The discursive construction of teachers and implications for continuing professional development
Authors: Nair Ramesh , Arshad Roshayani
Published: June 2018

The Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 is a document that spells out a plan of action for revamping the Malaysian education system. Therefore, it is no surprise that references are made to teachers and their role in ensuring the successful execution of the action plan. Although the blueprint does not set out a course of action for teachers of individual subjects, specific reference is made to English language teachers and this is ideologically significant. In order to understand this significance and how the blueprint positions Malaysian English language teachers, the document needs to be located within the wider discourse community, vis-à-vis through an intertextual reading. In this paper, we first examine the discursive construction of English language teachers in the blueprint as well as media texts to illustrate how these texts have collectively constructed the identity of Malaysian English language teachers. Next, we argue that this discursive construction of Malaysian English language teachers has had consequences for the way continuing professional development programmes have been organised for them in the first of three waves of the Malaysian Education Blueprint action plan from 2013 to 2015. The findings reveal that continuing professional development programmes during this period have focused predominantly on the training of the discursively constructed inept Malaysian English language teacher to ensure they possess the desired proficiency and are able to make changes to existing classroom practices that are aligned with the government agenda.
Cooperative learning in peer teaching: A case study in an EFL context
Authors: Sunggingwati Dyah
Published: June 2018

It is significant to prepare pre-service teachers do to teaching practicum as they will teach English at secondary schools. One of the preparations is peer teaching during teacher education program. This study is intended to explore students’ experiences during the peer teaching in a cooperative learning style. One class of 26 students of English Education Department of a state university in East Borneo, Indonesia, participated in this study. They were randomly assigned in the group of four and eight, and each group member should practice peer teaching in their own group. Using a case study design, the findings have shown the potency of cooperative learning. The students had positive experiences the cooperative style of four-group, eight-group, and the whole class. The four- and eight- group formats in the peer teaching provide students more opportunities to have better teaching preparation, mastery of the teaching materials, more interaction with peers, to develop confidence, and to learn from others. They encountered some difficulties such as attracting peers’ attention, time for peer teaching, less serious peers, and more preparation. The findings suggest that it would be more valuable for students to be in more group formats with more time that would give students more confident when they teach for the whole class. Implication and suggestion are further discussed.
A Polyphonic Story of Urban Densification
Authors: Wallin Antti , Leino Helena , Jokinen Ari , Laine Markus , Tuomisaari Johanna , Bäcklund Pia
Published: June 2018

Urban strategies, representing stories of possible futures, often intervene in already established local communities and therefore call for a considerate urban intervention. This article utilises the ideas of Henri Lefebvre’s socially produced space and of literature on stories involved in planning. Our empirical example tells a story of urban densification aspirations for an inner-city neighbourhood in Tampere, Finland. By combining the interviews of local people and planners with policy documents, we argue that planners’ stories pay too little attention to the place and to local stories. Planners’ abstract visions of the future and local stories building on lived experiences both draw meanings from the same place but have very different intentions. In our case, the consultation of the project started out wrong because the planners neglected a neighbourhood thick in symbolic meanings and the local stories’ power in resistance. By understanding the place as polyphonic in its foundation, planners could learn about the symbolic elements and reasons for people’s place attachment, and thus end up re-writing the place together. Urban interventions such as urban densification should connect to the place as part of its polyphonic historical continuum and acknowledge the residents’ place attachments.
Lefebvre’s Politics of Space: Planning the Urban as Oeuvre
Authors: Zieleniec Andrzej
Published: June 2018

Henri Lefebvre’s project, developed over decades of research produced a corpus of work that sought to reprioritise the fundamental role of space in the experience and practice of social life. His assertion that there is ‘politics of space’ provides a challenge to the planning and design of the built environment by emphasising the need to understand the complex of elements involved in ‘the production of space’. Lefebvre’s approach and his ‘cry and demand’ for a ‘right to the city’ reflects the fundamental focus and importance he imparts to the practices, meanings and values associated with the inhabitation and use of the social spaces of everyday life. It will be argued that planning and design theory and practice should seek to address more fully and incorporate Lefebvre’s spatial theory as a means to reinvigorate and regenerate the urban as a lived environment, as an oeuvre, as opportunity for inhabitation, festival and play and not merely as a functional habitat impelled by the needs of power and capital.
Toponímia e geografia cultural: tecendo fios de investigações no âmbito da interdisciplinaridade / Toponymy and Cultural Geography: weaving threads of investigation within the scope of interdisciplinarity
Authors: Nascimento Rodrigo Vieira do , Andrade Karylleila Santos , Pereira Carolina Machado Rocha Busch
Published: June 2018

