Excavations at Burnhouse Moor, Clydesdale, 1985
Authors: Ross Lindsay
Published: February 2011

Summary

The ring enclosure at Burnhouse Moor lies at the 300m contour on a small hill just SW of Tinto Hill near Biggar (Fig 1). It was excavated prior to the afforestation of the area. Before excavation the site appeared as a 2m wide bank with no breaks apart from a modern sheep track. The bank enclosed a circular area 8m in diameter. A slight depression or halo was just visible around the outer edge of the bank. One quarter of the interior was excavated with extension trenches to S and E sectioning both bank and the external depression. Four pits were dug outside the excavated area to examine the soil profiles across the hillside. In places these showed tilled soil, while others showed a build up of peat.
The Advantages and Drawbacks of Cardbox-Plus as a Means of Analysing Aberdeen University Students in the Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries
Authors: Harper Marjory
Published: February 2011

For almost three years work has been proceeding, intermittently, on the compilation and analysis of a database of Aberdeen University students in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The purpose of the project is threefold: to create a detailed and accessible database of information about the student body, which can then be analysed in order to detect trends in academic patterns, and in geographical and social mobility; to provide instant and comprehensive biographical information on individual students; and to assist the researches of scholars who are preparing publications on various aspects of University life for the University's quincentenary in 1995. Using Cardbox-Plus, five separate faculty versions of the database have been created, and in each case data are entered in up to fifty-two fields, grouped under three broad categories - biographical and background information, university life, and subsequent career. This paper examines the advantages and limitations of Cardbox-Plus as a means of analysing voluminous, mainly textual, information on the origins and experiences of the 6,471 students entered to date.
History and Computing: Some Reflections on the Achievements of the Past Decade.
Authors: Speck W. A.
Published: February 2011

Since the symposium held atHull Universityin December 1983 there have been considerable advances for historians enthusiastic about the application of computers to their teaching and research. The inauguration of the A. H. C, an indirect development from the Hull meeting, was itself a milestone. The Association has acted as a forum for the exchange of ideas and information about courseware andresearch tools such as databases and bibliographies.

However, while this has consolidated the activities of those who wouldhave been enthusiasts about the new technology anyway, there is little evidence that it has converted many traditional historians to their cause. The profession has become divided into two distinct groups: a minoritywhich subscribes to thisjournaland attends A. H. C. conferences; and the majority which remains resistant to the computation ofhistorical evidence.

Changes in higher education which are making increasing demands on time andits efficient use offer anopportunity for further progress, since computation could provide some solutions to the problems faced byprofessional historians. The launching of the TLTP History consortium gives the enthusiasts an unprecedented chance to convert their sceptical colleagues. The next decade could therefore see the Association making an even greater impact than the past ten years.

Computer Applications in Comparative History: The Master & Servant Project at York University (Canada)
Authors: Craven Paul
Published: February 2011

The Master and Servant Project at York University (Toronto) analyses employment laws torn a hundred Britishjurisdictionsoverfourcenturies, examiningthe lexical relationships among many hundreds of statutes, and seeking explanations for the clustering of particular legal provisions in particular parts of the imperial economy. The complexity, redundancy, and sheer bulk of the material invited computer analysis. Commercial database software (askSam) documents the paper archive; analysis reUes largely on programmes developed in the project and on TACT, a text retrievalpackage from the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, University of Toronto. Lexical content is approached with programmes that calculate the overlap oflanguage among sentences across the whole archive; high scores identify candidate terms for detailed examination in TACT. Analysis of the policy of the acts (independent of their lexical form) relies on coded versions of the statutes, created with a coding engine that minimizes errors. A conceptual clustering programme, in which the computer repeatedly sorts the coded versions according to subsets ofcharacteristics, groups the statutes into unambiguous sets with common features. The techniques described are applicable wherever the language or conceptual content oflarge numbers oftexts needs to be compared in detail.
Classifying the Past: Discriminant Analysis and its Application to Medieval Farming Systems
Authors: Bartley Ken
Published: February 2011

This paper discusses the need for nationally based analytical models of the medieval period. The use of cluster analysis as a method for classifying demesne farms, by the crops they grew and their livestock management, is explained. Successful implementation of cluster analysis requires both the existence of a large base sample, to permit isolation of specific groupings within the data, and access to considerable processing time. The paper concludes by demonstrating how discriminant analysis can provide an efficient and systematic way of classifying even a single manor within a national frame of reference.
Historical Height Samples with Shortfall: A Computational Approach
Authors: Heintel Markus
Published: February 2011

Research in economic history frequently uses human height as a proxy for net nutrition. This anthropometric method enables historians to measure time trends and differences in nutritional status. However, the most widely used data sources for historical heights, military mustering registers, cannot be regarded as random samples of the underlying population. The lower side of the otherwise normal distribution is eroded by a phenomenon called shortfall, because shorter individuals are under-represented below a certain threshold (truncation point).

