Constructing Dialogues, (Re)Constructing the Past: ‘Remembered’ Conversations in Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes
Creators: name: Mildorf, Jarmila
Publisher: name: Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz
Year: 2016
Subjects: Narratology; Pragmatics; Stylistics

description: This article explores the uses and functions of dialogue in Frank McCourt’s memoir Angela’s Ashes. Taking conversational dialogue and fictional dialogue as points of comparison, the article argues that dialogue in autobiographical writing is essentially constructed, albeit not in the same way as fictional dialogue is. Dialogue as a means of dramatisation raises questions regarding factuality and fictionality. In McCourt’s memoir, dialogue is shown to serve numerous functions: characterisation and stereotyping; selfpositioning and indirect stance-marking; the creation of verisimilitude, humour and reader involvement.

Design of Read, Write Separation based 6T SRAM Memory Array for Low Power IOT Applications
Creators: name: Mr.Braj Bihari Soni
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: IOT based applications are nearly rule the entire embedded based machines and industries now a days. IOT based devices use lots and lots of memories to store multiple datum in the form of images, videos, audios and etc. Due to the capacitor is used in DRAM, which is more power consumed and uses large refreshing circuits. This problem is avoided in SRAM memory cell. Hence it's essential to possess energy- efficient present circuit static memory which focuses on optimizing delay and power. .The olden days SRAM cell consumed more power and produces more delay. To decrease the power consumption and time, the introduced 6T SRAM cell separates read and write operation and. The proposed SRAM array is designed using micro wind (45nm) and the power measured as 283mW, and delay is 20.5 nsec.
Eat My Dust: Stereotypes About Female Drivers Persist But Do Not Affect Their Driving

description: Although some descriptions of stereotypes about drivers are documented in the literature, the specific behaviours representing these stereotypes have not been previously explored. In addition to identifying specific behaviours associated with stereotypes about female drivers, this thesis looks at the way that these stereotypes may be affected by the age of the stereotyped driver. Furthermore, a debate exists in the field of social psychology about whether the awareness of these stereotypes affects the performance of drivers from the stereotyped groups through the phenomenon known as stereotype threat. This thesis explores these topics through a series of three studies. In the first study, participants watched videos illustrating a variety of driving behaviours and indicated whether the driver was more likely to be male or female. In the second study, participants were told to imagine male and female drivers of different ages approaching a car, and the participants were asked to indicate which driver was more likely to take the wheel of the car and whether that driver was the safer of the two. In the third study, which consisted of two experiments, female participants were invited to complete several driving scenarios in a driving simulator. The first of the two experiments had two conditions: stereotype threat and neutral; the second experiment had an enhanced stereotype threat and a counterstereotype condition. The findings of the first study elucidated the specific behaviours that are stereotypically associated with male and female drivers. The second study showed that in many ways, driving is still considered to be a man’s prerogative, since men were frequently rated as more likely to drive and safer drivers than women. The results of the third study showed that the effects of these stereotypes on drivers can be difficult to detect using the stereotype threat paradigm in a driving simulator environment. Although stereotypes about male and female drivers from different age groups are still prevalent, their effects on the behaviour of the drivers from the stereotyped groups may be elusive and hard to reproduce in a simulated driving context.

A Sad Monologist:  Unreliable Reporting of Dialogue in Kazuo Ishiguro’s An Artist of the Floating World
Creators: name: Karttunen, Laura
Publisher: name: Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz
Year: 2016
Subjects: Narratology; Pragmatics; Stylistics

description: The article addresses the question of who reports the dialogue in fictional texts featuring an unreliable narrator. Since no human being can remember and reproduce lengthy conversations accurately, some narrative theorists attribute direct speech representation to the author instead of the character narrator. This means that the speech of other characters may be reported reliably even if the narrator is totally unreliable. The narrator’s version of the events may then be contradicted by others, which allows the reader to perceive his biases. However, Kazuo Ishiguro’s An Artist of the Floating World illustrates the fact that direct speech reports, too, can be distorted by the narrator’s subjectivity, especially his emotions. In Ishiguro’s novel, the narrator’s grief and depression lead him to misremember and invent past conversations. Following Meir Sternberg, the article argues that the reliability of speech reporting in unreliable narration must be determined on a case-by-case basis. The text must signal that the narrator’s speech reporting is unreliable. In the absence of a signal, the reader is supposed to disregard any deviations from verbatim reproduction and to accept the transgression of the limits of human memory.

