Meaning of Word ‘Content’ in Linguistic Consciousness of Young People

The article is devoted to the semantic-cognitive analysis of the meaning of the word ‘content’. The scientific novelty of the work is seen in the fact that in the linguistic literature there are no studies in which a semantic-cognitive description of the meaning of the word ‘content’ is presented. The results of a comparative analysis of the formal-logical and psycholinguistic study of the semantics of the word ‘content’ are presented. In the course of the study, a discrepancy was found between the lexicographic description and the psychological representation of concepts associated with discrepancies between the data of explanatory dictionaries and the conclusions made on the associative material. It was found that the systemic meaning of the word content, containing a minimum of features recorded in dictionaries in accordance with the principles of reductionism, is reduced to the content of messages and information. The experiment showed that in the mental representation of young people, content is perceived as unconfirmed interesting information on the Internet using visuality, written in simple language and designed to consume ⅓ of the active time of the day among modern youth

Words ‘svet’ [Light] and ‘solntse’ [Sun] as Main Representatives of Concept LIGHT in Work of M. M. Prishvin

The features of the content structure of the concept LIGHT in the work of M. M. Prishvin is discussed in the article. The writer’s works and diaries covering the period from 1905 to 1954 are used as a source of material. A comprehensive analysis of the linguistic material has been carried out and some individual author’s interpretations of the implicit meaning of the concept LIGHT have been identified. The work was carried out within the framework of the AntCont program, in which a corpus of 83 documents representing the writer’s texts was formed. Particular attention is paid to the semantic components of the analyzed concept, which are revealed through the reconstruction of its nominative field, including various lexico-semantic groups. The statistical indicators of nouns associated with the concept of LIGHT made it possible to single out high-frequency, mid-frequency and low-frequency units that make up the core and periphery of the concept. A corpus analysis of lexical units representing the core of the concept LIGHT was carried out in combination with the methods of component, contextual and distributional analysis. With the help of the immediate environment, 7 main features of the nuclear components (‘svet’ [light] and ‘solntse’ [sun]) that make up the concept of LIGHT in the work of M. Prishvin were identified: temporality, location, intensity, color, spirituality, temperature, appraisal

Application of paraffin emulsion as apolar co-reagent during sylvinite flotation process

The research is devoted to finding more affordable apolar reagent paraffinic base for their use in the process of potash ore flotation, as well as improve the form in which the reagent is introduced into the flotation process. Found that the introduction of paraffinic oil flotation system in the form of emulsions provides extraction of potassium chloride at a level comparable to the same period of the industrial process

Phenomenological Equations of State for the Quark-Gluon Plasma

Two phenomenological models describing an SU(N) quark-gluon plasma are presented. The first is obtained from high temperature expansions of the free energy of a massive gluon, while the second is derived by demanding color neutrality over a certain length scale. Each model has a single free parameter, exhibits behavior similar to lattice simulations over the range T_d - 5T_d, and has the correct blackbody behavior for large temperatures. The N = 2 deconfinement transition is second order in both models, while N = 3,4, and 5 are first order. Both models appear to have a smooth large-N limit. For N >= 4, it is shown that the trace of the Polyakov loop is insufficient to characterize the phase structure; the free energy is best described using the eigenvalues of the Polyakov loop. In both models, the confined phase is characterized by a mutual repulsion of Polyakov loop eigenvalues that makes the Polyakov loop expectation value zero. In the deconfined phase, the rotation of the eigenvalues in the complex plane towards 1 is responsible for the approach to the blackbody limit over the range T_d - 5T_d. The addition of massless quarks in SU(3) breaks Z(3) symmetry weakly and eliminates the deconfining phase transition. In contrast, a first-order phase transition persists with sufficiently heavy quarks.Comment: 22 pages, RevTeX, 9 eps file

Half-lives of neutron-rich Cd 128-130

R. Dunlop et al. ; 6 págs.; 7 figs.; 1 tab. ; Rapid CommunicationsThe β-decay half-lives of Cd128-130 have been measured with the newly commissioned GRIFFIN γ-ray spectrometer at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility. The time structures of the most intense γ rays emitted following the β decay were used to determine the half-lives of Cd128 and Cd130 to be T1/2=246.2(21) ms and T1/2=126(4) ms, respectively. The half-lives of the 3/2+ and 11/2- states of Cd129 were measured to be T1/2(3/2+)=157(8) ms and T1/2(11/2-)=147(3) ms. The half-lives of the Cd isotopes around the N=82 shell closure are an important ingredient in astrophysical simulations to derive the magnitude of the second r-process abundance peak in the A∼130 region. Our new results are compared with recent literature values and theoretical calculations. ©2016 American Physical SocietyThis work has been partially supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Canada Research Chairs Program.

Ultrasound examination with contrast in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease. The results of the pilot study

Aim. Assessment of diagnostic significance of informativeness and security of ultrasonography with contrast enhancement drug SonoVue in the diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Materials and methods. The pilot conducted a prospective study which involved 15 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). All patients gave written consent to participate in the study and processing of personal data. The study included adult patients with an established diagnosis of UC and CD, with proven clinical activity of the disease. Activity was evaluated based on clinical and laboratory data on the scale of best (CDAI >150) for patients with CD and on a scale of Trulove-Witts (2-3 stage) and the Mayo index (DAI) for patients with UC. All the patients underwent colonoscopy with biopsy, ultrasound examination of abdominal cavity organs with the study of the vascularization of the intestinal wall (color Doppler, power Doppler, contrast study). Results. The use of contrast showed additional features in the instrumental evaluation of activity of inflammatory process, identification of complications and assessment of prognosis. Conclusion. The results of ultrasound of the bowel with contrast can be used to assess the activity and stage of disease in patients with UC or CD

The effect of butaselmevit and closaverm A on the immune status of cows with experimental fasciolosis sensitized by atypical mycobacteria

There are many reports in the literature about the critical role of the immune system in protecting the body against foreign agents. However, the role of immune status in the association of mycobacteriosis and fasciolosis has not been studied. The work aimed to investigate the effect of butaselmevit and closaverm A on the immune status of cows with experimental fasciolosis sensitized by atypical mycobacteria. For the trial, 15 cows of 4–5 years of age, black and spotted breed, were selected, from which 3 groups were formed, five animals in each. Cows of the first research group for experimental fasciolosis were injected intramuscularly with closaverm A at a dose of 0.5 ml of the drug per 10 kg of body weight. The animals of the second experimental group, for experimental fasciolosis, were intramuscularly injected with closaverm A at a dose of 0.5 ml of the drug per 10 kg of body weight and butaselmevit at a dose of 10 ml of the drug per animal. The obtained results indicate that the drugs “Klosaverm A” and “Butaselmevit” when administered intramuscularly to cows with experimental fasciolosis, sensitized by atypical mycobacteria, contribute to the activation of cellular and nonspecific links of immunity. It should be noted that a number of our research also established the stimulating effect of drugs on the humoral link of immunity, in particular, an increase in the bactericidal and lysozyme activity of blood serum of cows associated with mycobacteriosis and fasciolosis. Using “Klosaverm A” and “Butaselmevit” drugs in experimental groups of animals helped reduce the level of CIC to physiological values starting from the 21st day of the experiment. It should be noted that according to the indicators of the immune system in cows with experimental fasciolosis, sensitized by atypical mycobacteria, the combined use of closer A and butaselmevit shows a better therapeutic effect than the use of only closaverm A alone
