Toward a consensus description of vocal effort, vocal load, vocal loading, and vocal fatigue

Purpose: The purpose of this document is threefold: (a) review the uses of the terms “vocal fatigue,” “vocal effort,” “vocal load,” and “vocal loading” (as found in the literature) in order to track the occurrence and the related evolution of research; (b) present a “linguistically modeled” definition of the same from the review of literature on the terms; and (c) propose conceptualized definition

Phase field modelling allotropic transformation of solid solution

Based on the multiphase field conception and integrated with the idea of vector valued phase fields, a phase field model for typical allotropic transformation of solid solution is proposed. The model takes the non-uniform distribution of grain boundaries of the parent phase and the crystal orientation into account, as illustrated in simulations of austenite to ferrite transformation in low carbon Based on multiphase field conception and integrated with the idea of vectorvalued phase field, a phase field model for typical allotropic transformation of solid solution is proposed. The model takes the non-uniform distribution of grain boundaries of parent phase and crystal orientation into account in proper way, as being illustrated by the simulation of austenite to ferrite transformation in lo

Bildliga betydelser i SAOB

In this study, I investigate what a figurative sense is in the Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB). The description of figurative senses in the dictionary is analyzed in terms of word classes and the use of specific labels in the definitions, such as bildl. (figurative), is mapped out. From a cognitive semantic perspective, I investigate what the figurative uses of the present cases consist of, in a

Stellar Characterization of M Dwarfs from the APOGEE Survey : A Calibrator Sample for M-dwarf Metallicities

We present spectroscopic determinations of the effective temperatures, surface gravities, and metallicities for 21 M dwarfs observed at high resolution (R ∼ 22,500) in the H band as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)-IV Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey. The atmospheric parameters and metallicities are derived from spectral syntheses with 1D LTE plane-

Validation of Two Short Personality Inventories Using Self-Descriptions in Natural Language and Quantitative Semantics Test Theory

Background: If individual differences are relevant and prominent features of personality, then they are expected to be encoded in natural language, thus manifesting themselves in single words. Recently, the quantification of text data using advanced natural language processing techniques offers innovative opportunities to map people’s own words and narratives to their responses to self-reports. He

Characterisation of RBMK-1500 graphite : A method to identify the neutron activation and surface contamination terms

In this study, we provide the results of radiological characterization of the RBMK-1500 graphite using modeling and nuclear spectrometry; we also introduce a method to identify neutron activation and surface contamination terms for the spent graphite waste. The simplified model of the reactor core created by programme package SCALE 6.2 for 4 × 4 fragment of the core was used for simulation of neut

What's normal? Microbiomes in human milk and infant feces are related to each other but vary geographically : The inspire study

Background: Microbial communities in human milk and those in feces from breastfed infants vary within and across populations. However, few researchers have conducted cross-cultural comparisons between populations, and little is known about whether certain “core” taxa occur normally within or between populations and whether variation in milk microbiome is related to variation in infant fecal microb

The Surgeon's Role in the Opioid Crisis : A Narrative Review and Call to Action

Over the past two decades, there has been a sharp rise in the use of prescription opioids. In several countries, most notably the United States, opioid-related harm has been deemed a public health crisis. As surgeons are among the most prolific prescribers of opioids, growing attention is now being paid to the role that opioids play in surgical care. While opioids may sometimes be necessary to pro

Loss of PI3 kinase association improves the sensitivity of secondary mutation of KIT to Imatinib

Background: KIT mutations are the predominant driver mutations in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), and targeted therapy against KIT has improved treatment outcome dramatically. However, gaining secondary mutation of KIT confers drug resistance of GISTs leading to treatment failure. Results: In this study, we found that secondary mutation of KIT dramatically increases the ligand-independent

Coronautbrottet är ett hot mot Sveriges nationella säkerhet. Det riskerar leda till en ökning av främmande makters aktiviteter, terrorattacker, organiserad brottslighet samt social oro, skriver Ardavan Khoshnood, specialistläkare, kriminolog och statsvetare.The corona eruption is a threat to Sweden's national security. It risks leading to an increase in the activities of foreign powers, terrorist attacks, organized crime and social unrest, writes Ardavan Khoshnood, specialist physician, criminologist and political scientist.

En kognitiv semantisk analys av SAOB:s formler för betydelseförändring

In my dissertation the method to describe semantic change used in the Swedish Academy dictionary (SAOB) is compared with cognitive semantic models of such a change. The work of SAOB is theoretically unbound in terms of overarching semantic theories, and the methods of describing word meaning and semantic change in the dictionary are rather developed for pragmatic reasons (such as consistency and e
