Global features of online communication in local Flemish: Social and medium-related determinants
Authors: De Decker Benny , Vandekerckhove Reinhild 
Published: April 2017

AbstractThe present case study tests the frequency of four clusters of features of computer-mediated communication (CMC) in a written chat corpus of more than two million words, produced by Flemish adolescents living in northern Belgium. The main focus is on the correlation between the occurrence of these features and the social variables gender and age, on the one hand, and the impact of the CMC-medium, on the other. For the latter parameter, a distinction is made between asynchronous and synchronous real time conversation. While gender has received ample attention in recent research on chat and texting practices, the findings qualify the impact of this social variable, and point to age and medium as two significant determinants of the use of typical CMC-features. Finally, the results call for a systematic distinction between expressive and playful vs. more strictly functional or economical features, since precisely that distinction enhances our understanding of the attested gender and age patterns.

The development of Sūq al-Qaṭṭānīn quarter, Jerusalem
Authors: Daʿadli Tawfiq , Barbé Hervé 
Published: April 2017

Abstract:Following the discovery of a Mamlūk public bath and a vaulted hall to the south of the Cotton Market in the Old City of Jerusalem, this article proposes a new evaluation of the urban fabric in close proximity to the focal point of the Islamic area ‒ the Ḥaram al-Sharīf. We argue here that what once was considered a project constructed under the supervision of the district governor Saif al-Dīn Tankiz, and financed by the Sultan al-Nāṣir Muḥammad b. Qalāwūn, was in fact initiated by Tankiz. He first erected a double ḥammām, and then a Khān, which was presumably connected to a market street. In its final incarnation, the Sūq was monumental in scale, extending all the way to the Ḥaram. The final product, a market street connecting the Ḥaram with one of the main streets of the city, providing facilities to believers in the form of a double ḥammām and a Khān that served merchants and also pilgrims, was by far the most ambitious project of the Mamlūk era in Jerusalem.

Unnatural narratology and premodern narratives: Historicizing a form
Authors: von Contzen Eva 
Published: April 2017

Abstract‘Unnatural’ narratology has been a thriving new field of narrative theory in recent years. What its various sub-fields share is that they are concerned, very broadly, with narratives that transcend the parameters of conventional realism. One of the field’s promises is that it can also account for earlier ‘unnatural’ narrative scenarios, for instance in ancient and medieval literature. Focusing on two recent publications by Alber and Richardson, this essay challenges the historical trajectory the movement envisages. Paying special attention to the influence of religion on premodern narratives and its implications for the concept of the unnatural, this essay argues that unnatural narratology is reductionist and adheres to a structuralist paradigm, and thus cannot do justice to the idiosyncrasies of premodern narrative forms and functions. An alternative approach to the unnatural as a dynamic form is introduced as an outlook.
Constructing the antihero: Linguistic characterisation in current American television series
Authors: Schubert Christoph 
Published: April 2017

AbstractThis paper investigates the ways in which immoral villains in contemporary fictional television are linguistically constructed as antiheroes that are appealing and even likeable to a wide mainstream audience. The underlying dataset comprises the first thirteen episodes of each of the three American TV seriesBreaking Bad, House of Cards, andDexter. In order to highlight the equivocal status of the protagonists, this study adopts approaches from both cognitive semantics and register theory. The blending of mental spaces in utterances by the antiheroes underlines the fact that they oscillate between diverse social and cognitive domains. In addition, the protagonists are highly versatile in accommodating their linguistic registers to alternating situational contexts. As a result, they are framed as resourceful, multifaceted, and captivating individuals in a way that accounts for the tremendous pop-cultural impact and economic success of these TV shows.
The curse of the perceptual: a case from kinaesthesia
Authors: Kolaiti Patricia 
Published: April 2017

