PRODUCTIVITY OF TYPE IN THE DERIVATIONAL PARADIGM OF OLD ENGLISH STRONG VERBS

[EN] This article aims at assessing the productivity of type of the derivational paradigms of Old English strong verbs, with which it contributes to the field of study of Old English word-formation. As a general conclusion, this analysis supports Hinderling's (1967) and Seebold's (1970) claim that the strong verb has to be the starting point of any description of word-formation in the Germanic languages. Other conclusions of the analysis include: (i) lexical productivity in Old English is due to affixation more often than compounding, the number of prefixal derivatives being slightly higher than the one of suffixal derivatives; (ii) the evolution from stem-formation to word-formation is in progress in Old English and, as a result, the derivation from variable bases plays an active role in the derivational morphology of the language, which displays around 900 derivatives that alternate with the inflectional forms of the corresponding strong verb.This research has been funded through the project FFI08-04448/FILO.Pesquera Fernández, L.

Automation in logistics port and freight transport with blockchain technology

According to World Economic Forum the COVID-19 crisis exposed the vulnerabilities in global supply chains. One notable impact was in shipping rates, as transport ground to a halt and a worldwide backlog of containers built up in ports around the world. Another was a dramatic increase in the number of people shopping online as measures to safeguard public health meant that many were confined to their homes. Logistics service providers were forced to get creative and identify means of mitigating costs while maintaining the speed and quality of service. Within the commodity supply chain, there are many stakeholders, each with their own set of platforms and methods. Multiple versions of the same document can inundate end-users, especially if they need to enter one set of data in multiple places. These circumstances open up loopholes for fraudulent or malicious activity in the supply chain. Logistics suppliers are fragmenting their operations in response to this shift, spreading out their processes to minimize concentration risk and the disruption caused by events like geopolitical tension or a pandemic. Using a world production growth function the contribution of the Logistics Performance Index(LPI) components of 133 countries has been estimated for the period 2007-2018 through the econometric method of panel data with fixed effects. Blockchain Technology can guarantee transparency and quality, and automation where Smart Contracts can be written and often reused between different entities and a set of agreements that can automatically take effect after a period or condition is met. The content of the paper reflects the results of research conducted on the contribution of logistics port and freight transport with which we can solve inefficiencies in the ease of arranging international shipments at competitive prices with Blockchain to get Automation of whole supply chain with ports nodes

Unfolding Operator Method for Thin Domains with a Locally Periodic Highly Oscillatory Boundary

We analyze the behavior of solutions of the Poisson equation with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a two-dimensional thin domain which presents locally periodic oscillations at the boundary. The oscillations are such that both the amplitude and period of the oscillations may vary in space. We obtain the homogenized limit problem and a corrector result by extending the unfolding operator method to the case of locally periodic media

Photonic generation of microwave signals using a single-mode VCSEL subject to dual-beam orthogonal optical injection

We experimentally and theoretically investigate the photonic generation of microwave signals using a long-wavelength single-transverse-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) subject to two-frequency orthogonal optical injection. We study if a significant reduction of the linewidth is achieved in the double injection locking regime. In this regime, the VCSEL is subject to optical injection by two master lasers in such a way that stable locking is also observed if only light from one of the master lasers is injected. Our model includes the effect of the injected light reflected at the VCSEL's mirror generalizing previous modeling of reflection-mode optical injection-locked VCSELs. Our model also describes the high coherence associated to stable injection locking states and takes into account phase fluctuations in both master lasers. We observe no significant reduction of the linewidth in the double injection locking regime because the linewidth is mainly determined by the phase fluctuations of the two master lasers.This work was supported in part by the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, Spain, under Project TEC2012-38864-C03-02 and Project TEC2012-38864-C03-03 and in part by FEDER funds

Contribución al estudio de las mineralizaciones Pb-Zn en el entorno macizo granítico de las Peñas de Haya (Guipúzcoa-Navarra)

Se presenta un primer estudio de las mineralizaciones filonianas PbZn asociadas a pizarras oscuras v granito tardihercínico. Las menas y gangas aparecen fuertemente deformadas y brechificadas y es frecuente la removilización de los sulfuros. En el proceso de formación de estas mineralizaciones se distinguen varias fases: una fase hidrotermal de edad hercínica post-intrusiva y una última fase de removilización. Las paragénesis principales permiten clasificar estos yacimientos como mesotermales. Se discuten los modelos genéticos más probables

Avalanches from charged domain wall motion in BaTiO<inf>3</inf> during ferroelectric switching

© 2020 Author(s). We report two methods for direct observations of avalanches in ferroelectric materials during the motion of domain walls. In the first method, we use optical imaging techniques to derive changes in domain structures under an electric field. All changes occur through small jumps (jerks) that obey avalanche statistics. In the second method, we analyze jerks by their displacement current. Both methods reveal a power law distribution with an energy exponent of 1.6, in agreement with previous acoustic emission measurements, and integrated mean field theory. This new combination of methods allows us to probe both polarization and strain variations during the motion of domain walls and can be used for a much wider class of ferroelectrics, including ceramic samples, than acoustic emission
