This paper discusses the problems of lexicographical representation of Modern Greek constructional phrasemes – productive phraseological patterns with one or more variable components (slots). The analysis of Modern Greek general and phraseological dictionaries has shown that, in Modern Greek lexicography, there is no unified approach towards the description of this type of phraseologisms. One of the significant problems associated with lexicographical treatment of Modern Greek constructional phrasemes is that some of them are registered in dictionaries as fully fixed expressions with their slot(s) filled with a specific lexeme or a specific proposition, without any indication that these expressions possess a variable component. Such lexicographical representation of productive phraseological patterns does not reflect the real linguistic usage and does not allow the reader of the dictionary to understand that the expressions described in the dictionary as fully fixed show considerable variation and possess one or two slots that can be filled with a wide range of words or word combinations. The corpus analysis of the constructional phraseme Ούτε να Ρ (literally, ‘neither if’), which is registered in Modern Greek dictionaries in five different, all fully lexically specified forms, has shown that the specific realizations of this productive phraseological pattern included in the dictionaries either have relatively low frequency of occurrence in the corpus, or are not encountered in the corpus at all. Other realizations of this phraseological pattern account for over 92 % of all the cases of its use in the corpus, but the common pattern behind them can hardly be identified with the help of the existing lexicographical descriptions, as it is registered in the dictionaries under the lemmas of five different lexemes that do not form part of its fixed component. Based on the findings of this study, the paper raises the issue of developing a new approach towards the description of productive phraseological patterns that currently pose a significant challenge for adequate lexicographical representation.

This paper presents the results of an analytical and experimental study of ride vibrations in an automobile over roads of various degrees of roughness. Roadway roughness inputs were measured. Three different linear mathematical models were employed to predict the acceleration response of the vehicle body. The models used included two, four, and seven degrees of freedom, primarily for vertical direction motion. The results show that the prime source of errors in predicting responses of this type lies in the common assumptions made for roadway roughness spectra. With adequate description of the roadway inputs, the results showed that the seven degree of freedom model accurately predicted the low frequency response (up to 10 Hz). Using the seven degree of freedom model, predicted accelerations compare well with measured data for a wide range of roadways in the low frequency range. Higher frequency components in the measured acceleration response are significant and are illustrated here.

AbstractStudying dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) has been the focus of many studies in recent years. The most commonly used estimator for dFC uses a sliding window in combination with a connectivity estimator such as Pearson correlation. Here, we propose a new approach to estimate connectivity while preserving its full frequency range and subsequently examine both static and dynamic connectivity in one unified approach. This approach which we call filter banked connectivity (FBC), implements frequency tiling directly in the connectivity domain contrary to other studies where frequency tiling is done in the activity domain. This leads to more accurate modeling, and a unified approach to capture connectivity ranging from static to highly dynamic, avoiding the need to pick a specific band as in a sliding window approach.First, we demonstrated that our proposed approach, can estimate connectivity at frequencies that sliding window approach fails. Next we evaluated the ability of the approach to identify group differences by using the FBC approach to estimate dFNC in a resting fMRI data set including schizophrenia patients (SZ, n=151) and typical controls (TC, n=163). To summarize the results, we used k-means to cluster the FBC values into different clusters. Some states showed very weak low frequency strength and as such SWPC was not well suited to capture them. Additionally, we found that SZs tend to spend more time in states exhibiting higher frequencies and engaging the default mode network and its anticorrelations with other networks compared to TCs which spent more time in lower frequency states which primarily includes strong intercorrelations within the sensorimotor domains. In summary, the proposed approach offers a novel way to estimate connectivity while unifying static and dynamic connectivity analyses and can provide additional otherwise missed information about the frequency profile of connectivity patterns.

Since the introduction of the common depth point method of seismic reflection shooting, we have seen a continued increase in the multiplicity of subsurface coverage, to the point where nowadays a large proportion of offshore shooting uses a 48 fold 48 trace configuration. Of the many benefits obtained from this multiplicity of coverage, the attenuation of multiple reflections during the common depth point stacking process is one of the most important.Examinations of theoretical response curves for multiple attenuation in common depth point stacking shows that although increased multiplicity does give improved multiple attenuation, this improvement occurs at higher and higher frequencies and residual moveouts (of the multiples) as the multiplicity continues to increase. For multiplicities greater than 12, the improvement is at relatively high frequencies and residual moveouts, while there is no significant improvement for the lower frequencies of multiples with smaller residual moveouts, which unfortunately are those most likely to remain visible after the stacking process.The simple process of zeroing, or muting, certain selected traces (mostly the shorter offset traces) before stacking can give an average 6 to 9 decibels improvement over a wide range of the low frequency and residual moveout part of the stack response, with 9-15 decibels improvement over parts of this range. The cost of this improvement is an increase in random noise level of 1-2 decibels. With digital processing methods, it is easy to zero the necessary traces over selected portions of the seismic section if so desired.The process does not require a detailed knowledge of the multiple residual moveouts, but can be used on a routine basis in areas where strong multiples are a problem, and a high stacking multiplicity is being used.