AbstractDebate in philosophy of language and linguistics has focused on conceptual representations/propositional thought; as a result there has been little discussion on the effability ofperceptualor, more generally,phenomenalrepresentations and the communicative difficulties associated with them. In this paper, I start from an example based on the relative ineffability ofkinaestheticrepresentations, i. e. representations involving bodily posture and movement, and then generalise the discussion by looking at the reasons why – even when there are no limits on either the richness of available contexts or the ways in which contextual material could be used to enrich linguistically encoded meanings – perceptual/phenomenal representations test our expressive capacities to the limit. Some recent work on linguistics suggests that the ineffability problem arises mainly with words whose linguistic meanings are tightly associated with perception. Arguing that a much wider variety of linguistic expressions can evoke phenomenal states – including proper names, whose main function is referential – I will try to show that the challenges phenomenal experience poses for our communicative abilities reach well beyond the limited range of those expressions tightly associated with emotion and perception.
Unreliable Third Person Narration? The Case of Katherine Mansfield
Authors: Murphy Terence Patrick , Walsh Kelly S. 
Published: April 2017

AbstractThe concept of an unreliable third-person narrator may seem a contradiction in terms. The very act of adopting a third-person stance to tell a story would appear to entail an acceptance of a basic need for truth-telling, a commitment to what Wayne Booth terms the implied author’s “norms of the work.” Nonetheless, in the essay that follows, three of Katherine Mansfield’s short stories – “A Cup of Tea” (1922), “Bliss” (1918) and “Revelations” (1920) – will be examined in order to demonstrate how the strategic suppression of the distinction between the voice of the narrator and that of the central character can lead to a strong sense of unreliability. In order to read such narratives effectively, the reader must reappraise the value of certain other stylistic elements, including the use of directives involved with directly quoted speech, seemingly minor discrepancies between adjacent sentences and, perhaps most importantly, the structure of the fiction itself. We contend that Mansfield’s use of this form of unreliable third-person fiction is her unique contribution to the short story genre.
A new approach to constructing vector splitting schemes in mixed finite element method for parabolic problems
Authors: Voronin Kirill , Laevsky Yuri 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
A general setting for a new approach to constructing vector splitting schemes in mixed FEM for heat transfer problem is considered. For space approximation Raviart–Thomas finite elements of lowest order are implemented on rectangular (parallelepiped) mesh. The main question discussed is how to implement time discretization so as to obtain efficient numerical algorithms.
The key idea of the proposed approach is to use scalar splitting schemes for heat flux divergence. This allows one to carry out accuracy and stability analysis on the basis of the well-known results for underlying scalar splitting schemes. A priori estimates are obtained for vector splitting schemes in two- and three-dimensional cases using the idea of flux decomposition onto divergence-free and potential components at discrete level. It is shown that splitting schemes which have been proposed by other approaches based on Uzawa algorithm’s modification and block triangular factorization are included as special cases by an appropriate choice of the underlying splitting schemes for heat flux divergence. Generalization of the discussed approach is presented for second-order hyperbolic problems. Moreover, the general idea of using splitting schemes for the flux divergence to construct splitting schemes for fluxes can be easily extended to first-order hyperbolic systems, but by now several questions still remain unsolved.
Development of an aflatoxin B1 specific molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction sorbent for the selective pre-concentration of toxic aflatoxin B1 from child weaning food, Tsabana
Authors: Semong Oratile , Batlokwa Bareki S. 
Published: April 2017