Fictional Dialogue and the Construction of Interaction in Rosa Liksom’s Short Stories
Creators: name: Koivisto, Aino
name: Nykänen, Elise
Publisher: name: Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz
Year: 2016
Subjects: Narratology; Pragmatics; Stylistics

description: This article analyzes the dynamics of fictional dialogue in three short stories by the Finnish author Rosa Liksom. These stories are constructed almost entirely of dialogue, with minimal involvement on the part of the narrator. We adopt two different approaches to dialogue. First, we analyze dialogue from a micro level, as interaction between the characters within the storyworlds, then from a more holistic perspective, paying attention to how dialogue contributes to the rhetorical structure and ethical interpretation of the stories. We show that resorting mainly to dialogue as a narrative mode works as a way of depicting tensions between Liksom’s characters, and between them and the surrounding fictional world. This, in turn, engages the reader in an interpretative process to understand the story’s logic both within the fictional worlds and on the level of communication between the implied author and the authorial audience.

description: Imaging through atmospheric turbulence is a significant challenge in long-range optical systems. Turbulence-induced degradation, modeled as spatially varying blur and geometric distortion, hampers not only visual quality but also the performance of computer vision tasks such as recognition and tracking. Traditional approaches, including optical solutions like adaptive optics and model-based restoration, often fall short in scenarios requiring high throughput, dynamic scene restoration, and generalization across variable conditions.In recent years, data-driven methods have shown promise in tackling image and video restoration. However, the progress of applying data-driven methods for turbulence mitigation has been hindered by three major limitations: the scarcity of realistic and large-scale training datasets; the gap between synthetic and real-world turbulence; and the computational inefficiencies of existing deep turbulence mitigation architectures. This dissertation addresses these challenges from both a physical modeling and learning-based restoration perspective.To address the data bottleneck, this dissertation introduces improved simulation pipelines based on Zernike-phase models, modified to support large-scale, wide-variety, and physically grounded turbulence synthesis. These simulators incorporate spatial and temporal correlation modeling, adaptive kernel size, and spectral sampling strategies that significantly enhance the realism and efficiency of data generation. They enable the construction of several benchmark datasets that capture a wide range of turbulence conditions and scene dynamics, providing a solid foundation for training and evaluating deep restoration networks.Beyond simulation, this dissertation explores optimized neural architectures and training strategies for turbulence mitigation. Our work introduces turbulence-specific network design, progressive restoration techniques, simulator-integrated training, and joint restoration-degradation estimation. Our methods consistently outperform existing approaches on both synthetic and real-world turbulence datasets. Notably, our models have been deployed in operational systems for long-range biometric recognition through turbulence, demonstrating both scientific contribution and practical impact of the proposed techniques.

Diagnostic notes.
Trigonidium cicindeloides is an unmistakable little cricket with large eyes, a shiny black body and orange-brown hind legs and cerci (Fig. 180).
Distribution and occurrence.
It is a widespread species in Africa, southern Europe, Asia and Arabia. Massa (2009) recorded it on Socotra. The only records are from Zerig and Zemhom, south of the Hagher (Fig. 181). The presence is most certainly overlooked and the species is probably more widely distributed in suitable habitats.
Habitat and biology.
On Socotra, Trigonidium occurs in dense Juncus vegetations at 250–650 m a. s. l. (Fig. 6).

description: The article studies the effect of vacuum extrusion on the expansion coefficient of extrudates and the total content of phenolic compounds, depending on the parameters of the extrusion process. All extrusion experiments were carried out using a single-screw laboratory extruder EK-40. The extrusion parameters were as follows: screw speed (200-400 rpm), temperature in the extruder barrel (70-100°C) and vacuum in the vacuum chamber (0-53 kPa). The expansion coefficient (EC) of the rice flour extrudate was significantly affected by the parameters of the vacuum extrusion process. Optimized conditions were barrel temperature of 77.5°C, raw material moisture content of 32.5%, screw speed of 350 rpm and vacuum level of 40 kPa. Vacuum extrusion has a significant effect on the expansion coefficient compared to conventional extrusion.