Resumo: A Toponímia é o estudo dos nomes de lugares; baseia-se, entre outros aspectos, na etimologia e nos dados semânticos dos nomes próprios de lugares (elementos físicos e humanos), ao passo que a Geografia Cultural apropria-se das manifestações culturais advindas de um lugar, assim como as crenças, danças, mitos e lendas. Este estudo busca investigar os pontos de interlocução entre Toponímia e Geografia Cultural, considerando que se revelam interdependentes mas, ao mesmo tempo, entrelaçadas na mesma trama no que se refere à amplitude de seus fios de conteúdo interdisciplinar. Assumimos a noção de interdisciplinaridade como o paradigma investigativo. A abordagem de análise metodológica é qualitativa e de caráter bibliográfico. Para realizar esta discussão, serviram de suporte teórico-metodológico os trabalhos de Dick (1990, 1999, 2006, 2007, 2008) e Andrade (2012, 2015, 2017) no campo da Toponímia, e os estudos de Claval (2001, 2002, 2011), Tuan (1979), Corrêa (2009) e Holzer (1999, 2003) no campo da Geografia Cultural.Palavras-Chaves: toponímia; geografia cultural; interdisciplinaridade.Abstract: Toponymy is the study of place names; it is based, among other aspects, on the etymology and semantic data of proper names of places (physical and human features), whereas Cultural Geography studies the cultural manifestations occurred in a particular place such as beliefs, dances, myths and tales. This study aims to investigate dialogue points between Toponymy and Cultural Geography, considering the fact that they reveal themselves as interdependent and, at the same time, intertwined in the same weft, as regards the range of their threads of interdisciplinary content. We assume the notion of interdisciplinarity as the investigative paradigm. The approach of the methodology analysis is qualitative and of bibliographic nature. This discussion was supported theoretically and methodologically by Dick (1990, 1999, 2006, 2007, 2008) and Andrade (2012, 2015, 2017) in the Toponymy field, and by Claval (2001, 2002, 2011), Tuan (1979), Correa (2009) and Holzer (1999, 2003) in the Cultural Geography field.Keywords: toponymy; cultural geography; interdisciplinarity.
Estratigrafia linguística da hidrotoponímia de Portugal continental / Linguistic Stratigraphy of Mainland Portugal’s Hydrotoponymy
Authors: Rocha Carlos
Published: June 2018

Resumo: O tema do presente artigo insere-se na história da onomástica portuguesa, mais precisamente, na etimologia dos hidrotopónimos de Portugal continental. Com a finalidade de contribuir criticamente para a recuperação da etimologia como disciplina mais atuante no contexto dos domínios da História da Língua e da Linguística Histórica, retoma-se uma linha de investigação que remonta aos trabalhos desenvolvidos em Portugal por José Leite de Vasconcelos, Joaquim da Silveira, Pedro Cunha Serra, Domingos Moreira, Joseph-Maria Piel, José Pedro Machado, Armando de Almeida Fernandes, entre outros. Igualmente consideradas são as propostas de Hans Krahe, Edelmiro Bascuas, Federico Corriente e Eduardo Viaro. São objectivos do artigo definir os limites do inquérito linguístico na análise etimológica dos hidrotopónimos de Portugal continental; e enquadrar na discussão da estratigrafia linguística a caracterização nacional e regional do hidrotopónimos. Conclui-se que a hidrotoponímia de Portugal continental tem origem maioritária em itens do léxico comum latino-romance, embora guarde globalmente um importante património pré-latino. A sul do sistema montanhoso Montejunto-Estrela, torna-se significativa a interferência lexical, morfológica e fonológica do árabe, tal como acontece em grande parte da toponímia das regiões meridionais portuguesas.Palavras-chave: toponímia; etimologia; hidrotopónimo; estrato; história do português. Abstract: The topic of this thesis concerns the diachronic aspects of Portuguese onomastics, namely those regarding the etymology of a subset of Portuguese hydrotoponyms. Arguing that Etymology is still relevant as a field of research to Historical Linguistics and the History of the Portuguese Language, the discussion draws on studies carried out in Portugal by scholars such as Leite de Vasconcelos, Joaquim da Silveira, Pedro Cunha Serra, Domingos Moreira, Joseph-Maria Piel, José Pedro Machado, Armando de Almeida Fernandes, among others. The work of Hans Krahe, Edelmiro Bascuas, Federico Corriente ou Eduardo Viaro is also considered. The article pursues two goals: to draw the linguistic boundaries of the etymological inquiry on a selection of mainland Portugal’s hydrotoponyms; and to describe and discuss the national and regional distribution of each linguistic stratum in the Portuguese hydrotoponymic context. Its conclusions point out that most itens have Latin-Romance origins, although a significant number of pre-Latin names is also preserved. South of Montejunto-Estrela mountain system, the contact with Arabic has left many lexical, morphological and phonological traces, as is typical of the Portuguese southern regions.Keywords: toponymy; etimology; hydrotoponym; stratum; history of Portuguese.
Between Languages and Cultures: an Exploratory Comparative Study of Usage of Lithuanian and Brazilian Masculine Anthroponyms / Entre línguas e culturas: um estudo exploratório sobre os usos de antropônimos masculinos lituanos e brasileiros
Authors: Seide Márcia Sipavicius , Petrulione Lolita
Published: June 2018

