The spiritual dimensions of the road accompanied a person not only in the pre-Gutenberg (oral communication) but also in the post-Gutenberg era. Its mythological manifestations are still relevant today, when communication dominates the Internet space. The research topic is conditioned by this topic. The article presents a mythological image of a road, a number of components of which are woven into the structural and semantical layers of modern media texts. The purpose of the article is to highlight important aspects of this phenomenon based on an analysis of the cultural and political texts of modern Armenian media. In the process of research, we used content and discourse analyses. About thirty publications were selected from different websitesin which through discourse analysis, the substantive features of the mythologeme of the road in Armenian media texts were revealed.His formulation of the problem presupposed the initial presentation of a number of general attributes of the road mythologeme (sacred structure, the road as a “meeting place” of space and time, the presence of horizontal and vertical planes in mythological ideas about the road, the soul’s journey into the inner consciousness and into the world of one’s own “I” , etc. on the basis of which the analysis of cultural and political publications on Armenian websites was made. The research topic is promising, since in its interdisciplinary context it can suggest new ideas not only to media researchers but also to specialists in cultural studies, philosophy, and psychology.In publications on cultural themes, the mythologeme is expensive and enriches the dynamic picture of Armenian cultural life contributing through its spatial-temporal perspective and the author’s inner “I” to the national self-knowledge of the audience. In political publications, where “the road of Thought” is paramount, the culture of internal polemics, the search for the continuation of the key points of the mental road play an important role. The author’s word is transmitted to the reader with the division of time at certain intervals. Thanks to these important criteria, the spiritual and mental picture of the road asserts its distinctive presence in the Armenian media space. Keywords: road, Armenian, media discourse, media text, mythologeme, cultural, political publications

With the growth of online commerce, companies have created virtual communities (VCs) where users can create posts and reply to posts about the company’s products. VCs can be represented as networks, with users as nodes and relationships between users as edges. Information propagates through edges. In VC studies, it is important to know how the number of topics concerning the product grows over time and what network features make a user more influential than others in the information-spreading process. The existing literature has not provided a quantitative method with which to determine key points during the topic emergence process. Also, few researchers have considered the link between multilayer physical features and the nodes’ spreading influence. In this paper, we present two new ideas to enrich network theory as applied to VCs: a novel application of an adjusted coefficient of determination to topic growth and an adjustment to the Jaccard coefficient to measure the connection between two users. A two-layer network model was first used to study the spread of topics through a VC. A random forest method was then applied to rank various factors that might determine an individual user’s importance in topic spreading through a VC. Our research provides insightful ways for enterprises to mine information from VCs.

Road traffic network (RTN) structure plays an important role in the field of complex network analysis. In this paper, we propose a regional patch detection method from RTN via community detection of complex network. Firstly, the refined Adapted PageRank algorithm, which combines with the influence factors of the location property weight, the geographic distance weight and the road level weight, is used to calculate the candidate ranking results of key nodes in the RTN. Secondly, the ranking result and the shortest path distance as two significant impact factors are used to select the key points of the RTN, and then the Adapted K-Means algorithm is applied to regional patch detection of the RTN. Finally, based on the experimental data of Zhangwu road traffic network, the analysis results are as follows: Zhangwu is divided into 9 functional structures with key node locations as the core. Regional patch structure is divided according to key points, and the RTN is actually divided into nine small functional communities. Nine functional regional patches constitute a new network structure, maintaining connectivity between the regional patches can improve the overall efficiency of the RTN.


As an introduction to the subject of future accelerators, it will be useful to consider briefly the main points of discussion at the three international conferences on a similar theme held in 1956, 1959 and 1961. In 1956 there were several laboratories, in different parts of the world, engaged in building machines based on the latest important new principle in accelerator design, namely, alternating-gradient focusing. There was a feeling, however, that the end of the road had not yet been reached, and at the 1956 Conference the success of earlier innovations encouraged the accelerator physicists to present a number of new ideas. Some of them were rather natural extensions of known principles, as, for example, a machine of fixed frequency with alternating-gradient focusing (F. F. A. G. ; see Kerst et al. 1956). This was also the first conference at which there were serious suggestions for colliding-beam experiments (Kerst 1956). The ideas presented by the Russian physicists were much more spectacular; in particular the suggestion of Budker (1956) for setting up very large neutralized electron currents to provide guiding fields in the mega-gauss region.

The 3rd International Conference on Green Chemistry (ICGC-3) was held in Ottawa, Canada, 15-18 August 2010, with the theme “The Road to Greener Industry”. Bringing together academia and industry to trade ideas about green chemistry was the purpose of the meeting. Dedicated sessions on industrial aspects, presented by industry speakers, were well attended by both academics and industrial representatives. Academic sessions, in turn, presented new ideas to both groups. Major topics in the conference were green energy (biofuels, H2 production, CO2 capture), green engineering (energy efficiency, greener processes, separations), policy (industry, government, NGOs), green chemistry education, green transportation (materials, additives, powertrain) and green chemical synthesis (benign routes, solvents, catalysts, biopolymers). The 348 delegates travelled to Ottawa from 33 countries, making it a truly international discussion.This issue contains five important lectures from the conference. Peter Wells gives us a rather sobering discussion of some of the unintended consequences of green improvements. Zheng Cui, Evan S. Beach, and Paul T. Anastas describe many of the exciting green chemistry developments coming from China in the past three years. John Andraos announces a new database and algorithm that allows industry to evaluate the efficiency of synthesis plans. Achim Stolle and Bernd Ondruschka compare the performance and energy efficiency of solvent-free reactions performed by ball milling versus other methods such as microwave. Ken Seddon describes the use of new ionic liquids as catalysts for the oligomerization of linear terminal olefins to make lubricant oils.May these articles continue the discussion, stimulate more ideas, and help us all go down the Road to Greener Industry.Philip G.

This is an unusual paper in that it does not address a particular research topic or present a novel experimental method or a new theoretical result. This paper addresses our basic understanding of the nature of the evanescent wave, the wave that is the basis of the entire field of Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) spectroscopy. I recently had the opportunity to reexamine the foundations of ATR spectroscopy and was surprised to have had to change my own mental picture of the evanescent wave that I have built over the last 25 years. Over the years I have had numerous discussions with a large number of workers in the field as well as with my former mentor, and one of the originators and the principal developer of ATR spectroscopy, the late N.J. Harrick. Everything brought up in all these discussions was perfectly consistent with my old mental picture of the evanescent wave. Thus, I believe that the picture of the evanescent wave that I had is virtually universally held by workers in the field. This paper describes the new picture of the evanescent wave that emerged from said reexamination process.

Charles Kuralt was perhaps the most beloved journalist of his day via his “On the Road” television reports for CBS News. This article qualitatively examines those reports in the context of Kuralt's speeches and other writings. It argues that his stories not only drew upon ancient myths such as those of the “Other World” and the “Good Mother” but also uniquely American myths extolling self-reliance and individuals' ability to address social problems. The article examines whether those myths primarily served conservative, system-maintaining ends or presented a model for change in journalism and American society that is still relevant today.

The article reflects the aspects of epidemiology and principles of diagnosis in mandibular fractures. The problem remains relevant today. Due to the complexity of the mechanisms of the injury and their acceptance, a variety of clinical manifestations, the limited knowledge of the patients about their injury, the diagnosis and treatment of these injuries sometimes are difficult. Detailed examination with modern imaging techniques and accurate diagnosis are the key points in successful treatment and prevention of complications in this category of patients.
