In this paper we present the continuous hierarchical ordering of the first part of the definition of lexemes from the thematic group ?buildings? by analyzing the vertical organization of superordination of concepts in the lexicographical definition. We demonstrate that the vertical sequence mounts from a higher level of conceptual categorization, ?localizer,? in the form of complex and simple primitives (PLACE > SPACE [WHERE], SPACE > EXPANSE [SOMETHING THAT IS (BOUNDLESSLY) SPREADING IN EVERY DIRECTION]) and descends toward a lower hyperonimic level of ?buildings?. The suggested model links meanings systematically, on a micro-level of meaning within the polysemic structure, and on a macrolevel of meanings of lexemes belonging to a thematic group/class, which is significant for the descriptive lexicography and for the modeling of semantic description in the electronic dictionary of the contemporary Serbian language. Such description could facilitate the cross-referencing of lexemes and advanced search, which is essential both for linguists and dictionary users.

The article raises the problem of classification of the concepts of computer science and informatics studied at secondary school. The efficiency of creation of techniques of training of pupils in these concepts depends on its solution. The author proposes to consider classifications of the concepts of school informatics from four positions: on the cross-subject basis, the content lines of the educational subject "Informatics", the logical and structural interrelations and interactions of the studied concepts, the etymology of foreign-language and translated words in the definition of the concepts of informatics. As a result of the first classification general and special concepts are allocated; the second classification — inter-content and intra-content concepts; the third classification — stable (steady), expanding, key and auxiliary concepts; the fourth classification — concepts-nouns, conceptsverbs, concepts-adjectives and concepts — combinations of parts of speech.

ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Leftist Newspapers and Periodicals is a source for leftist publications (mostly newspapers), largely published in the twentieth century. Here, the user can access articles in PDF format from 156 national and international publications. Navigating this database and the documents therein can be easily done, but articles cannot be magnified or reduced, which may prove problematic with PDFs of old newspapers. Database content can be found through browsing or by using a basic and/or advanced search. The browse and basic search options here are understandable, but the advanced search is not self-explanatory and can possibly confuse the user. As a consequence, a new user of this database will probably benefit from instruction in its use from either the vendor or someone else familiar with this resource. However, when this search function is used properly it can produce numerous, on-point results for any query. The same is true of the basic search and browsing features, though they tend to produce larger lists of results that are less on-point than the advanced search. The vendor did not provide specific price information for this review, only indicating that pricing is determined by an institution's size and number of users. As this provides potential subscribers with very little insight into the cost of acquiring this resource, its advised that they contact ProQuest for a price quote tailored to their own institution. Its licensing agreement is the same as those used for all ProQuest databases and is average in its composition (though somewhat longer than average). The quality and quantity of content in this resource is notable, and it will certainly be of use to those looking for articles from leftist newspapers and periodicals. However, the definition of “leftist” here may be problematic for some users! Communist and Socialist publications are certainly available in this database, but those for Anarchists, Social Democrats, and other leftists are not.

The theory of angular vectors, which allows modelling of the properties of angular physical quantities, is considered. The meaning of the cross product of vectors was radically revised and changed. Formulas for finding torque and angular velocity in a coordinate-vector form with a correct mapping of their directions were deduced. Described definition of the inverse vector and its properties. The inversed vector allows us to perform vector division operations.

The article introduces situation analysis (cf. Clarke 2005) as an epistemologicalontological basis for science freed of the positivistic paradigm. Situation analysis in a broader perspective dives into present discourses as well as discourses that have been concealed. At the meso-level, the analysis offers insight into social and discursive arenas formed by collective actors, key material elements, social organizations and institutions. At the micro-level it is aimed at the position of individual actors in a situation. Situational analysis provides multidimensional research resonating marginalized discourses and supports the everydayness of knowledge in a socially engaged, emic research of social reality. The focus on language constructions in the humanities allows for the re-definition of one’s own entities, formulas, and rules. Their (im)possible transgression is a necessary response to the accelerated and diverse shape of the recent globalized and particularized society.

