The present study considers the issue of verbal violence in the language of drama. In the evaluation of verbal violence, Jeanette Malkin (2004) proposes six maxims, through which language may be considered as an arrogant element. The characters in dramatic texts (as in other literary texts) are created, developed, evolved and - in some cases - destroyed by language. In a considerable numb...

Consideration of the effects of the mounting structure stiffness on electrohydraulic servomechanisms actuating primary flight controls yields a switched control system of seven nonlinear differential equations. The stabilizing control synthesis has to cope with the critical case of a zero eigenvalue of the Jacobian matrices calculated in equilibria. By local coordinates transformations, the swi...

The mechanisms by which male sex hormones modulate cardiovascular function are a subject of contemporary interest. Several lines of evidence indicate that androgens can exert acute vasorelaxing effects. On the other hand, chronic exposure to androgens has been shown to promote increases in blood pressure and compromise renal function. In the present issue of Clinical Science, Malkin and co-work...

We use the Malkin theorem to derive phase equations for networks of weakly connected relaxation oscillators. We find an explicit formula for the connection functions when the oscillators have one-dimensional slow variables. The functions are discontinuous in the relaxation limit μ → 0, which provides a simple alternative illustration to the major conclusion of the fast threshold modulation (FTM...

The main result of this paper is Theorem 2.13 which says that the quotient μ({1})/U associated to a quasi-hamiltonian space (M,ω, μ : M → U) has a symplectic structure even when 1 is not a regular value of the momentum map μ. Namely, it is a disjoint union of symplectic manifolds of possibly different dimensions, which generalizes the result of Alekseev, Malkin and Meinrenken in [AMM98]. We ill...
