Kartvelian substrate toponyms in Abkhazia

In this paper we discuss a specific Kartvelian model of toponyms, using names of plants without any affixes as toponyms. This model is observed almost all over the Georgian territory. It has been noted on the Abkhazian territory as well, but is not found in the Abkhaz language. We suggest that Sukhumi, Gagra and Tkvarcheli follow this model.

Humanism and Normativism: Two fundamental aspects of the personal worldview

Broad systems of meaning permeating a person’s worldview are crucial to personality, because they organize beliefs, values, and attitudes and imbue lives with meaning and direction. Yet they have attracted little research. Humanism and Normativism are arguably the broadest worldview constructs to date, encompassing attitudes about human nature, society, morality, affect, and epistemology. Accor

Homogenization of spherical inclusions

The homogenization of cubically arranged, homogeneous spherical inclusions in a background material is addressed. This is accomplished by the solution of a local problem in the unit cell. An exact series representation of the effective relative permittivity of the heterogeneous material is derived, and the functional behavior for small radii of the spheres is given. The solution is utilizing the tr

Physical Bounds and Optimal Currents on Antennas

Physical bounds on the directivity Q-factor quotient and optimal current distributions are determined for antennas of arbitrary shape and size using an optimization formulation. A variational approach offers closed form solutions for small antennas expressed in the polarizability of the antenna structure. Finite sized antennas are solved using Lagrangian parameters in a method of moments formulati

Redistribution of blood flow in the cerebral cortex of normal subjects during head-up postural change

Regional cerebral blood flow was measured in 21 normotensive subjects during supine rest and during head-up tilt to 70 degrees. The results showed significant and consistent regional cerebral blood flow changes in the frontal areas with lower relative flow distribution values (percentage of mean flow) during head-up tilt than during supine rest. The lower frontal flow distribution values during ti

Socioeconomic differences in the fertility transition: a micro level study of southern Sweden

The almost complete focus on the aggregate level in previous research on demographic, socioeconomic and cultural determinants of the fertility transition means that we to a large extent not only lack knowledge about the specific mechanisms of the decline, but also its socioeconomic patterns. In this paper we explore socioeconomic fertility differentials in an industrializing community of southern