Abstract: The article aims at better understanding the usage of Lithuanian and Brazilian masculine first names by means of an exploratory comparative study based on statistical sources from national institutional websites of Lithuania and Brazil. Even though the two countries are rather different in terms of geography, number of population and official languages, there are some overlapping points along their history which suggest that the repertoire of names, particularly masculine ones, may have some similarities. The research results have confirmed the existence of equivalent names in both countries. These names are Christian names and their usage is influenced by Catholicism, a dominating religion in both countries. However, there is no evidence that names in different languages, that are equivalent in form and origin, should also have equivalent connotations.Keywords: Onomastics; Anthroponomy; Comparative Anthroponomastics.Resumo: Este artigo objetiva compreender melhor os usos de prenomes masculinos na Lituânia e no Brasil mediante um estudo exploratório comparativo baseado em dados estatísticos disponíveis em sites institucionais de cada país. Apesar das diferenças geográficas, populacionais, e linguísticas existentes, há pontos de contato ao longo da História desses países o que sugere a possibilidade de haver alguma convergência nos repertórios de nomes de pessoas utilizados, especialmente no que tange os nomes masculinos. Os resultados da pesquisa confirmaram a existência de nomes equivalentes em ambos os países. São nomes cristãos cujo uso foi influenciado pelo Catolicismo, religião predominante nos dois países. Contudo, não há evidência de que nomes em línguas diferentes que se equivalem formalmente e do ponto de vista de sua origem, também apresentem conotações equivalentes.Palavras-chave: Onomástica; Antroponímia; Antroponomástica Comparada.

Die frühe Sportpolitik des portugiesischen Estado Novo im Spiegel der Vereinspresse
Authors: Weissmann Thomas
Published: June 2018

The article aims to analyse how the publications of several Lisbon sports clubs responded to an order by several decrees to align the formerly independent sports structures with the regulatory and ideological framework of the portuguese dictatorship in the early 1940s. While abiding to state requirements demanding that sports clubs cooperate in the education of the Portuguese population, the newspapers implemented a strategy which turned these originally restricting demands to their favour. Arguing that the clubs could better contribute to society with less taxation, and integrating such arguments in a nationalistic narrative sucessfully helped the clubs gain more political leeway in the late 1940s and in the 1950s.

O futebol e as ditaduras nos tempos do Condor
Authors: Sarmento Pantoja Augusto
Published: June 2018

O presente estudo propõe analisar o filme Memórias do Chumbo: o futebol nos tempos do Condor, de Lúcio de Castro, articula o terrorismo de estado às ditaduras no Brasil, Uruguai, Argentina e Chile, associando-os a algumas representações do controle estatal no futebol. Observamos nelas como os mecanismos de silenciamento da violência e do terror são evidenciados. Articularemos as investidas das ditaduras contra suas seleções de futebol e as diversas intervenções sobre esse esporte para desviar os olhares para o futebol, deixando livres ou minimizando as atenções sobre as ações terroristas da ditadura. Teremos tanto no Brasil, quanto na Argentina, um alto investimento por parte da ditadura para que o Brasil se sagrasse campeão de 1970 e que a Argentina sediasse e fosse campeã do mundial de 1978. Buscamos compreender, nesse estudo, o papel da ditadura brasileira como a fomentadora dos demais regimes, colaborando com os países do Cone Sul por meio da Operação Condor.

