description: Drawing on the ethnographic study of the Norwegian Facebook group Yes to wearing the cross whenever and wherever I choose, this article focuses on the emotive performance of conflict. The author delves into the multitude of ways in which emotion appears to drive the conflict(s) in Yes to wearing the cross whenever and wherever I choose. This Facebook group, by virtue of dealing with religion and identity issues contains typical trigger themes, which may lead audiences to emotively enact conflict. Still, these modes of enactment of conflict cannot be understood as a characteristic of religious strife alone. Drawing on Papacharissi’s concept of ‘affective publics’ this article compares the modes of conflict performance, the most salient frames, trigger themes, and emotive cues in this Facebook group to findings from other studies about mediatized conflict. The analysis demonstrates that mediatized conflicts appear to be emotively performed in very similar, at times even identical ways, across a variety of themes and contexts. Participatory media audiences’ tendency to remediate conflicts in ways that draw on an abundance of emotional cues appears to be integral to the enactment of mediatized conflicts. It is argued that we ought to speak not only of affective publics but also of the politics of affect.

description: An effective scheme of isostructural alloying was applied to establish a Curie-temperature window in isostructural MnNiGe-CoNiGe system. With the simultaneous accomplishment of decreasing structural-transition temperature and converting antiferromagnetic martensite to ferromagnetic state, a 200 K Curie-temperature window was established between Curie temperatures of austenite and martensite phases. In the window, a first-order magnetostructural transition between paramagnetic austenite and ferromagnetic martensite occurs with a sharp jump in magnetization, showing a magnetic entropy change as large as -40 J kg-1 K-1 in a 50 kOe field change. This giant magnetocaloric effect enables Mn1-xCoxNiGe to become a potential magnetic refrigerant.

title: The relationship of the construction sector to economic growth: analysis of South African and UK construction sectors
Creators: name: Dlamini, Sitsabo
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2014

description: Construction is considered a major sector of the economy throughout the world. It accounts for about 10% of most countries’ gross domestic product (GDP). Its sheer size and role in economic growth is used to justify its importance. The importance of the construction sector in both national and world economies is unclear. Three growth theories are mobilized to explain the relationship of the construction sector to economic growth: Harrod–Domar, Solow and endogenous growth models. The theory of market and government failure is also used in order to explain public sector intervention in construction activity. The fundamental dynamics of the construction sector are studied in relation to economic growth, with a view to ascertaining if there is a basis for national governments to stimulate economic growth through investment in construction. This will enable policy makers to make better use of the construction sector. Time series statistical analysis of total construction output (TCO) and GDP data for South Africa and the UK reveal that a positive short run relationship between the construction sector and economic growth does exist, subject to other factors being equal. However, empirical evidence suggests that there is no obvious link between construction investment and economic growth. While the growth theories show that construction influences investment, which is a major factor in determining economic growth, the growth process per se is a complex phenomenon. Public sector investment in construction activity is necessary to fill the gaps of market failure left by the private sector, but the existence of government failure undermines such intervention.

Представлены потенциальные агроресурсы региона, состояние и уровень производства отрасли сельского хозяйства на данный момент, на научной основе изложены методологические подходы ведения хозяйственной деятельности на принципах адаптивно-ландшафтного земледелия. Проведена типизация пашни в агроландшафтах Волгоградской области с учетом биоклиматического потенциала территорий землепользования. Особое значение придается распределению пашни по уклонам, так как роль рельефа в варьировании величины урожая очень велика и составляет 40-70%, а в зависимости от эродированности почвы урожай может снижаться на 10-80%. Существует определенная корреляция между урожайностью зерновых культур и свойствами почвы. В частности, улучшение пищевого режима и повышение окультуренности почв способствуют снижению негативного влияния засухи на урожайность зерновых культур. В Федеральном научном центре агроэкологии РАН разработан метод дифференциации пашни по интенсивности использования, где в качестве основного критерия уровня плодородия почвы принята обеспеченность пахотного слоя общим гумусом. Выделено 4 градации: окультуренная, оптимальная, околокритическая и критическая. В конечном итоге освоение адаптивно-ландшафтных подходов подтверждено результатами практического земледелия.
The Word Has Become Game: Researching Religion in Digital Games
Creators: name: Bosman, Frank G.
Publisher: name: Institute for Religious Studies, University of Heidelberg
Year: 2016
Subjects: Methodology, narratology, ludology, religion, theology.

