Under the current conditions of market economy a higher education institution must increase considerably the efficiency of its educational activities control to improve its competitive ability. At present one of the most promising methods for educational process control reorganization is a business-process re-engineering. It is necessary to carry out a profound analysis of technologies for educational activities control and determine certain business-processes which require re-engineering. In the Bryansk State Technical University there is carried out a re-engineering of basic business processes of the admission campaign: a school leaver invitation, documentation reception, entrance examina-tions carrying out and their analysis, an enrollment for training.
To solve this problem there was used IDEF0 methodology and developed a functional model mani-festing a structure and functions of an information sys-tem, and also information flows connecting these func-tions. A decomposition of a complex system into more simple automated processes and sub-processes in order that each of them could be designed independently is carried out. The work fulfilled allowed realizing the re-engineering and automation of the admission campaign business-processes of the Bryansk State Technical University and ordering qualitatively the activities of the entrance commission that decreased labor expendi-tures at all stages of the admission campaign increased the effectiveness of the entrance commission activities and allowed making qualitative decisions affecting institution functioning on the whole.

(Solar) Mixed Reforming of Methane: Potential and Limits in Utilizing CO2 as Feedstock for Syngas Production—A Thermodynamic Analysis
Authors: Von Storch Henrik , Becker-Hardt Sonja , Sattler Christian 
Published: September 2018

The reforming of natural gas with steam and CO2 is commonly referred to as mixed reforming and considered a promising route to utilize CO2 in the production of synthetic fuels and base chemicals such as methanol. In the present study, the mixed reforming reaction is assessed regarding its potential to effectively utilize CO2 in such processes based on simple thermodynamic models. Requirements for the mixed reforming reactions based on process considerations are defined. These are the avoidance of carbon formation in the reactor, high conversion of the valuable inlet streams CH4 and CO2 as well as a suitable syngas composition for subsequent synthesis. The syngas composition is evaluated based on the module M = ( z H 2 − z CO 2 ) / ( z CO 2 + z CO ) , which should assume a value close to 2. A large number of different configurations regarding CO2/H2O/CH4 at the reactor inlet, operating pressure and outlet temperature are simulated and evaluated according to the defined requirements. The results show that the actual potential of the mixed reforming reaction to utilize CO2 as feedstock for fuels and methanol is limited to approximately 0.35 CO2/CH4, which is significantly lower than suggested in literature. At 900 °C and 7 bar at the reactor outlet, which is seen suitable for solar reforming, a ratio of H2O/CH4 of 1.4 can be set and the resulting value of M is 1.92 (CO2/CO/H2 = 0.07/0.4/1).
Is Multiclass Automatic Text De-Identification Worth the Effort?
Authors: Bui Duy Duc An , Redden David T. , Cimino James J. 
Published: September 2018

Summary
Objectives: Automatic de-identification to remove protected health information (PHI) from clinical text can use a “binary” model that replaces redacted text with a generic tag (e.g., “<PHI>”), or can use a “multiclass” model that retains more class information (e.g., “<Phone Number>”). Binary models are easier to develop, but result in text that is potentially less informative. We investigated whether building a multiclass de-identification is worth the extra effort.
Methods: Using the 2014 i2b2 dataset, we compared the accuracy and impact on document readability of two models. In the first experiment, we generated one binary and two multiclass versions trained with the same machine-learning algorithm Conditional Random Field (CRF). Accuracy (recall, precision, f-score) and secondary metrics (e.g, training time, testing time, minimum memory required) were measured. In the second experiment, three reviewers accessed the readability of two redacted documents using the binary and multiclass methods. We estimated a pooled Kappa to estimate the inter-rater agreement.
Results: The multiclass model did not demonstrate a clear accuracy advantage, with lower recall (−1.9%) and only slightly better precision (+0.6%), despite requiring additional computing resources. Three raters reached a very high agreement (Kappa = 0.975, 95% Confidence Interval (0.946, 1.00), p < 0.0001) that both binary and multiclass models have the same impact on document readability.
Conclusions: This study suggests that the development of more sophisticated classification of PHI may not be worth the effort in terms of both system accuracy and the usefulness of the output.

Abstract
Prompted by peculiar spectroscopic variability observed in SDSS/APOGEE H-band spectra, we monitored the Be star HD 55606 using optical spectroscopy and found that it is an exotic double-lined spectroscopic binary (SB2) consisting of a Be star and a hot, compact companion that is probably an OB subdwarf (sdOB) star. The motion of the sdOB star is traced by its impact on the strong He i lines, observed as radial velocity (V

r
) variable, double-peaked emission profiles with narrow central absorption cores. Weak He ii 4686 Å absorption associated with the companion star is detected in most spectra. Use of the emission peaks of low-ionization emission lines to trace the Be star V

⊙ in the case of i = 80°. HD 55606 exhibits a variety of phase-locked variability, including the development of shell lines twice per orbit. The shell phases coincide with variation in the double emission peak separations, and both forms of variability are likely caused by a two-armed spiral density perturbation in the Be disk. The intensity ratios of the double emission peaks are also phase-locked, possibly indicating heating by the sdOB star of the side of the Be disk facing it. HD 55606 is a new member of the growing sample of Be+sdOB binaries, in which the Be star’s rapid rotation and ability to form a disk can be attributed to past mass-transfer.