Principles of Controlling the Apparatus Function in Super-Resolution Problem
Authors: Terentiev Evgeni Nikolaevich
Published: June 2018

When controlling the Apparatus Function (AF), the size of definition domain of the AF O and the sampling step and conditionality of the AF must be chosen so that its inverse function pR=pО-1 obtains a minimum norm. The compensation of the AF O distortions in the measured images is realized point-by-point (without using the Fourier Transform in convolution). The computer of the device uses the resolving function pR, selected by the controlling procedure, for achieving super-resolution in images. Such controlled super-resolution is demonstrated on the Martian images.
Barrel temperature control for quality of thermoplastic polymers in the extrusion process
Authors: Mayda Murat
Published: June 2018

In this paper, the design procedure; modeling and controller design, testing are presented. Extensive tests have shown that the system reacts rapidly to changes in the operating conditions and effectively rejects disturbances due to unexpected changes in the quality of the material. This paper is the design and experimental testing of a feedback control system for the regulation of the volumetric ﬂow in a polymer single screw extruder. Extruder temperature control is a challenging control problem. The problem becomes even more challenging when multiple barrel are included, such as in barrel temperature control for extruders. When characteristics of the system are examined, it becomes clear that a commonly used proportional plus compound plus derivative PID controller cannot meet such performance speciﬁcations for this kind of system. In order to achieve the required performance, a control strategy that utilizes techniques such as model predictive control, autotuning, and multiple parameter PID is formulated. This control strategy proves to be very effective in achieving the desired speciﬁcations.

Cooling Rate, Hardness and Microstructure of Aluminum Cast Alloys
Authors: Akhyar Hasan
Published: June 2018

This experiment investigated the cooling curve behavior, hardness and microstructure of two aluminum alloys produced by casting process. There are Al-1.37Zn-1.19Si and Al-1.66Si-1.35Zn derived from melting and alloying a pure aluminum with ADC12 (Al-Si) ingot. Cooling curve recorded from both those two alloys with pouring temperature at 710 oC and the mold temperature kept constant at 220 oC. The result shows, a freezing range of Al-1.37Zn-1.19Si alloy is 643–348 oC and Al-1.66Si-1.35Zn alloy is 621–401 oC. Then cooling rate obtained for Al-1.37Zn-1.19Si is 55.56 oC/S, and Al-1.66Si-1.35Zn is 30.09 oC/S. TThe higher hardness is 40.42 BHN at Al 1.66 Si-1.35Zn, while the lower value is 34.62 BHN on Al-1,37Zn-1,19Si alloy. The hardness value found higher when cooling rate is shorted. The number of silicon present on microstructure is highest in Al-1.37Zn-1.19Si alloy but the hardness value decreases. This is caused by the distribution of the silicon content in the alloy is irregular. It was found that the solidification rate had an effect on hardness, where the freezing rate obtained a high hardness value.

Purpose. Evaluate surface treatments and silane application methods and their effect on shear bond strength (SBS) before and after aging. Materials and methods. Slices of IPS e.max CAD and Vitablocs Mark II, were embedded in acrylic resin. The block was randomly assigned to 5 groups; E:etching with hydrofluoric acid (HF), rinsing, followed by cleaning in ultrasonic bath; E/S:HFetching and cleaned as group E followed by silane application for 20s, air drying and hot drying; E/S+:HFetching and cleaned as group E, followed by silane application for 60s, air drying and hot air drying, rinsing with boiling water and hot air drying; S:silane application for 20s followed by air drying and hot air drying; S+:silane application for 60s followed by air drying, air drying and hot air drying, rinsing in boiling water and hot drying. Cylinders of composite resin (n=12) were bonded with adhesive. SBS testing was carried out after 24h or after thermocycling for groups E; E/S and E/S+. Results. For 24h SBS showed significantly higher mean bond strength with E/S, for both ceramic, compared to E and E/S+. The use of silane alone showed significantly lower mean bond strength. No significant differences were found between E/S and E/S+ for VITA. The SBS was negatively affected by simulated aging in E/S group and positively in E/S+. Conclusions. The association of HFetching and a heat-dried silane showed to be significant to obtain a high SBS. Furthermore, the optimized silane application is not relevant to the immediate SBS while it enhances after aging.

