The Narrating Self and the Experiencing Self in the Narratives of Women Who Have Experienced Trauma

Abstract This study examines how the appearance of post-traumatic growth as a result of a traumatic event is affected by the extent to which the experiencing self dominates the narrating self (concepts introduced by Franz Stanzel). The experiencing self describes its feelings, needs, and desires, and reveals its own attitudes toward the situation and its circumstances. The narrating self aims to give a detailed account of the event, circumstances and its own actions, without saying much about its emotional state. Seventy-eight Polish women were asked to recount their traumatic experiences and answer questions about how the experience had affected their thinking about themselves and their world-view. The participants narratives were analyzed in terms of the dominance of either the experiencing self or the narrating self, or their possible balance. The participants also filled out questionnaires to measure post-traumatic growth and sense of purpose in life. The qualitative analysis suggested that greater post-traumatic growth was reported by women for whom the experiencing self either dominated in the narratives over the narrating self, or was balanced with the equally developed story of the narrating self. However, the quantitative analysis distinguished only between the experiencing self and narrating self positions, with the former demonstrating greater post-traumatic growth, whereas narratives that balanced both voices were intermediate in the comparison and were not distinguished from the other more pure positions. Taken as a whole, results support the inference that narration from an emotion-focused internal perspective facilitates personal growth in the face of very difficult life events.
Iron–Nickel Nitride Nanostructures in Situ Grown on Surface-Redox-Etching Nickel Foam: Efficient and Ultrasustainable Electrocatalysts for Overall Water Splitting

Water splitting is widely considered to be a promising strategy for clean and efficient energy production. In this paper, for the first time we report an in situ growth of iron–nickel nitride nanostructures on surface-redox-etching Ni foam (FeNi3N/NF) as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. This method does not require a specially added nickel precursor nor an oxidizing agent, but achieves well-dispersed iron–nickel nitride nanostructures that are grown directly on the nickel foam surface. The commercial Ni foam in this work not only acts as a substrate but also serves as a slow-releasing nickel precursor that is induced by redox-etching of Fe3+. FeCl2 is a more preferable iron precursor than FeCl3 for no matter quality of FeNi3N growth or its electrocatalytic behaviors. The obtained FeNi3N/NF exhibits extraordinarily high activities for both oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with low overpotentials of 202 and 75 mV at 10 mA cm–2, Tafel slopes of .
Performance Investigation on SVPWM Sequences Based on Reduced Common-Mode Voltage in Dual Three-Phase Asymmetrical Machine

This paper presents Space Vector Modulation (SVM) sequences that reduce Common Mode Voltage (CMV) in Dual Three-phase Asymmetrical Induction Motor (DTAIM). At first, two existing SVM techniques such as Reference SVM (RSVM) and CMV1 are studied. Additionally, three new switching sequences are developed as CMV2, CMV3 and DCMV3, which reduce peak magnitude of CMV by 66.8% in comparison with RSVM technique. In SVM techniques, to obtain least CMV, zero vectors are usually replaced by two opposite large Active voltage Vectors (AV) with equal time duration. In such topologies like CMV1, total six AVs are utilized to synthesize the reference vector. The proposed SVM technique CMV2 utilizes only five large AVs to synthesize the reference vector and reduces CMV. Selection of five neighbouring AVs is reflected in reduction of harmonic flux trajectories and stator current ripple in proposed techniques. Additionally, two more switching sequences (CMV3 and DCMV3) are developed related to utilization of specific zero voltage vectors in all sectors (7 and 56) that produce zero CMV. These two switching sequences also provide easy implementation feature during the development of c-code program. In this study, CMV and stator current ripple are considered as performance parameters for different SVM techniques. All SVM techniques are analysed by analytical results, computer simulations, and using prototype test setup of DTAIM fed by Dual Three-phase Voltage Source Inverters (DTVSIs).
Constructions in competition: The development of the impersonal verb hunger and the adjectival periphrasis be hungry in Early Modern English