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is a document characterized by a high level of generality, addressed to a wide range of readers. The conceptual paradigm included in the document could constitute the basis for a new trend in language didactics; however, a lot of further work and research should be carried out for the new approach to achieve the status of independent and efficient methodology. The first prerequisite for introducing necessary modifications is a reflexive approach to the recommendations of CEFR, especially those which are methodological in character. The lack of any rules or procedures showing how to facilitate the achievement of learning objectives is the most frequent objection made against the CEFR. The focus on what has to be taught should go along with how to teach and why. Reflexivity which occupies a marginal position in the CEFR has to become a priority for its users if the methodology outlined there is to constitute the new era in language didactics.

Background: The default mode interference hypothesis ( Sonuga-Barke & Castellanos, 2007 ) predicts (1) the attenuation of very low frequency oscillations (VLFO; e.g., .05 Hz) in brain activity within the default mode network during the transition from rest to task, and (2) that failures to attenuate in this way will lead to an increased likelihood of periodic attention lapses that are synchronized to the VLFO pattern. Here, we tested these predictions using DC-EEG recordings within and outside of a previously identified network of electrode locations hypothesized to reflect DMN activity (i.e., S3 network; Helps et al., 2008 ). Method: 24 young adults (mean age 22.3 years; 8 male), sampled to include a wide range of ADHD symptoms, took part in a study of rest to task transitions. Two conditions were compared: 5 min of rest (eyes open) and a 10-min simple 2-choice RT task with a relatively high sampling rate (ISI 1 s). DC-EEG was recorded during both conditions, and the low-frequency spectrum was decomposed and measures of the power within specific bands extracted. Results: Shift from rest to task led to an attenuation of VLFO activity within the S3 network which was inversely associated with ADHD symptoms. RT during task also showed a VLFO signature. During task there was a small but significant degree of synchronization between EEG and RT in the VLFO band. Attenuators showed a lower degree of synchrony than nonattenuators. Discussion: The results provide some initial EEG-based support for the default mode interference hypothesis and suggest that failure to attenuate VLFO in the S3 network is associated with higher synchrony between low-frequency brain activity and RT fluctuations during a simple RT task. Although significant, the effects were small and future research should employ tasks with a higher sampling rate to increase the possibility of extracting robust and stable signals.

Molecular self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature and has emerged as a new approach to produce new materials in chemistry, engineering, nanotechnology, polymer science and materials. Molecular self-assembly has been attracting increasing interest from the scientific community in recent years due to its importance in understanding biology and a variety of diseases at the molecular level. In the last few years, considerable advances have been made in the use ofpeptides as building blocks to produce biological materials for wide range of applications, including fabricating novel supra-molecular structures and scaffolding for tissue repair. The study ofbiological self-assembly systems represents a significant advancement in molecular engineering and is a rapidly growing scientific and engineering field that crosses the boundaries ofexisting disciplines. Many self-assembling systems are rangefrom bi- andtri-block copolymers to DNA structures as well as simple and complex proteins andpeptides. The ultimate goal is to harness molecular self-assembly such that design andcontrol ofbottom-up processes is achieved thereby enabling exploitation of structures developed at the meso- and macro-scopic scale for the purposes oflife and non-life science applications. Such aspirations can be achievedthrough understanding thefundamental principles behind the selforganisation and self-synthesis processes exhibited by biological systems.

Currently, simple, rapid, and efficient techniques for DNA isolation from a wide range of organisms are in demand in biotechnology and bioinformatics. A key (and often limiting) step is the cell wall disruption and subsequent DNA extraction from the disintegrated cells. We have developed a new approach to DNA isolation from organisms with robust cell walls. The protocol includes the following steps: treatment of cells or tissue samples with ammonium acetate followed by cell lysis in low-salt buffer with the addition of SDS. Further DNA extraction is carried out according to standard methods. This approach is efficient for high-molecular native DNA isolation from bacteria, ascomycetes, yeast, and mammalian blood; it is also useful for express analysis of environmental microbial isolates and for plasmid extraction for two-hybrid library screening. express method for DNA isolation; ammonium salt treatment (в русских ключевых такой порядок), osmotic breakage of cells This study was financially supported by the NRC "Kurchatov Institute"-GOSNIIGENETIKA Kurchatov Genomic Center.
