Route identification in the National Football League
Authors: Chu Dani , Reyers Matthew , Thomson James , Wu Lucas Yifan 
Published: December 2019

AbstractTracking data in the National Football League (NFL) is a sequence of spatial-temporal measurements that varies in length depending on the duration of the play. In this paper, we demonstrate how model-based curve clustering of observed player trajectories can be used to identify the routes run by eligible receivers on offensive passing plays. We use a Bernstein polynomial basis function to represent cluster centers, and the Expectation Maximization algorithm to learn the route labels for each of the 33,967 routes run on the 6963 passing plays in the data set. With few assumptions and no pre-existing labels, we are able to closely recreate the standard route tree from our algorithm. We go on to suggest ideas for new potential receiver metrics that account for receiver deployment and movement common throughout the league. The resulting route labels can also be paired with film to enable streamlined queries of game film.
Discovery of a new genus record for Paraguay, the Atlantic Forest endemic rodent Abrawayaomys (Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae)
Authors: de la Sancha Noé U. , Libardi Gustavo S. , Pardiñas Ulyses F.J. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The mammals of Paraguay are still poorly known. We report a new genus for the country, Abrawayaomys, a spiny cricetid rodent endemic for the Interior Atlantic Forest. This record extends the distribution of the genus approximately 100 km, and west of the Paraná River. This addition increases the number of mammals in Paraguay to 184 and verifies that rodents are the most diverse group of mammals in the country. We outline identifying morphological characters of Abrawayaomys and elaborate on the significance of this finding for conservation and biogeography in the region.
Koexistenzfiguren. Zu zwei Texten von Werner Picht und Ernst Simon aus dem Zweiten Jahr der Kreatur
Authors: Erdle Birgit R. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Der Aufsatz beschäftigt sich mit zwei Beiträgen zum zweiten Jahrgang der Zeitschrift “Die Kreatur“ (1927/1928) von Ernst Simon und Werner Picht – mit Pichts „Internationale Verständigung“ und Ernst Simons „Das Werturteil im Geschichtsunterricht“. Wie wäre deren Verhältnis zueinander zu beschreiben – als Dialog? Als Koexistenz? Oder als Aneinandervorbeirede? Im Hintergrund steht dabei die methodische Frage, wieviel Wissen über Kontext und Textgeschichte wir benötigen, um die Zeitschrift “Die Kreatur“ als Projekt und ihre Diskurse in ihrem Interagieren, ihrem intellektuellen Austausch oder ihrer Koexistenz lesen und verstehen zu können.
Real-time dynamics of soliton collision in a bound-state soliton fiber laser

Published: December 2019

Abstract
We experimentally investigated the soliton collisions between soliton molecules and deuterogenic solitons spontaneously generated on the continuous wave (cw) noise background in an ultrafast erbium-doped fiber laser mode locked with MoS2 saturable absorber (SA). The dynamics of the soliton collisions were observed using the time-stretch dispersion Fourier transform technique. The noise-induced deuterogenic solitons first undergo spectral broadening and wavelength shifting, then collide successively with a soliton molecule and eventually vanish. Within the simple collision framework, the spectral-temporal dynamics of soliton collision would help to unveil the self-stabilization mechanism of the soliton molecules in consideration of dispersive wave shedding. This nonlinear dynamics is similar to the soliton rain, except that complex condensed soliton phase is substituted with a soliton molecule.

Abstract
Two-dimensional material tungsten diselenide (WSe2) nanosheets are coated on a microfibre knot resonator (MKR) to achieve an all-optical power modulation functionality. On account of the strong absorption property of WSe2 and the resonance enhancement properties of MKR, the transmitted optical power of signal light within the WSe2-based MKR can be effectively modulated. The sensitivities of light–control–light experiments with 405- and 660-nm lasers are as high as 0.32 and 0.12 dB/mW, respectively. The sensitivities and power tuning can be enhanced by a higher resonance Q and a larger extinction ratio of MKR. In terms of the response time, the average rise and fall times are 3.5/3.7 and 3.5/4 ms with 405- and 660-nm lasers, respectively. This proposed structure is expected to achieve potential applications in all-fibre-optic–based tunable device such as optical modulator, detector, and so on.

