I would like to apologize to Robin Scarcella and Rebecca Oxford for an erroneous statement I made in my review of their book, The Tapestry of Language Learning. In the review I accused the authors of not referencing Vygotsky's seminal work, Thought and Language. Upon rereading the review, I suddenly realized that the authors do indeed cite the first volume of Vygotsky's collected works which includes his Thought and Language.

Collisionless damping of plasma waves as a real physical phenomenon does not exist

Complex Dispersion

Trivial logic of collisionless plasma waves is reduced to using complex exponentially damping/growing wave functions to obtain a complex dispersion equation for their wave number 1 k and the decrement/increment 2 k (for a given real frequency  and complex wave number k  k1  ik2 ), whose solutions are ghosts 1 2 k , k which do not have anything to do at 2 k  0 with the real solution of the dispersion equation for the initial exponentially damping/growing real plasma waves with the physically observable quantities 1 2 k , k , for which finding should be added, in this case, the second equation of the energy conservation law. Using a complex dispersion equation for the simultaneous determination of 1 k and 2 k violates the law of energy conservation, leads to a number of contradictions, is logical error, and finally also the mathematical error leading to both erroneous statement on the possible existence of exponentially damping/growing harmonic wave solutions and to erroneous values 1 k and 2 k . Mathematically correct conclusion about the damping/growing of virtual complex waves of collisionless plasma is wrongly attributed to the actual real plasma waves.

The Way

In “The Cause of an Ice Age” Sir R. Ball claims to have removed from the Astronomical Theory of Glaciation the greatest stumbling block in the way of its general acceptance, and to have placed it on a firm and unassailable foundation. And this stumbling block he considers to have been Sir J. Herschel's erroneous statement, that, of the total heat received by a hemisphere in a year, one-half is received during the summer, and the other half dining winter.

Considerable Doubt

On page 195 of the above article, there is an unfortunate erroneous statement made which has the effect of casting considerable doubt on the reliability of the statistics for mining geophysics expenditures published by the SEG prior to 1969. The erroneous statement to which I refer is “. . .in past years, mining costs were obtained by multiplying mining crew‐months by an assumed average cost per crew‐month.” W. C. Kellogg and myself were responsible for the compilation and reporting of the 1967 and 1968 SEG mining geophysics statistics, which were published in Geophysics in December 1968 and December 1969, respectively. On the questionnaire forms that were sent out for those years (and also for previous years), there were, in fact, blank columns appropriately labeled, in which expenditures were to be reported directly for ground and airborne surveys and research. Only in a few percent of the cases where the responding organization had for some reason omitted the costs were these calculated from professional man‐months or line‐miles of survey using averaged (not “assumed”) costs reported by other respondents. For example, the average costs for 1968 ground geophysical surveys appears on page 854 in the 1968 article (Geophysics, December 1969) as Table 3.

On the Compressibility of Liquids in connection with their Molecular Pressure

Erroneous Statement

That liquids, if finitely compressible, must (at any one temperature) become steadily less compressible as the pressure is raised, seems to be obvious without any attempt at proof. Yet the assertion is even now generally made, mainly in consequence of an erroneous statement of Örsted, which has been supported by some comparatively recent investigations of Cailletet and others, that the compressibility of water (at any one temperature) is practically the same at all pressures not exceeding a few hundred atmospheres.

Main Component

The purpose of this paper is the analysis of German mass media texts to investigate into hedge approximators. Synonymous analytical constructions eine Art … (a kind of); so etwas wie …; (so) etwas Ähnliches wie … are used to achieve certain pragmatic purposes the discourse of mass media. The most frequent word combination is eine Art... . The structural organization of such combinations is regulated by specific rules. The majorities of nominal groups of the eine Art N type without an attribute preceding the main component (eine Art Glück) do not allow to determine the case of the second noun in modern German. Nouns of all three genders, including noun of the weak type of declination, do not have inflexions. The case form of the main word in the phrase is revealed by expanding the cluster with an attribute. The basic types of such constructions are constructions with the genitive case (eine Art gemeinsamen Traums), construction with the preposition von and a noun in the dative case (eine Art von gemeinsamem Traum) and constructions with the case agreement between the two parts of the nominal group (in einer Art gemeinsamem Traum). The distribution of these types of constructions in the contemporary German language is determined in essence by grammatical factors, namely by the oblique form of the “auxiliary” noun and also by the number and by the semantic class of the second noun. All three synonymous clusters are used both with concrete and abstract nouns. These hedge markers make possible for authors of articles to limit the degree of confidence or doubt about the authenticity of the described fact, since sometimes there is no information about the nominated object, the risks of an erroneous statement being significantly minimized. Hedge markers show that the author is detached, careful, diplomatic and aims at avoiding conflictual situations.
