Impactful beauty or serious disgust

The Japanese language utilizes primarily three writing systems; Kanji, hiragana and katakana. The latter two are known as kana. All three writing systems have their own unique role when writing in Japanese. Corresponding to their primary roles, there are various ‘sub roles’ as well. This paper will mainly be focusing on the katakana writing system’s lesser known role, emphasizing. Seven interviews have been conducted in order to find answers on this phenomenon. The purpose of this paper is to find out how emphasizing with katakana is utilized, when it is used and by whom it is used. These questions are answered by four Japanese native speakers around the ages 20-21 and three Japanese native speakers that are around the age of 40

The accuracy of DGPS surveys on the basis of test measurements with a Leica GS20 receiver

In our article we deal with studying the accuracy of DGPS surveys. The test measurements focussed on this purpose with a LEICA GS20 GPS receiver were very useful for us for various reasons. Firstly, we got acquainted with the operation of a hand-held GIS GPS receiver which is considered to be a relatively new one on the market and the usage of the appropriate post-processing software, secondly when analyzing the results we studied the improving accuracy of our test measurements performed with a single receiver using various corrections. Accordingly, ground corrections originated from PENC control station were considered on the one hand, on the other hand EGNOS corrections were applied when we formed an opinion of the problem raised in the title of this study

The Kerr rotation in the unconventional superconductor Sr2_2RuO4_4

The interpretation of Kerr rotation measurements in the superconducting phase of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ is a controversial topic. Both intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms have been proposed, and it has been argued that the intrinsic response vanishes by symmetry. We focus on the intrinsic contribution and clarify several conflicting results in the literature. On the basis of symmetry considerations and detailed calculations we show that the intrinsic Kerr signal is not forbidden in a general multi- band system but has a rich structure in the near infrared regime. We distinguish different optical transitions determined by the superconducting gap (far infrared) and the inter orbital coupling of the normal state (near infrared). We argue that the low frequency transitions do not contribute to the Hall conductivity while only the inter-orbital transitions in the near infrared regime contribute. Finally, we discuss the difficulties to connect the calculations for the optical Hall conductivity to the experimental measurement of the Kerr angle. We will compare different approximations which might lead to conflicting results.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures, 1 tabl

Spatial fluctuations of the pairing potential in disordered superconductors

We study the effect of site diagonal, non-magnetic, disorder on the a pairing amplitude in an extended Hubbard model with the intersite attraction. Analyzing fluctuations of a pairing potential we discuss the instability of mixed solutions, 's+d' and 's+id', in presence of disorder. The influence of disorder on extended s- and d-wave superconductors appear to be comparable but in certain regions of the phase diagram, even weak disorder can change the symmetry of the order parameter.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures, Physica C (accepted
