- In the early months of life, infants acquire information about the phonetic properties of their native language simply by listening to adults speak. The acoustic properties of phonetic units in language input to young infants in the United States, Russia, and Sweden were examined. In all three countries, mothers addressing their infants produced acoustically more extreme vowels than they did when addressing adults, resulting in a "stretching" of vowel space. The findings show that language input to infants provides exceptionally well-specified information about the linguistic units that form the building blocks for words.

- The high-temperature Knudsen effusion method was used to study the vaporization processes and thermodynamic properties of dysprosium trifluoride in the temperature range 1280-1440 K. Data on the partial vapour pressure of DyF3 as a function of temperature and the enthalpy of sublimation of DyF3 were obtained. Using the value of the enthalpy of formation of solid DyF3, available in the literature, the enthalpy of formation of the gaseous molecule of dysprosium trifluoride and its atomization energy were calculated. At 1382 K, the partial vapour pressure of Dy2F6 over dysprosium trifluoride was obtained and the Gibbs energy of the gaseous reaction (Dy2F6)=(2DyF3) was evaluated.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A Knudsen effusion mass spectrometric method was used to study the vaporization processes and thermodynamic properties of pure V2O3 and 14 samples of vanadium-containing slags in the CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system in the temperature range 1875-2625 K. The system was calibrated using gold in the liquid state as the standard. Vaporization was carried out from double tungsten effusion cells. First it was shown that, in vapor over V2O3 and the vanadium-containing slags in the temperature range 1875-2100 K, the following vapor species were present: VO2, VO, O, WO3 and WO2, with the latter two species being formed as a result of interaction with the tungsten crucibles. The temperature dependencies of the partial pressures of these vapor species were obtained over V2O3 and the slags. The ion current comparison method was used for the determination of the V2O3 activities in slags as a function of temperature with solid V2O3 as a reference state. The V2O3 activity coefficients in the slags under investigation indicated positive deviations from ideality at 1900 K and a tendency to ideal behavior at 2100K. It was shown that the V2O3 activity as a function of the slag basicity decreased at 1900 K and 2000 K and was practically constant in the slag melts at 2100K. The results are expected to be valuable in the optimization of slag composition in high-alloy steelmaking processes as well as for their environmental implications.
