description: In this work, we study the indenter geometrical effects on the nanoindentation and scratch behaviors of polymers (epoxy resin and its based nanocomposites) through both experimental and numerical approaches. Two different types of indenter commonly used in nanoindentation tests, Berkovich (i.e., three-sided pyramid-shaped) and conical-shaped, are studied. An indenter (tip) geometry reconstruction procedure is presented and the results are input into finite element models to better understand the mechanisms of the geometrical effects on nanoindentation. The effect of indenter geometry on nanoscratch behavior is also investigated experimentally. Overall, our results show that the corrected Oliver and Pharr's method is applicable to nanoindentation of polymeric surfaces and the indenter geometry plays significant roles in both the nanoindentation and nanoscratch tests. The conical-shaped indenter provides slightly overestimated mechanical parameters for the polymers tested due to the material pile-up. Therefore, for nanoindentation and scratch tests, the type of indenter should always be mentioned and comparisons between tests using different types of indenter should be taken with caution.

Address pronouns in French: variation within and outside the workplace
Creators: name: Warren, Jane
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This article examines speakers perceptions of and attitudes towards address pronoun usage in Paris and Toulouse. The data on which this article is based come from a comparative project based at the University of Melbourne, Address in some westernEuropean languages, and were generated in focus groups in both Paris and Toulouse, as well as interviews in Paris. It is generally accepted that in France the informal pronominal address form tu is used within the family, with close friends and with youngsters, and that the formal address form vous is used by adults when addressing strangers. The findings presented here indicate that, outside these general tendencies, individual preferences and negotiation can inform the choice of address pronoun in different ways both within and outside the workplace, with individual variation more common outside the work domain.

description: The indoor recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) is a sustainable alternative to traditional aquaculture systems, and a biofilter is a crucial component for the stable operation of this system. In this study, the bacterial communities within different sections of the biofilter in a full-scale RAS for the culture of Tongue Sole Cynoglossus semilaevis were investigated using polymerase chain reaction–based 454 pyrosequencing. A total of 67,368 effective sequences of the 16S rRNA gene with V1–V3 regions were obtained from samples collected from the front section, rear section, and sludge of the biofilter. Using a 3% cut-off level and sufficient sequencing depth, a total of 5,185 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified in these sequences across all samples. However, a low shared richness of 570 OTUs (11.0% of the reads) was found in all samples, indicating a high diversity of bacterial profiles even in a single biofilter. Based on the SILVA database classifier of phylogenetic taxa, Proteobacteria (average, 35.6%) and Bacteroidetes (average, 30.7%) were found to be the predominant species in all samples, followed by Nitrospirae (6.0%) in the front section, Acidobacteria (7.9%) in the rear section, and Planctomycetes (9.7%) in the sludge. Overall, 404 genera were assigned to all samples. But among the 10 most common genera, only Nitrospira, Owenweeksia, and Marinicella were found in all samples. The results of the phylogenetic analysis suggest that the nitrifying groups of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria belong to Nitrosomonas clusters, and the nitrite-oxidizing bacteria are related to Nitrospira and Nitrospina clusters. In summary, our results indicate that the RAS fixed-film biofilter is a highly species-rich ecosystem. For this reason, a potential precision-operated strategy to manage the microbial resources in the biological treatment section in an RAS should be adopted, with consideration being given to the peculiarities and requirements of the species being cultured.Received October 26, 2014; accepted February 5, 2015

The use of address pronouns among Finnish and Finland-Swedish students
Creators: name: Nyblom, Heidi
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This article examines the use and choice of address pronouns among Finnish and Finland-Swedish students in various situations. The study is based on a questionnaire on address usage distributed to university students in the city of Vaasa in Finland. The aim of the study is to investigate potential differences between the use of T and V in Finnish and Finland-Swedish and to compare the results with those of a recent study on address in Sweden-Swedish. The results reveal that the Finland-Swedish students use V somewhat less than the Finnish students. The Finland-Swedes also use V in fewer contexts, primarily in service situations and occasionally to strangers and public authorities. The Finnish students use V in the same contexts as the Finland-Swedish, but they also use V to older people. Copyright 2006 Heidi Nyblom.

