Phonotactic constraints in cognitive phonology by Riitta Välimaa-Blum

“…Consequently, phonotactic constraints, which pertain to meaningless units, would constitute no independent knowledge base either. Also, languages are learned in function of their actual use, and negative phonotactic constraints, characterizing something that cannot be said, must be excluded on these grounds as well from a speaker’s grammar since it would be difficult to learn them in the absence of positive data (Taylor 2002). …”

Experimental Study of Strain Rockburst considering Temperature Effect: Status-of-the-Art and Prospect by Lei Xu, Fengqiang Gong

“…According to the occurrence state of country rock for deep high-temperature and stress state in the whole process during excavation, six development directions for high-temperature strain rockburst simulation tests were proposed: (1) constructing the damage constitutive models of high-temperature rocks according to linear energy dissipation law; (2) developing the true triaxial rockburst simulation testing system accomplishing the function of “real-time high temperature + unloading + dynamic disturbance”; (3) considering the true triaxial rockburst simulation test after microwave irradiation; (4) developing the real-time high-temperature rockburst simulation testing device for large-size specimens and internal unloading; (5) focusing on the energy actuating mechanism for deep high-temperature rock failure via rockburst simulation tests; and (6) implementing the three-dimensional rockburst simulation test on the basis of deep in situ coring.…”

Le développement de l’enseignement clinique à Paris et la création de l’école clinique interne de l’hôpital de la Charité by Pierre-Louis Laget

“…The superiority gained by that hospital due to the novelty of the teaching that was provided in it explained why, when health schools were created by the National Convention on 14 Frimaire An III (December 4, 1794), it was the place that was chosen to establish the first school of clinical medicine that would be provided with premises most specially adapted to its function. Because of the budgetary contingencies associated with the political situation, the yard happened to be interrupted several times, but was eventually carried through. …”

THE METHOD OF OPTIMIZATION OF THE SET OF TECHNICAL FACILITIES TO PROVIDE AVIATION SAFETY AND SECURITY by B. V. Zubkov, A. K. Volkov, A. K. Volkov

“…The actuality of problem of optimizing the set of technical facilities to provide aviation safety and security is determined by the necessity to develop aviation security provision system taking into account the analysis of threats while ensuring balance between expenses on security support and possible damage from the act of unlawful interference.The offered method of optimization consists of two main stages: determination of the optimal total expenses and determination of the optimal set of technical facilities.The first stage is devoted to analysing the threats and solving the task of optimization of total expenditures on the technical aids set used to ensure aviation safety and security which means searching for the minimum of total expenses goal function. These expenses constitute a sum of expenses spent on technical aids set and damage from the act of unlawful interference.The second methodological stage deals with setting the task of parameters synthesis. …”
