Cubic tessellations of the didicosm
Authors: Mixer M. , Hubard I. , Pellicer D. , Weiss A. I. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Up to isomorphism, there is a unique fixed-point-free crystallographic group generated by two (2-fold) twists whose non-intersecting axes have perpendicular directions. Identifying points in E3 which are in the same orbit under the action of this group yields the flat, closed 3-manifold known as the didicosm (also as the Hantzsche-Wendt manifold). When this group is realized as a group of symmetries of the standard cubical tessellation in E3, the resulting quotient gives a cubical tessellation on the didicosm. This paper describes a complete classification of these cubical tessellations on the didicosm into ten classes, according to their automorphism groups.
Isometries of complemented sub-Riemannian manifolds
Authors: Hladky R. K. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
We show that the smooth isometries of a complemented sub-Riemannian manifold form a Lie group and establish dimension estimates based on the torsion of the canonical connection. We explore the interaction of curvature and the structure of isometries and Killing fields and derive a Bochner formula for Killing fields. Sub-Riemannian generalizations of classical results of Bochner and Berger are established. We also apply our theory to common sub-categories of complemented sub-Riemannian geometries and show how to compute the isometry groups for several examples, including SO(n), SL(n) and the rototranslation group.
Fundamental validation for surface texture imaging using a microsphere as a laser-trapping-based microprobe
Authors: Michihata Masaki , Takami Kosuke , Hayashi Terutake , Takaya Yasuhiro 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
A surface imaging technique using a laser-trapped microsphere is proposed. The goal of this research is to image the surface texture, while simultaneously measuring the position of the engineered surfaces using the laser-trapping-based microprobe. This paper presents an investigation of imaging characteristics for the microsphere technique. Depending on the distance from the surface to the microsphere, the available images could be either real or virtual. Virtual images had a higher contrast than real images. Contrast and magnification varies depending on the positions of the focal point of the objective lens and surface.

Investment lags and macroeconomic dynamics
Authors: Jung Yong-Gook 
Published: May 2014

AbstractThis study examines the dynamics and the fit of a time-to-build model. The benchmark model employs the investment adjustment cost specification of Christiano, Eichenbaum, and Evans (2005) and the alternative model utilizes the time-to-build specification of Casares (2006). The Bayesian estimation result conveys the following implications: In general, the time-to-build model generates similar dynamics as the benchmark model. But it does not improve the fit of the model to the data. The model comparison, based on marginal likelihood and simulation results, makes the benchmark model the winner of the horse race.
Influence of bio-coatings on the recording performance of neural electrodes
Authors: Chow Winnie W.Y. , Herwik Stanislav , Kisban Sebastian , Ruther Patrick , Neves Herc , Oscarsson Sven , Göthelid Emmanuelle 
Published: May 2014

AbstractNeural probes are complex devices consisting of metallic (often Pt based) electrodes, spread over an insolating/dielectric backbone. Their functionality is often limited in time because of the formation of scaring tissues around the implantation tracks. Functionalization of the probes surface can be used to limit the glial scar reaction. This is however challenging, as this treatment has to be equally efficient on all probe surfaces (metallic as well as dielectric) and should not influence the electrodes performances. This paper presents a novel technique to functionalize recording neural probes with hyaluronic acid (HyA), a major component of the extracellular matrix (ECM). HyA and the probe surface are both modified to make the reaction feasible: HyA is chemically functionalized with SS-pyridine groups while the probe surfaces are silanized. The thiol groups thus introduced on the probe surface can then react with the HyA SS-pyridine group, resulting in a covalent bonding of the latter on the former. The electrodes are protected by introducing a pretreatment step, namely an additional hyaluronic acid layer on the platinum electrode, prior to the silanization process, which was found to be effective in reducing electrode impedance under optimized conditions.
Review of machine learning and signal processing techniques for automated electrode selection in high-density microelectrode arrays
Authors: Van Dijck Gert , Van Hulle Marc M. 
Published: May 2014

AbstractRecently developed CMOS-based microprobes contain hundreds of electrodes on a single shaft with interelectrode distances as small as 30 µm. So far, neuroscientists manually select a subset of those electrodes depending on their appraisal of the “usefulness” of the recorded signals, which makes the process subjective but more importantly too time consuming to be useable in practice. The ever-increasing number of recording electrodes on microelectrode probes calls for an automated selection of electrodes containing “good quality signals” or “signals of interest.” This article reviews the different criteria for electrode selection as well as the basic signal processing steps to prepare the data to compute those criteria. We discuss three of them. The first two select the electrodes based on “signal quality.” The first criterion computes the penalized signal-to-noise ratio (SNR); the second criterion models the neuroscientist’s appraisal of signal quality. Last, our most recent work allows the selection of electrodes that capture particular anatomical cell types. The discussed algorithms perform what is called in the literature “electronic depth control” in contrast to the mechanical repositioning of the electrode shafts in search of “good quality signals” or “signals of interest.”

