Variation-Difference Method of Calculation of Layered Rubber-Metal Vibration Isolators Used for Protection of Reinforced Concrete Buildings from Anthropogenic Vibration by D. K. Sizov

“…Variation-difference method (VDM) is the closest to the finite element method (FEM) in terms of its computational capabilities. It is possible to create program modules that repeatedly and automatically solve three-dimensional problems of elasticity theory taking into account the changed geometry of the vibration isolator: the dimensions of the product, the location of perforations within the rubber layers, as well as the thickness of the rubber layer and other parameters important for obtaining an effective technical solution for vibration isolation of buildings. …”

Grammatical aspect in Polish and the perception of event duration by Wojciech Milczarski

“…According to the second view, there is no PERF operator in simple past clauses in Dutch (and by analogy also in English), while perfective eventualities in Polish should be perceived as shorter than imperfective events which view the event from the inside without imposing any boundaries on its runtime. The results of this study show that the second view is more plausible, suggesting that languages vary in the interpretation of event duration depending on whether they have a clear grammatical aspect or whether such distinctions are less articulated.…”
