To characterize the rhythm of stresses in a line of Russian iambic tetrameter, a frequency profile is often used, i. e., a diagram of the occurrence of real stresses on all feet (ictuses) of the verse line. This article discusses in detail one of the mechanisms that enables the speech factor to influence the formation of the stress profile. It is shown that in Russian iambic tetrameter of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the high frequency of stresses of the second ictus is explained by the fact that the beginning of the line more often than not coincides with the beginning of a sentence or clause, and the Russian syntagma is more frequently stressed in the middle. And vice versa, wherever the frequency of enjambments increases, the second ictus is less frequently stressed, because the beginning of the syntagma moves to the middle of the line. Considering the above, the author attempts to characterize the peculiarity of the rhythmic structure of Russian iambic tetrameter in synchronic and diachronic aspects and reveal some major large-scale trends such as the growth of the rhythmic diversity of poetic texts.

The goal of digital marketing is to connect advertisers with users that are interested in their products. This means serving ads to users, and it could lead to a user receiving hundreds of impressions of the same ad. Consequently, advertisers can define a maximum threshold to the number of impressions a user can receive, referred to as Frequency Cap. However, low frequency caps mean many users are not engaging with the advertiser. By contrast, with high frequency caps, users may receive many ads leading to annoyance and wasting budget. We build a robust and reliable methodology to define the number of ads that should be delivered to different users to maximize the ROAS and reduce the possibility that users get annoyed with the ads’ brand. The methodology uses a novel technique to find the optimal frequency capping based on the number of non-clicked impressions rather than the traditional number of received impressions. This methodology is validated using simulations and large-scale datasets obtained from real ad campaigns data. To sum up, our work proves that it is feasible to address the frequency capping optimization as a business problem, and we provide a framework that can be used to configure efficient frequency capping values.

We have developed a technique for estimating vibrations of an automotive body structures with viscoelastic damping materials using large-scale finite element (FE) model, which will enable us to grasp and to reduce high-frequency road noise(200~500Hz). In the new technique, first order solutions for modal loss factors are derived applying asymptotic method. This method saves calculation time to estimate modal damping as a practical tool in the design stages of the body structures. Frequency responses were calculated using this technique and the results almost agreed with the test results. This technique can show the effect of the viscoelastic damping materials on the automotive body panels, and it enables the more efficient layout of the viscoelastic damping materials. Further, we clarified damping properties of the automotive body structures under coupled vibration between frames and panels with the viscoelastic damping materials.

Photovoltaic (PV) power generation has shown a trend towards large-scale medium- or high-voltage integration in recent years. The development of high-frequency link PV systems is necessary for the further improvement of system efficiency and the reduction of system cost. In the system, high-frequency high-step-up ratio LLC converters are one of the most important parts. However, the parasitic parameters of devices lead to a loss of zero-voltage switching (ZVS) in the LLC converter, greatly reducing the efficiency of the system, especially in such a high-frequency application. In this paper, a high-frequency link 35 kV PV system is presented. To suppress the influences of parasitic parameters in the LLC converter in the 35 kV PV system, the influence of parasitic parameters on ZVS is analyzed and expounded. Then, a suppression method is proposed to promote the realization of ZVS. This method adds a saturable inductor on the secondary side to achieve ZVS. The saturable inductor can effectively prevent the parasitic elements of the secondary side from participating in the resonance of the primary side. The experimental results show that this method achieves a higher efficiency than the traditional method by reducing the magnetic inductance.

In this computational study, a light-weight dynamic device is investigated for passive energy reversal from the lowest frequency mode to the high frequency modes of a large-scale frame structure for rapid shock mitigation. The device is based on the single-sided vibro-impact mechanism. It has two functions for passive energy transfer: a nonlinear energy sink (NES) for local energy dissipation and an energy pump to high frequency modes where a significant amount of the shock energy is rapidly dissipated. As a result, a significant portion of the shock energy induced into the linear dynamic structure can be passively reversed from the lowest frequency mode to the high frequency modes and rapidly dissipated by their modal damping. The amount of the energy dissipated by the modal damping of the high frequency modes can be controlled by the amount of inherent damping in the device. Ideally, the device can passively reverse up to 80% of the input shock energy from the lowest frequency mode to the high frequency modes when its damping is assumed to be zero and its impact coefficient of restitution is equal to unity. The shock energy redistribution between this device and the high frequency modes is found to be efficient for rapid shock mitigation in the considered 9-story dynamic structure.

Neural oscillations at low- and high-frequency ranges are a fundamental feature of large-scale networks. Recent evidence has indicated that schizophrenia is associated with abnormal amplitude and synchrony of oscillatory activity, in particular, at high (beta/gamma) frequencies. These abnormalities are observed during task-related and spontaneous neuronal activity which may be important for understanding the pathophysiology of the syndrome. In this paper, we shall review the current evidence for impaired beta/gamma-band oscillations and their involvement in cognitive functions and certain symptoms of the disorder. In the first part, we will provide an update on neural oscillations during normal brain functions and discuss underlying mechanisms. This will be followed by a review of studies that have examined high-frequency oscillatory activity in schizophrenia and discuss evidence that relates abnormalities of oscillatory activity to disturbed excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance. Finally, we shall identify critical issues for future research in this area.

This article shows that if there is some control over genre then there will be a close correspondence between the vocabulary size of intermediate learners as reflected in their writing and a more direct measure of vocabulary size The study proposes a new measure of lexical richness, the Lexical Frequency Profile, which looks at the proportion of high frequency general service and academic words in learners' writing The study shows that it is possible to obtain a reliable measure of lexical richness which is stable across two pieces of writing by the same learners It also discriminates between learners of different proficiency levels For learners of English as a second language, the Lexical Frequency Profile is seen as being a measure of how vocabulary size is reflected in use In this study, it was found that the Lexical Frequency Profile correlates well with an independent measure of vocabulary size This reliable and valid measure of lexical richness in writing will be useful for determining the factors that affect judgements of quality in writing and will be useful for examining how vocabulary growth is related to vocabulary use. © 1995 Oxford University Press.