ABSTRACT The present study is concerned with the syntactic and semantic development of the impersonal verb hunger in Early Modern English. An analysis of corpus data has been carried out on ca. 20 million words drawn from EEBOCorp 1.0 (1473–1700). Results show that, from a semantic perspective, the verb hunger undergoes a process of metaphorical extension involving a change from the original meaning ‘to feel hunger’, in the domain of Physical Sensation, to the meaning ‘to desire’, in the domain of Emotion. In this latter sense, the verb becomes predominantly associated with prepositional complements (e.g. 1542, our hungry soules [.] hunger for y^ word of God). Also in the course of the Early Modern period, the verb is subject to competition with the adjectival periphrasis be hungry, especially in the sense ‘to feel hunger’. The article concludes by putting forward hypotheses to explain the motivations for these various developments.
Compact Co-Linearly Polarized Microstrip Antenna With Fence-Strip Resonator Loading for In-Band Full-Duplex Systems

A compact co-linearly polarized microstrip antenna with identical radiation properties is proposed and validated for in-band full-duplex systems. By exploring a fence-strip resonator (FSR) in the central plane of a patch, good isolation is achieved between the transmitting and receiving ports. The proposed FSR consists of a metallic vias fence and a strip with a distance away from the ground, performing as a pair of distributed inductor and capacitor. When the FSR is resonating, the radiating current is concentrated in the half part of the patch, performing at its half-TM<sub>10</sub> mode with high port isolation. To validate the proposed antenna, a prototype with the size of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.25\lambda _{0} \times 0.25\lambda _{0} \times 0.04\lambda _{0}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\lambda _{0}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> is the free-space wavelength at center frequency) has been fabricated and characterized, with experiments consistent well with simulations. A measured port isolation higher than 20 dB is achieved over the operating bandwidth of 2.40–2.52 GHz with the maximum of 30 dB. The proposed antenna is with the merits of compact size, low profile, simple feed, and planar-integrated structure for in-band full-duplex systems.
High conservation value approach in controlling water catchment area as a provider of environmental services

Catchment area is very important known for the protection of water resources as a provider of environmental services. Increasing population will increase water demand and the extent of land utilization. The purpose of this research is to determine the areas of high conservation value in the control of water catchment area at Peusangan Watershed as a provider of environmental services. One of the High Conservation Value (HCV) approaches is focused on water providers and flood control for downstream communities; and control of erosion and sedimentation. HCV is a spatial analysis, hence the use of multi-temporal satellite imagery and data processing using GIS plays an important role in the HCV assessment process. The results obtained, water catchment area in both natural and normal conditions 57.92%, getting critical 25.08% and rather critical, critical and very critical categories 17.0%. Sub-watershed in Peusangan Watershed area which has the largest critical area is Krueng Ceilala Sub-watershed (75, 56%) and Lut Tawar Sub-watershed (77.35%). Moderate Krueng Simpo Sub-watershed (35.44%) and Krueng Mane Sub-watershed (42, 17%). Krueng Ceulala Sub-watershed and Lut Tawar Sub-watershed is the upstream area of Peusangan Watershed which serves as a conservation area that needs to be kept in order to provide water availability in the transition and downstream Krueng Peusangan areas are to be maintained, as well as providing an impact in providing natural environment services and area that serves as water provider and flood controllers for downstream communities. The existence of water springs and rivers whose water has been utilized by the community is evidence that the area of watershed is high conservation value, due to the conversion of the land function that removes vegetation cover on the upstream causing functionality of the catchment area decreases.

The first PCA account for the most of the variability of the data.
How will natural gas market reforms affect carbon marginal abatement costs? Evidence from China

Having recognised the significant role of natural gas in reducing carbon abatement costs, China is rapidly promoting its growth. However, obvious distortions exist in China’s natural gas market, and it is unclear how these may affect abatement policies going forward. Therefore, to assess the effects of energy market distortions on the carbon marginal abatement costs (MACs) in China, this study proposes a computable general equilibrium model for China’s natural gas sector, which considers the monopoly market structure, price regulation, and import restrictions. Results show that deregulation of gas prices will lead to an effective decrease in China’s MACs. China’s MACs are insensitive to liberalisation of the market monopoly or gas import restrictions. When all three distortions are fully deregulated, China’s MACs show an obvious upward trend. Finally, this study uses China's carbon trading policies as an example to propose policy implications under different scenarios of natural gas market reform.
A Memory Network Information Retrieval Model for Identification of News Misinformation

