The Fable Arrangement of John Ruskin‘s ‘The King of the Golden River’

The article presents a fable study of J. Ruskin’s novel ‘The King of the Golden River’ in accordance with the four-phase model of the literary text plot development. There sequentially come the separation phase, which corresponds to the description of the characters in the category of their values-based orientations; the partnership phase – meeting supernatural creatures, who become enemies for the older brothers and helpers for the youngest; challenges with moral duty; the deadly challenge phase – risky adventure and meeting with dying creatures; this phase is left uncompleted for the older brothers, but fir the youngest one it introduces the incorporation phase, which transforms the main character in their new internality. The study of John Ruskin‘s novel ‘The King of the Golden River’ based on the classic fable system lets consider the evolution of the genre of a literary fairytale and expound its ideological and literary value.     Keywords: fable; plot; novel; separation phase; partnership phase; liminal phase; incorporation phase; main character

Evaluating Variable-Length Multiple-Option Lists in Chatbots and Mobile Search

In recent years, the proliferation of smart mobile devices has lead to the gradual integration of search functionality within mobile platforms. This has created an incentive to move away from the "ten blue links'' metaphor, as mobile users are less likely to click on them, expecting to get the answer directly from the snippets. In turn, this has revived the interest in Question Answering. Then, along came chatbots, conversational systems, and messaging platforms, where the user needs could be better served with the system asking follow-up questions in order to better understand the user's intent. While typically a user would expect a single response at any utterance, a system could also return multiple options for the user to select from, based on different system understandings of the user's intent. However, this possibility should not be overused, as this practice could confuse and/or annoy the user. How to produce good variable-length lists, given the conflicting objectives of staying short while maximizing the likelihood of having a correct answer included in the list, is an underexplored problem. It is also unclear how to evaluate a system that tries to do that. Here we aim to bridge this gap. In particular, we define some necessary and some optional properties that an evaluation measure fit for this purpose should have. We further show that existing evaluation measures from the IR tradition are not entirely suitable for this setup, and we propose novel evaluation measures that address it satisfactorily.Comment: 4 pages, in Proceeding of SIGIR 201

Legal certainty of legality principle in the legislation of the continental and anglo-american system

In this article, through the comparative legal analysis of domestic, as well as foreign constitutional and criminal law norm content, various approaches to the principle of legality and its main features were examine

Nonisospectral integrable nonlinear equations with external potentials and their GBDT solutions

Auxiliary systems for matrix nonisospectral equations, including coupled NLS with external potential and KdV with variable coefficients, were introduced. Explicit solutions of nonisospectral equations were constructed using the GBDT version of the B\"acklund-Darboux transformation

INVERSE SCATTERING TRANSFORM ANALYSIS OF STOKES-ANTI-STOKES STIMULATED RAMAN SCATTERING

Zakharov-Shabat--Ablowitz-Kaup-Newel-Segur representation for Stokes-anti-Stokes stimulated Raman scattering is proposed. Periodical waves, solitons and self-similarity solutions are derived. Transient and bright threshold solitons are discussed.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX, no figure

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON CHROMATICITY FORMATION ON METALS SURFACE BY LASER RADIATION

The paper presents experimental studies and the way of chromaticity formation on stainless steel surface at the exposure of pulse laser radiation. Methods of reflection coefficient calculation of oxide iron films on iron are described. We perform calculation of reflection coefficient dependence on wavelength in the visible range and thickness of an oxidic film on the marked surface. The effect is shown that an oxidic film thickness has on the formed surface color owing to interference on the system of films of iron oxide and iron. It is shown how reflection function is displaced to the left and its amplitude decreases with the hade increase. By results of raster electronic microscopy significant oxygen increase in the places of exposure is recorded that points to formation of oxidic films. The profile analysis of oxidic films obtained on the metals surface is carried out and the dependence of chromaticity of the modified surface on laser radiation parameters is shown