THE UNIVERSAL AS A VERTICAL HORIZON IN JUDITH BUTLER'S POLITICAL THOUGHT
Creators: name: Costa, Ivo Fernando da
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019
Subjects: Butler; politics; universal; normativity; postmodernism; feminism.

description: The article examines the following interpretive hypothesis: from the formulation of the concept of “precariousness” in Precarious Life (2004), Judith Butler's thought undergoes a inflection towards a ethical-political foundation normatively understood and previously rejected by the author as evidenced in her debate with Nancy Fraser and Seyla Benhabib in the 1990s. It is therefore a matter of questioning the impact of this theoretical mutation on the notions of universal and subject that are embedded in the argumentative lines of the author’s texts, thus establishing “precariousness” and “co-dependence” as ethical-political conditions that should guide political guidelines aimed at making life possible and viable. The article is divided into three moments: 1) the universal denied in form and content; 2) The universal affirmed in its form, but denied in its content; 3) the universal materially and formally affirmed. It will also address the different notions of subject that emerge from each of these three understandings of universal.

description: Studies of the language we use to talk about pain pain language have hitherto been mainly confined to medical disciplines, and there has been little research in the literature in linguistics and applied linguistics. The appearance of a major new study on pain language, Chryssoula Lascaratous The language of pain, presents an opportunity for a review of the book in the context of an overview of this highly complex inter-disciplinary field. The quantitative, word-based MsGill Pain Questionnaire is summarized as a diagnostic instrument from the point of view of language, and compared to Lascaratous corpus-based investigation of the use of pain language in Modern Greek conversations between doctors and patients. The focus of this research is on the lexico-grammatical structuring of pain language, and the representation of pain in terms of cognitive metaphors. Copyright 2009 Roland Sussex.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: This study investigates the variation in oral proficiency demonstrated by 14 Air Traffic Controllers across two types of testing tasks: work-related radio telephony-based tasks and non-specific English tasks on aviation topics. Their performance was compared statistically in terms of level ratings on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) scale. The results demonstrate significant differences in the performance of the test-takers across task types, differences that were not fully predictable across subjects. The differences between general English proficiency and specific purpose proficiency were even greater than those we would expect for other LSP situations. We discuss the implications of these findings for fairly and safely assessing Aviation English using ICAO standards in a politicized context. Copyright 2009 Carol Lynn Moder and Gene B. Halleck.

description: Microbial nitrification and denitrification are responsible for the majority of soil nitrous (N2O) emissions. In this study, N2O emissions were measured and the abundance of ammonium oxidizers and denitrifiers were quantified in purple soil in a long-term fertilization experiment to explore their relationships. The average N2O fluxes and abundance of the amoAgene in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria during the observed dry season were highest when treated with mixed nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer (NPK) and a single N treatment (N) using NH4HCO3as the sole N source; lower values were obtained using organic manure with pig slurry and added NPK at a ratio of 40%:60% (OMNPK),organic manure with pig slurry (OM) and returning crop straw residue plus synthetic NH4HCO3fertilizer at a ratio of 15%:85% (SRNPK). The lowest N2O fluxes were observed in the treatment that used crop straw residue(SR) and in the control with no fertilizer (CK). Soil NH4+provides the substrate for nitrification generating N2O as a byproduct. The N2O flux was significantly correlated with the abundance of the amoA gene in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (r = 0.984, p < 0.001), which was the main driver of nitrification. During the wet season, soil nitrate (NO3−) and soil organic matter (SOC) were found positively correlated with N2O emissions (r = 0.774, p = 0.041 and r = 0.827, p = 0.015, respectively). The nirS gene showed a similar trend with N2O fluxes. These results show the relationship between the abundance of soil microbes and N2O emissions and suggest that N2O emissions during the dry season were due to nitrification, whereas in wet season, denitrification might dominate N2O emission.

description: The significance of product recovery through remanufacturing has been widely recognized and has compelled manufacturers to incorporate product recovery activities into normal manufacturing processes. Consequently, increasing attention has been paid to production and inventory management of the product recovery system where demand is satisfied through either manufacturing brand-new products or remanufacturing returned products into new ones. In this work, we investigate a recovery system with two product types and two return flows. A periodic-review inventory problem is addressed in the two-product recovery system and an approximate dynamic programming approach is proposed to obtain production and recovery decisions. A single-period problem is first solved and the optimal solution is characterized by a multilevel threshold policy. For the multi-period problem, we show that the threshold levels of each period are solely dependent on the gradients of the cost-to-go function at points of interest after approximation. The gradients are estimated by an infinitesimal perturbation analysis–based method and a backward induction approach is then applied to derive the threshold levels of each period. Numerical experiments are conducted under different scenarios and the threshold policy is shown to outperform two other heuristic policies.