The speed and volume at which misinformation spreads on social media have motivated efforts to automate fact-checking which begins with stance detection. For fake news stance detection, for example, many classification-based models have been proposed often with high complexity and hand-crafted features. Although these models can achieve high accuracy scores on a targeted small corpus of fake news, few are evaluated on a larger corpus of fake and conspiracy sites due to efficiency limitations and the lack of compatibility with the actual fact-checking process. In this article, we propose a practical two-stage stance detection model that is tailored to the real-life problem. Specifically, we integrate an information retrieval system with an end to end memory network model to sort articles based on their relevance to the claim and then identify the fine-grained stance of each relevant article towards its given claim. We evaluate our model on the Fake News Challenge dataset (FNC-1). The results show that the performance of our model is comparable to those of the state-of-the-art models, average weighted accuracy of 82.1, while it closely follows the real-life process of fact-checking. We also validate our model with a large dataset from a real-life fact-checking website (i.e., Snopes.com), and the findings demonstrate the capability of the model in distinguishing false from true news headlines.
Empathizing with the End User: Effect of Empathy and Emotional Intelligence on Ideation

ABSTRACT Trait emotional intelligence and evoked empathy may help in a task where emotion-evoking source material is utilized to ideate solutions and services for the end-user. Participants of the current study read life stories of different persons, with perspective-taking instruction to evoke either high or low empathy. The reading was followed with ideation tasks, first identifying problems that the person of the story is facing, and then creating initial ideas for products or services to help with these problems. The perspective-taking empathy manipulation had an expected effect to the self-reported state empathy; however, it did not have an effect on the performance in the ideation tasks. Trait emotional intelligence was related to the detection of the problems and to the generating of more ideas. The results imply that emotional intelligence may be beneficial in ideation process where perspective of the customer or end user has to be considered.
A Dynamic-Segment-Alternating SVPWM for a Five-Level NNPP Converter With Neutral-Point Voltage Control

The neutral-point (NP) potential balance has always been an essential issue for multilevel converters. In this article, the primary cause of the NP potential deviation using seven-segment space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is theoretically revealed. A dynamic-segment-alternating SVPWM (DSA-SVPWM) based on a five-level nested NP piloted converter is proposed, which can effectively balance the NP potential, suppress capacitor voltage oscillations and reduce harmonic distortions. The performance is observed with different power factors and modulation indexes, and the steady state and transient responses are analyzed. The conduction loss and switching loss of the converter are studied. The loss distributions among switching devices are also presented. The proposed DSA-SVPWM is simple to implement with good generalization ability, which allows it to be applied to converters of other topologies and levels. Simulations and experiments are performed to verify the method's effectiveness and practicality.

Resident Perceptions of Human–Beaver Conflict in a Rural Landscape in Alberta, Canada

The North American beaver (Castor canadensis) plays a key ecological role in wetland systems, yet their activities can result in costly damage to human infrastructure. Although qualitative research on human perceptions of beavers is rare, studies on human– beaver conflict in the United States identified generally positive attitudes toward beavers and opposition to lethal management, yet in Alberta, Canada, 79% of municipalities that managed beavers reported using trapping and shooting to remove problem beavers. Given the important ecological contributions of beavers and their potential conflict with humans, qualitative research is needed to assess perspectives of stakeholders who directly experience beaver-related impacts. To address this need, from August to September 2014, we conducted semi-structured, in-person interviews with 9 residents who lived in rural areas of Beaver County, Alberta, Canada, where the potential for human–beaver conflict was high. This pilot study involved purposive sampling to select a sample of county residents who had direct interactions with beavers on or adjacent to their properties. We found that perceptions of beaver-related impacts varied across individuals, although many respondents emphasized negative impacts to agricultural production. There were also conflicts concerning local government management actions, including both support for and opposition to lethal control. This lack of consensus among the public poses a challenge to management agencies that lack time and resources to consult with all stakeholders on a multitude of issues related to human– wildlife interactions. However, our results suggest that consultation with landowners by the government is necessary to fully understand the negative impacts residents experience, the positive impacts they desire, and the socially acceptable means for managing them.
Review—Two-Dimensional Layered Materials for Energy Storage Applications

