Speech by one or more interlocutors may be described as continuous, but a moment's reflection will reveal that it is not really continuous at all. Minimally, speakers must break off their speech to breathe. In extreme cases, their speech may become highly discontinuous, with long breaks, extraneous sounds or words, or reformulations that cause delay in message transfer. These kinds of discontin...

The aim of this study was to analyze the time-course of force production of elite middle and long-distance runners throughout an entire season and at the end of the off-season, as well as its relationships with training load and hormonal responses. Training load was recorded daily throughout an entire season by measuring and evaluating the session distance (km), training zone and session-RPE in...

The term “mid-term break” is frequently attributed to the half at schools—a short vacation season for students. However, as one of Irish poet Seamus Heaney’s poem, it represents a new period, characteristic transition from situation another. Through this autobiographical poem narrating his brother Christopher's death, Heaney presents moment which may happen anyone, far away emotions possible, w...

We propose the second-order response of metals in an electric field induced by magnetic impurities which locally break inversion symmetry. The with toroidal moments scatter conduction electrons presence spin–orbit coupling, leading to nonreciprocal response. This mechanism is ubiquitous when a impurity placed off center such as interstitial site and surface two-dimensional system.

The coalescence process of oppositely charged drops for different electrical conductivities of liquids is presented. When the electrical conductivity was relatively low, oppositely charged drops failed to coalesce under sufficiently high electrical fields and capillary ripples were formed on the surfaces of droplets after rebound. For a high electrically conductive liquid, it was found that a c...

It has been suggested that existing estimates of the long-run impact of a surprise move in income may have a substantial upward bias due to the presence of a trend break in 1970s (1350s) and 1980s (1360s) gross domestic product (contained oil) data of Iran. This article shows that the statistical evidence does not warrant abandoning the no-trend-break null hypothesis at the 5% significance leve...

Knowledge of the evolution of the low column density end of the Lyα forest (12.8 < log NHI < 16.0 cm ) can provide substantial insight for models of structure formation and studies of the evolution of the ionizing background. Here we describe the evolution of the b values and column densities of forest clouds over the redshift range 2 < z < 4. While the distribution function for clouds with col...