Contested and Cemented Borders: Understanding the Implications of Overseas Indian Citizenship
Authors: Kumar-Banerjee Ananya 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Although the Person of Indian Origin (PIO) and Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) schemes have existed for some time, they began to serve a political and economic purpose for the Republic of India with the arrival of the twenty-first century. The OCI status asserts “Indianness” as a legible quality in diasporic memory. It does the work of cementing political Indo-Pakistani and Indo-Bangladeshi borders, while coopting the language of transnationalism to bolster the fundamentally nationalist regime of capitalism at work in the Republic of India. The goal of this regime is to promote a functionally nationalist, and thus, anti-transnational reality. As more generations of South Asians live and grow up abroad, creating a legible “Indianness” functions as a service to the capitalist Indian economy. These individuals abroad are encouraged to identify as diasporic “Indians” who must engage with their “motherland.” Thus, the transnationalist discourse of decreasing territoriality is exploited by the Indian state to serve goals that function in ideological opposition to transnationalism. As this discourse of legible “Indianness” becomes more successful, there will be increasing incentives for the ruling party in India to further privilege OCIs. In the end, the language and capital of the OCIs affirms the powers of capitalism contemporary Indian nation-state.
In-situ X-ray techniques for non-noble electrocatalysts
Authors: Hung Sung-Fu 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Electrocatalysis offers an alternative solution for the energy crisis because it lowers the activation energy of reaction to produce economic fuels more accessible. Non-noble electrocatalysts have shown their capabilities to practical catalytic applications as compared to noble ones, whose scarcity and high price limit the development. However, the puzzling catalytic processes in non-noble electrocatalysts hinder their advancement. In-situ techniques allow us to unveil the mystery of electrocatalysis and boost the catalytic performances. Recently, various in-situ X-ray techniques have been rapidly developed, so that the whole picture of electrocatalysis becomes clear and explicit. In this review, the in-situ X-ray techniques exploring the structural evolution and chemical-state variation during electrocatalysis are summarized for mainly oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR). These approaches include X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The information seized from these in-situ X-ray techniques can effectively decipher the electrocatalysis and thus provide promising strategies for advancing the electrocatalysts. It is expected that this review could be conducive to understanding these in-situ X-ray approaches and, accordingly, the catalytic mechanism to better the electrocatalysis.
Effects of tension fatigue on the structure and properties of carbon black filled-SBR and SBR/TPI blends
Authors: Yang Liu , Liu Kaikai , Gu Zijun , Du Aihua 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the impact of tension fatigue on the structure and properties of filled SBR and SBR/TPI blends. The effect of tension fatigue on the dynamic properties of carbon black-filled styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and SBR/trans-1,4-polyisoprene (SBR/TPI) blend vulcanizates were investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The Mooney-Rivlin analysis of tensile stress-strain data is used for the determination of a rubber network crosslink density. The fatigue fracture surface of SBR/TPI vulcanizates was observed with a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystallinity of TPI in carbon black-filled SBR/TPI (80/20) was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the incorporation of TPI into SBR vulcanizates influences the fatigue properties of the blend vulcanizates. The blend vulcanizates showed optimum fatigue properties with 20 phr TPI. With increasing fatigue cycles, the tensile properties and crosslink density of SBR vulcanizates were decreased substantially. Compared with that of SBR vulcanizates, the tensile properties and crosslink density of SBR/TPI (80/20) blend vulcanizates changed little with the increase in fatigue cycles, and tan δ and E′ decreased gradually with the fatigue cycles. There was a sharp decrease in the E′ and tan δ curve in the temperature range of 40 ~ 60°C. The XRD diffraction peak corresponding to 3.9 Å broadened when the fatigue cycles were increased to 1 million times, and a new peak with inter-planar spacing at 7.6 and 4.7 Å appeared.
Synergistic visible light photoredox catalysis
Authors: Zeitler Kirsten , Neumann Matthias 
Published: December 2019