Remarks.
The genus Glomeremus Karny, 1937 contains sixteen species in mainland Africa and Reunion, Mauritius and Socotra (Cigliano et al. 2024 a). Hugel et al. (2010) and Cadena-Castañeda (2019) propose that the genus is likely polyphyletic, suggesting that the island species might warrant classification under a distinct genus. On Socotra, three species occur. Glomeremus pileatus (Krauss, 1902) is strongly related to G. capitatus Uvarov, 1957, whereas G. mediopictus Uvarov, 1957 differs strongly from the former two in the shape of terminalia and wings and may even merit placement in a separate genus.

The Effect of Parent Involvement on Reading Comprehension on the Academic Achievement of Second Grade Students
Creators: name: Stone, Brittany
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether second graders’ reading comprehension was
affected by a brief parent involvement intervention which consisted of reading together with
students at home. Twenty students in a selected second grade classroom and their parents, some
of whom did not speak English, comprised the convenience sample for this study. In order to
identify the effects of parent involvement on reading comprehension, a parent or primary
caretaker was instructed to read books on the child’s reading level with each student four nights a
week. Using a pre-test-post-test design, students’ reading comprehension test scores were
compared using a t-test for paired samples. Results indicated that the students’ reading test
scores did improve significantly, so the null hypothesis was rejected. Results also suggested that
the intervention generally was well-received by parents and students. Future and more in depth
research is recommended to identify what aspects of parent involvement have the most positive
effect on diverse students’ achievement in reading and in other subjects.

description: The article studied the effect of extruder die nozzle configuration on starch expansion index. Conventional cornstarch was extruded through nozzles with different L/D ratios. An EK-40 laboratory extruder was used as an extruder. The coefficient of expansion of the extruded starch during the study increased from 4.5 to 13, with a ratio of length to diameter of the nozzle L/D of the extruder from 2.5 to 3.4. Further, with an increase in the ratio of length to diameter of the nozzle L/D of the extruder from 3.4 to 10.3, the expansion coefficient gradually decreased to 8.5. The backpressure in the extruder barrel was directly proportional to the length to diameter ratio of the nozzle L/D, with the optimum expansion at about 7,1 MPa.

description: The article studies the influence of variables on the extrusion of rice flour using a vacuum extruder and compares it with conventional atmospheric extrusion. Variable analysis was carried out using the response surface methodology. The Statistica 10 program was used to design the experiment, perform the statistical analysis, and was used to design, evaluate effects, and obtain response surfaces. Extrusion mixtures were made from rice flour (50%) and brown rice flour (50%), and the moisture content varied from 25% to 35%. The independent variables of the extrusion process were: temperature, raw material moisture content, screw rotation speed and vacuum value. The dependent response variables were: bulk density, water absorption index and specific mechanical energy. All independent parameters had a significant effect on the bulk density. Increasing the vacuum level increases the water absorption index due to the formation of a porous structure. The moisture content of the mixture has a significant effect on the specific mechanical energy. it can be concluded that vacuum extrusion is an effective way to obtain expanded extrudates with modified physicochemical properties.

