The article discusses problems related to the Polish retrospective national bibliography formation. A brief historical overview of the issue is presented based on the Polish bibliography main work - «Bibliografia Estreichera». The definition of Polonica functioning in the modern library practice in Polan is given, as well as guidelines of materials selection for the national bibliography. It shows the difficulties with existing principles of referring works to Polonica evidently for publications of XVI-XVIII centuries, while explaining its individual criteria such as territorial, national, thematic and language ones.

Azeotropic or close – boiling mixtures often preclude conventional distillation as a method of separation. Instead, extractive or azeotropic distillations are commonly used to separate azeotropic or close – boiling mixtures. For the design of those separation units, selecting suitable entrainers (solvents) is a key step. The traditional method for solving this problem is to use experimentation which is time – consuming and expensive. Currently available selection criteria are inadequate. They contradict one another and often lead to incorrect conclusions. Indeed, for a minimum boiling azeotrope, the existing entrainer selection rules state that one should use a high boiling component that introduces no additional azeotrope (Benedict & Rubin, 1945), an intermediate boiling component that introduces no additional azeotrope (Hoffman, 1964), a component which introduces no distillation boundary between the azeotropic constituents (Doherty & Caldarola, 1985), and either a low boiling component that introduces no additional azeotrope or a component that introduces new minimum boiling azeotrope (Stichlmaric, Fair & Bravo, 1989).In this work, Aspen Plus simulator was used to propose an entrainer selection procedure based on the criteria: 1) A good entrainer is a component that eliminates the azeotrope easily (i.e. even when it’s concentration is small). 2) A component that yields high relative volatilities αAB between the two azeotrope constituents.

Abstract. In the construction of scales intended for the use in cross-cultural studies, the selection of items needs to be guided not only by traditional criteria of item quality, but has to take information about the measurement invariance of the scale into account. We present an approach to automated item selection which depicts the process as a combinatorial optimization problem and aims at finding a scale which fulfils predefined target criteria – such as measurement invariance across cultures. The search for an optimal solution is performed using an adaptation of the [Formula: see text] Ant System algorithm. The approach is illustrated using an application to item selection for a personality scale assuming measurement invariance across multiple countries.

Every pediatrician who has taught or worked in university pediatric outpatient departments recognizes the syndrome presented by Duff et al. in this issue of Pediatrics. The diagnosis is clear: effective student teaching is not occurring. The etiology of this problem is complex and not so clear. Some of the causes are inappropriate patient selection for beginning students, lack of effective administrative organization to achieve even limited teaching objectives, and lack of appropriate techniques to diagnose and manage the complex sociomedical problems presented. As a result, student, faculty, and patient dissatisfaction is very high. Effective management of the syndrome is even less clear. As with most complex problems, a clearer definition of the goals is the first step to a solution. What do we want the student to learn? How to gather information from families with such complex social and medical difficulties? Skills in diagnosis and management of common or rare health problems? Change of attitudes? Until each ambulatory program defines its teaching objectives more clearly in behaviorally measurable terms, effective management of the disease "poor patient care and teaching" will continue to elude us. I would, however, suggest the following considerations: 1. The first direct patient experiences which students have in ambulatory settings should be with patients who present considerably less complex problems than those available in most of our outpatient departments, and there should be a wider social class selection for the student's initial experience. To achieve this will require either a different patient recruitment procedure or the use of different settings for such education.

Objective. To examine the effect of patient selection criteria on immunization practice assessment outcomes. Methods. In 3 high- (50%–85%) and 7 low- (<25%) Medicaid pediatric practices in urban eastern Virginia, we assessed immunization rates of children 12 and 24 months old comparing thestandard criteria (charts in the active files excluding those that documented the child moved or went elsewhere) with 3 alternative criteria for selecting active patients: 1)follow-up: the chart contained a complete immunization record or the patient was found to be active in the practice through follow-up contact by phone or mail; 2) seen in the past year: the chart indicated that the patient was seen in the practice in the past year; 3) consecutive: patients that were seen consecutively for any reason. Results. Of the 1823 charts assessed in the high- and low-Medicaid practices, follow-up identified 61% and 83% as active patients; 78% and 95% were ever seen in the past year. At 24 months, mean practice immunization rates were lower for standard (70%) than all 3 alternative criteria (78%–86%). Immunization rate differences between standard and alternative criteria were greater in high- (17%–23%) than low-Medicaid practices (5%–13%). Conclusion. The standard for practice assessment should be based on a consistent definition of active patients as the immunization rate denominator.

Introduction. The present article is aiming to describe the procedure of stimuli selection for the psycho-semantic experiment on visual perception of imitative words in native (Russian) and non-native language (English). The methodology of the experiment is predominantly based on the implementation of the “lexical decision” method. Thus, the aim of the article is to verify the procedure of and to define clear-cut criteria for the material selection. In particular, we introduce indicating de-iconization stage of imitative words as an important criterion for data pre-selection. De-iconization is a gradual loss of an iconic sound-sense link in an imitative word due to the parallel impact of regular sound changes and semantic shifts.Methodology and sources. The  research  methodology  is  based  on  the  works  ofS. V. Voronin who is the founder of phonosemantics as a linguistic discipline inRussia, as well as on works of his followers (including a co-author of this paper, M. A. Flaksman). The article is also based on the methodology of research on phonotactics. The authors also use psycho-semantic methods such as the method of lexical decision. The main sources of stimuli selection are The Russia Etymological Dictionary by M. Vasmer, The Oxford English Dictionary, the frequency dictionaries by O. N. Liashevskaya and S. A. Sharov. The classification of imitative words according to their de-iconization stages was done by the method of the diachronic evaluation of the imitative lexicon.Results and discussion. As a result of a rigorous selection procedure described in the article the authors arrived on 128 stimuli (an even number (64 + 64) of words and quasiwords). The quasi-words are coined according to phonotactic rules and made according to the same pattern as the corresponding words. The group of real words is constituted of two sub-groups: 32 imitative words and 32 non-imitative words. The words from these two subgroups are homomorphous – they have the same number of syllables, frequency and belong to the same parts of speech. Imitative words include onomatopoeic and soundsymbolic words of different sub-classes and de-iconization stages. The combination of the material selection methods discussed in this paper (especially, the introduction of the distinction of imitative words according to their de-iconization stage) is aiming at facilitating the experiment procedure as well as eliminating the chance factors.Conclusion. The stimuli selection for the psycholinguistic experiment based on the procedure introduced in this paper allows to establish the existing patterns of the systematic function of human brain in the process of visual perception of imitative words on different de-iconization stages.