Abstract
We report on a measurement of the cosmic ray energy spectrum by the Telescope Array Low-Energy Extension (TALE) air fluorescence detector (FD). The TALE air FD is also sensitive to the Cherenkov light produced by shower particles. Low-energy cosmic rays, in the PeV energy range, are detectable by TALE as Cherenkov events. Using these events, we measure the energy spectrum from a low energy of ∼2 PeV to an energy greater than 100 PeV. Above 100 PeV, TALE can detect cosmic rays using air fluorescence. This allows for the extension of the measurement to energies greater than a few EeV. In this paper, we describe the detector, explain the technique, and present results from a measurement of the spectrum using ∼1000 hr of observation. The observed spectrum shows a clear steepening near 1017.1 eV, along with an ankle-like structure at 1016.2 eV. These features present important constraints on the origin of galactic cosmic rays and on propagation models. The feature at 1017.1 eV may also mark the end of the galactic cosmic ray flux and the start of the transition to extragalactic sources.

Abstract
We derive the distance and structure of the Perseus molecular cloud by combining trigonometric parallaxes from Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations, taken as part of the GOBELINS survey and Gaia Data Release 2. Based on our VLBA astrometry, we obtain a distance of 321 ± 10 pc for IC 348. This is fully consistent with the mean distance of 320 ± 26 measured by Gaia. The VLBA observations toward NGC 1333 are insufficient to claim a successful distance measurement to this cluster. Gaia parallaxes, on the other hand, yield a mean distance of 293 ± 22 pc. Hence, the distance along the line of sight between the eastern and western edges of the cloud is ∼30 pc, which is significantly smaller than previously inferred. We use Gaia proper motions and published radial velocities to derive the spatial velocities of a selected sample of stars. The average velocity vectors with respect to the LSR are

= (−6.1 ± 1.6, 6.8 ± 1.1, −0.9 ± 1.2) and (−6.4 ± 1.0, 2.1 ± 1.4, −2.4 ± 1.0) km s−1 for IC 348 and NGC 1333, respectively. Finally, our analysis of the kinematics of the stars has shown that there is no clear evidence of expansion, contraction, or rotational motions within the clusters.
Post-Newtonian Corrections to Toomre's Criterion
Authors: Kazemi Ali , Roshan Mahmood , Nazari Elham 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The gravitational stability of a two-dimensional self-gravitating and differentially rotating gaseous disk in the context of post-Newtonian (PN) theory is studied. Using the perturbative method and applying the second iterated equations of PN approximation, the relativistic version of the dispersion relation for the propagation of small perturbations is found. We obtain the PN version of Toomre’s local stability criterion by utilizing this PN dispersion relation. In other words, we find relativistic corrections to Toomre’s criterion in the first PN approximation. Two stability parameters, η and μ, related to gravity and pressure are introduced. We illustrate how these parameters determine the stability of the Newtonian and PN systems. Moreover, we show that, in general, the differentially rotating fluid disk is more stable in the context of PN theory relative to the Newtonian one. Also, we explicitly show that although the relativistic PN corrections destabilize nonrotating systems, they have the stabilizing role in the rotating thin disks. Finally, we apply the results to the relativistic disks around hypermassive neutron stars and find that although Newtonian description predicts the occurrence of local fragmentations, PN theory remains in agreement with the relevant simulations and rules out the existence of local fragmentations.
Complexities of elder livelihoods: Changing age-inscriptions and stable norms in three villages in rural West Africa
Authors: Häberlein Tabea 
Published: September 2018

