On The “Genesis of Modern Management”

The recipient of the Newcomen Society Prize in 1967 for his Genesis of Modern Management (Cambridge, Mass., 1965), Sidney Pollard is without question deserving of the honor. His study represents a major contribution to the history of the British Industrial Revolution and therefore at the same time to industrial and economic history in general. It is a compendium of scholarly work that has been completed; it also draws heavily on unpublished materials. Hardly a name of prominence among the entrepreneurs of the English Industrial Revolution is omitted. As a summation of published work this book holds a position somewhat similar to the much shorter, excellent methodological essay of R. M. Hartwell, "The Causes of the Industrial Revolution. " (Economic History Review, 2d ser. 18 [1965], recently reprinted in a paperback, The Causes of the Industrial Revolution in England [London, 1967]). To Pollard's and Hartwell's contribution should be added Phyllis Deane's The First Industrial Revolution (Cambridge, 1965) as the necessary preliminary work that any student of industrial revolutions must undertake today. These studies all concentrate on the phenomenon as it existed in England and tend to ignore the Continental experience, leading to the possible and unjustified, oversimplified conclusion that industrial progress outside of England did not exist or at best was a derivative of the English. While it is not to be denied that nowhere in Continental Europe did there occur such a broad, revolutionary change as that which took place in England, nevertheless advanced industrial plants and technology were to be found there and may possibly have had some effect on Britain. Pollard categorically asserts that the Continental experience was irrelevant for British organizational development in industry. And well it may have been-but a simple assertion even when only a repetition of what numerous other authors have said is still not conclusive proof. Merely recalling the great interest with which the British engineer, John
An automated UAV-assisted 2D mapping system for First Responders

Recent advances in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) sector have allowed these systems to carry multiple sensors, thus increasing their versatility and adaptability to a wide range of tasks and services. Furthermore, the agile performance of these vehicles allows them to adapt to rapidly changing environments making them an effective tool for emergencies. A single UAV, or a swarm working in collaboration, can be a handy tool for First Responders (FRs) during mission planning, mission monitoring, and the tracking of evolving risks. UAVs, with their onboard sensors, can, among other things, capture visual information of the disaster safely and quickly, and generate an up-to-date map of the area. This work presents an autonomous system for UAV-assisted mapping optimized for FRs, including the generation of routes for the UAVs to follow, data collection, data processing, and map generation.
Natural Variation for Salt Tolerance among Basil Accessions from Iran Based on Fluorescence Transient and Morphological and Growth Characteristics

3 ABSTRACT To study salinity tolerance of 15 basil accessions widely distributed across Iran, they were grown under two salt levels including control (no NaCl) and 40 mM NaCl (Hoagland nutrient solutions with EC of 1.1 and 5.5 dS m -1 , respectively). The studied parameters included morphological characteristics and chlorophyll a fluorescence transient (OJIP) measurements. According to the results, the accessions were categorized into three clusters under the salt stress. Salinity had significant effects on morphological and growth parameters in all basil plants. Compared to the control, NaCl decreased plant height. The number of leaves in Khash, Zabol, and Orumiyeh accessions was more than the others. Both salt and accession caused a decrease up to 43% in leaf fresh weight, emphasizing the major role of accession when salinity was applied. Salinity influenced negatively the biomass yield in basil plants. These decreases varied from 19 to 45% depending on the accessions. Salt treatment of basil plants decreased photosystem II activity, as evaluated from chlorophyll fluorescence data. The parameters that were most affected by salt treatment were maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (F V /F M ) and calculated Performance Index (PI ABS ). Overall, among the studied basil accessions, genotype Ardabil had superior tolerance to salt stress. Furthermore, the most of accessions can be used for studying the mechanism of salinity tolerance in basil
The construction of an English composition MOOC using Google Classroom

With the rapid development of technology, online writing instruction (OWI) has become an integral part of all writing instruction. However, one of the challenges encountered by OWI instructors has been to select an appropriate online learning platform or learning management system (LMS) aligning with writing pedagogies. This study developed a small-scale fully online writing course – a college-level English composition MOOC using Google Classroom, a free and easy-to-use online learning platform, to (a) explore the potential of using Google Classroom in teaching composition MOOCs and (b) examine students’ learning effectiveness in the composition MOOC. Participants were 33 EFL students who learnt knowledge and skills needed to write a literature review assignment in this 6-week, theme-based composition MOOC. Results demonstrated that the composition MOOC was well received by the participants and was effective in teaching writing given that students made improvement on both knowledge of citation practices and final written product. Specifically, fea - tures of Google Classroom allowed teachers to create different types of learning materials, assignments, and assessment that make online writing courses engaging and interactive. Most importantly, its collaborative features, such as file sharing and the real-time communication technology, empowered teach - ers to give timely feedback and create communicative activities that writing pedagogies value, making Google Classroom a good platform for OWI.