Published: May 2014

Abstract
Roland Barthes (1987) claimed that the creation of myth is the essence in mass media. Demystifying an advertisement for KONKA mobile phones uncovers the manipulation process of an ad campaign and finds that ads are designed to create myth today so as to exert influence upon their readers’ values and consumption habits
On Cognitive and Semiotic Functions of Shifters
Authors: Grishakova Marina 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Shifters or referential deictics combine referential and indexical functions. As compared to non-referential deictics, functioning as spatio-temporal markers, shifters index speech events in relation to the narrated events and trigger shifts between referential domains: they alter the referential or experiential grounding of events and produce the effect of“ lamination”. In this paper I argue that Jakobson’s and Jespersen’s approach allows for a broad semiotic understanding of shifters as (1) cognitive operators, prototypical ways in which embodied mind relates to the world, and (2) fictional operators, or specific functions of fictional storytelling.
Sign Systems Studies and the Semiotic Journals of the World
Authors: Kull Kalevi , Maran Timo 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article provides a brief overview of the journal Sign Systems Studies, apparently the oldest journal of semiotics in the world. It was established by Juri Lotman in 1964, produced in Tartu and published by the University of Tartu Press. In addition, we provide a list of all semiotic journals currently published in the world, which includes 46 titles; from these 39 are printed on paper (among them 6 international journals on general semiotics, 14 specialized in some branch of semiotics, and 19 regional semiotics journals). Seven journals appear exclusively on the web. Altogether these journals publish articles in 16 languages.
The Hidden Narrator: A Semiotic Reconstruction of the Narrative Actor Network
Authors: Hoven Paul van den 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The narrator is the organizing other. In a conscious interaction with the narrator the interpreter articulates and develops his identity. When an interpreter disregards the narrator, he perceives a situation as objectively there, he perceives a situation as "trivial" or as entirely a product of his subjectivity. When however an interpreter consciously interacts with the narrator, he acknowledges his sociocultural determination and can therefore further develop his socioculturally embedded subjective " theory". When an interpreter consciously attempts to escape this subjective theory, he enters the realm of the "aesthetic".
In this paper an argument is developed that these complex relations between trivial interpretation, theoretical interpretation and aesthetic interpretation fit into a semiotic model. The model is introduced and summarized. The model is then used to explain how semiotic polyphony raises theoretical awareness, how theoretical awareness may open the realm of the aesthetic and how overlooking the narrator results in the trivial.
These semiotics of the trivial are illustrated twofold. To underpin the relation to Western modernity we will briefly analyze the invisibility of the judge as a narrator in Western judicial argumentation. To underpin the relation to cultural literacy we will analyze the invisibility of the dynamics of the camera as a narrator in the Western world of moving pictures.
Both " hide and do not seek" plays seduce the interpreter to disregard the indexical and symbolic in his interpretation. He disregards his ongoing dialogue with the organizing other. The narrator hides and the interpreter does not seek. To restore the awareness of the narrator requires forms of literacy.
Biosemiotics and Self-Referential Loops
Authors: Fernandez Eliseo 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This paper explores the various ways in which selfreferential loops are tacitly embedded in the interplay of some of the most basic and foundational notions of biosemiotics-notions ordinarily conveyed through the informal use of such terms as " signification", "information", and "purpose". The examination proceeds by proposing a new way of understanding Peirce's account of the triadic nature of semiosis. The manifold correlations that link representamens to their objects and interpretants are clarified through the disclosure and articulation of the implicit function of self-referential relations in semiotic action. These ideas are initially discussed at the level of human language and are subsequently generalized to the level of biosemiotics. This generalization is reached by considering how the disclosed correlations can be partially extended to the sphere of those basic semiotic transactions that obtain within and between organisms and among organic systems in general.
In a separate section there follows a brief account of the explicit role of self-referential processes in Robert Rosen's modeling of organisms in terms of non-formalizable circularity, as clarified and expanded in a recent revival of his ideas through the work of several authors. The triadic structures within semiotic transactions and those arising in Rosen's (M, R)-systems are compared.
Finally some realizations springing from the preceding discussions are pointed out. One is the need to integrate the conceptual restructuration sought by biosemiotics into a wider conception of natural philosophy-into a view that is receptive to new epistemic insights disclosed by current physics and mathematics. Another advances a heuristic strategy for reaching that goal.
The Pragmatic Maxim and the Idea of Necessity in Mathematical Inquiry
