Means of expression of an alternative in the Khanty language

Introduction: the article is devoted to the identification of means of expression of an alternative in the Khanty language. An alternative is one of the varieties of multiplicative type of multiplicity of situations. The analysis of the semantic zone of alternativeness revealed lexical and morphological means through which this meaning is expressed. Objective: to identify means of expression of an alternative in the Khanty language and to identify the most expressive one. Research materials: the bilingual (Khanty-Russian) dictionaries of the Kazym, the Shuryshkar and the Eastern Khanty dialects, as well as examples from theoretical research on the Khanty language. Results and novelty of the research: the scientific novelty of the research is that for the first time a comprehensive study of the semantic zone of an alternative in the Khanty language was conducted. The analysis reveals lexical and morphological means by which this meaning is realized. The alternative subsystem contains three groups: lexical means with semantics of an alternative; word-forming means expressing the meaning of an alternative; paired adverbs expressing mutually directed action. In the components of the first group the meaning of an alternative is the least expressed and difficult determined; the second group contains verbs formed by the word500 forming suffix =i=/=ij= ~ = ĭ=/=ĭj= (they express the multiplicative type of multiplicity of situations including an alternative); the most clearly the meaning of an alternative is presented in the group with paired adverbs.

This article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the structural and semantic features of dish names and their descriptions in German in the field of restaurant discourse. The study employs cognitive discourse analysis, elements of comparative and contextological approaches, taking into account linguocultural parameters. The relevance of the comprehensive study of the names of dishes in restaurant discourse is due to an increased interest in the parameterization of lexical units in different types of institutional discourse. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the fact that for the first time, within the framework of a restaurant menu, not only the nomination of a dish is considered, but also the structural and semantic characteristics of its description are analysed. An attempt is made to analyse a connection between the nominations of dishes and their description in the restaurant menu, as well as to determine the semantic dominants of the genre under study. It is concluded that the text of the menu as a whole presents a combination of the language for special purposes and the language of advertising. In interaction with extralinguistic factors, the nominations of dishes and their descriptions not only document the culture of food in society, but also reflect the ethnocultural picture of the world. Based on the analysis of the menu texts, it is established that structurally the names of dishes are complex words or phrases, built mainly according to the attributive model. The description of dishes performs the function of verbalizing the sensations of taste and clarifying the method of preparing dishes, characterizing the quality of dishes, their ingredients, and the intensity of taste. Evaluative parameters in descriptions are expressed at the lexical, grammatical, syntactic and stylistic levels.

Comprehensive Study

A comprehensive study of the composition of sand and silt deposits of the Yu1 horizon of the Vasyuganskaya Formation upper part of the Verkh-Tarskoye oil field has been carried out. Associations of authigenic minerals have been determined in their cement, among which the calcite is the most widespread. According to petrographic parameters, three generations of calcite have been identified for which detailed isotopicgeochemical and ultramicroscopic studies were carried out for the first time. Wide and multi directional changes in the isotopic composition of carbon and oxygen and in the chemical composition of carbonate minerals were recorded, they indicate significant variations in the conditions of diagenesis and catagenesis, primarily temperature, and different sources of CO2. Significant variations in the isotopic composition of formation waters and its relationship with the isotopic composition of carbonates have been established. Thus, a narrow interval of close δ13C values was revealed, amounting to –10.5 to –9.1 ‰ in the formation waters of group II, and from –10.7 to –9.1 ‰ in calcites of the third generation. The source of CO2 in this system should be considered a carbon dioxide, which is formed in the process of metamorphism of carbonate rocks of the Paleozoic age.

Comprehensive Study

A comprehensive study of the effects of nine organic additives on the formation of calcium sulfate scale in a pipe system was conducted using a multiple pipe flow system. Several factors that influence the inhibitory capability of phosphonic and carboxylic additives such as their chemical structure, their concentration, and the run time were closely scrutinized. Results showed that the organic additives influence the deposition of calcium sulfate on the walls of a pipe flow system at various levels. The superiority of the phosphonic additives, especially N,N,N′,N′-ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonic acid (EDTP) and nitrilotrimethylenephosphonic acid (NTMP), to other organic compounds with respect to scale prevention is discussed thoroughly. For the first time, it was demonstrated that a solution with a given concentration of inhibitor that is continuously refreshed in a pipe reactor becomes less effective over time. The morphology of the scales formed in the presence of different additives is also studied, using scanning electron microscopy.

