In [Š. Holub & K. Saari, On highly palindromic words, Discrete Appl. Math. 157 (2009), 953–959] the authors proposed to measure the degree of “palindromicity” of a binary word w by ratio |rws| |w| , where the word rws is minimal-palindromic—that is, does not contain palindromic subwords of length greater than ⌈ |w| 2 ⌉ —and the length |r|+|s| is as small as possible. It was asked whether the wo...

Siříšťová L., Přinosilová Š., Riddellová K., Hajšlová J., Melzoch K. (2012): Changes in quality parameters of vodka filtered through activated charcoal. Czech J. Food Sci., 30: 474–482. The production technology of high-quality vodka used in Russia involves filtration through activated charcoal. To approach the quality of renowned Russian vodka, one prominent Czech spirit-producing company inst...

A breakdown of the standard Watson-type rotational Hamiltonian was suggested for a molecule with H2XYZ structure [Š. Urban and K. M. T. Yamada, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 160, 279–288 (1993)] . This breakdown is due to a near-resonant interaction between the ground state rotational levels and rotational levels in an excited vibrational state. This interaction has been observed in the excited electronic...

The effect of whey powder, whey protein concentrate, caseinomacropeptide, and malt addition into milk on the growth and acid production of lactobacilli (Lactobacillus casei Lafti L-26, Lactobacillus a...

It is crucial to be able to correctly detect and interpret environmental signals. Studying the development and mechanisms of sensory perception is challenging in organisms with complex neuronal networks. The worm C. elegans possesses a simple neuronal network of 302 neurons that includes 60 ciliated sensory neurons (CSN) for detecting external sensory input. C. elegans is thus an excellent mode...

Kohajdová Z., Karovičová J., Schmidt Š. (2011): Lupin composition and possible use in bakery – a review. Czech J. Food Sci., 29: 203–211. Legume seeds are an abundant source of proteins and, among them, lupin is one of the richest. Lupin seed deserves great interest due to its chemical composition and augmented availability in many countries in recent years. The review reports on the current kn...

predicate P whenever it is possible, instead of using a catalog of thetaroles, which are difficult to justify. The use of abduction operations is limited here to predicates already present in the core event structure. In other words, predicates from the OS introduced by the core event are tried first. In this case, the OS [:at(z, y), at(z, y)] encodes the change of location that is required by ...

Introduction It is commonly held that the frequent syntagm consisting of the infinitive construct with l mæd – the so-called liqt l – because of the prefixed preposition  has “a strong value for the direction, the aim, the purpose of an action”, as in Gen 31:19 “now Laban had gone to shear his sheep” (J-M § 124l). At the same time many grammars recognize that in the liqtol syntagm the prepos...
