium load test, Holter electrocardiogram monitoring.Results. High prevalence of systemic magnesium deficiency (17.9 and 37.5% according to serum and erythrocyte levels, respectively) was found in IHD patients. Severity of magnesium deficiency in IHD patients depended on duration of disease, experience of myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia seriousness, disorders of endothelium vasodilating function and left ventricle diastolic function, severity of concomitant anxiety. Exercise tests were changed in IHD patients with magnesium deficiency.Conclusion. The study data let to consider that magnesium deficiency involves into the IHD pathogenesis

Get PDFThe spread of e-learning in high education stimulates investigation of psychological characteristics of successful students of online courses. The aim of our paper was to find psychological predictors of the effectiveness of online learning. The sample consisted of 215 students of the Ural Federal University. The personal sphere of students was studied with the help of personality questionnaire Big Five (R. McCrae and P. Costa); diagnosis of students' educational activity motives (T. O. Gordeeva, E. N. Osin, O. A. Sychev); diagnosis of the dominant perceptual modality (S. Efremtseva); scale of progressive matrices by J. Raven (diagnosis of the level of intelligence based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of non-verbal tasks). The results of the respondents expressed attitude to e-learning and their final scores of online courses have been processed with help of factual analysis. We have found that the main personal characteristics of successful online-students are their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and level of intelligence, such personal qualities as goodwill and openness to new experience, moreover, the length of study at university and online courses is also important. The results show that one of the most difficult area of online courses is the evaluation of learning outcomes. The recognition of individual psychological characteristics of more and less successful MOOC-students are important information for creators and university teachers working in this format. This data gives understanding how to make the situation of e-learning success and realize the ideas of adaptive learning. © 2019 LLC Ecological Help. All rights reserved