This research aims to know the interpretation the undefined terms on Hyperbolic geometry and it’s consistence with respect to own axioms of Poincare disk model. This research is a literature study that discusses about Hyperbolic geometry. This study refers to books of Foundation of Geometry second edition by Gerard A. Venema (2012), Euclidean and Non Euclidean Geometry (Development and History)  by Greenberg (1994), Geometry : Euclid and Beyond by Hartshorne (2000) and Euclidean Geometry: A First Course by M. Solomonovich (2010). The steps taken in the study are: (1) reviewing the various references on the topic of Hyperbolic geometry. (2) representing the definitions and theorems on which the Hyperbolic geometry is based. (3) prepare all materials that have been collected in coherence to facilitate the reader in understanding it. This research succeeded in interpret the undefined terms of Hyperbolic geometry on Poincare disk model. The point is coincide point in the Euclid on circle . Then the point onl γ is not an Euclid point. That point interprets the point on infinity. Lines are categoried in two types. The first type is any open diameters of   . The second type is any open arcs of circle. Half-plane in Poincare disk model is formed by Poincare line which divides Poincare field into two parts. The angle in this model is interpreted the same as the angle in Euclid geometry. The distance is interpreted in Poincare disk model defined by the cross-ratio as follows. The definition of distance from  to  is , where  is cross-ratio defined by  . Finally the study also is able to show that axioms of Hyperbolic geometry on the Poincare disk model consistent with respect to associated undefined terms.

The chapter focuses on the assessment of personality in an international context. Starting from the definition of personality, the chapter discusses the way culture and personality are mixed and sets then out to explain the emic (indigenous) versus etic (universal) debate in personality assessment. The combined emic-etic approach is outlined as an interesting evolution in cross-cultural personality assessment, and two measures based on this approach are discussed, the Cross-Cultural Personality Assessment Inventory (CPAI) and the South African Personality Inventory (SAPI). Finally, the chapter discusses the currently dominant model of personality used in assessment internationally, the five-factor model, outlining some of the dilemmas still being debated related to this model, such as the broad versus narrow debate, the cross-cultural replicability issue, and the bandwidth-fidelity dilemma.

In no branch of structural engineering is there a rigorous definition of the term “secondary stress.”If the primary stresses in a structure are determined, that is, the stresses in the members due to an external load system, assuming that all the members are joined together by perfect pin- or ball-joints, then the secondary stresses are in general taken to be the additional stresses due to the rigidity of the actual joints used in practice.In such a highly redundant structure as an airship hull the labour involved, in determining even the primary stresses, precludes the use of the normal methods of stressing. It is usual to make use of generalised methods which give approximate results. These generalised methods imply that the external loads are applied to the structure in a certain distribution. Though this is rarely achieved, yet the results obtained are in most cases sufficiently accurate if suitable bracing is supplied to redistribute the external loads over the cross-section; the effect of the initial wrong distribution being then merely local.

Although international branch campuses have become an established part of the cross-border higher education landscape, there is still debate about what an international branch campus actually is. The purpose of this article is to propose a revised definition of “international branch campus” that is clearer and more implementable than existing definitions. To achieve this goal, we considered how the terms “branch” and “campus” are used in business and higher education, and then identified the core features of these campuses.

Brittle creep in rock has great significance for the prediction of important geohazards and stability of deep underground excavations. A major challenge in this area is to link the time-dependent cracking with macroscopic mechanical behavior. In this paper, Ashby and Sammis’ microcrack model and Charles’ crack growth law are employed to investigate the time-dependent cracking during brittle creep in rock. Based on the macroscopic and micromechanical definition of damage in rock, a new theoretical model is suggested to establish the linkage between microcrack length and macroscopic strain. In order to verify the rationality of the suggested model, comparison between theoretical and experimental results is presented. Using this new model, brittle creep of Sanxia granite is investigated and discussed in detail. It is found that evolutions of wing crack length, strain, and damage perform a similar process during brittle creep and could be divided into three phases. Effects of model parameters on creep failure behaviors also are studied.

In this paper, we study the impact of city driveway occupancy on the urban road traffic capacity. Through the analysis of the scene of an accident case, we gained the vehicle statistics within a cross section in unit time and then did calculation and simulation. The work is concluded as a reasonable model of vehicle queue relationship evaluation.First, on the base of the definition of traffic capacity, statistics of the cars in the cross section before the accident, during the accident and after the accident have been respectively acquired in unit time (1 min). Then we employ Matlab to do the interpolation fitting, drawing the change of actual capacity of the road from the beginning time of an accident to the time when traffic resumes. The work comes to a conclusion that the change of the capacity at the cross section has a pattern of periodic fluctuation.
