Universals Archive (Universal #1926) indicates a universal tendency for sound symbolism in reference to the expression of diminutives and augmentatives. The research ( Štekauer et al. 2009 ) carried out on European languages has not proved the tendency at all. Therefore, our research was extended to cover three language families – Indo-European, Niger-Congo and Austronesian. A three-step analysis examining different aspects of phonetic symbolism was carried out on a core vocabulary of 35 lexical items. A research sample was selected out of 60 languages. The evaluative markers were analyzed according to both phonetic classification of vowels and consonants and Ultan's and Niewenhuis' conclusions on the dominance of palatal and post-alveolar consonants in diminutive markers. Finally, the data obtained in our sample languages was evaluated by means of a three-dimensional model illustrating the place of articulation of the individual segments.

Despite the large number of existing methods of the diagnosis of the brain, brain remains the least studied part of the human body. Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the most popular methods of studying of brain activity due to its relative cheapness, harmless, and mobility of equipment. While analyzing the EEG data of the brain, the problem of solving of the inverse problem of electroencephalography, the localization of the sources of electrical activity of the brain, arises. This problem can be formulated as follows: according to the signals recorded on the surface of the head, it is necessary to determine the location of sources of these signals in the brain. The purpose of my research is to develop a software system for localization of brain activity sources based on the joint analysis of EEG and sMRI data. There are various approaches to solving of the inverse problem of EEG. To obtain the most exact results, some of them involve the use of data on the individual anatomy of the human head – structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI data). In this paper, one of these approaches is supposed to be used – Electromagnetic Spatiotemporal Independent Component Analysis (EMSICA) proposed by A. Tsai. The article describes the main stages of the system, such as preprocessing of the initial data; the calculation of the special matrix of the EMSICA approach, the values of which show the level of activity of a certain part of the brain; visualization of brain activity sources on its three-dimensional model.

AbstractThis case report involved the development of a rehabilitation system for patient with edentulism and an algorithm for diagnostic and therapeutic measures to be planned based on the patient’s individual anatomical and physiological features. The results of treatment and rehabilitation made it possible to achieve the optimal distribution of loads on the dentition. It was shown that it is necessary to analyze casts in an articulator to reproduce a three-dimensional model of mandibular movements taking into account the individual features of the patient to obtain a satisfactory assessment and treatment planning of patients with edentulism requiring full mouth reconstruction. This case confirms that the developed algorithm is anatomically and pathogenetically justified, as it considers all changes and interrelationships of structures of the dentition.

The paper presents a classification of 51 solvents based on clustering in three-dimensional space formed by the empirical scale of PAC, PBC, and PPC parameters designed for interpretation of solvent effect on a model with cross-terms. For the classification used are the clustering methods of the nearest neighbour, of the furthest neighbour, of average bond, and the centroid method. As a result, the solvents have been divided into 8 classes denoted as: I - nonpolar-inert solvents (aliphatic hydrocarbons), IIp - nonpolar-polarizable (aromatic hydrocarbons, tetrachloromethane, carbon disulphide), IIb - nonpolar-basic (ethers, triethylamine), IIIp - little polar-polarizable (aliphatic halogen derivatives, substituted benzenes with heteroatom-containing substituents), IIIb - little polar-basic (cyclic ethers, ketones, esters, pyridine), IVa - polar-aprotic (acetanhydride, dialkylamides, acetonitrile, nitromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfolane), IVp - polar-protic (alcohols, acetic acid), and V - exceptional solvents (water, formamide, glycol, hexamethylphosphoric triamide). The information content of the individual parameters used for the classification has been determined. The classification is based primarily on solvent polarity/acidity (PAC), less on polarity/basicity (PBC), and the least on polarity/polarizability (PPC). Causal relation between chemical structure of solvent and its effect on the process taking place therein has been established.

A model is suggested here which describes the theoretical relationships between different cognitive processes. It is hoped that this model will contribute towards a tightening of the scientific conceptual network, mainly on the “soft” side of cognitive processes theorization. Concepts which are hitherto loosely used will gain clearer, distinctive definition; this applies to concepts like imagery, imagination, fantasy, daydreaming, dreaming, divergent thinking, creativity, etc. In this same model the relationships between these concepts and concepts such as learning, problem solving, information processing, thinking, semantic organization, etc., as well as the relationships among the latter concepts to each other, will also become explicit.

