(No) me importa un comino y sus variantes diatópicas. Estudio de corpus desde la gramática de construcciones by Carmen Mellado Blanco

“…Así, después de definir y defender el concepto de “construcción fraseológica” frente a “esquema fraseológico” en el marco de la Gramática de Construcciones (GxC), los principales objetivos son, a partir del estudio de corpus de la construcción [(no) PRONpers importar [SN[DETNUMERAL + N{objeto tabuizado o de escaso valor}]]: ‘no importar absolutamente nada’: (1) comprobar si la construcción tiene similar productividad en el subcorpus del español de España y en el subcorpus del español americano de Sketch Engine; (2) determinar cuáles son las actualizaciones preferentes del slot sustantivo de la construcción en ambos subcorpus, mostrando las pertinentes convergencias y divergencias al respecto.…”

The Observer’s Guide to the Gamma-Ray Burst Supernova Connection by Zach Cano, Shan-Qin Wang, Zi-Gao Dai, Xue-Feng Wu

“…We discuss how observations of their environments further constrain the physical properties of their progenitor stars and give a brief overview of the current theoretical paradigms of their central engines. We then present an overview of the radioactively powered transients that have been photometrically associated with short-duration GRBs, and we conclude by discussing what additional research is needed to further our understanding of GRB-SNe, in particular the role of binary-formation channels and the connection of GRB-SNe with superluminous SNe.…”

L’évolution du cadre bâti en Turquie, entre risque sismique et rentabilité du secteur de la construction : négociations et controverses sociotechniques by Youenn Gourain

“…The first part of the analysis examines the construction sector’s regulatory framework since 1999, which has shifted responsibility for seismic risk from the state to construction industry actors; that is, service providers, construction auditors, material producers and civil engineers. It then goes on to explain the choices made by players in the building industry who favor the demolition and reconstruction of buildings rather than their rehabilitation. …”

The war inside your mind: unprotected brain battlefields and neuro-vulnerability by Robert McCreight

“… The 21st century featured explosive discoveries, inventions, and finely crafted technologies where the vaguely dangerous and ambiguous mix of genomics, neuroscience, nanotech, robotics, cyber, and other advanced scientific ventures leads to unknown and possibly unpleasant outcomes pose an acute dilemma. The engineered convergence of advanced technology such as cutting-edge medical technology frontiers of cognitive dynamics, decoding key neural functions, explaining brain biochemistry, and exploring excursions into neuromodulation and plasticity research make the brain a prime object of sustained scientific desire. …”
