Lexical Syllabus in Elementary and Secondary Education: Construction and Implementation
Abstract Nonnative language users operate with significantly limited vocabularies compared to native speakers, particularly when the language is learnt in school contexts. This paper demonstrates how empirical research on vocabulary learning combined with experience in teaching and curricula design has informed the principled construction of a lexical ...

English Influence on the Icelandic Lexicon
The study of loanwords has until now not played an important role in Icelandic linguistic research, and only a few articles have been written on foreign influence on modern Icelandic.

Abstract This article examines lexical and phonological evidence for language contact between Old and modern Meiteilon (Manipuri) and Tai varieties, identifying loanwords relating to domestic life, trade and literary culture. Comparative data from Shan dialects and Old Meiteilon manuscripts such as the Cheitharon Kumpapa are employed in contextualising

Abstract Participants in Russia's 1825 Decembrist uprising against the Tsarist regime were, quite literally, a case study in French cultural influence upon Russia. This is particularly true as it relates to Russia's emotional cultures. Although this has not, traditionally, been the primary focus of historical analysis of this event (in Soviet or ...

Tewdwr: Eponymous Ancestor of the Tudor Dynasty
Abstract The standard derivation of the dynastic name Tudor from Welsh Tudur, surname of the grandfather of Henry VII, is problematic on phonological grounds, as well as the fact that Tudur was never used as a surname by Henry himself, being attributed to him only by his enemies with implication of lowly origins.

Volume Quantization with Flexible Singularities for Hexahedral Meshing
Abstract We present a novel algorithm for quantization and subsequent hexahedral mesh generation from seamless volumetric maps. Quantization is the process of choosing integers that represent the numbers of hexahedral elements to be placed in each region of the volume, and transforming the seamless map into an integer‐grid map matching that choice ...

DiskScissors: Cutting Arbitrary‐Topology Solids for Bijective Mapping
Abstract An algorithm for cutting solid objects in a topology‐controlled manner is presented. Concretely, given a loop on the object boundary, a disk‐topology cut surface bounded by the loop is constructed in the interior. In contrast to various previous approaches, both disk topology and conformance to the prescribed loop are ensured by construction ...

Scalable Computation of Topological Abstractions for Scalar Data
Abstract Topological data analysis has become an important tool for large scale scalar data analysis and visualization, efficiently extracting the inherent structure and features of interest of the data. However, with growing dataset sizes and complexity, it is increasingly becoming infeasible to compute topological abstractions of interest in serial ...