Rechargeable batteries are most important energy storage devices in modern society with the rapid development and increasing demand for handy electronic devices and electric vehicles. The higher surface-to-volume ratio two-dimensional (2D) materials, especially transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and transition metal carbide/nitrite generally referred as MXene, have attracted intensive research activities due to their fascinating physical/chemical properties with extensive applications. One of the growing applications is to use these 2D materials as potential electrodes for rechargeable batteries and electrochemical capacitors. This review is an attempt to summarize the research and development of TMDCs, MXenes and their hybrid structures in energy storage systems. © The Author(s) 2016. Published by ECS.

Multi-model intercomparisons of air quality simulations for the KORUS-AQ campaign

The Korea-United States Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) field study was conducted during May–June 2016 to understand the factors controlling air quality in South Korea. Extensive aircraft and ground network observations from the campaign offer an opportunity to address issues in current air quality models and reduce model-observation disagreements. This study examines these issues using model evaluation against the KORUS-AQ observations and intercomparisons between models. Six regional and two global chemistry transport models using identical anthropogenic emissions participated in the model intercomparison study and were used to conduct air quality simulations focusing on ozone (O3), aerosols, and their precursors for the campaign. Using the KORUSv5 emissions inventory, which has been updated from KORUSv1, the models successfully reproduced observed nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds mixing ratios in surface air, especially in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, but showed systematic low biases for carbon monoxide (CO), implying possible missing CO sources in the inventory in East Asia. Although the DC-8 aircraft-observed O3 precursor mixing ratios were well captured by the models, simulated O3 levels were lower than the observations in the free troposphere in part due to too low stratospheric O3 influxes, especially in regional models. During the campaign, the synoptic meteorology played an important role in determining the observed variability of PM2.5 (PM diameter ≤ 2.5 μm) concentrations in South Korea. The models successfully simulated the observed PM2.5 variability with significant inorganic sulfate-nitrate-ammonium aerosols contribution, but failed to reproduce that of organic aerosols, causing a large inter-model variability. From the model evaluation, we find that an ensemble of model results, incorporating individual models with differing strengths and weaknesses, performs better than most individual models at representing observed atmospheric compositions for the campaign. Ongoing model development and evaluation, in close collaboration with emissions inventory development, are needed to improve air quality forecasting.
Inside and outside views of the Croatian police

ABSTRACT This paper explores public views about police integrity and contrasts them with the police views about police integrity. It also compares citizen and police officer views about the police. A modified version of the police integrity survey, containing 14 hypothetical vignettes describing various forms of police misconduct, was distributed to both students and police officers in Croatia. The respondents in the study, 1,142 police officers from Croatia and 450 students from the University of Zagreb, shared their views of how serious most police officers would evaluate misconduct, the expected discipline, and whether they would report the described misconduct. The results suggest not only that students expressed less positive views of the police than police officers themselves did, but also that students expressed attitudes associated with somewhat lower integrity than police officers did.

DGX-A100 Face to Face DGX-2—Performance, Power and Thermal Behavior Evaluation

Nvidia is a leading producer of GPUs for high-performance computing and artificial intelligence, bringing top performance and energy-efficiency. We present performance, power consumption, and thermal behavior analysis of the new Nvidia DGX-A100 server equipped with eight A100 Ampere microarchitecture GPUs. The results are compared against the previous generation of the server, Nvidia DGX-2, based on Tesla V100 GPUs. We developed a synthetic benchmark to measure the raw performance of floating-point computing units including Tensor Cores. Furthermore, thermal stability was investigated. In addition, Dynamic Frequency and Voltage Scaling (DVFS) analysis was performed to determine the best energy-efficient configuration of the GPUs executing workloads of various arithmetical intensities. Under the energy-optimal configuration the A100 GPU reaches efficiency of 51 GFLOPS/W for double-precision workload and 91 GFLOPS/W for tensor core double precision workload, which makes the A100 the most energy-efficient server accelerator for scientific simulations in the market.
