Abstract We investigate the different interpretations related to metaphorical imprint of climate change in English and French media discourses. This cross-linguistic perspective is motivated by particularities both languages which have been assumed promote understandings change-related concepts. focus on metaphor carbon footprint whose meaning can be compared another English: fingerprint .

My initial hypothesis was that have already been incorporated into mental lexicon Polish speakers, and are thus understood accepted by them, but they do not prospect replacing their equivalents because lack necessary pragmatic force.

We prove that every algebraic number contains infinitely many occurrences of 7/3-powers in its binary expansion. Using the same approach, we also show that every algebraic number contains either infinitely many occurrences of squares or infinitely many occurrences of one of the blocks 010 or 02120 in its ternary expansion.

We propose a new measure of support (the number of occurrences of a pattern in a dataset), where we count the number of times a pattern occurs (nearly) in the middle between two other occurrences. The more a pattern occurs in the middle of two occurrences (transaction wise) the more stable or regular the interval between occurrences is. We will define this measure and show how it can be impleme...

in this paper semi-markov models are used to forecast the triple dimensions of next earthquake occurrences. each earthquake can be investigated in three dimensions including temporal, spatial and magnitude. semi-markov models can be used for earthquake forecasting in each arbitrary area and each area can be divided into several zones. in semi-markov models each zone can be considered as a state...