description: In this article, the author proposes a multi-layered methodology for researching religion in video games. The author differentiates between five levels at which religion can be encountered in video games and/or video game research: material, referential, reflexive, ritual and meta level. These levels range from explicitly religious to implicitly religious, from game-immanent to game-transcendent, and from developer-intended to gamer-experienced. In this context, the author proposes a four-step methodology, which incorporates insights from both game-immanent and actor-centered approaches: internal reading (playing the game), internal research (collection of in-game information), external reading (mapping the intermedial relationships), and external research (gathering out-game information). Before doing so, the author proposes a new definition of video games as ‘digital, playable (narrative) texts’ that incorporate both ludological and narratological elements.

description: Despite a recent transparency law and participation in transparency initiatives, Cameroon’s investment environment remains plagued by poor transparency. In this report focusing on agribusiness projects in Cameroon, CCSI and the Centre pour l’Environnement et le Développement (CED) find that communities continue to be excluded from decision-making around investments, and face challenges in securing legal protection of their legitimate tenure rights. As a result, the government faces threats to its legitimacy as the grievances of citizens and investors alike lead to the barring of roads by communities and investor withdrawals. CCSI and CED therefore call for a new law concerning the governance of land and land-based investment in Cameroon, and a national moratorium on any new approvals for large-scale agribusiness and other land-based investment projects until Cameroon’s legal and policy landscape has been reformed.

description: Формирование современного термического режима рек Верхнего Дона происходит в условиях регионального изменения климата, являющегося откликом на глобальные климатические вызовы. Увеличение среднегодовой температуры воздуха приземного слоя атмосферы Верхнего Дона в среднем почти на 1°С в первом десятилетии текущего столетия меняет тепловой режим речной воды, в свою очередь отражающего постоянное взаимодействие двух сфер географической оболочки - атмосферы и гидросферы. Одновременно водные массы контактируют с ложем водного объекта, что также отражается на тепловом состоянии воды. В условиях постоянного взаимодействия и взаимовлияния различных сред тепловое состояние атмосферы далеко не всегда оказывается ведущим фактором в динамике температуры речной воды. При однонаправленной тенденции в динамике региональной температуры воздуха и ее повышении на всей водосборной площади Дона характер ответной реакции в температуре воды оказывается неоднозначным и даже противоречивым. В правобережных притоках Дона - рр. Красивая Меча, Девица, Черная Калитва и др., стекающих в главную реку со Среднерусской возвышенности, максимальная температура воды устойчиво снижается. В левобережных притоках Дона - рр. Воронеж, Битюг, впадающих в Дон с Окско-Донской низменной равнины, температура повышается. В р. Подгорная, также левобережном притоке, но стекающем в Дон с Калачской возвышенности, температура снижается. В собственном русле реки Дон фиксируется некоторое увеличение температуры. Неоднозначная реакция температуры поверхностного слоя воды объясняется внутригодовым перераспределением речного стока, снижением объемов снегового питания, возрастанием доли и роли подземного питания в период формирования максимумов температуры воды.
Resolved Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of WISE J104915.57-531906.1AB: A Flux-Reversal Binary at the L dwarf/T dwarf Transition

