Oksana just wants to have friends and lead a normal life--and though she constantly tries to do the right thing, she keeps getting herself in trouble. As she grows up, she continues to misbehave, from somewhat accidentally maiming the school bus bully, to stealing the much-coveted (and expensive-to-replace) key to New York City's Gramercy Park, to falling in love with a married man. As her grandmother moves back to Ukraine, her father gets a job at Goldman Sachs, and her mother knits endless scarves, Oksana longs for a Russia that looms large in her imagination but is a country she never really knew. When she visits her grandmother in Yalta and learns about Baba's wartime past and her lost loves, Oksana begins to see just how much alike they are, and comes to a new understanding of how to embrace life and love without causing harm to the people dearest to her--though, will Oksana ever quite learn to behave?

Описание: This monograph centers on a group of statistical methods referred to as “linguistic profiles” that have been developed recently by researchers at the University of Tromso (Norway). These methods are based on the observation that there is a strong correlation between semantic and distributional properties of linguistic units. This book discusses grammatical, semantic, constructional, collostructional and diachronic profiles.

Описание: This book is based on one unifying concept the concept of a three-plane corpuscular-wave organization of biological systems, using the example of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and a life cycle of forestry tree plants. The range of questions and problems is not only numerous, but also controversial. Particular attention is paid to the description of plant biology on the basis of the general principles and fundamental laws of physics; the trinity principle of DNA energy, DNA particles and DNA information at different levels of their organization; the fundamental unity of living and non-living matter, etc. Presently, these directions of biophysics are still at the stage of formation. Some theoretical basics of the concept have already been described in the authors previous work, Corpuscular-Wave Nature and Wave Properties of Plant Cells, published by Nova Science Publishers, 2013. These concepts include the corpuscular-wave nature of DNA; the notion about a cell as a quantum-mechanical system, an open and closed system, or an equilibrium system; the nature of two internal sources of energy; etc. Many theoretical statements have yet to be formulated by future researchers, and the authors mean to set the stage by setting up the next objectives. Firstly, they hope to show how many biological processes and mechanisms possess wave nature, with special analysis concerning the unique biotechnologies that were created by nature in plants. The possibility of such an analysis is provided by wide ranging experimental material, which has accumulated by studying cell biology, molecular biology, biophysics, development biology, forest and classical genetics, etc. Secondly, and more importantly, the authors wish to promote the expansion of research in this field. Particular attention in this book is given to the ecological issues that include the peculiarities of the formation of genotype-environmental connections at different stages of the life cycle; intra-specific selection; the mechanisms and adaptive devices ensuring the contact of genetic material with the environment and the relative independence from it; the preservation of genotypic diversity; cross- and self-pollination; and other processes, which provide the viability, quality and sustainability of forest ecosystems in a constantly fluctuating environment.The material presented in the book embraces the different areas of biology and physics (classical and quantum). It consists of two different parts. A three-plane corpuscular-wave model concerning the organization of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is presented in the theoretical Part One. The questions connected with the initiation of the reproductive process and the inception of generative organs, the formation of the energetic, corpuscular and informational programs, and the creation of a three-plane matrix of corpuscular-wave organization are analyzed in Part Two (Chapters One through Three). These processes of sexual reproduction are species-specific, and so they are described often in the example of only one species (Pinus sylvestris L.). Different aspects of development for a forest tree species, formation of the population gene pool, and the physical models of different functional systems of forest tree species are discussed in Chapters Four and Five.

Описание: This book explores relationships between pairs of signs in terms of their form, meaning and context. It shows that many relationships among linguistic units such as synonymy, polysemy and allomorphy can be seen as parts of a single semiotic system. The authors use the term fingerprinting because comparing two constructions is similar to determining whether one fingerprint is similar to another.

Описание: The monograph investigates the relationship between form and meaning in different domains and centers on a group of methods referred to as “linguistic profiles” that have been developed recently by researchers at the University of Tromso. These methods are based on the observation that there is a strong correlation between semantic and distributional properties of linguistic units. This book discusses grammatical, semantic, constructional, collostructional and diachronic profiles. Linguistic profiles as a group of methods are based on recent developments in the area of cognitive and functional linguistics: 1) form in language always has a relation to meaning, 2) a categorical approach to language is replaced with an understanding of language as a gradient phenomenon, which is investigated via statistics, 3) grammar is seen as a usage-based phenomenon. Throughout the book we see that each of the profiles determines a correlation between certain forms and certain meanings. By studying the distribution of different forms we can uncover the semantic restrictions standing behind them.
