This paper considers the recent radiometric dating (14C-AMS, TL, ESR) of 76 late Middle and early Upper Paleolithic samples from Ortvale Klde Rockshelter, located in the Republic of Georgia. We present a critical evaluation of each date based on its stratigraphic and archaeological context, its pretreatment and contamination history, and its resulting accuracy and precision, the goal being to e...

Data about the karyotype characteristics, features of chromosomal polymorphism and larval morphology of populations of Chironomusbernensis Wülker & Klötzli, 1973 (Diptera, Chironomidae) from the Central Caucasus (the northern macroslope) and Ciscaucasia are presented. The characteristics of the pericentromeric regions of the long chromosomes of this species from Caucasian populations were very ...

We introduce a new incremental search method called Migemo for languages with many character faces. Migemo performs the incremental search by dynamically expanding the input pattern into a compact regular expression which represents all the possible words that match the input pattern. We show that Migemo is useful not only for searching texts in Japanese and other East Asian languages, but also...

This paper describes how to typeset Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages with Omega, a 16-bit extension of Donald Knuth’s TEX. In principle, Omega has no difficulty in typesetting those East Asian languages because of its internal representation using 16-bit Unicode. However, people have not kept an eye on Omega because of the difficulties in adapting it to CJK typesetting rules and fo...

The millipede Typhloglomeriscaucasica Golovatch, hitherto considered as a troglobite confined to several caves near Sochi, western Caucasus, Russia, is recorded epigeically in the same region, and is therefore a troglophile.

In this paper, we present a survey of state-of-the-art systems for automatic processing of recognition of under-resourced languages of the Eastern Europe, in particular, East Slavic languages (Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian), which share some common prominent features including Cyrillic alphabet, phonetic classes, morphological structure of wordforms and relatively free grammar. A large voca...