This paper reviews two widely used methods for analyzing historical height samples with shortfall -the Quantile Bend Estimator (QBE) and the Reduced Sample Maximum Likelihood Estimator (RSMLE). Because of the drawbacks of these procedures, a new computational approach for identifying the truncation point of height samples with shortfall, using density estimation techniques, is proposed and illustrated on an Austrian dataset. Finally, this procedure, combined with a truncated regression model, is compared to the QBE to estimate the mean and the standard deviation. The results demonstrate the deficiencies of the QBE again and cast a good light on the new method.

Authors: Khan A. U. , Khan M. R. , Shah S. Q.
Published: February 2011

Aim: The radiosynthesis of 99mTc-Prulifloxacin (99mTc-PRN) was assessed in terms of stability, binding with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), biodistribution in rats (RT) and scintigraphic profile in rabbits (RB). Animals, material, methods: 99mTc-PRN was synthesized by mixing 25 μg of stannous fluoride (SnF2) with 18.5 MB of sodium pertechnetate. Thereafter, 0.5 mg of the prufloxacin (PRN) was added to the reaction mixture and the pH was set at 5.1 with 0.01 mol/l HCl. The reaction mixture was incubated at room temperature. The same process was repeated by increasing the concentration of the stannous fluoride from 25 to 250 μg, sodium pertechnetate from 18,5 to 185 MBq and the PRN from 0.5 to 5 mg. The radiochemical stability of the 99mTc-PRN was investigated in higher concentration of the cystein. In-vitro binding investigation was performed using living and heat killed S. aureus to verify specificity of the 99mTc-PRN. Biodistribution was evaluated in artificially infected rats and scintigraphic precision in rabbits at different interval. Results: The 99mTc-RPN prepared by mixing 2 mg of PRN, 74 MBq sodium pertechnetate, 100 μg stannous fluoride at pH 5.4, appeared to be more than 90% stable with a maximum radiochemical yield of 98.15 ± 0.25% at 30 min. The 99mTc-PRN showed higher stability in serum and satisfactory in-vitro binding to living as compared to heat killed S. aureus. 14.25 ± 0.15% of the injected dose was accumulated in the infected muscle of the model RT. Infected to normal muscle ratio was 5.12 and inflamed to normal muscle was 1.2. The biodistribution was validated by the scintigraphic localization of infection in rabbits. Conclusion: This investigation of 99mTc-PRN confirmed its momentous radiochemical immovability in saline, serum, preferential in-vitro binding to living bacteria, higher uptake in the infected muscle of model RT and precise localization in the infected muscle of model RB.
Image, texte et stratégies rhétoriques dans la publicité d’image d’une marque
Authors: Fries-Verdeil Marie-Hélène
Published: February 2011

Le but de cet article est d’explorer les relations entre le texte et son illustration dans la publicité d’image de marque pour Texaco, à partir de quatre encarts publiés dans le magazine de vulgarisation Discover en 1999. Deux de ces publicités sont fondées sur une métaphore et l’image illustre le texte métonymiquement dans les deux autres. Un questionnaire, rempli par 91 étudiants des universités grenobloises, permet de mettre en lumière l’importance de la fonction relais dans ces quatre publicités. Seule une minorité, même parmi les géologues, a pu déterminer le sujet des publicités en se fondant uniquement sur les images. Il semble y avoir là une stratégie rhétorique délibérée. L’attention du lecteur potentiel est attirée par des images qui l’intriguent et le tentent de lire le texte publicitaire pour comprendre, sans savoir encore qui est l’annonceur. Cette tactique du cheval de Troie augmente les chances de Texaco de nous prouver leur efficacité en matière de protection de l’environnement, en nous prenant sans a priori ni esprit critique.