Virtual Reality and Visualization

Since the word "Virtual Reality" was invented in 1989, quality of the technology has been improved more and more. Especially, development of IPT (Immersive Projection Technology) largely contributed to generate highly defined virtual world, and to give VR technology lots of 'serious applications'. Doubtlessly, visualization is one of the most promising applications. In this paper, several recent topics of VR technology such as virtual archeology and multi-sensory info-communication technology are introduced in terms of visualization technology.
COOPERATIVE ADVERTISING IN A TWO-ECHELON SUPPLY CHAIN BY CONSIDERING CAPACITY AND BUDGET CONSTRAINTS: A BI-LEVEL PROGRAMMING APPROACH

Advertising is one of the ways that supply chains use to increase their customers. Cooperative advertising is one of the new approaches in advertising. In cooperative advertising, the manufacturer pays part of the advertising costs of its retailers. This increases retailers' incentives to invest more in advertising, which increases customer absorption. On the other hand, this advertisement is in the form of a contract that the manufacturer uses as a lever. Production capacities and available budgets of the manufacturer and retailers are some of the challenges of cooperative advertising in determining the optimal values of variables. Retailers compete with each other in the form of Generalized-Nash game to get more participation rates and more goods from the manufacturer. Because some variables are already predetermined by the manufacturer, the competition between the manufacturer and the retailers is a Stackelberg game. Finally, the mathematical model proposed and analyzed through numerical experiments, and some managerial insights are reported.

“Extending the MuST-C Corpus for a Comparative Evaluation of Speech Translation Technology”

This project is aimed at the creation and release of additional reference translations to extend the test sets of MuST-C, a publicly released multilingual Speech Translation (ST) corpus based on English TED Talks (Di Gangi et al., 2019c). The additional references are collected for three language directions, i.e. English-Italian/German/Spanish, and consist of professional post-edits of the output of two state-of-theart systems that represent the main current ST approaches, namely a cascade system and a direct system. The collected post-edits allow us to carry out and share a fine-grained comparative and cross-lingual analysis of the two ST solutions, aimed at shedding light on the strengths and limitations of the rapidly advancing direct technology with respect to the traditional cascaded methodology. In this report we describe the methodology devised to collect the post-edits (Section 2), the features of the state-of-the-art ST systems we developed for English-German, English-Italian and English-Spanish (Section 3), our evaluation methodology based on post-editing (Section 4), and finally the results of the comparative evaluation carried out exploiting the collected post-edits (Sections 5 and 6).
Software Defect Fault Intelligent Location and Identification Method Based on Data Mining

With the advancement of the times, computer technology is also constantly improving, and people’s requirements for software functions are also constantly improving, and as software functions become more and more complex, developers are technically limited and teamwork is not tacitly coordinated. And so on, so in the software development process, some errors and problems will inevitably lead to software defects. The purpose of this paper is to study the intelligent location and identification methods of software defects based on data mining. This article first studies the domestic and foreign software defect fault intelligent location technology, analyzes the shortcomings of traditional software defect detection and fault detection, then introduces data mining technology in detail, and finally conducts in-depth research on software defect prediction technology. Through in-depth research on several technologies, it reduces the accidents of software equipment and delays its service life. According to the experiments in this article, the software defect location proposed in this article uses two methods to compare. The first error set is used as a unit to measure the subsequent error set software error location cost. The first error set 1F contains 19 A manually injected error program, and the average positioning cost obtained is 3.75%.
Nonlinear dynamics analysis of cluster-shaped conservative flows generated from a generalized thermostatted system

The thermostatted system is a conservative system different from Hamiltonian systems, and has attracted much attention because of its rich and different nonlinear dynamics. We report and analyze the multiple equilibria and curve axes of the cluster-shaped conservative flows generated from a generalized thermostatted system. It is found that the cluster-shaped structure is reflected in the geometry of the Hamiltonian, such as isosurfaces and local centers, and the shapes of cluster-shaped chaotic flows and invariant tori rely on the isosurfaces determined by initial conditions, while the numbers of clusters are subject to the local centers solved by the Hessian matrix of the Hamiltonian. Moreover, the study shows that the cluster-shaped chaotic flows and invariant tori are chained together by curve axes, which are the segments of equilibrium curves of the generalized thermostatted system. Furthermore, the interesting results are vividly demonstrated by the numerical simulations.
Estimation and Compensation of IQ Imbalance in SWIPT System

—Although there are many articulations of SWIPT architecture implementations, the hardware impairment aspect involved in the SWIPT architecture system is not given much attention. This paper evaluates the performance of SWIPT PS Reciever architecture in the presence of IQ imbalance hardware impairment with 16-QAM transmitter and AWGN channel. The parameters SNR, BER is evaluated in the presence of amplitude, phase imbalance, and PS factor at the SWIPT receiver side. Further, the IQ imbalance is estimated and compensated using a blind compensation algorithm. The system achieved a maximum BER of 10 − 7 in the presence of amplitude and phase imbalance of 0.2 and 1.6 respectively.
A Review on Impulse RADAR