Authors: Cooke Elizabeth F. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
In this paper we examine the pragmatic meaning of mathematical necessity. While Peirce writes extensively on the pragmatic meaning of a "would be", he does not provide a developed account of the pragmatic meaning of a mathematical "must be". After examining several possibilities such as information relative accounts, conceivability, the ideal world, and possible worlds accounts, we consider mathematical necessity in terms of his overall pragmatism whereby metaphysical notions are understood in terms of their pragmatic effects, and, in particular, their role in inquiry. We argue that mathematical necessity should be considered a regulative hypothesis. Peirce often addresses questions of modality, such as whether to posit real possibility or physical necessity, by appealing to what is good for inquiry. Just as the hypothesis of the real world constrains and directs inquiry in science, positing the reality of mathematical possibility (or what Peirce sometimes calls " substantive possibility") can also be seen to constrain and direct mathematical inquiry as well as natural science. The necessity of mathematics may, in the end, be stipulated in the form of a hypothesis, just as the reality of the natural world functions as a hypothesis in Peirce's system. The effect of positing this ideal world of substantive possibility lies both in its effects within mathematical inquiry, and ultimately within the natural sciences as mathematical conclusions constrain the hypotheses we see fit to entertain.
Signs and Phenomena: Phenomenological-Semiotic Considerations
Authors: Waldenfels Bernhard 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Both phenomenology and semiotics have to do with the basic question as to how our experience functions. But considering the fact that phenomenology tries to go back to the intuitively given things themselves, whereas semiotics stress the mediating role of signs, there remains a certain tension between both approaches. This tension leads to unbridgeable conflicts only if one side tries to dominate or to replace the other. In this case the extreme attempt to proceed ultimately without using signs clashes with the opposite presumption that basically everything is made of signs or words. However, in my view we should and can seek the so-called things themselves through the medium of signs, of words, and of pictures and so on. There is an intermediary sphere closely connected with our own body and with the relations between one’s own and the Other’s body. This basic assumption shall be tested by referring to a series of key issues like saying and showing, materiality of signs, sign and trace, sign and affect, use and creation of signs. We will cite authors such as Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida and Wittgenstein and, on the other side, authors such as Bakhtin, Bühler, Jacobson and Peirce. As to the bridging over civilisations, our considerations by no means leads to a global form of being everywhere, but rather to the chance to be at once here and elsewhere, leaving room for singularity and otherness.
A Sociolinguistic View of Animal Names in Idiomatic Expressions in Chinese and French
Authors: Xu Yuehong 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This paper attempts to explore animal names1 in Chinese and/or French idiomatic expressions in the light of representation (la représentation), a notion interpreted by French sociolinguist Henri Boyer.2 As linguistic phenomena are believed to be rooted in society and explained by the latter, animal names in different languages could be culturally loaded via their figurative/symbolic significations, due to the representations associated with animal referents in a given society. On the premise that animal referents generally exist in the physical world, the representations of animals would be formed on the basis of animals’ appearances, their habits and their relations with other animals, especially in accordance with the observation and the exploitation of animals by human beings in social life, and might be eventually enhanced, modified or even created in the common imagination. Besides animal referents as objects of human cognition, the other reason accounting for animal representations could be that human beings tend to attribute their moral values and spiritual expectances to the animals around them.
Advertisements of Cars as Semiotic Signs
Authors: Sorvali Irma 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze verbal and pictorial signs in advertisements of cars, collected from Finnish newspapers in the 1950s and 2010s. The semiotic study of the material is based on the sign theory of Charles S. Peirce. The collection also opens a possibility to a micro-historical analysis, where the methodological emphasis lies more on quality than quantity. Finally, the car in urban society is considered as a kind of a Bakhtinian chronotope. The language variants, photos, pictures and other illustrations reveal interesting features in the advertisements, and they also show some social and cultural contrasts. There are only few human beings pictured in the advertisements, and the advertisements have, moreover, a clear masculine label. The car was a great dream for young people in post-war Finland in the 1950s, and that is why the pictures of cars had a great symbolic value in the society with a low number of car owners. From being a more or less luxurious vehicle of the higher social class, the car has become a vehicle for almost everyone. Internationally, the car has played a central role in the industrialized society, a role with an increasing effect even today.