description: We report resolved near-infrared spectroscopy and photometry of the recently identified brown dwarf binary WISE J104915.57-531906.1AB, located 2.02+/-0.15 pc from the Sun. Low-resolution spectral data from Magellan/FIRE and IRTF/SpeX reveal strong H2O and CO absorption features in the spectra of both components, with the secondary also exhibiting weak CH4 absorption at 1.6 micron and 2.2 micron. Spectral indices and comparison to low-resolution spectral standards indicate component types of L7.5 and T0.5, the former consistent with the optical classification of the primary. Relative photometry reveals a flux reversal between the J- and K-bands, with the T dwarf component being brighter in the 0.95--1.3 micron range. As with other L/T transition binaries, this reversal likely reflects significant depletion of condensate opacity across the transition, a behavior that may be enhanced in WISE J1049-5319AB if the unusual red color of its L dwarf component is indicative of thick clouds. On the other hand, differing cloud properties may have modified the evolutionary paths of these two components, and we propose a scenario in which the cooler secondary could be the more massive of the two components. Fortunately, the proximity, brightness and small separation (3.12+/-0.25 AU) of this system make it amenable to astrometric and radial velocity orbit measurement during its estimated 25 yr orbit, providing a rare opportunity for the direct determination of individual brown dwarf masses and a unique benchmark for studying cloud evolution across the L dwarf/T dwarf transition.

description: ESRA, the Entertainment Software Rating Association, is the name of Iran’s computer games age rating system introduced in 2008 by its video game association IRCG. This new rating system is based on what this country deems as social, psychological and religious norms and values and is the only games age rating system in the Middle East. It is now by far the most developed age rating system in the Muslim world that is based on the Islamic laws.

But based on what criteria is this system working – compared with other systems like USK or IARC? What procedure games go through before being classified and labeled? What have been the effects of the Islamic rules on the rating of the video games? What are the merits and demerits of this relatively new system?

description: Geomagnetical Prospection in (L)Ibida (Slava Rusă Tulcea County). Preliminary Results of the First Stage of a Joint Research Project by the Archaeological Institute Iaşi and the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen

The site Slava Rusă, identified with the Roman settlement Ibida, is with more than 24 hectare one of the most important fortified Roman settlements in the Romanian Dobruja (Moesia Inferior), providing especially finds from Late Antiquity. The joint research project envisages an exhaustive geophysical survey of the site and its surroundings. In a first stage the German-Romanian team focussed on certain areas extra muros and on a larger plot inside the fortification. While the results from the surveys north and south-west of the ancient city limits had been rather disappointing the prospection inside the city walls delivered very interesting results of the architecture during late antiquity. Several larger building complexes (“insulae”) and roads could be identified, a fact that encourages the team to intensify the collaboration in the near future.

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We review current theoretical and experimental efforts to identify a novel class of intermetallic 4f and 5f orbital materials in which strong interactions between itinerant and predominately localized degrees of freedom gives rise to a bulk insulating state at low temperatures, while the surface remains metallic. This effect arises due to inversion of even parity conduction bands and odd parity very narrow f-electron bands. The number of band inversions is mainly determined by the crystal symmetry of a material and the corresponding degeneracy of the hybridized f-electron bands. For odd number of band inversions the metallic surface states are chiral and therefore remain robust against disorder and time-reversal invariant perturbations. We discuss a number of unresolved theoretical issues specific to topological Kondo insulators and outline experimental challenges in probing the chiral surface states in these materials.

description: Deep ocean acoustics, in the absence of shipping and wildlife, is driven by surface processes. Best understood is the signal generated by non-linear surface wave interactions, the Longuet-Higgins mechanism, which dominates from 0.1 to 10 Hz, and may be significant for another octave. For this source, the spectral matrix of pressure and vector velocity is derived for points near the bottom of a deep ocean resting on an elastic half-space. In the absence of a bottom, the ratios of matrix elements are universal constants. Bottom effects vitiate the usual "standing wave approximation," but a weaker form of the approximation is shown to hold, and this is used for numerical calculations. In the weak standing wave approximation, the ratios of matrix elements are independent of the surface wave spectrum, but depend on frequency and the propagation environment. Data from the Hawaii-2 Observatory are in excellent accord with the theory for frequencies between 0.1 and 1 Hz, less so at higher frequencies. Insensitivity of the spectral ratios to wind, and presumably waves, is indeed observed in the data.

