Foreign language Culinary represented by precedent texts recipes reflect specifics national culture, social and gender characteri...

Sound symbolism, or the nonarbitrary link between linguistic sound and meaning, has often been discussed in connection with language evolution, where the oral imitation of external events links phonetic forms with their referents (e.g., Ramachandran & Hubbard, 2001). In this research, we explore whether sound symbolism may also facilitate synchronic language learning in human infants. Sound sym...

The design and analysis ofradar systems that transmit over oceans or smooth terrain for example, airborne radars that spot distant incoming missiles, or coastal radars that fmd drug smugglers reqUires accurate evaluation of radar propagation over a smooth sphere. Analysis of smooth sphere diffraction is equally important for general radar applications; by combining several approximations, compo...

We present and analyze in detail an unknown theory of ferromagnetism developed by Ettore Majorana as early as the beginnings of 1930s, substantially different in the methods employed from the well-known Heisenberg theory of 1928 (and from later formulations by Bloch and others). Similarly to this, however, it describes successfully the main features of ferromagnetism, although the key equation ...

The digital Earth framework is a multiresolution 3D model used to visualize location-based data. In this paper, we introduce a new digital Earth framework using a cube as its underlying polyhedron. To create multiresolution, we introduce two types of 1-to-2 refinement. Having a smaller factor of refinement enables us to provide more resolutions and therefore a smoother transition among resoluti...