Applied linguistics in "dialogue" with hermeneutics in discoursing "the intercultural" in educational praxis
Creators: name: Papademetre, Leo
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Ever since the Socratic-Platonic inquiry on the nature of language, linguistic and socio-cultural thinking in Eurocentric academic cultures about human communication has been discoursed from various philosophical perspectives based on diverse conceptualisations, perceptions, understandings, notions, theories, descriptions and explanations of the variable phenomena observed in intra- and intercultural interaction and communication. In the variable research areas of applied linguistics scholars from a variety of disciplines have applied themselves to defining what the nature of intercultural communication might be and how it might be taught (Kramsch, 2002, p. 277). However, in the concerted effort to apply our understanding of the intercultural in our research and educational praxis, we have no other recourse but discourse itself the discourse of [our] discipline, laid out on the page as disciplinary truth. And that, as James Clifford (Clifford, 1988) would say, is the predicament of culture (Kramsch, 2002, p. 282). In the following essay, this predicament is examined in the contexts of the discourse tradition which centres on dialogue as a valued means of understanding self-and-other intra-and-inter-culturally. Discussion will focus on how dialogue can impose situated/positioned ways of interpreting and understanding the intercultural in languages education, especially when it defers engaging with variable-linguisticality and variable-traditionality in its discourse tradition.

description: This preliminary study examines the languages used by parents with their children in Malay, Chinese Foochow and Indian Tamil families to find out how the similarity or dissimilarity in parents ethnic language influenced the choice of language transmitted to children and how far standard languages have permeated the family domain in Kuching City in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. Standard languages refer to the three main written languages taught in the school system, namely, English, Bahasa Malaysia (Malay language) and Chinese Mandarin. Interviews were conducted with 17 families (6 Malay, 6 Chinese Foochow, 5 Indian Tamil). The results showed that the ethnic language is mostly still retained in the Malay and Indian Tamil families but has been pushed out by English and Mandarin Chinese in Chinese Foochow families. English has emerged in parental communication with children to different extents across ethnic group. Bahasa Malaysia, on the other hand, is spoken in Malay families with parents from West Malaysia. Factors found to be influencing the parental decision on language to use with their children include similarity/dissimilarity of the couples ethnic languages, their educational background, family and social linguistic environment, instrumental value of languages and ethnic identity.

description: Since MDM2 is an inhibitor of the p53 tumor suppressor, disrupting the MDM2-p53 interaction is a promising approach for cancer therapy. Here, we used molecular dynamics simulations followed by free energy decomposition analysis to study conformational changes in MDM2 induced by three known spiro-oxindole inhibitors. Analysis of individual energy terms suggests that van der Waals and electrostatic interactions explain much of the binding affinities of these inhibitors. Binding free energies calculated for the three inhibitors using the molecular mechanics-generalized Born surface area model were consistent with experimental data, suggesting the validity of this approach. Based on this structure-function analysis, several novel spiro-oxindole derivatives were selected and evaluated for their ability to block the MDM2-p53 interaction in vitro. These results suggest that combining in silico and experimental techniques can provide insights into the structure-function relationships of MDM2 inhibitors and guide the rational design of anticancer drugs targeting the MDM2-p53 interaction.

description: Recently, the robustification of principal component analysis (PCA) has attracted lots of attention from statisticians, engineers, and computer scientists. In this work, we study the type of outliers that are not necessarily apparent in the original observation space but can seriously affect the principal subspace estimation. Based on a mathematical formulation of such transformed outliers, a novel robust orthogonal complement principal component analysis (ROC-PCA) is proposed. The framework combines the popular sparsity-enforcing and low-rank regularization techniques to deal with row-wise outliers as well as element-wise outliers. A nonasymptotic oracle inequality guarantees the accuracy and high breakdown performance of ROC-PCA in finite samples. To tackle the computational challenges, an efficient algorithm is developed on the basis of Stiefel manifold optimization and iterative thresholding. Furthermore, a batch variant is proposed to significantly reduce the cost in ultra high dimensions. The article also points out a pitfall of a common practice of singular value decomposition (SVD) reduction in robust PCA. Experiments show the effectiveness and efficiency of ROC-PCA in both synthetic and real data. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: The interest to investigate the turnover intentions of academic librarians in Zimbabwe stems from the fact the labour market in Zimbabwe is characterized by high levels of employee turnover and increasing low levels job security. Academic libraries like any other employer have therefore found themselves wanting in providing adequate services including adequately remunerating their employees thus leaving the employees with no option but to look beyond their employers as a source of livelihood. An e-questionnaire was designed purposively targeting 65 academic librarians in 10 state owned and 3 private universities across Zimbabwe. Additional data was gathered by purposively sampling 6 senior librarians for interviews to triangulate the data gathered through the e-questionnaires. Salaries and conditions of service, job performance, career growth, work environment, job satisfaction, supervisory style, promotional opportunities, and employee commitment were identified as the factors shaping turnover intentions of academic librarians in Zimbabwe.
Pronouns of address in Western Ukrainian: between tradition and modernity

