Researchers Discover How Spelling Errors Slow Down Reading in Russian
Psycholinguists from the Centre for Language and Brain at HSE University–St Petersburg have shown that words that are frequently misspelled are processed more slowly by readers, even when presented with the correct spelling. The researchers confirmed this effect for the first time using Russian-language materials and found that response speed is most strongly linked to how confidently individuals can distinguish the correct spelling of a word from an incorrect one. The study has been published in The Mental Lexicon.

HSE Develops App for Assessing Phonological Processing in Children
Researchers at the HSE Centre for Language and Brain have developed a new digital tool for assessing children's phonological processing skills—the ZARYA (Sound Analysis of the Russian Language) test battery. It is the first standardised application in Russia designed to provide a fast and reliable assessment of children's ability to distinguish speech sounds, retain them in working memory, and perform phonemic analysis. The app runs on Android tablets and smartphones and is available for download from RuStore. Details of the test validation have been published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research.

Scientists Discover Why Europium 'Misbehaves'
Europium is a rare-earth metal responsible for the pure red glow in displays and other luminescent materials. For a long time, however, it refused to emit light when surrounded by certain organic molecules known as acylpyrazolone ligands. Chemists have now uncovered the reason: in europium complexes with these ligands, a 'black window' appears—a charge-transfer state in which the energy absorbed by the ligand is dissipated as heat rather than emitted as light. Understanding this mechanism opens the way to designing more efficient red-emitting materials for displays, fluorescent thermometers, and chemical sensors. The results have been published in Dalton Transactions.

A metric approach for scheduling problems with minimizing the maximum penalty

Applied Mathematical Modelling. 2021. Vol. 89. No. 2. P. 1163–1176.
Lazarev A. A., Lemtyuzhnikova D., Werner F.

NP -hard scheduling problems with the criterion of minimizing the maximum penalty, e.g. maximum lateness, are considered. For such problems, a metric which delivers an upper bound on the absolute error of the objective function value is introduced. Taking the given instance of some problem and using the introduced metric, the nearest instance is deter- mined for which a polynomial or pseudo-polynomial algorithm is known. A schedule is constructed for this determined instance which is then applied to the original instance. It is shown how this approach can be applied to different scheduling problems.

On Ω-stable 3-diffeomorphism with a solid or thickened surfaced basic set
Pochinka O., Barinova M., Journal of Geometry and Physics 2026 Vol. 228 P. 1–8
In the present paper we consider an Ω-stable 3-diffeomorphism with a solid or thickened surfaced non-trivial basic set. Such basic sets include, for instance, all one-dimensional expanding attractors and those two-dimensional basic sets that are not expanding. We prove that the chain recurrent set of every such a diffeomorphism necessarily contains at least two non-trivial ...

Почти пустые симплексы и полиэдры Клейна

Пусть симплекс с целочисленными вершинами - содержащий ровно одну целочисленную точку, отличную от своих вершин. В работе доказывается, что если точка находится во внутренности симплекса или в относительной внутренности некоторой гиперграни симплекса, то объем симплекса ограничен величиной, зависящей только от размерности, в противном случае объем симплекса может быть сколь угодно большим. Этот результат применяется для вывода асимптотической формулы для среднего числа вершин полиэдров ...

n this paper, we focus on the generalization of the Hurst empirical law and suggest a set of reduced parameters for quantitative description of long-time series. These series are usually considered as a specific response of a complex system (economic, geophysical, electromagnetic and other systems), where successive fixations of external factors become impossible. We consider ...

This paper studies the usage of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) for uplink transmissions in IEEE 802.11ax networks. OFDMA enables simultaneous multi-user transmissions in Wi-Fi, but its usage requires efficient resource allocation algorithms.

Abstract In this work, an approach for a preference-based job-flow scheduling in Grid virtual organizations is proposed and studied. Virtual organizations provide uniform rules of the resources sharing and consumption and should respect individual and common preferences of its stakeholders: users, resource providers and administrators. In most cases, a virtual organization’s stakeholders pursue contradictory market-based goals, ...

In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing total weighted tardiness for equal-length jobs with arbitrary release dates on a single machine. This problem is mentioned as a minimal open problem, see http://www2.informatik.uni osnabrueck.de/knust/class/dateien/classes/ein_ma/ein_ma, i.e., its complexity status is still open. The latest results on this problem were presented in the years 2000 and ...