RADAR plays a vital role in military applications since its origin in the 2nd world war. Recently it has been used in surface inception, health monitoring, infrastructure health monitoring, etc. In these applications, Ultra-wideband RADAR systems are more popular than traditional RADAR systems. Impulse RADAR is a special kind of ultra-wideband RADAR, which is mostly used for surface penetration, through-wall imaging, antimissile detection, anti-stealth technology, etc. because of its high resolution and low center frequency. Out of all these applications, impulse RADAR has been used intensively as a ground-penetrating RADAR for the detection of land mines, underlying pipelines, buried objects, etc. This report has attempted to provide the steps for designing the impulse ground penetrating RADAR (GPR) as well as provides the value of crucial parameters required in the design process of commercial GPR systems. Keywords—RADAR, Impulse RADAR, Ground Penetrating
Profiling and optimization of Deep Neural Networks for embedded automotive applications

Over the past decade, deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved dramatic accuracy improvements and are now used in a vast range of application domains, from object detection [9] to speech recognition [11]. Car manufacturers are now considering using deep neural networks (DNNs) primarily (but not only) in their advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and ultimately in their autonomous driving (AD) solutions.
Xenophobia in South Africa: An Insight into the Media Representation andTextual Analysis

This paper examines print media coverage of xenophobicrelated behaviours and its possibility to incite xenophobic violence in South Africa considering the fact that the press has had accusations of publishing unbalanced and inconsistent stories about xenophobic-related violence. The method adopted was textual analysis of the selected South African newspapers’ headlines. Thus, this paper has made use of headlines from the Daily Dispatch, The Citizen, Sunday Times, Business Daily, and Independent Online news (IOL), between the period of May 2008 to August 2018. Interestingly, most of the selected newspapers in this paper have published vastly during this period, and they have been accused of misrepresentation, biasness, unbalanced reportage mostly on xenophobic-related violence. The findings of this paper revealed that these headlines are capable to putting readers on the edge and thus incite xenophobic violence across the country. In an attempt to discourage xenophobic behaviours, this paper has therefore recommended peace journalism and Ubuntu journalism as alternative models for reporting xenophobic violence and conflict.
Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (g-csf) with or without four weeks of n-acetyl cysteine (nac) in severe alcoholic hepatitis

Background: Severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH) has high mortality and new therapies are the need of the hour. Though controversial, the use of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) has shown promising results in some studies. Addition of a short course (5-days) of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) to G-CSF was not found to have any extra benefit. Therefore, we performed a randomized, controlled, open label study to evaluate the efficacy of G-CSF with or without the addition of 4-weeks of NAC in patients with severe AH. Methods: We had originally planned to enrol 219 patients with severe AH who would be randomly allocated 1:1:1 to receive either standard medical therapy (SMT) alone (control group) or SMT plus 5-days of G-CSF (G-CSF group) or SMT plus G-CSF and intravenous NAC for 5 days followed by oral NAC from days 6 to 28 (combination group). However, recruitment of patients for the study was slow and was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we proceeded with an interim analysis of the patients who have already been enrolled from October 2017 to February 2021. Clinical data and blood samples were collected at baseline, day 6 and then at monthly intervals. The primary outcome was 90-day survival. Secondary outcomes included mobilization of CD34+ cells at day 6, and change in Child Turcotte Pugh (CTP), model for end-stage liver disease (MELD), and modified discriminant function (mDF) scores during follow-up. Results: Sixty-six patients with severe AH (control group: 23, G-CSF group:22, and combination group: 21) were included in the interim analysis. All patients have completed 90 days of follow-up. Survival at 90-days in the controls, G-CSF, and combination groups were 60.9%, 77.3% and 66.7%, respectively and the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.59). There was significantly increased mobilization of CD34+ cells on day 6 in the G-CSF and combination group as compared to controls (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in median percentage change from baseline in CTP, MELD and mDF scores at 1 and 3-months between the 3 groups. Treatment was well tolerated with no severe adverse events or treatment related discontinuations. Conclusion: G-CSF with or without NAC mobilized CD34+ cells on day 6. However, there was no survival benefit or improvement in disease severity scores with the use of G-CSF with or without NAC in patients with severe AH. Hence, we have decided to terminate the trial prematurely.
Effects and contrasts of silicon-on-insulator floating-body and body-contacted field-effect transistors to the design of high-performance antenna switches

A theoretical analysis and contrast of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) floating-body (FB) and body-contacted (BC) metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (FETs) including insertion loss (IL), isolation, power handling capability as well as harmonics for radio frequency switches applications, are firstly developed in detail. From the presented investigation, lower IL and smaller chip size can be obtained using FB FETs, while the BC devices are beneficial to isolation and harmonics improvement. As an experimental vehicle for the presented analysis, the high-power single-pole eight-throw (SP8T) antenna switches for multi-mode multi-band applications, are fabricated in a partially depleted 0.18 μm SOI process based on FB and BC FETs, respectively. At 1.9 GHz, the tested IL, TR × 1 to TR × 3 isolation, and P −0.1 dB of the FB and BC SP8T switches are approximately 0.53/0.65 dB, 27.6/29.3 dB and 38.0/38.4 dBm. For the two cases, the second and third harmonics are −70.6/−75.5 and −60.4/−79.9 dBc, respectively, with a +33 dBm input power at 1.9 GHz. The experimental results strongly support the analysis that the FB FET is a preferred device in low loss or low throw-count switching design while the BC FET is a better selection in the applications that demand high power and low harmonic.