description: This article examines the current usage of terms of address in the Western Ukrainian variety of the Ukrainian language. It investigates the use of pronominal (ty intimate form; [Vy polite, distant form) and nominal forms of address (such as first name, fathers name, surname, title, pan/pani (Mr/Mrs), tovary (Comrade) etc.) in Western Ukrainian, as well as strategies to avoid direct address, through quantitative (questionnaires) and qualitative (oral discussion) data. The data were analysed using both descriptive and interpretive methods. A set of factors that determine address choice in Ukrainian was isolated and a model was developed which reflects the hierarchical relationships and mutual influences between these factors. The factors were divided into key factors (age, style of upbringing, personal value system, gender, and political convictions) and factors of interaction (relative age, relative status, setting, social distance, and kinship). Combining different address habits and the weight of pragmatic factors in the choice of address forms, the analysis demonstrates that two tendencies currently exist. Some people are traditionalists who adhere to fairly conservative patterns of address, whereas others are brought up more liberally and tend to have a more relaxed attitude towards the choice of address terms.

description: There is a common expectation, particularly amongst international students, that studying in an English-medium university should automatically produce a significant improvement in their English language skills. However, there is growing evidence to suggest that this is not necessarily the case.This paper reports on a study which investigated the impact of one semester of study at a university on the English language proficiency of a sample of 40 international students. This was measured by comparing the students scores on a diagnostic English language test at the beginning and end of their first semester. A comparison of discourse measures of writing in terms of fluency, complexity and accuracy was also undertaken. Background information, including details of ESL support, if any, was collected for all participants via questionnaires, and interviews were conducted with a subset of the participants.It was found that studying in an English-medium university generally led to an improvement in English language proficiency. The paper identifies a number of factors which appear to support language development, as well as factors that may inhibit it. Copyright 2007 Neomy Storch and Kathryn Hill.

description: Recently, the robustification of principal component analysis has attracted lots of attention from statisticians, engineers and computer scientists. In this work we study the type of outliers that are not necessarily apparent in the original observation space but can seriously affect the principal subspace estimation. Based on a mathematical formulation of such transformed outliers, a novel robust orthogonal complement principal component analysis (ROC-PCA) is proposed. The framework combines the popular sparsity-enforcing and low rank regularization techniques to deal with row-wise outliers as well as element-wise outliers. A non-asymptotic oracle inequality guarantees the accuracy and high breakdown performance of ROC-PCA in finite samples. To tackle the computational challenges, an efficient algorithm is developed on the basis of Stiefel manifold optimization and iterative thresholding. Furthermore, a batch variant is proposed to significantly reduce the cost in ultra high dimensions. The paper also points out a pitfall of a common practice of SVD reduction in robust PCA. Experiments show the effectiveness and efficiency of ROC-PCA in both synthetic and real data. This article has supplementary material online.

Macro-level policy and micro-level planning: afrikaans-speaking immigrants in New Zealand

description: This article reports on a study which investigated the language lives of Afrikaans-speaking South African immigrants in New Zealand. Particularly, it focuses on their awareness of and attitudes to language policy in both South Africa and New Zealand, and how these influence their own and their familys language practices. Narrative interviews with 28 participants living in towns and cities across New Zealand reveal that while living in South Africa they were generally aware of macro-level language policies in the country, and were able to articulate how these policies influenced language practices at work and within their families. The absence of an explicit national language policy in New Zealand means that these immigrants, on arrival in New Zealand, base their understanding of the linguistic context in the country on the language practices that they observe in their day-to-day lives. It is these observations which guide their decision-making with regard to their own and their familys language practices. Copyright 2006 Gary Barkhuizen and Ute Knoch.

description: We have developed a statistical method named IsoDOT to assess differential isoform expression (DIE) and differential isoform usage (DIU) using RNA-seq data. Here isoform usage refers to relative isoform expression given the total expression of the corresponding gene. IsoDOT performs two tasks that cannot be accomplished by existing methods: to test DIE/DIU with respect to a continuous covariate, and to test DIE/DIU for one case versus one control. The latter task is not an uncommon situation in practice, for example, comparing the paternal and maternal alleles of one individual or comparing tumor and normal samples of one cancer patient. Simulation studies demonstrate the high sensitivity and specificity of IsoDOT. We apply IsoDOT to study the effects of haloperidol treatment on the mouse transcriptome and identify a group of genes whose isoform usages respond to haloperidol treatment.

description: As a result of investigations showing that communication problems can be a significant contributing factor to major aviation accidents, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has established a set of Language Proficiency Requirements. All pilots and air traffic controllers engaged in international aviation must be certified by their national civil aviation authorities as meeting the requirements by March 2011. This has created a demand for tests designed to assess the speaking and listening skills of aviation personnel, and language testers have become involved as developers and evaluators of the various assessment instruments. The present paper gives an overview of the issues and introduces the themes discussed by the other contributors to this special issue of the journal, covering both the linguistic nature of aviation communication and more practical considerations in test design.