description: The eastern part of the Ventura Basin has
aroused the interest of geologists, professionals and
amateurs alike, for almost one hundred years. Much of
this attention has stemmed from the discovery of small
deposits of gold, and the completion of a few producing
oil wells within the area. Of more academia interest
are some problems presented by the stratigraphy and
paleontology of the region. These questions have been
debated at length by Stirton, Maxson, Kew, Jahns, and
others. References to these discussions are provided in
the bibliography.

The Ventura Basin is a structural trough
lying in the Transverse Range division of the Coast
Range province of California. As shown in Figure 1, the
specific part of the Ventura Basin discussed in this
report lies somewhat east of the center of the valley,
and northeast of the town of Newhall. The area is well
within the boundaries of Los Angeles County, and is easily accessible by US Highway 6, as well as by
numerous state and county roads. It lies 30 miles from the Los Angeles Civic Center.

This report deals with an area of approximately
twenty-six square miles, comprising parts of the Saugus,
Newhall, Sylmar and Humphries quadrangles mapped by the
United States Geological Survey. It is essentially
bounded by Bouquet, Placerita, Soledad, and Mint Canyons.
The settlements of Saugus-Pardee, Honby, Solamint,
St. Johns, and Forest Park are included within these
boundaries.

Use of a sampling feedback system for stabilization of low frequency oscillations in liquid monopropellant rocket motors
Creators: name: Fernandez, Raymond Caesar
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1953
Subjects: Aeronautics

description: Instability in liquid monopropellant rocket motors may be corrected by the use of a feedback servomechanism. This mechanism consists essentially of a pressure pickup which senses pressure oscillations in the combustion chamber, an amplifier and a variable capacitance in the feed line. It is shown that a feedback system with an arbitrary sampling circuit which causes the capacitance in the line to complete its own cycle of variation once for every several cycles of combustion pressure oscillations can be made to stabilize the oscillations for all values of combustion time lag for a particular motor. It is believed that this system of stabilization may be applied to monopropellant motors in general.

Algorithms

description: Deep learning has become the algorithm of choice in many applications like face recognition, object detection, speech recognition, etc. because of superior accuracy. Large models with several parameters were developed to obtain higher accuracy, which eventually gave diminishing returns at very large training and deployment cost. Consequently, greater attention is now being paid to the efficiency of neural networks. Low power consumption is particularly important in the case of always-on applications. Some examples of these applications are the datacenters, cellular base stations, battery-powered devices like implantable devices, wearables, cell phones and UAVs. Improvement in the efficiency of these devices by reducing the power consumed will bring down the energy cost or extend the battery life or decrease the form factor of these devices, thereby improving the acceptability and adoption of the device. Neural networks are a significant component of the total workload in the case of IoT devices with smart functions and datacenters. Base stations can also employ neural networks to improve the rate of convergence in channel estimation. Efficient execution of the neural networks on always-on devices, therefore, helps in lowering the overall power dissipation. Algorithm only solutions target CPU or GPU as a platform and tend to focus on the number of computing operations. Hardware only solutions tend to focus on programmability, low voltage operation, standby power reduction and on-chip data movement. Such solutions fail to take advantage of the joint optimization of both algorithm and hardware for the target application. This thesis contributes to improving the efficiency of neural networks on always-on devices through both algorithmic and hardware interventions. It presents works of algorithm-hardware co-design which can obtain better power reduction in the case of a smart IoT device, a datacenter and a small cell base station. It achieves power reduction through a combination of appropriate neural network algorithm and architecture, simpler operations and a reduction in the number of off-chip memory accesses.