The intergenerational contract seems to be a dominant social norm of senior care all over the world, in which older adults are cared for reciprocally by those for whom they have cared. Yet in three villages in northern Benin and northern Togo, this intergenerational norm seems to be breached, with older adults living alone and in poverty. However, standardized surveys from a comparative research project established that kin groups do not abandon their older adults, if one considers the kin group to be containing classificatory children instead of the nuclear family with biological children and remittances to substitute for daily care. This article argues that the apparent contradictions between the intergenerational contract and the actual practices of providing care in old age are not so stark. The creative living arrangements of older adults in response to social changes of migration do not challenge the intergenerational contract, but instead are the ways of fulfilling it. The analytical concept of age-inscription (see Alber & Coe in this issue) helps to explain the gap between discursive norms and individual creative solutions of senior care. The social norm of the intergenerational contract persists through new age-inscriptions.
The England Trip of 1872: Mark Twain's First Season in Hell
Authors: Csicsila Joseph 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Near the end of August 1872, Mark Twain traveled to England for the first time ostensibly to gather notes for a new literary project, which he would refer to over the next several months as the “English” book. Commentators from Albert Bigelow Paine to Howard Baetzhold have described the England trip of 1872 generally as a pleasurable experience for Twain. However, the fall of 1872 was an enormously turbulent time for Twain psychologically. He was in the throes of what he remembered years later as one of the darkest, most grief-filled periods of his entire life: a two-year stretch marked by an unrelenting succession of personal misfortune and tragedy. Considered from this perspective, the England trip of 1872 looks less like an enjoyable overseas excursion and more like a season in hell.
A Populist in King Arthur's Court
Authors: Alquesta Andrew 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Connecticut Yankee stands as one of Twain's most overtly political novels. Critics have read its protagonist, Hank Morgan, as anything from a progressive reformer to an authoritarian oppressor. This article attempts to explain some of Hank's contradictions by reading him as a populist in two intersecting ways. First, he serves as a figure for the workingman that was valorized by the late nineteenth-century People's Party. Second, his rhetoric suggests the lowercase-p populism that splits the political sphere into an insurgent form of “the people” and its elite “other.” Critics of populism argue that this structure is necessarily anti-democratic, and contemporary commentators often use populism as little more than a dirty word; however, this article argues that Connecticut Yankee offers further support to the claim that, at the very least, populism is an element of democracy and, at its best, can disrupt the political status quo in ways that help assert popular sovereignty.
Filmography of The Prince and the Pauper
Authors: Davis Hugh H. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The subject of filmed Mark Twain has only begun to be examined by scholars. Adaptations vary in format, production values, quality, and fidelity to the source material widely. Film versions of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn have received the bulk of critical attention, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court seems to have inspired many filmmakers, but the Mark Twain work that appears to have produced the most adaptations is The Prince and the Pauper. In the almost 110 years since the first silent version premiered, ninety-five variations on the Tudor tale have been released, with these adaptations varying from traditional and highly faithful renditions to versions that connect by very slim similarities. The novel's plot has often been borrowed for episodes of television series, with stories involving previously unknown doubles and the switching of identities. This filmography traces and catalogs those adaptations that based on Mark Twain's novel.
The Pernicious Use of “Humorist” to Describe Mark Twain (and Other Comic Writers)
Authors: Caron James E. 
Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT
This article invites a closer look at the misleading use of the term “humorist” to describe Mark Twain, as well as any other number of authors who write comic material, and to suggest the pernicious effects of that practice. The near ubiquitous use of “humorist” in critical commentary masks or at least obscures the satiric elements in laughable texts, repressing the darker shades of those texts. Light-hearted or amiable laughter has become the sign of the humorist. In a regime that assumes “humorist” as the umbrella term, what happens to the assaults of (ridiculing) laughter that are a hallmark of satirists? Two sets of examples are offered: contemporary reviews of the works of Mark Twain published at the beginning of the twentieth century and remarks taken from recent critical commentary about comic writing. This article also offers a brief description of what its author believes constitutes the core of satire.
Experienced Wholeness
Authors: Wiese Wanja 
Published: September 2018

An interdisciplinary account of phenomenal unity, investigating how experiential wholes can be characterized and how such characterizations can be analyzed computationally.
How can we account for phenomenal unity? That is, how can we characterize and explain our experience of objects and groups of objects, bodily experiences, successions of events, and the attentional structure of consciousness as wholes? In this book, Wanja Wiese develops an interdisciplinary account of phenomenal unity, investigating how experiential wholes can be characterized and how such characterization can be analyzed conceptually as well as computationally.
Wiese first addresses how the unity of consciousness can be characterized phenomenologically, discussing what it is like to experience wholes and what is the experiential contribution of phenomenal unity. Considering the associated conceptual and empirical issues, he draws connections to phenomenological accounts and research on Gestalt theory. The results show how the attentional structure of experience, the experience of temporal flow, and different types of experiential wholes contribute to our sense of phenomenal unity. Moreover, characterizing phenomenal unity in terms of the existence of a single global phenomenal state is neither necessary nor sufficient to adequately address the problem of phenomenal unity. Wiese then suggests that the concepts and ideas of predictive processing can be used to analyze phenomenal unity computationally. The result is both a conceptual framework and an interdisciplinary account: the regularity account of phenomenal unity. According to this account, experienced wholes correspond to a hierarchy of connecting regularities. The brain tracks these regularities by hierarchical prediction error minimization, which approximates hierarchical Bayesian inference.