This paper presents a simulation of the economizer zone, which allows for the condition of the shell-side flow and tube-side and tube-wall, thermal fields, and of the shell-tube heat-exchange. Selection of the economizer zone from the thermal power plant only because, it is found trends of failure that the economizer is the zone where the leakages are found more. The maximum number of cause of failure in economizer unit is due to flue gas erosion. The past failure details revels that erosion is more in U-bend areas of Economizer Unit because of increase in flue gas velocity near these bends. But it is observed that the velocity of flue gases surprisingly increases near the lower bends as compared to upper ones. The model is solved using conventional CFD techniques by STAR- CCM+ software. In which the individual tubes are treated as sub-grid features. A geometrical model is used to describe the multiplicity of heat-exchanging structures and the interconnections among them. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach is utilised for the creation of a three-dimensional model of the economizer coil. With equilibrium assumption applied for description of the system chemistry. The flue gas temperature, pressure and velocity field of fluid flow within an economizer tube using the actual boundary conditions have been analyzed using CFD tool. Such as the ability to quickly analyse a variety of design options without modifying the object and the availability of significantly more data to interpret the results. This study is a classic example of numerical investigation into the problem of turbulent reacting flows in large scale furnaces employed in thermal power plants for the remediation of ash deposition problems. And the experimental setup is from Chandrapur Super Thermal Power Station, Chandrapur having the unit no IV of 210 MW energy generations.

This article deals with the topic of one of the most important features of modern CAx class systems – associativity. The term refers to the ability to form relations (links) between two or more objects (in terms of their selected features), and with the consequence creating an associative (linked) three-dimensional model. The author pays special attention to the very process of creating relations between objects, as it has a key impact on the structural stability of CAD class models, and thus on their susceptibility to possible modifications. To show that not all associativity brings a positive effect, the author presents two examples of its implementation. In order to emphasize the influence of the method of linking individual elements, both examples are based on the same 3D model – a thin-walled part with a positioning pin. That means the geometric form of the default part is the same, whereas only relations of the individual objects of the 3D model change. In the first scenario, correctly defined relations between objects make that the positioning pin offset does not affect the initial design conditions. The second scenario shows an incorrect implementation of associativity, as a result of which the same operation of positioning pin offset gives non-compliance with the initial design conditions and with the consequence an undesirable change in its geometry. The article is an attempt to draw attention to the fact that the associative structure of 3D models is not always equal to the optimal solution. Only the well-thought-out nature of associativity allows to use all its advantages.

The paper considers issues related to classifying techniques of educational activities. The lack of logically consistent overall classification of educational activities is emphasized. To develop such classification it is proposed to identify explicit and implicit attributes of the «technique» notion. One of the explicit attributes is a set of conditions necessary for the technique to be designed and implemented. Implicit attributes depend on psychological and pedagogical theories applied for technique designing in the course of pedagogical phenomena modeling. The author identifies three groups of explicit attributes, namely, educational goals; educational contents; contingent of learners. Possible variations of the said attributes are described. Also described are various taxonomies of goals, kinds of educational contents and types of learners by stage of education and intellectual development of learners. To facilitate classification of educational activities techniques the orthogonal three-dimensional model is constructed to serve as a morphological matrix, describing a set of technologies, necessary to implementing the State educational standards.

Part I of this work presents a combined one-dimensional/three-dimensional approach for obtaining a unified model for the dynamics of micro- and macro-drills. To increase the numerical efficiency of the model, portions of the drill with circular cross-section (shank, extension, and tapered sections) are modeled using one-dimensional beam models without compromising model accuracy. A three-dimensional model is used for an accurate representation of the fluted section, considering the actual geometry with the pretwisted shape and axially varying (nonaxisymmetric) cross-section. The actual cross-section of the drills is incorporated to the model through a polynomial mapping while the pretwist effect is captured by defining a rotating reference frame. The boundary-value problem for both one- and three-dimensional models are derived using a variational approach, based on the extended Hamilton’s principle, and are subsequently solved by applying the spectral-Tchebychev technique. A component-mode synthesis is used for connecting the individual sections to obtain the dynamic model for the entire drill. Convergence of the model is studied by varying the number of polynomials for each section. The experimental validation of the model is included in Part II for both macro- and micro-drills. Also included in Part II is an analysis of drill dynamics for varying drill-geometry parameters and axial (thrust) force.

AbstractEsophageal lung is a rare entity that results from embryological alterations during the formation of the ventral wall of the anterior intestine. The clinical manifestations of this pathology are vague, including respiratory or digestive symptoms, repetitive respiratory infections, dysphagia, or inability to swallow. The management is based on the exact anatomical and vascular abnormalities. We report the diagnostic and therapeutic approach in a preterm boy with esophageal lung. Also, we present a three-dimensional model for the classification of this pathology. In conclusion, the management relies on proper definition of the anatomy and the surgical strategy.