Published: June 2018

In today's society, the speed of industrialization is accelerating, and communications between cities are becoming frequent and closer. It is fast and convenient to promote these rapid developments. Traditional transportation usually are fueled by oil which is burning non-renewable, and fuel that cannot be completely burned. Normally, they will be mainly released into the air in the form of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, so fuel trucks bring serious energy and pollution to human’s environment. Therefore, according to the current development situation, this development trend is clearly inconsistent with the laws of human survival, so every country has to develop and improve their green environment. In recent years, some developed countries the electric car to protect the human living environment. The electric car is mainly use the power that stored in the battery stored as a power source to reduce the toxic gas emissions to the air. It can save the oil energy at the same time, so the battery charge is very important. This paper is based on DSP to design an electric vehicle charging power system, charging the battery, mainly for the current development of the status quo, designed clean and environmentally friendly car charging power. From the view of the above problems, this design is based on DSP to design an electric vehicle charging power system, through the DSP event manager to generate PWM control signal to drive thyristor, and then through the power electronics technology, AC-DC conversion DC power supply, and finally to Battery power supply, complete the design. Therefore, this article mainly from the following aspects: (1) DSP is applied in this design.

Published: June 2018

Lichen striatus is a rare inflammatory dermatosis that
influences mostly children, being rare reports in adults. The pathogenesis is
unknown. In addition, lichen striatus is demonstrated as T-cell mediated
inflammatory cutaneous disease. It is characterized by linear tendency, usually
on the extremities. Its most typical property is the linear arrangement of
slightly raised, lichenoid papules. A 28-year-old woman presented with a
3-month history of an asymptomatic linear erythematous violaceous papular
lesions on her left abdominal area. Skin biopsy was performed in terms of
differential diagnosis from other linear distributions of inflammatory
dermatoses. Histopathological examination revealed hyperkeratosis, acanthosis,
focal parakeratosis, exocytosis, subbasal dissociation of an area, vacuolar
degeneration of the basal membrane, perivascular and lichenoid lymphocytic
infiltration. As a result, our case was diagnosed as lichen striatus,
clinically and histologically. Topical pimecrolimus ointment twice a day
therapy was preferred in the patient.
Effect of Utility Deregulation and Mergers on Consumer Welfare
Authors: Sonenshine Ralph
Published: June 2018

In the late 1990s, many U.S. states deregulated electric utilities, allowing for competition among power generators.   Deregulated states then adopted retail choice programs, allowing customers to choose their power provider.  In addition, a significant merger wave among large utilities ensued.  How did these events impact consumer welfare? This study examines the effects of utility deregulation and mergers, by analyzing electricity price and output changes among deregulated and regulated states.  I find that deregulation may have had a positive effect when states adopted certain measures, such as retail choice or fuel changes, that enhanced competition and lowered costs.  Mergers also affected consumer welfare, with differential impacts found between the merger of generation firms versus the merger of generation and transmission companies.

This paper explores the effects of changes in crude oil and gold prices on US Stock market movement. Daily data are used from the first business day of January, 1986 through December30, 2016. Efficient unit root tests (DF-GLS and Ng-Perron) are applied to examine the time series property of the variables in terms of stationarity or non-stationarity.  ARDL Bounds Testing is applied for co-integration. Both DF-GLS and Ng-Perron tests confirm non-stationarity of each variable and depict I (1) behavior of all the variables in log-levels, included in this study. The ARDL-Bounds testing confirm co-integration among the variables. There is evidence of long-run convergence among all these variables with very tepid adjustment toward the equilibrium. Short-run negative effects of changes in gold and crude oil prices on US stock market returns are observed. The effect is statistically significant from gold price changes, but insignificant from crude oil price changes.
Demographic Dynamics, Savings, Investment and Current Account
Authors: Rusek Antonin
Published: June 2018

The upturn in the world economy brought with it the renewed attention to the issues of current account imbalances. Whereas large part of it is political, the issue still attracts some economic attention. In this paper the empirical side of the current account dynamics is addressed. We enquire of the relationships between the current account and savings dynamics, with the emphasis on the role of the “high savings” demographic cohorts (the population and/or labor force between 40 and 64). With the emphasis on the EUs “large” countries, we conclude that there is a significant role of this “high saving” population group in determining the current account dynamics for the consistent “high” surpluses countries of Germany and Netherlands.

The role of this population group is, however, rejected for France, Italy and Spain. In those countries the current account dynamics is dominated by (seemingly unexpected) liberalization of capital flows and the subsequent need for stabilization policies.  Similarly, the dominant role of the demographic dynamic is rejected for the comparison, floating exchange rate countries of USA and Japan.

