Brachyodonty and hypsodontyin some Palaeogene Eurasiatic Lagomorphs

1977

Abstract Palaeogene Eurasiatic lagomorphs show more or less different degrees and kinds of brachiodonty and hypsodonty in the cheek teeth. No fully brachyodont lagomorphs are known up to the present. The probably Paleocene Mimolagus from Western Kansu shows the less advanced stage against partial hypsodonty in the upper cheek teeth. Partial hypsodonty is more advanced in the late Eocene Mongolian genera Shamolagus, Gobiolagus and Lushilagus. Roots, however, are still well developed in the cheek teeth. Some recent discoveries from earlier Oligocene sites in France and Germany seem to represent a comparable degree of hypsodonty. The Asiatic Oligocene Desmatolagus is partiallyhypsodont with ro…

Abstract This article explores trolling as a form of literary activity. It presents a number of specific types of trolling on the Russian-language Internet in connection with digital literature and the literary practices of various groups of Internet users. Techniques for writing provocative “troll-texts” were created and developed within subcultural groups in the 1990s. Later, from being a subversive practice known only to a few insiders, it became a mass technique described in meta-texts that identified rules for trolling and shared facts about its culture with all interested users. In the 2010s, the now popularised techniques of trolling came to be seen as effective strategies to deploy …

Screen or paper. Reading construction in digital and analogical context in speakers of nearby languages

2018

En este trabajo se pretende delinear la importancia de conocer explícitamente los condicionantes del proceso de lectura desde una perspectiva contextual (digital y analógica) para una optimización del proceso de aprendizaje en hablantes de lenguas afines. Para ello, se diseñó una prueba cuantitativa mediante la cual poder medir de manera más objetiva posible la capacidad de construcción de un cerebro lingüístico cuya lengua materna posee afinidades tan marcadas como es el portugués en relación con el español. Realizar un punto de comparación entre ambos grupos nos ayudó a conocer el nivel en el que los alumnos usan de una manera más o menos completa el sesgo informativo como elemento de aho…

What to Expect and What to Focus on in SQL Query Teaching

2019

In the process of learning a new computer language, writing erroneous statements is part of the learning experience. However, some errors persist throughout the query writing process and are never corrected. Structured Query Language (SQL) consists of a number of different concepts such as expressions, joins, grouping and ordering, all of which by nature invite different possible errors in the query writing process. Furthermore, some of these errors are relatively easy for a student to fix when compared to others. Using a data set from three student cohorts with the total of 744 students, we set out to explore which types of errors are persistent, i.e., more likely to be left uncorrected by…

A Neural Network model for the Evaluation of Text Complexity in Italian Language: a Representation Point of View

2018

Abstract The goal of a text simplification system (TS) is to create a new text suited to the characteristics of a reader, with the final goal of making it more understandable.The building of an Automatic Text Simplification System (ATS) cannot be separated from a correct evaluation of the text complexity. In fact the ATS must be capable of understanding if a text should be simplified for the target reader or not. In a previous work we have presented a model capable of classifying Italian sentences based on their complexity level. Our model is a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network capable of learning the features of easy-to-read and complex-to-read sentences autonomously from a anno…

Quantum Probes for the Characterization of Nonlinear Media

2021

Active optical media leading to interaction Hamiltonians of the form H=λ˜(a+a†)ζ represent a crucial resource for quantum optical technology. In this paper, we address the characterization of those nonlinear media using quantum probes, as opposed to semiclassical ones. In particular, we investigate how squeezed probes may improve individual and joint estimation of the nonlinear coupling λ˜ and of the nonlinearity order ζ. Upon using tools from quantum estimation, we show that: (i) the two parameters are compatible, i.e., the may be jointly estimated without additional quantum noise