Diagnostic notes.
Glomeremus mediopictus differs markedly from G. capitatus and G. pileatus. It is much smaller, has tiny scale-like wings, has a much more delicate appearance and has different black markings on the body and legs (Uvarov in Uvarov and Popov (1957)) (Fig. 196). The most important difference with the other two species is the terminalia of males and females. In males of G. capitatus and G. pileatus, the hooks on the posterior margin of the 10 th tergite are directed backwards and slightly upwards. Conversely, in G. mediopictus, these hooks point downwards and inwards (Fig. 188). In female G. mediopictus, the subgenital plate has a transverse crescentic swelling in the middle, whereas G. capitatus and G. pileatus have an anteflexed, bifid structure (Fig. 189).
Distribution and occurrence.
The species is endemic to Socotra. Only a few records are known, scattered over the island (Fig. 197), but the species is probably overlooked. Uvarov (in Uvarov and Popov (1957)) mentioned that the collection site of the holotype is at 3000 ft [914 m a. s. l.]; Popov (1984) noted 100 m a. s. l. (300 ft) as elevation, as also stated on the label. We consider the latter to be correct (see Discussion).
Habitat and biology.
All records are from high scrubland with succulents. The species occurs at low elevations from 10–350 m a. s. l. In 2009, it was found at night in various shrubs, like Senna socotrana, Jatropha unicostata and Cissus subaphylla (Fig. 198). Massa (2009) collected the species in Croton socotranus. It is possibly associated with more humid localities than G. pileatus. Records are from February to April.

Conocephalus maculatus

description: Conocephalus maculatus (Le Guillou, 1884)
Figs 199, 200, 201, 202
References for Socotra.
Uvarov (in Uvarov and Popov (1957)): 363–364, figs 8, 9 [as Conocephalus bidens]; Popov 1981: 127; Wranik 2003: 314, plate 148.
Diagnostic notes.
Amongst the bush-cricket species on Socotra, C. maculatus is recognisable as a typical smaller conehead: a slender, grass-green bush-cricket with long wings, a body length including wings around 26 mm, a pointed head in lateral view and the presence of a dark band extending from the frons to the hind margin of the pronotum (Fig. 199). Each male cercus is armed with one inner tooth (Fig. 200). It is the only member of Conocephalus on the Archipelago.
Taxonomic notes.
Uvarov (1952) described Conocephalus bidens Uvarov 1952 as an endemic species to Socotra, based on a single male. After examination of the type specimen and specimens collected afterwards by Guichard, Popov (1981) concluded that the type has a deformed spine on the cercus. Since all other material collected on Socotra is identical to Conocephalus maculatus, he considered C. bidens a junior synonym.
Distribution and occurrence.
The species is widespread in Africa and Asia. On Socotra, it is widespread, but only locally common. It also occurs in the Hagher, on the limestone plateaus and near Qalansiyah (Fig. 201).
Habitat and biology.
C. maculatus occurs in well-vegetated grassy sites, especially near water, for example, in wadis and along springs and lagoons, from 0–1000 m a. s. l. They have also been observed near lowland settlements with adequate weed and grass cover in wetter months (Fig. 202). Adults are fully winged and may visit lights at night in Hadiboh and other areas. Records are from all months.
Bioacoustics.
The song of C. maculatus consists of high-pitched rustling echemes of 400 ms – 2 s, based upon recordings from UAE (Paolo Fontana in litt.), Mozambique (Naskrecki and Guta 2019) and Tanzania (Hemp 2021).

description: The article studied the speed of drying fruit pomace. Pomace of apples, blueberries (wild and cultivated), raspberries, chokeberry and cherries were dried at a temperature of 45°C to equilibrium moisture content in a laboratory dryer. The pomace studied, with the exception of raspberries, showed two drying periods: a drying period with a constant speed and a drying period with a decreasing speed. The longest drying time is observed in pomace of cultivated blueberries. Dried pomace is a raw material for use in functional foods with a certain content of biologically active substances and antioxidant activity.