In the process of promoting modern hospital management system, the two basic issues repeatedly thought and constantly researched are: what kind of modern hospital management system will be established and how to establish modern hospital management system. Seen from current status, modern hospital management system is arranged by public hospital system making modern hospital and management system match socialist market economic system, meanwhile, modern hospital management mode is also the target mode Chinese public hospitals constantly reform. Three comparatively outstanding features and requirements of modern hospital management are systematic power release, effective governance and scientific management. The features can be specified, that is to say, in the aspect of organization form, modern hospital management system belongs to one special public legal person system, power release of systematism is made by this system; From the aspect of system equipment, modern hospital management system includes one series of interrelated governance mechanism to conduct effective governance; From the aspect of management behavior, modern hospital management system means scientific, refined and professional management of public hospitals to realize the feature of scientific management.

A creatina (Cr) é objeto de estudo de grande interesse na comunidade científica do esporte e do exercício. Seus efeitos ergogênicos têm despertado curiosidade entre os pesquisadores pelo fato de um grande numero de estudos apontarem efeitos positivos para aquisição de força e massa muscular Apesar do seu uso ser explorado amplamente pelos atletas e praticantes de atividade física, resultados promissores vem clareando sua utilização na área clínica como uma potente substancia terapêutica em distúrbios neuromusculares, neurológicos, cardiovasculares e ainda como anticarcinogênico. Estudos realizados em nosso laboratório sinalizaram a possibilidade da creatina monohidratada (CrH2O) estar atuando como um antioxidante, após a realização de um treinamento de força (hipertrofia), durante 8 semanas.
Cultura corporal e pensamento social brasileiro: modelo contemporâneo e dialéticas
Authors: Merlo Thiago Elias , Tavares Sérgio Ferreira
Published: June 2018

A cultura corporal e o pensamento social brasileiro têm paradigmas pertinentes. Ambos se norteiam nas particularidades da sociedade e nos acontecimentos históricos e contemporâneos. Este ensaio reflete sobre estes acontecimentos (espontâneos na maioria dos casos) através da ótica da cultura brasileira, especialmente da cultura corporal. João Paulo Subirá Medina é um dos autores que oferece modos peculiares de transcender o pensamento superficial de cultura corporal, para que se construa a criticidade tão necessária para o entendimento das questões sociais. Utilizando a mecânica de compressão de Medina, avaliaremos as dialéticas da cultura corporal contemporânea e os principais autores que compõem o pensamento social brasileiro: Gilberto Freyre, Roberto DaMatta, Sérgio Buarque de Holanda e Jessé Souza.
O judô brasileiro, o desempenho, e as mídias: caso das olimpíadas de Atenas 2004 e o mundial do Cairo de 2005

Published: June 2018

O Judô é um desporto Olímpico que, tradicionalmente, traz medalhas neste evento para o Brasil. Através de uma análise de documentos sobre a produção das mídias, internet e transmissões da televisão durante os eventos: 1) Olimpíadas 2004 e 2) Mundial de Judô 2005, buscou-se compreender: a) o quanto é representativa a participação brasileira em relação ao total de medalhas distribuídas nestes eventos e, b) o comportamento das mídias em relação à participação dos atletas brasileiros. Pode-se considerar que, apesar das medalhas conquistadas, há pouca evolução no desempenho da delegação brasileira e exageros por parte da “falação Midiática”. Palavras-Chave:

Mathematical Modeling of Rogue Waves: A Survey of Recent and Emerging Mathematical Methods and Solutions
Authors: Manzetti Sergio
Published: June 2018

Anomalous waves and rogue events are closely associated with irregularities and unexpected events occurring at various levels of physics, such as in optics, in oceans and in the atmosphere. Mathematical modeling of rogue waves is a highly actual field of research, which has evolved over the last decades into a specialized part of mathematical physics. The applications of the mathematical models for rogue events is directly relevant to technology development for prediction of rogue ocean waves, and for signal processing in quantum units. In this survey, a comprehensive perspective of the most recent developments in methods for representing rogue waves is given, along with discussion of the devised and forms and solutions. The standard nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the Hirota equation, the MMT equation and further to other models are discussed, and their properties highlighted. This survey shows that the most recent advancement in modeling rogue waves give models which can be used to establish methods for prediction of rogue waves at open seas, which is important for the safety and activity of marine vessels and installations. The study further puts emphasis on the difference between the methods, and how the resulting models form a basis for representing rogue waves in various forms, solitary or with a wave-background. This review has also a pedagogic component directed towards students and interested non-experts, and forms a complete survey of the most conventional and emerging methods published until recently
