  • Alphabets, Letters and Diacritics in European Languages (As They Appear in Geography)
    1 Vigleik Leira (Norway): [email protected] Alphabets, Letters and Diacritics in European Languages (as they appear in Geography) To the best of my knowledge English seems to be the only language which makes use of a "clean" Latin alphabet, i.d. there is no use of diacritics or special letters of any kind. All the other languages based on Latin letters employ, to a larger or lesser degree, some diacritics and/or some special letters. The survey below is purely literal. It has nothing to say on the pronunciation of the different letters. Information on the phonetic/phonemic values of the graphic entities must be sought elsewhere, in language specific descriptions. The 26 letters a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z may be considered the standard European alphabet. In this article the word diacritic is used with this meaning: any sign placed above, through or below a standard letter (among the 26 given above); disregarding the cases where the resulting letter (e.g. å in Norwegian) is considered an ordinary letter in the alphabet of the language where it is used. Albanian The alphabet (36 letters): a, b, c, ç, d, dh, e, ë, f, g, gj, h, i, j, k, l, ll, m, n, nj, o, p, q, r, rr, s, sh, t, th, u, v, x, xh, y, z, zh. Missing standard letter: w. Letters with diacritics: ç, ë. Sequences treated as one letter: dh, gj, ll, rr, sh, th, xh, zh.

References 17 1 Generation Panel for Latin Script Label Generation Ruleset for the Root Zone 1. General Information The Latin script1 or Roman script is a major writing system of the world today, and the most widely used in terms of number of languages and number of speakers, with circa 70% of the world’s readers and writers making use of this script2 (Wikipedia). Historically, it is derived from the Greek alphabet, as is the Cyrillic script. The Greek alphabet is in turn derived from the Phoenician alphabet which dates to the mid-11th century BC and is itself based on older scripts. This explains why Latin, Cyrillic and Greek share some letters, which may become relevant to the ruleset in the form of cross-script variants. The Latin alphabet itself originated in Italy in the 7th Century BC. The original alphabet contained 21 upper case only letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, Z, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, V and X.

  • Cerebral Autoregulation and Response to Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke Ricardo C
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Cerebral autoregulation and response to intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke Ricardo C. Nogueira1,4*, Man Y. Lam2, Osian Llwyd2, Angela S. M. Salinet 1, Edson Bor‑Seng‑Shu1, Ronney B. Panerai2,3 & Thompson G. Robinson2,3 We hypothesized that knowledge of cerebral autoregulation (CA) status during recanalization therapies could guide further studies aimed at neuroprotection targeting penumbral tissue, especially in patients that do not respond to therapy. Thus, we assessed CA status of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) during intravenous r-tPA therapy and associated CA with response to therapy. AIS patients eligible for intravenous r-tPA therapy were recruited. Cerebral blood fow velocities (transcranial Doppler) from middle cerebral artery and blood pressure (Finometer) were recorded to calculate the autoregulation index (ARI, as surrogate for CA). National Institute of Health Stroke Score was assessed and used to defne responders to therapy (improvement of ≥ 4 points on NIHSS measured 24–48 h after therapy). CA was considered impaired if ARI < 4. In 38 patients studied, compared to responders, non-responders had signifcantly lower ARI values (afected hemisphere: 5.0 vs. 3.6; unafected hemisphere: 5.4 vs. 4.4, p = 0.03) and more likely to have impaired CA (32% vs. 62%, p = 0.02) during thrombolysis. In conclusion, CA during thrombolysis was impaired in patients who did not respond to therapy. This variable should be investigated as a predictor of the response to therapy and to subsequent neurological outcome. Te key objective of current acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treatment is based on rapid blood fow restoration by thrombolysis, using intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA), and/or mechanical arterial recanalization techniques1-3.

  • No. 32. Let G Be a Group, Let H Be a Subgroup, and Let a and B Be Elements of G Such That Ah = Bh. Then It Follows That HA−1 = Hb−1
    No. 32. Let G be a group, let H be a subgroup, and let a and b be elements of G such that aH = bH. Then it follows that HA−1 = Hb−1. Indeed, if aH = bH, then a and b lie in the same left coset, so b = ah for some h ∈ H. Hence b−1 = (ah)−1 = h−1a−1. Since H is a subgroup, h−1 ∈ H, so Hb−1 = Ha−1. No. 39. Let H be a subgroup of index 2 in G. Then H is normal. Indeed, the set of left cosets is a partition of G, containing exactly two elements, each a subset of G. One of these subsets is H and hence the other must be G \ H, the complement of H. The same applies to the set of right cosets. Thus the left and right cosets are the same. No. 40. Let G be a group of order n and let g be an element of G. Then gn = e. Indeed, by the theorem of Lagrange, the order of the cyclic subgroup < g > generated by g, call it m, divides n. But m is also the smallest positive integer such that gm = e. If n = md, it follows that gn = gmd = e. No. 35. Let G be a group and H a subgroup. The problem is to show that the number of left cosets of H is the same as the number of right cosets. Let G/H denote the set of left cosets of G and let H\G denote the set of right cosets of G.

  • The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters
    The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters Version 2.06, October 31, 2014 Pim Rietbroek Preamble Few typefaces – if any – allow the user to access every Latin character, every IPA character, every diacritic, and to have these combine in a typographically satisfactory manner, in a range of styles (roman, italic, and more); even fewer add full support for Greek, both modern and ancient, with specialised characters that papyrologists and epigraphers need; not to mention coverage of the Slavic languages in the Cyrillic range. The Brill typeface aims to do just that, and to be a tool for all scholars in the humanities; for Brill’s authors and editors; for Brill’s staff and service providers; and finally, for anyone in need of this tool, as long as it is not used for any commercial gain.* There are several fonts in different styles, each of which has the same set of characters as all the others. The Unicode Standard is rigorously adhered to: there is no dependence on the Private Use Area (PUA), as it happens frequently in other fonts with regard to characters carrying rare diacritics or combinations of diacritics. Instead, all alphabetic characters can carry any diacritic or combination of diacritics, even stacked, with automatic correct positioning. This is made possible by the inclusion of all of Unicode’s combining characters and by the application of extensive OpenType Glyph Positioning programming. Credits The Brill fonts are an original design by John Hudson of Tiro Typeworks. Alice Savoie contributed to Brill bold and bold italic. The black-letter (‘Fraktur’) range of characters was made by Karsten Lücke.

(reactions rely on molecular collisions) H H Consider: HO C _ _ C Br Br HO H H H H At a given temperature: If [OH-] is doubled, then the reaction rate may be doubled If [CH3-Br] is doubled, then the reaction rate may be doubled A linear dependence of rate on the concentration of two reactants is called a second-order reaction (molecularity) 2 H H HO C _ _ C Br Br HO H H H H Reaction rates (kinetic) can be expressed mathematically: reaction rate = disappearance of reactants (or appearance of products) For the disappearance of reactants: - rate = k [CH3Br] [OH ] [CH3Br] = CH3Br concentration [OH-] = OH- concentration k= constant (rate constant) L mol•sec For the reaction above, product formation involves a collision between both reactants, thus the rate of the reaction is dependent upon the concentration of both.