description: Innovations in neural data recording techniques are revolutionizing neuroscience and presenting both challenges and opportunities for statistical data analysis. This dissertation discusses several recent advances in neural data signal processing, encoding, decoding, and dimension reduction. Chapter 1 introduces challenges in neural data science and common statistical methods used to address them. Chapter 2 develops a new method to detect neurons and extract signals from noisy calcium imaging data with irregular neuron shapes. Chapter 3 introduces a novel probabilistic framework for modeling deconvolved calcium traces. Chapter 4 proposes an improved Bayesian nonparametric extension of the hidden Markov model (HMM) that separates the strength of the self-persistence prior and transition prior. Chapter 5 introduces a more identifiable and interpretable latent variable model for Poisson observations. We develop efficient algorithms to fit each of the aforementioned methods and demonstrate their effectiveness on both simulated and real data.

description: We use an optimal estimator to study the variance of the WMAP 9 CMB field at low resolution, in both temperature and polarization. Employing realistic Monte Carlo simulation, we find statistically significant deviations from the $Λ$CDM model in several sky cuts for the temperature field. For the considered masks in this analysis, which cover at least the 54% of the sky, the WMAP 9 CMB sky and $Λ$CDM are incompatible at $ \ge 99.94%$ C.L. at large angles ($>5^\circ$). We find instead no anomaly in polarization. As a byproduct of our analysis, we present new, optimal estimates of the WMAP 9 CMB angular power spectra from the WMAP 9 year data at low resolution.

An Experimental Investigations of the Oscillations of an Airfoil Near a Sharp Velocity Gradient

description: The purpose of this study was to make an experimental investigation of the effect of a sharp velocity gradient on the oscillations of an airfoil. This information is pertinent to the formulation of theories for predicting tail buffeting. The test equipment was designed to provide conditions corresponding as closely as possible to those based on the assumptions of Lo in his theoretical study of an oscillating airfoil in parallel streams separated by an interface.

Because of the viscous nature of air, the assumptions of Lo could not be simulated sufficiently closely to permit an experimental check on his findings. The simulation, however, was adequate to provide for an experimental check on his fundamental point of view as an explanation of buffeting.

The presence of the high speed flutter predicted by theory was verified. Variations in the flutter speed and flutter frequency were noted as the position of the sharp velocity gradient relative to the airfoil was shifted, but these variations were not considered significant.

A low speed oscillation was found which the evidence available indicated was due to periodic vortices formed in the flow by the experimental set-up used to create the velocity gradient. Limitations on the minimum operating speed of the wind tunnel precluded a thorough investigation of the lower speeds in the low range.

The evidence found in this investigation, though not conclusive, indicates that buffeting is simply the response of an elastic system to a turbulent flow. No conclusive evidence was found to indicate that a sharp velocity gradient near an airfoil has any effect on the oscillations of the airfoil.

Further investigation of the airflow created by the experimental set-up used is recommended in order to explain precisely the oscillation phenomena encountered.

Green's functions, propagation invariants, reciprocity theorems, wave-field representations and propagator matrices in 2D time-dependent materials

description: The study of wave propagation and scattering in time-dependent materials is a rapidly growing field of research. Whereas for 1D applications there is a simple relation between the wave equations for space-dependent and time-dependent materials, this relation is less straightforward for multi-dimensional materials.
 This paper discusses fundamental aspects of 2D electromagnetic and acoustic wave propagation and scattering in homogeneous, time-dependent materials. This encompasses a review of transmission and reflection at a single time boundary, a discussion of the Green's function and its symmetry properties in a piecewise continuous time-dependent material, a discussion of propagation invariants (including the net field-momentum density), general reciprocity theorems, and wave field representations.
 Analogous to the well-known expression for Green's function retrieval by time-correlation of passive measurements in a space-dependent material, an expression is derived for Green's function retrieval by space-correlation of passive measurements in a time-dependent material.
 The paper concludes with the discussion of the propagator matrix for a piecewise continuous time-dependent material, its symmetry properties and its relation with the Green's function.