AbstractWithin the last decade the combination of photoredox catalysis and other catalytic modes of activation has become a powerful tool for organic synthesis to enable transformations that are not possible using single catalyst systems and hence are complementary to traditional methodology. Especially reactions proceeding via synergistic catalysis where co-catalyst and photocatalyst simultaneously and separately activate different reaction partners greatly benefit from the special properties of molecules and transition metal complexes in their excited state being oxidizing and reducing in nature at the same time. Apart from allowing for the generation of radical (open-shell) reactive intermediates by SET under mild conditions from bench-stable, abundant precursors, the photocatalyst often acts to interweave the distinct catalytic cycles by interaction at multiple points of the reaction mechanism to provide overall redox-neutral processes by shuttling electrons within in this complex network of elementary reaction steps. Synergistic strategies moreover may allow to performing such reactions with enantioselectivity, while mostly the selectivity is achieved by the chiral co-catalyst. The merger of photocatalysis has been achieved with a broad range of alternative modes of catalysis including organocatalysis, Brønstedt and Lewis acid and base catalysis, enzyme catalysis as well as in the context of cross-coupling transition metal catalysis overcoming challenging steps in this methodology and therefore has contributed to considerably expand the repertoire of suitable coupling partners. While only selected examples will be discussed, this chapter will highlight various dual catalytic platforms focusing on the photocatalytically generated intermediates, but also illustrating the diverse roles of photocatalysts in the context of such synergistic multicatalysis reactions.
What do we currently know about the clinically isolated syndrome suggestive of multiple sclerosis? An update
Authors: Grzegorski Tomasz , Losy Jacek 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, demyelinating, not fully understood disease of the central nervous system. The first demyelinating clinical episode is called clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) suggestive of MS. Although the most common manifestations of CIS are long tracts dysfunction and unilateral optic neuritis, it can also include isolated brainstem syndromes, cerebellar involvement, and polysymptomatic clinical image. Recently, the frequency of CIS diagnosis has decreased due to the more sensitive and less specific 2017 McDonald criteria compared with the revisions from 2010. Not all patients with CIS develop MS. The risk of conversion can be estimated based on many predictive factors including epidemiological, ethnical, clinical, biochemical, radiological, immunogenetic, and other markers. The management of CIS is nowadays widely discussed among clinicians and neuroscientists. To date, interferons, glatiramer acetate, teriflunomide, cladribine, and some other agents have been evaluated in randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind studies relying on large groups of patients with the first demyelinating event. All of these drugs were shown to have beneficial effects in patients with CIS and might be used routinely in the future. The goal of this article is to explore the most relevant topics regarding CIS as well as to provide the most recent information in the field. The review presents CIS definition, classification, clinical image, predictive factors, and management. What is more, this is one of very few reviews summarizing the topic in the light of the 2017 McDonald criteria.
”Catastrophe is our Bedtime Story”: The Media-Fuelled Obsession with Death in Don Delillo’s Zero K
Authors: Baya Adina 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Death and the mass-media represent two recurring and connected presences throughout Don DeLillo’s fiction. While his canonical novel White Noise is themed around the paradoxical link between the pathological fear of dying and consumerism, his latest novel Zero K is about the deferral of death through cryonics. Using the analytical tools of critical theory, the current paper aims to analyse how the portrayal of death appears in the media saturated and consumer-driven environment in which DeLillo’s characters evolve, and how technology contributes both to fuelling the obsession with dying and to feeding the illusion of immortality.
Anne Brontë’s Helen and her Atypical Insuborination: “A Will of her Own”
Authors: De Dios Torralbo Caballero Juan 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This article examines the protagonist of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Helen Huntingdon/Graham) as an anomaly in the novelistic tradition. Helen Huntingdon is a character who decides for herself, without heeding the advice of her aunt and uncle (exercising “a will of her own”, “I take the liberty of judging for myself”). Helen Graham, in this manner, challenges society, the Victorian novel, and also the sentimental novel that preceded it. She suffers domestic violence at the hands of her husband and, in an extraordinary act of rebellion, courage and determination, abandons him, taking her son away with her. The author’s depiction of Helen’s spouse, the alcoholic and abusive Arthur Huntingdon, also constitutes a divergence from the status quo of the era, as affairs of this kind were not normally portrayed in novels about the affluent Victorian society.
History as Story and Parody in Julian Barnes’s the Noise of Time
Authors: Catană Elisabeta Simona 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This article analyses Julian Barnes’s The Noise of Time, a postmodernist parody of the Russian communist world, and shows that historical truth is turned into a story which is remembered with bitter irony and which offers various interpretations. Being nothing but a story, history, associated with the symbol of noise, becomes subject to parody. Emphasizing the role of irony in revealing the dramatic effects of the Russian communist past, this essay remarks that parody functions as severe criticism.
Lives Fractured: Re/Naming and Identity in the Writing of Caryl Phillips
Authors: Čatić Emina , Öner I. Murat 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The novels of Caryl Phillips often deal with the experiences and identities of those displaced and marginalized by society. Caryl Phillips is well known for employing different textual strategies such as spatiotemporal fragmentation, intertextuality, naming, and point of view shifts in order to portray the struggles and suffering of his characters. The aim of this article is to examine how Phillips uses naming of his characters to depict the effects exile, slavery and other forms of oppression may have on their lives and identities. In order to accomplish this, different characters from Phillips’s novels Cambridge (1991), The Nature of Blood (1997), Crossing the River (1993) and Higher Ground (1989) will be discussed. The analysis of the characters will draw upon three concepts of naming first proposed by Bénédicte Ledent (2002): anonymity, (re)naming and name alteration.
Homes on Borders in Chicano Literature
Authors: Tucan Gabriela 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
In “Borderlands/La Frontera” (1987), Gloria Anzaldúa writes about the “tradition of long walks” (11) across physical and imaginary borders, which defines her Mexican-American people. The borderland is both a space of transit and a state of transition from where the Chicanos venture into unknown territories. Their identity is constructed around and across space(s). In this paper, I seek to examine the Chicanos’ fluid spatial identity in their searches for a real home, in Pat Mora’s “House of Houses”, Sandra Cisneros’ “The House on Mango Street”, Gloria Anzaldúa’s “Borderlands/La Frontera”. I argue that in these literary and autobiographical works, the cosy domestic home is impossible to find because of constant displacement and imposed mobility.

