Peculiar Character

A Patite was first recorded from the Eskdale granite by R. H. Rastall and W. H. Wilcockson in 1915 (I).1 Recently, the author, in carrying out work on the granite, has noticed the peculiar character of the apatites, in that they are mostly of a dusky type occasioned by the presence of large amounts of finely-divided inclusions. Similar apatites have been recorded from the Leinster granite (2), Gault Clay, Thanet Sands, Chausey Islands (3), Jersey (4), the Old Red Sandstone of the Cardiff District (5), and the Dublin district (6), but nearly all show a sharply defined core. The Eskdale ones, although presenting a dense centre, show no clear-cut division between the core and the outer zone of the apatite. Invariably the outer zone of the apatite carries some inclusions.

In the course of fine structure studies of spontaneous “C-type” particle production in a viper (Vipera russelli) spleen cell line, designated VSW, virus particles were frequently observed within mitochondria. The latter were usually enlarged or swollen, compared to virus-free mitochondria, and displayed a considerable degree of cristae disorganization.Intramitochondrial viruses measure 90 to 100 mμ in diameter, and consist of a nucleoid or core region of varying density and measuring approximately 45 mμ in diameter. Nucleoid density variation is presumed to reflect varying degrees of condensation, and hence maturation stages. The core region is surrounded by a less-dense outer zone presumably representing viral capsid.Particles are usually situated in peripheral regions of the mitochondrion. In most instances they appear to be lodged between loosely apposed inner and outer mitochondrial membranes.

The analysis in this paper was based on five Malay narratives of the “frog story”. In these narratives, the types of lexical arguments and their relations with information flow and topic continuity were analyzed. It was found that most narrators used one lexical argument in telling the frog story (e.g., sarang itu jatuh “the nest fell”). About 60% of the verbs in the narratives contained one lexical argument only. Some transitive verbs that usually require the presence of both lexical arguments were used with one lexical argument only when produced in speech (e.g., dia mencari ø di merata tempat “he searched (for) ø everywhere”). Objects were sometimes omitted, as their meanings could be predicted from previous context. Despite the omission of objects, transitive constructions still prevailed in the stories. The most frequently occurring lexical arguments were objects (O) (37%), followed by intransitive subjects (S) (29%) and transitive subjects (A) (27%). In addition, our results showed that new information in Malay was usually allocated to the core argument of the object and to locative expressions, indicating that most of the new information appeared at the end of a clause. On the other hand, topic continuity was held between the subjects in two continuous intonation units. This clear-cut division of discourse functions in the heads and tails of constructions was consistently found in the five pieces of narration. This observation not only showed how ideas could be continued in Malay oral narratives, but also contributes to the study of discourse structure in Malay.

Abstract Examination of a section which cuts into the Dreuilhe anticline in the southern Aquitaine basin (Plantaurel) reveals a similarity between the deposits there and those in the northern part of the basin. In the core of the anticline the Maestrichtian lower red marls contain clays and red sandstone with montmorillonite and kaolinite, suggesting deposition in a vast depression lacking sufficient drainage, and in a medium rich in Ca (super ++) and Mg (super ++) . The upper red marls in the hard band of Montian lacustrine limestone with Microcodium have an analogous composition and correspond to calm tectonic and climatic conditions. Lacustrine marls with attapulgite directly underlie the transgressive Thanetian marine deposits. The passage from the Thanetian to the Sparnacian is marked by lacustrine facies, predominantly montmorillonite, and an increasing abundance of illites. The dominance of montmorillonite in a tectonically unstable area suggests that the adjacent continental mass was of low relief and was characterized by a tropical climate with alternating dry and humid seasons. The increase in kaolinite accompanying the arrival of the coarse detritus of the Ypresian is interpreted as the result of rhexistasy. The Lutetian is characterized by sandstones and limestones with associated montmorillonite, illite, and kaolinite. This phase represents the return of the sea, and the detrital nature of the deposits is a result of the uplift of the Pyrenean massifs. These phenomena are analogous to those that have been reported previously from the Paleocene series of Bordelais (northern part of the basin) suggesting a similar paleogeographic evolution for the two areas.

AbstractThe Lower Old Red Sandstone deposits of Ekmanfjorden belong mainly to the Lykta Division, but pale sandstones with Giganthaspis representingthe Kapp Kjeldsen Division also occur in the core of what is probably a N.-S. striking anticline. The lower beds of the Lykta Division are soft, dull and silty and not very fossiliferous; above them are some 1,100 feet of sandstones and conglomeratic beds alternatingwith shales or marls. Locally abundant vertebrate remains include the guide fossil Doryaspis. Various sedimentary structures suggest rapid deposition on a broad shallow delta front.

Translation starts with a document in one language and ends with a document with the same meaning in another language. Technical communication entails designing and writing a document from scratch in one language. The answer to the question of “Which, of translation or writing, comes first?” seems relatively obvious – the document needs to be written before it can be translated. However, when looking at translation and technical communication as professions and examining how the professionals are trained, the answer is not quite as clear-cut. In the United States, translators and technical communicators have different qualifications, different skills – in particular different language skills – and have degrees in different fields. Only recently has there appeared a certain convergence between the professions. In Europe, and more specifically in France, the profession of technical communicator is quite recent, as are the corresponding academic programs. Many technical communicators came to the profession from translation. The convergence therefore is perceived as being far greater. The purpose of this paper is to launch a comparative study of the competences or skills of translators and technical communicators, based on the existing European Master’s in Translation (EMT) list of competences for translators. The goal of this study would be to define the core skills for technical communicators, to examine to what extent they overlap with the competences of translators and ultimately, to establish a referential for training programs in technical communication.