AbstractThis paper presents the synthesis, optimization and application of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sorbent for the selective extraction and pre-concentration of the potent toxin, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), from the child weaning food, Tsabana (manufactured in Serowe, Botswana). As a food safety regulatory measure, Tsabana must be cleared of hazardous aflatoxins, especially AFB1, before consumption. This is because AFB1 is the most common and potent of the aflatoxins commonly found in cereals. Accurate analysis of AFB1 is challenging because it exists in very low concentrations in complex, ‘dirty’ matrices such as food, making it difficult to detect using analytical instruments, even if these analytical techniques have sensitivities at the femto level. The MIP extraction sorbent synthesized in this paper deals with these challenges by selectively pre-concentrating AFB1 from real Tsabana samples, successfully achieving a pre-concentration factor of 5 and therefore significantly increasing ABF1 signal intensity for easier detection. Further advantages of this system include the short time (25.0 minutes) and reasonable optimal MIP dose (20.0 mg) needed for maximum AFB1 extraction by the sorbent. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the prepared AFB1 powder particles have spherical geometries and reasonably small sizes (800 nm), two advantageous physical characteristics that are associated with excellent sorbent materials.
Modelling of intra-urban variability of prevailing ambient noise at different temporal resolution
Authors: Alam Md Saniul , Corcoran Lucy , King Eoin A. , McNabola Aonghus , Pilla Francesco 
Published: April 2017

AbstractThe impact of temporal aspects of noise data on model development and intra-urban variability on environmental noise levels are often ignored in the development of models used to predict its spatiotemporal variation within a city. Using a Land Use Regression approach, this study develops a framework which uses routine noise monitors to model the prevailing ambient noise, and to develop a noise variability map showing the variation within a city caused by land-use setting. The impact of data resolution on model development and the impact of meteorological variables on the noise level which are often ignored were also assessed. Six models were developed based on monthly, daily and hourly resolutions of both the noise and predictor data. Cross validation highlighted that only the hourly resolution model having 59%explanatory power of the observed data (adjusted R2) and a potential of explaining at least 0.47% variation of any independent dataset (cross validation R2), was a suitable candidate among all the developed models for explaining intraurban variability of noise.In the hourly model, regions with roads of high traffic volumes, with higher concentrations of heavy goods vehicles, and being close to activity centreswere found to have more impact on the prevailing ambient noise. Road lengthswere found to be the most influential predictors and identified as having an impact on the ambient noise monitors.
The Inter- and Intratextuality of Seneca the Elder’s Controversia 6.8: The Vestal Virgin Writer and her challenging persona
Authors: Stoffel Christian 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
In this paper, I will highlight certain literary characteristics of Seneca the Elder’s excerpt Controversia 6.8 (commonly neglected by modern scholarship), which is about an unnamed Vestal virgin accused of the crimen
incesti for having written the following allegedly biographical verse about lucky brides: felices nuptae! moriar nisi nubere dulce est. The anonymous declaimers then argue against and for the Vestal, using biographical criticism and discussing the appropriate behaviour of both a woman priest and a female writer. I will argue that the whole case, the Vestal’s allusive verse and her multilayered persona do not permit a simple (moral) reading, but, rather, possess a remarkable literary, intertextual and intratextual quality. Firstly, the Vestal is connected with the legend of Lucretia. Her character – innocent despite her polluted body – undermines the talis oratio qualis vita argumentused by the Vestal’s prosecutor, who is presented as a second Tarquinius. Secondly, the Vestal’s verse has multiple literary connotations that evoke some of Ovid’s waiting heroines in the Heroides, Sallust’s transgender persona Sempronia in his Bellum
Catilinae and Horace’s famous line dulce et decorum est pro patria mori in his Odes. Intratextually, the verse and its interpretation mirror important rhetorical and declamatory precepts given by Seneca the Elder, especially in the preface to Book One. At the same time, the Vestal seems to be the perfect personification of the lamented effeminacy and violation of contemporary rhetoric.
Vergil and the Death of Pentheus in Ovid, Metamorphoses 3
Authors: Alasdair Maciver Calum 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
In a pivotal article in 1990, P. Hardie illustrated that the Theban narrative of Ovid Metamorphoses 3 and 4 was the first anti-Aeneid. He did not include discussion of the death of Pentheus at the end of Book 3. In this article I show that the depiction of the Theban king’s death is bound up with key Vergilian intertexts which have a profound impact both on reading the pathos of the scene, but more importantly, on Ovid’s reconstruction of the end of the Aeneid and the death of Turnus. A seemingly clichéd simile comparing Pentheus’ sparagmos with the falling of leaves from a tree evokes the famous passage from the underworld in Aeneid 6 in which the souls of those who died prematurely are described. More importantly, in relation to Ovid’s narrative of the Theban ktisis, careful allusions to the final lines of the Aeneid in Pentheus’ death-scene act as a critical commentary on the Aeneid and the actions of Aeneas.
Der verlorene Schluss desBellum Hispaniense
Authors: Gutt Niklas 
Published: April 2017