A Thermal Study of Al-Pillared Montmorillonites
Authors: Xu Hong Yan , Chen Xing Tong
Published: February 2011

Al-pillared montmorillonites (Al-MMT) were synthesized from naturally occurring sodium montmorillonite through exchange of interlamellar ions with hydroxyalumina polycations. Furthermore, Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformation infra-red spectra (FTIR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were applied in order to study the themal stability, hydrothermal stability and synthesis mechanisms of pillared materials. The Al-MMT are thermally stable and hydrothermal stability up to700°C. X-ray diffractograms of Al-MMT calcined at 700 0C show a sharp and intense d001 peak, corresponding to a basal spacing of 1.66nm. Until calcinations at 8000C, the pillared clays generally retain their structural ordering as evidenced by a broad basal (001) peak, which is an indication that the layer structure lost some long-range ordering. In a 100% steam flow under atmospheric pressure at 7000C, the characteristic d001 spacing of Al-MMT decreases from 1.83nm to 1.71nm, intensity of basal peak reduced by58%. However, after hydrothermal at 8000C, the basal (001) peak is not observed, indicating a complete structural collapse. Synthesis mechanisms for Al-MMT are established. Some of tetrahedral silicons or aluminums inverse towards gallery to react with pillaring agents and yield Alp-O-AlsⅣ or Alp-O-Sis bridges which would firmly fix the pillars to the host clay.

Image fusion is the important branch and research focus of intelligence fusion and it has been well applied in many areas such as military, remote sensing, robotics as well as intelligent transportation. This paper applies the time-frequency localization as well as directional characteristics of wavelet transform and conducts sub-tree partition on the decomposed high-frequency coefficient to improve the contrast gradient of the image, regarding the sub-tree as a unit. This method is achieved under the VC environment. Finally, the analysis of performance indicators such as simulation experiments, entropy and average gradient shows that the algorithm can effectively reduce the distortion of blending image and it is an effective image fusion algorithm.
Simplified Dynamic Surface Control for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems
Authors: Guo Tao
Published: February 2011

A novel fuzzy adaptive regulation approach is proposed for a class of output-feedback nonlinear systems based on dynamic surface control (DSC). The whole system is needed only one fuzzy approximator, and therefore only one approximator error and one unknown fuzzy parameter vector need to be tackled adaptively, so that the whole controller structure is more simpli ed than the existing result. It is proved that the proposed design approach is able to guarantee semi-global uniform ultimate boundedness (SGUUB) of all signals in the closed-loop system, with arbitrary small error by appropriately choosing design constants.

Authors: Wang Jun , Ma Shuai , Guan Hui
Published: February 2011

The current classical protocol of WSN media access control, uses the sleeping/schedule mechanism to reduce the energy lose on the nodes effectively, but at the same time, it also bring time delay problem, and when the system overloaded, it works with low efficient and high time-delay. In this article, we optimize the protocol from two sides: firstly, according to the size of the node load to setting priority, so that the overload node can get the channel firstly, thereby this way advances the throughput of the system. Secondly, in order to reduce the time competition in the channel, we assembled the short data frame, which will be sent to the same address, and use the burst transmission manner, thereby reduce the holistic time-delay in the system. Experimental results show that, when the load of the system is heavy, the improved protocol (OS-MAC) reduces the holistic time-delay and advances the throughput effectively.

An Approach for Detecting Regular Hexagon
Authors: Zhou Zhi Feng
Published: February 2011

Regular hexagon is a kind of common geometric figure. This paper proposes a vision detection method based on geometric characteristics to detect regular hexagon. First, line segments are detected in the image by hough transform. The line equations are constructed according to the detected line segments in the image space. Second, the line equations are utilized to compute the intersection points of adjacent two lines. The lengths of every side of regular hexagon are gotten by computing the distances between adjacent two intersection points. The angles between adjacent lines are calculated. Then the circle detection method based hough transform is employed to inspect whether all intersection points locate at the same circumference. Finally, the detection experiment of hexagon bolt is constructed to illustrate the performance of the presented method. The measurement errors of angles between adjacent two sides and lengths of sides of regular hexagon are 0.38% and 0.85% respectively. The result shows that the presented method is effective and can precisely detect regular hexagon in the image.

Published: February 2011

Image denoising is one of the classical problems in digital image processing, and has been studied for nearly half a century due to its important role as a pre-processing step in various image applications. In this work, a denoising algorithm based on Kalman filtering was used to improve natural image quality. We have studied noise reduction methods using a hybrid Kalman filter with an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model that the coefficients of the AR models for the Kalman filter are calculated by solving for the minimum square error solutions of over-determined linear systems. Experimental results show that as an adaptive method, the algorithm reduces the noise while retaining the image details much better than conventional algorithms.