The shallow synclinal fold termed the Dalmahoy syncline is situated between the north-western flank of the Pentland Hills and the Murieston fault, the most southerly of the five important easterly and north-easterly dislocations which traverse the oil-shale field of West Lothian. The core of the syncline is occupied by rocks belonging to the lower division of the Oil-Shale Group of the Lower Carboniferous. Intervening between these and the Cement-stone Group is a volcanic zone, probably on the same horizon as the Arthur's Seat lavas, consisting mainly of mugearites and basalts which show their greatest development in the Corston Hill district. Along the whole of the southern limb of the syncline is an extensive spread of Upper Old Red Sandstone, but this formation is almost entirely cut out in the northern limb by the Murieston fault, appearing only in the core of a small anticline near Selms.

Formulaic sequences should make an excellent marker of style because if authors treat them as one lexical choice, they are unlikely to be aware of the individual words contained within. However, there is no clear-cut way to robustly identify all, and only, formulaic sequences in a text. If one particular word which occurs frequently in formulaic sequences – a core word – can be isolated, then a reasonable sub-set of word sequences will be identified, the majority of which can be expected to be formulaic. Using the core word way which occurs in many formulaic sequences (e.g., ‘in a way’, ‘by the way’ and ‘by way of’), the aim of this research is to establish whether individual authors use different way-phrases from one another and, for comparative purposes, whether authors use alternative non-formulaic realisations of the same semantic content. If inter-authorial differences can be found, way-phrases may hold potential as a marker of authorship. The results indicate that for one author, the phrase ‘in a way’ appeared to be used distinctively. Therefore, there is potential for formulaic sequences to be used as a marker of authorship, albeit for only one author out of twenty, which limits the usefulness of such a marker in a forensic context.

Introduction: The article discusses the problems associated with the definition of legal concepts which have the feature of “open texture”. The introduction presents the nature and meaning of “open texture”, which is understood as a special kind of indeterminacy. Such concepts are considered in the form in which they were postulated in the works of the Austrian linguistic philosopher Friedrich Waismann and the British legal philosopher Herbert Hart. Theoretical Basis. Methods. It is contested that, in Hart’s interpretation, “open texture” appears in legal concepts in borderline cases, when the meaning of the term of “concept” becomes indeterminate, unclear, uncertain, and we do not know whether or not it should be applied. Such cases should be distinguished from clear-cut cases where such doubt does not arise. The methodological basis of the study is Hart’s thesis stating that legal concepts have “core” and “penumbra” of meaning. The “core” meaning indicates a set of certain conditions, in which the use of the term “concept” is clear, while a “penumbra” meaning refers to conditions in which the its use becomes less clear. “Open texture” in this case, is an irreducible feature of legal concepts. Results. The main result of the study is the assertion that “open texture” as an irreducible feature of legal concepts, can be disproved by changing its definition. It is shown that the most appropriate kind of definition of open-textured legal concepts is the definition or contextual definition, widely used in analytical philosophy.

Nordic Literary Decadence

This article maps literary decadence in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Estonia, and Finland. Nordic decadence is not a clear-cut movement but rather a cultural response to French naturalism, symbolism, decadence, and German philosophy. It has been broadly understood to include works that thematize decay and analyze the supposed decay of modernity and modern humanity. This article focuses on the “core decadence” (in contrast to naturalistic depictions of decay) of Nordic works in which the visions and experiential sphere of neurotic (usually male) heroes explore larger social vistas as the characters both reflect upon decay and illustrate the processes of shattering and dissolution connected to decadence. Examples include J. P. Jacobsen’s Niels Lyhne (1880) and Herman Bang’s Haabløse Slægter (Hopeless families, 1880), both of which appeared before Huysmans’s À rebours (Against Nature, 1884), the usual paradigmatic example of decadence. These texts and others reflect, imitate, modify, comment on, and reconfigure European decadence in the light of Nordic circumstances and traditions.

The Pacinian corpuscle has a framework of cytoplasmic lamellae arranged concentrically in the outer zone, and bilaterally in the core. Between these is an intermediate growth zone. The inner core shows an unexpected complexity in that its component lamellae are arranged in two symmetrical groups of nested cytoplasmic sheets. Longitudinal tissue spaces form clefts separating the two groups. The perikarya of the core lamellae lie in or near the intermediate growth zone, and send arms into the clefts. The arms then branch and terminate as lamellae which interdigitate with those of neighboring cells. The single nerve fiber loses its myelin sheath just before it reaches the inner core but retains its Schwann cell cytoplasmic covering for a short additional distance. The Schwann sheath is not continuous with the lamellae of the inner core. Inside the core the fiber contains a striking circumferential palisade of radially disposed mitochondria. The fiber does not arborize. Vascular capillaries penetrate the hilar region of the corpuscle only as far as the myelinated sheath of the nerve, and they have not been seen elsewhere in the corpuscle. There is direct continuity between the clefts of the core and tissue spaces in the vicinity of the capillaries. It is likely that this provides a route whereby metabolites reach the active nerve ending, as well as the cells of the growth zone. The outer zone consists of at least 30 flattened concentric cytoplasmic lamellae separated from one another by relatively wide fluid-filled spaces. Collagenous fibrils are present, particularly on the outer surface of lamellae, and tend to be oriented circularly. The girdle of proliferating cells constituting the growth zone, which is prominent in corpuscles from young animals, is the layer from which the outer lamellae are derived. Osmotic forces probably elevate the lamellae, and maintain turgor pressure.