A comprehensive study of the serpentinite and associated veins belonging to the Frido Unit in the Pollino Massif (southern Italy) is presented here with the aim to provide new constraints about the hydrothermal system hosted by the accretionary wedge of the southern Apennines. The studied serpentinites are from two different sites: Fosso Arcangelo and Pietrapica. In both sites, the rocks show mylonitic-cataclastic structures and pseudomorphic and patch textures and are traversing by pervasive carbonate and quartz-carbonate veins. The mineralogical assemblage of serpentinites consists of serpentine group minerals (with a predominance of lizardite), amphiboles, pyroxene, chlorite, titanite, magnetite, and talc. In some samples, hydro-garnet was also detected and documented here for the first time. As for cutting veins, different mineralogical compositions were observed in the two sites: calcite characterizes the veins from Fosso Arcangelo, whereas quartz and dolomite are the principal minerals of the Pietrapica veins infill, suggesting a different composition of mineralizing fluids. Stable isotopes of C and O also indicate such a different chemistry. In detail, samples from the Pietrapica site are characterized by δ13C fluctuations coupled with a δ18O shift documenting calcite formation in an open-system where mixing between deep and shallow fluids occurred. Conversely, δ13C and δ18O of the Fosso Arcangelo veins show a decarbonation trend, suggesting their developing in a closed-system at deeper crustal conditions. Precipitation temperature calculated for both sites indicates a similar range (80 °C to 120 °C), thus suggesting carbonate precipitation within the same thermal system.

Comprehensive Study

A comprehensive study is attempted of the pre-1600 monuments in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Use is made for the first time of a key source, the set of plans of the chapel floors made by Henry Emlyn in 1789. These show the chapel once W have contained a large collection of monumental brasses. The plans are examined alongside the evidence of the extant indents in the chapel and cloister to reconstruct the original lay-out of the brasses. It is demonstrated that the great majority of the brasses commemorated the deans and canons who served the chapel. It is argued that the character of the chapel as a mausoleum changed after 1475, when Edward IV embarked on the building of the present fabric. From this time, the ranks of the commemorated expanded to include layfolk, particularly Knights of the Garter and men with royal connections, while, alongside the brasses, big sculpted monuments were commissioned in the side chapels of the building.

Design Guidance

The study of purely organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) has drawn increasing attention because of its considerable theoretical research and practical application value. Currently, organic RTP materials with both high efficiency (ФP > 20%) and a long lifetime (τP > 10 s) in air are still scarce due to the lack of related design guidance. Here, we report a new strategy to increase the phosphorescence performance of organic materials by integrating the RTP host and RTP guest in one doping system to form a triplet exciplex. With these materials, the high-contrast labelling of tumours in living mice and encrypted patterns in thermal printing are both successfully realized for the first time by taking advantage of both the long afterglow time (up to 25 min in aqueous media) and high phosphorescence efficiency (43%).

Axial Piston

The subject of study in the article is the amount of leaks of the working fluid in the gap between the plunger and the bushing of an aircraft axial-plunger pump, depending on the position of the plunger relative to the bushing. The level of fluid leaks in the gap between the plunger and the cylinder block bushing is a component of volumetric losses, affects the thermal state, wear, the state of the plunger-bushing pair, as well as the level of pressure pulsations of the working fluid and, ultimately, the change in the efficiency of the axial-plunger pump. Researches deal with the influence of piston defects in a bushing on losses through a gap between them that is not discovered in existent literature. The aim of this work is theoretical research of the influence of piston defect on the leakage of working liquid through a gap between the piston and cylindrical bushing in aviation axial-piston pump under workloads. The tasks are: it is necessary to define the losses quantity for the three cases: the axes of piston and bushing coincide; piston is displaced (axes are parallel) with a maximal eccentricity ε = 0.99; piston is twisted in a bushing so that the edges of piston touch a bushing. For the problem-solving methods as follows were used. The task of thin film laminar flow in a gap between piston and bushing was solved by a numeral method in finite-element software. Losses on a piston are considered as a sum of the losses, related to the motion of the piston at a speed W and losses due to the pressure gradient dp/dz. The results are: to obtain the laws of geometrical parameters influence on the losses amount investigation for one piston was undertaken in the first part of the study. It is marked that most losses take place for piston displaced in parallel, and the least - for twisted. Total losses for the real pump on different operational behaviors are considered and volume loss-of-flows are obtained in the second part of the article. Conclusions. Dependences of losses through a gap at the different gap sizes and relative length of bushing for twisted piston are first time obtained. The results allow estimating the losses quantity in a pump on the efficiency of his work at planning and exploitation.
