Introduction. The purpose of the research is to consider the linguistic actualization of the main characteristics of the artist's visual perception in the interview discourse. The relevance of the research is due to its inclusion in the context of modern anthropo-oriented study of cognition of the world by a creative person. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time the process of perception of the world by an English-speaking artist is studied as an event within the framework of a complex linguistic and cognitive approach, which allows to analyze its specificity to the fullest extent.Methodology and sources. The methodological basis of the research was made up of the works of the linguists-cognitologists L.V. Laenko, I.Yu. Kolesov, psychologist V. A. Barabanshchikov who revealed distinctive characteristics of perceptual image and substantiated the expediency of perception as an event. The research material was interviews with English-speaking artists from the Internet versions of the newspapers devoted to the life and work of modern artists. The methods of lexico-semantic, frame, contextual and pragmalinguistic analysis were used.Results and discussion. The article reveals the peculiarities of visual perception of the world by contemporary English-speaking artists, which are reflected in the discourse of the interview. The author reveals the multidimensionality of a subject of perception, different ways of its representation on the verbal level: as an observer-actor and as a “offscreen” observer. The paper shows the specificity of visual perception of the world by the artist as a perceptual event that possesses spatial and temporal coordinates and such significant characteristics as dynamism, motivation, focus and emotionality. The denotative situation of perception is actualized in English by personal pronouns, active-action predicates, perceptual predicates, existential constructions, phase verbs, and state change predicates. The important feature of the artist's creative perception of the world is the forming of the necessity of representation in his consciousness perceptive image by means of painterly signs. As a result of such representation the given perceptive image receives the further development and becomes the basis for creating an artistic image to be embodied in an art work.Conclusion. In the interview with the artist there is a complex process of cognition of the world by the creative person, based on the perceptual event. Visual perception is represented by the artist as a directed activity, which is to learn and which requires certain efforts and motivation. As a result of the perceptual event that the artist experiences, an artistic image is formed that is actualized in the work of art.

In this history review, the development of tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) is analyzed from the perspective of scientific instrumentation development. TERS is a powerful and label‐free tool for nanocharacterization, still mainly an academic tool, built from the achievements in Raman spectroscopy, surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy, near‐field optics, and plasmonics. We identified three turning points in TERS history so far, based on two approaches to categorize TERS publications. Evidences from our analyses indicate that developments have been made in the scientific understanding of the technique itself, on the technology for its implementation, and on the application of TERS in other fields. Although, in total, more papers have focused on the technological development, application‐oriented works became the most important type of publication in the last years. This development has participation from different actors, but it has been performed mainly by the academic community, alone or in association with national laboratories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fast movement of objects and illumination changes may lead to a negative effect on camera images for object detection and tracking. Event cameras are neuromorphic vision sensors that capture the vitality of a scene, mitigating data redundancy and latency. This paper proposes a new solution to moving object detection and tracking using an event frame from bio-inspired event cameras. First, an object detection method is designed using a combined event frame and a standard frame in which the detection is performed according to probability and color, respectively. Then, a detection-based object tracking method is proposed using an event frame and an improved kernel correlation filter to reduce missed detection. Further, a distance measurement method is developed using event frame-based tracking and similar triangle theory to enhance the estimation of distance between the object and camera. Experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods for moving object detection and tracking.

Deploying a cognitive grammar perspective, this paper reads Gustav Hasford's war narrative, The Short-Timers, as displaying the way attentional windowing is reflected in the language. We have taken the methodological decision of becoming cognitively sensitized to the linguistic texture of traumatically loaded episodes, with the aim of looking at the specific linguistic choices that the producer of literary language has made, and the role played by such linguistic choices in cueing the reader's attention toward these event frames. Specifically, we demonstrate that confluence of windowing and nesting of attention with theories of conceptual metaphor, schema, and force dynamics can yield a fuller cognitive grammatical account of the foregrounded event frames. It is observed that allocation of salience to such event frames is greatly dependent on phraseology that has a high density of metaphoric constructions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