description: Weyl semimetals are gapless three-dimensional topological materials where two bands touch at even number of points in the Brillouin zone. In this work we study a zincblende lattice model realizing a time-reversal invariant Weyl semimetal. The bulk dynamics is decribed by twelve helical Weyl nodes. Surface states form a peculiar quasi two-dimensional helical metal fundamentally different from the Dirac form typical for topological insulators. Allowed direction of velocity and spin of low-energy surface excitations are locked to the cubic symmetry axes. The studied system illustrates general properties of surface states in systems with common crystal symmetries.

description: Image inpainting is currently a hot topic within the field of computer vision. It offers a viable solution for various applications, including photographic restoration, video editing, and medical imaging. Deep learning advancements, notably convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and generative adversarial networks (GANs), have significantly enhanced the inpainting task with an improved capability to fill missing or damaged regions in an image or video through the incorporation of contextually appropriate details. These advancements have improved other aspects, including efficiency, information preservation, and achieving both realistic textures and structures. Recently, visual transformers have been exploited and offer some improvements to image or video inpainting. The advent of transformer-based architectures, which were initially designed for natural language processing, has also been integrated into computer vision tasks. These methods utilize self-attention mechanisms that excel in capturing long-range dependencies within data; therefore, they are particularly effective for tasks requiring a comprehensive understanding of the global context of an image or video. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the current image or video inpainting approaches, with a specific focus on transformer-based techniques, with the goal to highlight the significant improvements and provide a guideline for new researchers in the field of image or video inpainting using visual transformers. We categorized the transformer-based techniques by their architectural configurations, types of damage, and performance metrics. Furthermore, we present an organized synthesis of the current challenges, and suggest directions for future research in the field of image or video inpainting.

Heavy Minerals of Certain Quartzites from Malaya: a Study in Differentiation and Correlation
Creators: name: Alexander, Joseph Brightwell
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1950
Subjects: subject: Geology
subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: This paper has a three-fold aim.

Firstly, it demonstrates the practicability of a mechanical
method alternative to panning for the preliminary concentration, prior to final bromoform separation, of arenaceous materials carrying only very small percentages of heavy mineral residues. This method utilizes the laboratory Aafley concentrating-table and the Haultain superpanner, with crushed calcite stained green by basic cupric nitrate for visual control to ensure reasonable recovery.

Secondly, it serves to present some fresh ideas for the computation of comparative indices and for the illustrative
graphical representation of statistical data. Empirical colour ratios and roundness ratios are calculated, in addition to volume frequency ratios of tourmaline, rutile, and zircon, for each grade size of concentrate obtained, and corresponding coefficients are derived for each sample over a common range of grade sizes.

Thirdly, it records the results obtained in conjunction with an optical examination of the heavy minerals separated from various quartzites occurring in certain areas of Malaya. The diagnostic feature of the data determined by this preliminary investigation indicate the possibilities of utilizing heavy mineral characteristics, as analternative to fossil evidence, for the differentiation or correlation of these quartzites.

description: We study the effect of the charm quark mass in the CTEQ global analysis of parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton. Constraints on the $\bar{\rm MS}$ mass of the charm quark are examined at the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) accuracy in the S-ACOT-$χ$ heavy-quark factorization scheme. The value of the charm quark mass from the hadronic scattering data in the CT10 NNLO fit, including semiinclusive charm production in DIS at HERA collider, is found to agree with the world average value. Various approaches for constraining $m_{c}$ in the global analysis and impact on LHC cross sections are reviewed.

description: It is demonstrated that in many thermodynamic textbooks the equivalence of the different ensembles is achieved in the thermodynamic limit. In this present work we remark the inequivalence of microcannonical and canonical ensembles in a finite ultracold system at low energies. We calculate the microcanonical momentum distribution function (MDF) in a system of identical fermions (bosons). We find that, the microcanonical MDF deviates from the canonical one, which is the Fermi-Dirac (Bose-Einstein) function, in a finite system at low energies where the single-particle density of states and its inverse are finite.