A Corpus View on a Couple of Structurally Ambiguous Sentences
Authors: Cehan Nadina 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Ambiguity has played a central role in the formation of modern grammatical theory. The article revisits the topic of structural ambiguity in particular, by looking closely at the sentences ‘The shooting of the hunters is terrible’ and ‘Flying planes can be dangerous’, both taken from Chomsky’s works. The question posed is whether the data provided by corpora verify their ambiguity.
Translation Errors Across Genres: A Research Perspective
Authors: Cozma Mihaela 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Even if there may be types of translation errors which have a rather general character, in most of the cases they are closely related to the genre that the text to be translated represents. The paper offers an analysis of the translation errors contained by the assignments of 30 MA students in Translation Studies from the West University of Timisoara, Romania. The assignments consist in the translation from English into Romanian of texts belonging to three different genres: travel guides, legislation, and medical case reports. The errors are analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively, with a view to arriving at conclusions of relevance for the improvement of the training process.
English Compound Terms in Air Traffic and Waterways Transport and Traffic Engineering and their Translation into Serbian
Authors: Dimković-Telebaković Gordana 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
In this paper, we explore the morphological structure and semantics of 89 English compound terms and their Serbian equivalents, as employed in air traffic and waterways transport and traffic engineering. In order to facilitate the process of translating these English metaphorical compound lexemes into Serbian, 10 translation patterns and strategies are designed. The results of the analysis also show that English compound terms and translation equivalents in Serbian do not pattern in most cases. To obtain the findings, we develop a semantico-morpho-translation method.
The Mechanism of Implicature and Inference as Influenced by Primary Stimuli
Authors: Dimulescu Cristina 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This paper attempts to explain language as a process of meaning creation by a speaker (implicature) and meaning disambiguation by a hearer (inference) at the basis of which there is a complex mechanism of reality perception, internalization and verbalization. This mechanism of implicature/inference is studied from two interconnecting perspectives: Conversation Analysis and Neuro Linguistic Programming. While the former investigates the function of the utterance in context, the latter explores the way speakers and hearers internalize reality depending on how they see, hear and feel the world around them.
Redesigning Summative Evaluation in Medical English

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Evaluation of discrete skills such as reading comprehension as well as vocabulary and grammar multiple choice testing are commonplace in Medical English examinations in higher education. But are these approaches to evaluation practically oriented enough so as to provide a clear image of what students can do with the language in a real life communicative context? This paper will present a case of projectbased evaluation with students in English for Medical Cosmetics likely to meet such challenges.
