The paper lists the seven published translations of Buehler's Sprachtheorie, from German into Spanish, Italian, Japanese, English, Russian, Polish, French. Not only it specifies for each of them the translators, either individual or in-team, but also explains the cultural environments and the contextual conditions which promoted or inhibited for a long time a wider dissemination of Buehler's main work. Some interviews with translators are also included.

First, we aim to place Bühler's axiomatics in its own spatial-temporal context — along the temporal line which connects his works, that originate at the latest from 1927, and possibly even from 1903, up to 1960, as well as in the Central-European zone which connects two of Europe's major capitals of culture, the two cities close to Bühler's professional life, Vienna and Prague, especially in the inter-war years. While doing so, another temporal line will be identified, which begins at the First International Congress of Linguists at the Hague in 1928, and continues, beyond the well-known 1929 Prague Linguistic Circle Theses, as far as 1932, to the collective Prague Theses concerning language culture. In the background, the ‘axiomatizing trend’ permeates the epistemological project of the Vienna Circle in its founding years. Eventually, the question will arise as to if and how Bühler's epistemological move has been recognized, appreciated, and taken seriously in the further development of language sciences, including contemporary thought.

A catalog including a set of the most recent Color Magnitude Diagrams (CMDs) is presented for a sample of 61 Galactic Globular Clusters (GGCs). We used this data-base to perform an homogeneous systematic analysis of the evolved sequences (namely, Red Giant Branch (RGB), Horizontal Branch (HB) and Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB)). Based on this analysis, we present: (1) a new procedure to measure the level of the ZAHB (V_ZAHB) and an homogeneous set of distance moduli obtained adopting the HB as standard candle; (2) an independent estimate for RGB metallicity indicators and new calibrations of these parameters in terms of both spectroscopic ([Fe/H]_CG97) and global metallicity ([M/H], including also the alpha-elements enhancement). The set of equations presented can be used to simultaneously derive a photometric estimate of the metal abundance and the reddening from the morphology and the location of the RGB in the (V,B-V)-CMD. (3) the location of the RGB-Bump (in 47 GGCs) and the AGB-Bump (in 9 GGCs). The dependence of these features on the metallicity is discussed. We find that by using the latest theoretical models and the new metallicity scales the earlier discrepancy between theory and observations (~0.4 mag) completely disappears., Comment: 51 pages, 23 figures, AAS Latex, macro rtrpp4.sty included, accepted by AJ

In this paper, some results relevant to experimental characterization of Mediterranean sea clutter are presented. The data were collected by using a X-band coastal radar sited on an Italian Navy area in Livomo. The aim of this research activity is the collection of clutter samples in different conditions (weather conditions, carrier frequency, polarization and radar site) for clutter models validation, performance assessment and optimization of the radar processor., This article is from Target and Clutter Scattering and Their Effects on Military Radar Performance (Diffraction par les Cibles et le Fouillis et ses Effets sur les Performances des Radars Militaires ), AD-A244 893, p8-1 thru 8-10.
