This study provides an overview of recent research concerning the geometric significance of the Laplace-Beltrami operator, inherently associated with a Riemannian manifold. Essentially, it offers an expanded examination of R. Brooks' expository paper [1], as well as closely related articles. Beginning with a basic exploration of the isospectrality...
The service life of electrical switchgear is designed for a service life of 30 years. Meanwhile, the average age of switchgear is significantly higher than 40 years. The main causes for this are a low susceptibility to failure as well as the compulsion to reduce costs and optimize their use. Due to the high age of the electrical infrastructure, the...
The Sturm–Liouville operators on the lasso graph are considered. We obtain new regularized trace formulae for this class of differential operators, which are very useful to further study the inverse spectral problems of this kind of operators.

... We argue, however, that there is a fundamental difference between achievement and accomplishment verbs on the one hand and RCV on the other. In addition to what previous studies (Petrovčič, 2009;Xiao & McEnery, 2004) have shared on this topic, namely distinguishing between the two verb types by using them as the complement of stop, which sounds normal with accomplishments but odd with achievements, and that RCV do not function in the same way as accomplishment and achievement verbs because RCV are incompatible with imperfective markers zai and -zhe, while the use of the two markers for accomplishment and achievement verbs, followed by the perfective marker le, is perfectly grammatical, our empirical research has shown that there is a fundamental difference in the degree of completeness expressed by activities and accomplishments or achievements. RCV as a language category should therefore be considered as a feature of the grammatical aspect, just like the perfective marker le. ...
The present paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the verbal aspect in general and with special emphasis on the comparison of Chinese and Slovenian lexical aspect. Recognised discrepancies between the conceptualisation and verbalisation of actions in unrelated languages indicate that deeper cognitive differences affect our perception of reality, which is something that should be more widely recognized when learning and teaching foreign languages. The contribution of this article is a comparative analysis of available studies by authoritative linguists, based on which we have formulated a new and more comprehensive proposal that will help classify verb types in unrelated languages, and can be further exploited in the field of applied linguistic research.
... In order to fully explore this topic, the marker le 了, as a counterpart to the negative MEI, should be included in an comparative analysis. There is a very detailed, corpus-based study conducted on this subject by Petrovčič (2009), Operator Le in Chinese worth noting here. ...
The paper deals with corpus analysis of negation in Chinese, namely the negatives bù 不 and méi/ méiyǒu没/没有. The adverbs BU and MEI are two of the most frequent negatives in Chinese. The aim of this study is to present statistical data together with linguistics analysis. The results provide empirical evidence of discrepancy between “authentic” language data versus linguistic prescription with practical implications for second-language acquisition. The findings inter alia suggest a new approach to verb categorisation.
