https://doi.org/10.5128/ERYa19.02In addition to individual words, the mental lexicon stores lexical chunks, such as idioms, which provide foreign-language learners with capacity acquire language more effectively. Since role parts play in meaning of whole reduces learning burden multi-word expressions, present contribution addresses facilitating effect idiom transparency and learners’ tendency u...

https://doi.org/10.5128/ERYa19.12Artiklis antakse ülevaade Eesti koroonapandeemiaaegsete piirangusiltide kogumisest ja uurimisest. Avaliku ruumi keelelisi sõnumeid on senini uuritud peamiselt keelemaastike suuna raames, fookusega eri keelte kasutusel või siltide keelekasutuse visuaalide vahekorral. Koroonapiirangute aegne rohkus võimaldab põhjalikumalt kui kunagi varem uurida keelekasutust, sh ...

Autonomous vehicles is a rapidly expanding field, and promise to play an important role in society. The goal of autonomous vehicles is to improve the traffic system in terms of higher efficiency, fewer accidents, lower fuel consumption, less pollution, and shorter travel times. In more isolated environments, such as mines and ports, vehicle automation can bring significant efficiency and produc...

Background: Neck injuries in rear-end collisions are still a major problem both for the injured and, in terms of cost, for society. The latest generation of rear-end whiplash protection systems, as found in the WHIPS Volvo and SAHR Saab, have reduced injury rates by almost 50% in comparison with the previous generation of seat/head restraint systems. Occupant behaviour, such as seated posture a...

With the functionality of most embedded systems based on software (SW), interactions amongst SW modules arise, resulting in error propagation across SW them. During SW development, it would be helpful to have a framework that clearly demonstrates the error propagation and containment capabilities of the di erent SW components. In this paper, we assess the impact of inter-modular error propagati...

E attributes such as population abundance and species richness depend not only on patch characteristics but also on the characteristics of the landscape surrounding the patch, known as patch context (Åberg et al. 1995, Gascon et al. 1999, Saab 1999, Szacki 1999, Fahrig 2001). Focal patch studies are one approach to studying the effects of patch context. In such studies, the data on species abun...

The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) experiment uses germanium and silicon detectors cooled to 20 mK to attempt to detect weakly interacting dark matter particles in our galactic halo. We discuss recent results obtained with an array of two 165 g germanium detectors and a 100 g silicon detector after a 33 live-day exposure. I THE CHALLENGE OF WIMP DETECTION. One possible solution to the famo...

This paper applies artificial neural networks to forecast gasoline consumption. The ANN is implemented using the cross entropy error function in the training stage. The cross entropy function is proven to accelerate the backpropagation algorithm and to provide good overall network performance with relatively short stagnation periods. To forecast gasoline consumption (GC), the ANN uses previous ...

In recent years the fusion of multimedia information from multiple real-time sources and databases has become increasingly important because of its practical significance in many application areas such as telemedicine, community networks for crime prevention, health care, emergency management, e-learning, digital library, and field computing for scientific exploration. To support the retrieval ...
