Perception Of Time

The aim of this paper is to study different time representations in language and text. Time is an abstract category firmly connected to human life, it can be considered to be the fourth dimension of reality, used to describe events in three-dimensional space. Time has been studied from different points of view and in different aspects. The perception of time can vary depending on the social and cultural environment. That is why it is so important to pay special attention to a variety of time representations when studying a foreign language. In this article I consider different time markers represented in language (English and Russian) and contextual time markers we can find in texts for reading comprehension activities at advanced levels when studying Russian as a foreign language. I compare language and contextual time markers using a cognitive approach to text units. As an example, I take time markers from the texts published in a popular Russian literary magazine Novy mir at the turn of the 21 century. Novy mir is a very famous in Russia for its liberal position and history within the dissident movement during Soviet epoch Keywords: concept of time, time markers, text and discourse, cognitive linguistics

Perception Of Time

The deictic elements of time in language and text. Time is an abstract category, but it is closely related to human beings. The perception of time may vary depending on the linguistic, social and cultural environment. That is why it is so important to pay special attention to the diversity of the perceptions of time when learning a foreign language. In this article, we explore deictic elements with the meaning of time in the discourse of Russian artistic and publicist magazines. The material of the study were texts published in copies of the «Novy Mir» magazine at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. In the cognitive approach, text is viewed as a discourse and time is one of the key concepts behind this discourse. As the discourse develops, several deictic centres are formed, and non-temporal words become secondary deictic elements. The results of this study may be used in teaching Russian as a foreign language, in particular in teaching reading at an advanced level of learning Russian as a foreign language, as well as in courses on translation or historical interpretation of text.

We investigate the dynamics of a composite system ([Formula: see text]) consisting of an interacting fermion–antifermion pair in the three-dimensional space–time background generated by a static point source. By considering the interaction between the particles as Dirac oscillator coupling, we analyze the effects of space–time topology on the energy of such a [Formula: see text]. To achieve this, we solve the corresponding form of a two-body Dirac equation (fully-covariant) by assuming the center-of-mass of the particles is at rest and locates at the origin of the spatial geometry. Under this assumption, we arrive at a nonperturbative energy spectrum for the system in question. This spectrum includes spin coupling and depends on the angular deficit parameter [Formula: see text] of the geometric background. This provides a suitable basis to determine the effects of the geometric background on the energy of the [Formula: see text] under consideration. Our results show that such a [Formula: see text] behaves like a single quantum oscillator. Then, we analyze the alterations in the energy levels and discuss the limits of the obtained results. We show that the effects of the geometric background on each energy level are not same and there can be degeneracy in the energy levels for small values of the [Formula: see text].

Topological Quantum Computation

In topological quantum computation quantum information is stored in exotic states of matter which are intrinsically protected from decoherence, and quantum operations are carried out by dragging particle-like excitations (quasiparticles) around one another in two space dimensions. The resulting quasiparticle trajectories define world-lines in three dimensional space-time, and the corresponding quantum operations depend only on the topology of the braids formed by these world-lines. We describe recent work showing how to find braids which can be used to perform arbitrary quantum computations using a specific kind of quasiparticle (those described by the so-called Fibonacci anyon model) which are thought to exist in the experimentally observed ν = 12/5 fractional quantum Hall state.

Inspired in discussions presented lately regarding Lorentz-violating interaction terms in B. Charneski, M. Gomes, R. V. Maluf and A. J. da Silva, Phys. Rev. D86, 045003 (2012); R. Casana, M. M. Ferreira Jr., R. V. Maluf and F. E. P. dos Santos, Phys. Lett. B726, 815 (2013); R. Casana, M. M. Ferreira Jr., E. Passos, F. E. P. dos Santos and E. O. Silva, Phys. Rev. D87, 047701 (2013), we propose here a slightly different version for the coupling term. We will consider a modified quantum electrodynamics with violation of Lorentz symmetry defined in a (2+1)-dimensional space–time. We define the Lagrangian density with a Lorentz-violating interaction, where the space–time dimensionality is explicitly taken into account in its definition. The work encompasses an analysis of this model at both zero and finite-temperature, where very interesting features are known to occur due to the space–time dimensionality. With that in mind, we expect that the space–time dimensionality may provide new insights about the radiative generation of higher-derivative terms into the action, implying in a new Lorentz-violating electrodynamics, as well the nonminimal coupling may provide interesting implications on the thermodynamical quantities.

Patterns Of Behavior

The culture of a society is closely related to the language used by the speakers. Moreover, there are opinions saying that in a language there will be patterns of behavior, materials, ideas (beliefs and knowledge), and sentiments (attitudes and norms) of a society that are formed and exposed. This fact is in accordance with the opinion that a language is more than just a communion; it is the relation between individual and sociocultural values. Among all characteristics of culture, language is the most prominent distinguishing feature, since each social group feel themselves as a different entity from other groups. For certain social groups, language is used as the social identity/symbol. Close relation between language and culture is reflected in words used by the society. A concept or way of life in a society can be supported by words and language. Someone’s language behavior generally follows the culture of a society where he/she lives, including how the cultural elements appear in the equipment of human life, livelihood, social system, language (and literature) system either written or oral, various of arts, knowledge system, and religious system. Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis states that there is a close relation between the language used by people and how they understand the world and behave in it. Based on 17th Century French fairytales, this article will review the moral values contained in the cultural elements and the implications in learning French as a foreign language.

This paper presents the development of a three-dimensional space-time neutronic kinetic model of a Canadian deuterium uranium (CANDU) reactor using a modal method. In this method, the reactor space-time neutron flux is synthesized by a time-weighted series of precalculated neutron flux modes. The modes are eigenfunctions of the governing neutron diffusion equation during reference steady-state operation. The xenon effect has also been considered. The reactor model is then implemented within a simulation platform of a CANDU6 reactor regulating system in MATLAB/SIMULINK. A nondimensionalized SIMULINK representation of the reactor kinetic model is established. The behavior of the reactor during load following transients has been simulated using the developed reactor-modeling module. The simulation results prove the efficiency of the model. A three-dimensional neutron flux distribution during transients is represented.