AbstractThe transmission of the final book of theCorpus Caesarianum, the pseudo-CaesarianBellum Hispaniense, is problematic. After countless lacunae and desperately corrupt passages it breaks off abruptly with a speech by Caesar to disloyal provincials. The present article addresses the form and content of the lost ending with an approach that is unusual in present-day scholarship: inspired by the humanist supplements to ancient literature, such as were produced into the eighteenth century, it develops scholarly criteria for a supplement to theBellum Hispaniense. Taking its orientation from the literary properties of the transmitted text and the parallel historical tradition, the paper argues that an act of clemency under harsh conditions is a plausible ending for Caesar’s speech. The content for a supplement to the narrative of events in theBellum Hispanienseis argued to be, among other things, the conquest of the city of Urso and the reward and punishment of the provincials by Caesar. The result of the paper is presented in an exemplary application of the criteria developed, in the form of a Latin supplement.
Overview of the optimal perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy regimens used in current clinical practice
Authors: Van der Speeten Kurt , Lemoine Lieselotte , Sugarbaker Paul 
Published: April 2017

AbstractPeritoneal surface malignancy (PSM) is a common manifestation of digestive and gynecologic malignancies alike. At present, patients with isolated PSM are treated with a combination therapy of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). The combination of CRS and intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy should now be considered standard of care for PSM from appendiceal epithelial cancers, colorectal cancer and peritoneal mesothelioma. Although there is a near universal standardization regarding the CRS, we are still lacking a much-needed standardization among the various IP chemotherapy treatment modalities used today in clinical practice. Pharmacologic evidence should be generated to answer important questions raised by the myriad of variables associated with IP chemotherapy.
What makes teasing impolite in Australian and British English? “Step[ping] over those lines […] you shouldn’t be crossing”
Authors: Sinkeviciute Valeria 
Published: April 2017

AbstractEven though in English-speaking cultural contexts a humorous reaction to teasing seems to be highly valued, jocularity can and does sometimes occasion evaluations of impoliteness. This paper aims to examine what makes the targets and/or other ratified hearers (the third party) evaluate teasing as impolite and to observe how impoliteness (as an evaluative situated phenomenon) functions in jocular interactions in two cultural contexts – Australian and British. The data comes from two national versions of the same reality gameshow –
The relationship between irony and sarcasm: Insights from a first-order metalanguage investigation
Authors: Taylor Charlotte 
Published: April 2017

AbstractThe relationship between irony and sarcasm has been much discussed and yet there is still little agreement on how the two relate at a theoretical level, as Attardo (2000: 795) notes “there is no consensus on whether irony and sarcasm are essentially the same thing […] or if they differ significantly”. The aim of this paper is to take a user-perspective and report on how participants in everyday conversations in the UK and Italy talk about irony and sarcasm and what kinds of authentic behaviors are described using these labels. These findings are discussed with reference to the academic concepts of irony and sarcasm to investigate how the lay and academic perspectives relate.

Published: April 2017

Abstract
An experimental setup for performing micro-scratching tasks and measuring the forces involved in the process is presented
in this paper. The main component of the system is a multi-component force and torque sensor based on the principle of
electromagnetic force compensation (EMFC). With this device it is possible to perform the micromachining process itself
while simultaneously measuring the interaction forces between the tool tip and the test specimen. Experiments were
performed with specimens of polished steel, silicon and glass. Planar micro-structures could be produced and tool point
interaction forces in the order of some millinewtons were measured during the process.

