    Эпистолярные тексты В. А. Жуковского и А. С. Пушкина: к вопросу о метапереводе

    Get PDF
    Рассматриваются вопросы русско-французского двуязычия русской литературы начала XIX в. и, в частности, феномен метаперевода на примере текстов В. А. Жуковского и А. С. Пушкина. Делается вывод о субстратной функции французского языка в процессе речепорождения на русском языке в силу особенностей коммуникативной ситуации, одновременно требующей и исключающей употребление французского языка как формы общения

    Structural studies of Fe0.81Ga0.19 by reciprocal space mapping

    Reciprocal lattice mapping has been performed on Fe0.81Ga0.19 crystals by ω–ω/2θ, Ψ–ϕ, and ω–ϕ scans. A strong elongation of the 〈001〉c peak was found along the〈110〉c direction. ω scans revealed short lateral correlation lengths ξ along 〈110〉cand strong diffuse scattering along the 〈001〉c. Multiple domains with monoclinic symmetry (angle ∼190°) were observed by Ψ–ϕ and ω–ϕ scans on the (001)c face, and were also tilted with respect to each other. The results show an average cubic structure with orthorhombic structural modulations, and two structural domain states that result in a limiting monoclinic symmetry

    A simple strand-specific RNA-Seq library preparation protocol combining the Illumina TruSeq RNA and the dUTP methods

    Preserving the original RNA orientation information in RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) experiment is essential to the analysis and understanding of the complexity of mammalian transcriptomes. We describe herein a simple, robust, and time-effective protocol for generating strand-specific RNA-seq libraries suited for the Illumina sequencing platform. We modified the Illumina TruSeq RNA sample preparation by implementing the strand specificity feature using the dUTP method. This protocol uses low amounts of starting material and allows a fast processing within two days. It can be easily implemented and requires only few additional reagents to the original Illumina kit

    Magnetic Tweed Contrast In Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloys

    Get PDF
    Recently, ferromagnetic martensite, specifically ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FMSMAs), have received renewed attention because of their large domain motion induced magnetostrictive strains. In the low temperature phase of these alloys, 90◦ magnetic domain walls are simultaneously elastic twin boundaries. Above the temperature at which these alloys undergo a near second order martensitic transformation, their microstructure as observed by two-beam TEM methods, consists of the well known tweed contrast. This structure represents a random mixture of incipient twins of the martensitic phase. The transformation hysteresis of Co-Ni-Ga FMSMAs is quite small. In addition, the alloy is elastically soft similar to others that undergo a near second order martensitic transformation. Therefore, it is possible that magnetic tweed be observed in this alloy. This paper reports on its observation by conventional TEM, electron diffraction and Lorentz microscopy

    Growth and electronic and magnetic structure of iron oxide films on Pt(111)

    Ultrathin (111)-oriented polar iron oxide films were grown on a Pt(111) single crystal either by the reactive deposition of iron or oxidation of metallic iron monolayers. These films were characterized using low energy electron diffraction, scanning tunneling microscopy and conversion electron Mossbauer spectroscopy. The reactive deposition of Fe led to the island growth of Fe3O4, in which the electronic and magnetic properties of the bulk material were modulated by superparamagnetic size effects for thicknesses below 2 nm, revealing specific surface and interface features. In contrast, the oxide films with FeO stoichiometry, which could be stabilized as thick as 4 nm under special preparation conditions, had electronic and magnetic properties that were very different from their bulk counterpart, w\"ustite. Unusual long range magnetic order appeared at room temperature for thicknesses between three and ten monolayers, the appearance of which requires severe structural modification from the rock-salt structure.Comment: 17 pages, 6 figures, 50 reference

The paper also demonstrates the actual topic of nowadays studies connected with human cloning and its aftereffects for science and society. The article may be useful for a wide audience and for people, who are interested in studies of cloning and problems of its realization

    Tuning crystallographic compatibility to enhance shape memory in ceramics

    Get PDF
    The extraordinary ability of shape-memory alloys to recover after large imposed deformation motivates efforts to transpose these properties onto ceramics, which would enable practical shape-memory properties at high temperatures and in harsh environments. The theory of mechanical compatibility was utilized to predict promising ceramic candidates in the system (Y_(0.5)Ta_(0.5)O_2)_(1−x)−(Zr_(0.5)Hf_(0.5)O_2)_x, 0.6< x < 0.85. When these compatibility conditions are met, a reduction in thermal hysteresis by a factor of 2.5, a tripling of deformability, and a 75% enhancement in strain recovery within the shape-memory effect was found. These findings reveal that predicting and optimizing the chemical composition of ceramics to attain improved crystallographic compatibility is a powerful tool for enabling and enhancing their deformability that could ultimately lead to a highly reversible oxide ceramic shape-memory material
