Phrasemes with antonymic components (based on poetic texts)

The article analyzes the semantic functions of phrasemes with antonymic components in the poetic dictionary. Among the established collocations with semantically opposite components, recorded in poetic texts, two functional and semantic groups have been distinguished: phrasemes as a means of characterization of the individual and phrasemes used to evaluate objects, phenomena and processes of objective reality. As a result of the analysis, it has been found out that the phraseological units of the first group characterize age, physical properties, mental state, emotions, actions, religious beliefs of the individual and others. Among the phrasemes of the second group in poetic texts, typical phrases with antonymic components which represent the temporal characteristics of the action or state have been identified. Among the phrasemes that express locative relations, predominate established collocations, the components of which indicate the coverage of the whole space and form a stylistic figure – amphitheses. It has been found out that commonly used phraseological units, which are based on semantically opposed lexical units, undergo the following individual author’s transformations in poetic works: replacement of the stylistically neutral component of phraseological unit by its expressive synonym; expansion of phraseological unit by introducing additional components to clarify and enhance expressiveness; anonymization of a phraseological unit by replacing the connecting conjunction and in its composition by the negative particle no (not); creation of occasional meaning of a phraseological unit. The analysis of the factual material has shown that phrasemes with antonymic components in poetic texts perform various semantic functions (characterize the mental state, emotions, physical properties, actions of the individual; represent temporal and locative relations). Commonly used established collocations with semantically opposite components undergo various transformations in poetic works.

Almost Homogeneous Varieties of Albanese Codimension One

We classify almost homogeneous normal varieties of Albanese codimension $1$, defined over an arbitrary field. We prove that such a variety has a unique normal equivariant completion. Over a perfect field, the group scheme of automorphisms of this completion is smooth, except in one case in characteristic $2$, and we determine its (reduced) neutral component.

Modeling the X-ray emissions from the geo-space environment

<p>The Earth's magnetosheath is luminous in the soft X-ray band, due to the solar wind charge exchange (SWCX) process. SWCX occurs when a heavy solar wind ion with a high charge state encounters with a neutral component. The heavy ion obtains an electron and gets into an excited state. It then decays to the ground state and emits a photon in the soft X-ray band. Considering that the X-ray emission from the magnetosheath is higher compared to that from the magnetosphere, information about the boundary positions can be derived from an X-ray image of the magnetosheath.</p><p> </p><p>The solar wind - magnetosphere - ionosphere link explorer (SMILE) is a mission jointly supported by ESA and CAS, which aims at exploring the dynamics in the whole system. Soft X-ray Imager (SXI) is expected to provide X-ray images of the magnetosphere. The Modeling Working Group (MWG) is one of the four working groups of SMILE. Studies about the modeling of X-ray emissions as well as the method to derive the boundary positions are two main topics of the MWG. The main progress of MWG will be summarized here. </p>

Theory of Holographic Formation in Multicomponent Photopolymer-Based Nanocomposites-=SUP=-*-=/SUP=-

The derivation of the three-component (monomer, chemically neutral component, and polymer) photopolymerization model from general thermodynamic considerations is presented. This model, together with another previously published one, are subject to a numerical solution for the case of a two-component one-dimensional diffusion (polymer component being steady). The divergence of results of work for both models was compared based on the average speed of the root-mean-square deviation in the spatial spectrum domain for relative volume fraction functions for all three components. Such a comparison was performed for 81 pairs of initial relative amount of neutral component and effective diffusion coefficient. The results of the work may serve as a good guide for the choice of parameters of experiments, which are aimed to verify the correctness of the modified theory. Keywords: photopolymerization, photoformer, holographic grating, multicomponent diffusion, polymer, holography.

Investigations of Atmospheric Waves in the Earth Lower Ionosphere by Means of the Method of the Creation of the Artificial Periodic Irregularities of the Ionospheric Plasma

We present results of the studies of internal gravity waves based on altitude-time dependences of the temperature and the density of the neutral component and the velocity of the vertical plasma motion at altitudes of the lower ionosphere (60–130 km). The vertical plasma velocity, which in the specified altitude range is equal to the velocity of the neutral component, the temperature, and the density of the neutral atmosphere are determined by the method of the resonant scattering of radio waves by artificial periodic irregularities (APIs) of the ionosphere plasma. We have developed an API technique and now we are evolving it for studying the ionosphere and the neutral atmosphere using the Sura heating facility (56.1 N; 46.1 E), Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. An advantage of the API technique is the opportunity to determine the parameters of the undisturbed natural environment under a disturbance of the ionosphere by a field of powerful high frequency radio waves. Analysis of altitude-time variations of the neutral temperature, the density, and the vertical plasma velocity allows one to estimate periods of atmospheric waves propagation. Wavelike variations with a period from 5 min to 3 h and more are clearly determined.

Neutral component of the local interstellar medium

Purpose This paper aims to review the current knowledge about the neutral component of the local interstellar medium (LISM), which due to the resonant charge exchange, photoionization and electron impact ionization processes has a profound impact on the heliosphere structure. Design/methodology/approach This work is based on the heliospheric literature review. Findings The summary of four major effects of neutral hydrogen atoms penetrating solar wind (SW), i.e. the disappearance of the complicated flow structure; the emergence of “hydrogen wall” in front of the heliopause (HP); decreasing distance of termination shock (TS), HP and bow shock (BS) layer from the Sun; and recently discovered by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer mission, a region of enhanced energetic neutral atom (ENA) emission seen in all sky maps as a ribbon. Practical implications In the context of constantly developing space technologies in aerospace engineering and prospective deep space missions, there is a need of general reviews about the interstellar space surroundings of the Sun and gathering the knowledge to help in theoretical, numerical and experimental investigations such as the optimization of the scientific equipment and spacecraft structure to work in specific conditions. Originality/value The survey encapsulate basic and relevant processes playing an important role in the physics of the nearest surroundings of the Sun and the latest results of numerical and experimental investigations focused on the neutral LISM component and its influence on the heliosphere, which is strongly desired in future works. Until now, not many of such reviews have been done.