Zusammenfassung
Im Zuge der Erforschung und Weiterentwicklung des Fertigungsverfahrens
Blechmassivumformung wird ein geeignetes Messverfahren zur
Qualitätsbeurteilung benötigt. Dieses soll aufgrund der
Prozessanforderungen eine ganzheitliche fertigungsnahe Prüfung der
Bauteile ermöglichen. Dementsprechend ist ein Messsystem
erforderlich, das auch in unmittelbarer Prozessnähe
zuverlässig Ergebnisse von allen relevanten Bauteilmerkmalen
liefert, welche sich signifikant in ihrer Größe und Form
unterscheiden. Durch den mehrskaligen Multisensor-Ansatz, der die
Kombination mehrerer Sensoren unterschiedlicher Messverfahren,
-auflösungen und -bereichen erlaubt, konnte ein Messsystem für
die Anforderungen der neuen Fertigungstechnologie entwickelt
werden. Ein eigens angepasstes methodisches Vorgehen erlaubte eine
strukturierte Messsystementwicklung mit verschiedenen
Entwicklungszielen als Zwischenergebnis. Das resultierende
prototypische mehrskalige Multisensor-Messsystem, basierend auf drei
verschiedenen Streifenprojektionssensoren erlaubt dimensionelle
Messungen von Merkmalen, deren Größe den Messbereich eines
Sensors überschreitet. Hierdurch werden ganzheitliche Messungen
von Bauteilen der neuen Fertigungstechnologie ermöglicht.
Kapazitive Messungen in Zweiphasengemischen am Beispiel von kryogenem
Stickstoff
Authors: Kandlbinder Christoph , Fischerauer Alice , Mösch Mario , Helling Tobias , Fischerauer Gerhard , Siegl Martin 
Published: April 2017

Zusammenfassung
Die Ober- und Hauptstufen von Trägerraketen werden oftmals mit
kryogenen Flüssigkeiten betrieben. Im Besonderen ist es für eine
Zündung des Triebwerkes in der Schwerelosigkeit wichtig, das Verhalten
dieser kryogenen Flüssigkeiten zu beobachten. Zum Beispiel stellen
Gasblasen, welche in die Treibstoffzuleitungen gelangen und durch
Kavitation Teile des Triebwerks zerstören können, eine Gefahr für die
Wiederzündung dar. Daher haben wir ein kapazitives Messsystem für
Zweiphasengemische realisiert, welches ohne messbaren Energieeintrag
unter tiefkalten Bedingungen arbeiten kann. Dabei sind die Elektroden
so angeordnet, dass Phasenänderungen innerhalb des beobachteten
Volumens erfasst werden. Die charakteristischen Kapazitätsverläufe der
unterschiedlichen Elektrodenpaarungen wurden experimentell bestimmt
und einerseits mit Finite-Elemente-Simulationen (Ansys)
verglichen. Andererseits wurden Berechnungen zur elektrischen
Flussdichte angestellt, welche die simulierten Kapazitätsverläufe mit
theoretischen Aussagen ergänzen. Da die Messungen mit Rauschen
überlagert sind, wurde ein gleitendes Mittelwertfilter auf die
Messergebnisse angewendet. Solche experimentell ermittelten und
gefilterten Ergebnisse spiegeln die aus der Auswertung von
Videokameraaufnahmen abgeleiteten Phasengrenzen zwischen flüssigem und
gasförmigem Stickstoff (in einem umgestülpten Behältnis, das in einen
Tank voller flüssigen Stickstoffs getaucht war) mit nur geringen
Abweichungen wider. Zudem ließen sich verschiedene Prozesse wie
Verschiebungen einer makroskopischen Phasengrenze
(Füllstandsänderungen im umgestülpten Behältnis) und im flüssigen
Stickstoff aufsteigende Gasblasen anhand der gemessenen Kapazitäten
unterscheiden.