description: The accumulation and aggregation of α-synuclein (α-SYN) is a common characteristic of synucleinopathies, such as Parkinson’s Disease (PD), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) or Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). Multiplications of the wildtype gene of α-SYN (SNCA) and most point mutations make α-SYN more aggregate-prone, and are associated with mitochondrial defects, trafficking obstruction, and impaired proteostasis, which contribute to elevated neuronal death. Here, we present new zebrafish models expressing either human wildtype (wt), or A53T mutant, α-SYN that recapitulate the above-mentioned hallmarks of synucleinopathies. The appropriate clearance of toxic α-SYN has been previously shown to play a key role in maintaining cell homeostasis and survival. However, the paucity of models to investigate α-SYN degradation in vivo limits our understanding of this process. Based on our recently described imaging method for measuring tau protein clearance in neurons in living zebrafish, we fused human SNCA to the photoconvertible protein Dendra2 which enabled analyses of wt and A53T α-SYN clearance kinetics in vivo. Moreover, these zebrafish models can be used to investigate the kinetics of α-SYN aggregation and to study the mechanisms, and potential new targets, controlling the clearance of both soluble and aggregated α-SYN.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: Excerpts from the Summary: Crops may be damaged or destroyed by many natural hazards, such as drought, freezing, flood, wind, insects, and hail. A farmer may lose all or part of his income if his crops fail. One hazard for which insurance is available is hail damage. In 1963, farmers purchased more than $2. 8 billion of protection against hail. This was double the amount purchased in 1951. About 75 percent of the total coverage was concentrated in three regions--the Corn Belt, Northern Plains, and Appalachian Regions. Farmers are increasing their use of crop-hail insurance. From 1952 to 1963, the percentage of total crops covered by this insurance rose from 7.6 to 13.1 percent. Farmers in the Corn Belt had the highest coverage, 25 percent of their total crop value, and those in the Delta States the lowest, 1 percent. In 1963, corn, wheat, tobacco, soybeans, and cotton were the most heavily insured crops, accounting for 80 percent of the total insurance coverage. Crop-hail insurance is offered by mutual associations or cooperatives which are owned by its policy-holders, stock fire and marine insurance companies, State hail insurance departments, and the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation as part of its all-risk insurance program. The Federal crop insurance differs from regular crop-hail insurance in that an individual must insure all acres of a particular crop in which he has an interest within the county; that it be purchased before planting; and that it cover production costs only.

References for Socotra.
Uvarov (in Uvarov and Popov (1957)): 363, figs 6, 7; Ragge 1968: 93; Ragge 1980: 122; Popov 1981: 133; Wranik 2003: 315, plate 148; Massa 2017: 38–39, figs 1–3.
Diagnostic notes.
The genus differs from the genus Phaneroptera by the shape of the pronotum, the short hind wings (tegmina longer than the hind wings) and the robust cerci (Ragge 1980; Massa 2017). The stridulatory file is more similar to that of Eulioptera Ragge, 1956 and Dannfeltia nana Sjöstedt, 1902 than Phaneroptera in that it is missing the double bending in the distal part of the file, characteristic for the latter genus (B. Massa in litt.).
Taxonomic notes.
Uvarov (in Uvarov and Popov (1957)) described the species based on a single male specimen (Fig. 217). The female of Phaneroptila insularis Uvarov, 1957 is unknown.
Distribution and occurrence.
Endemic to Socotra. Only three records from the well-wooded slopes of the Hagher massif are known (Fig. 218). Due to its arboreal habitat, the species is undoubtedly under-recorded. The two specimens collected in 2014 were found after foliage beating (A. Carapezza in litt.). The coordinates of the 2014 record given by Massa (2017) refer to the entrance of Wadi Ayhaft and are less precise. The coordinates mentioned above are of the estimated collecting site in Wadi Ayhaft (A. Carapezza and B. Massa, in litt.).
Habitat and biology.
Based on the collecting sites, the habitat of P. insularis is within dense woodland and thick shrubland at a medium elevation in the Hagher (Fig. 11). Uvarov (in Uvarov and Popov (1957)) mentioned dense undergrowth in mixed thickets on the northern slopes of the Hagher. In 2024, a live specimen was observed feeding on the flowers of Croton sulcifructus at around 980 m a. s. l. after sunset (Fig. 216). Records are from 250 to 1000 m a. s. l., from January to March.
Bioacoustics.
The song of this species is yet unknown.

description: Excerpts from the report: U. S. consumer expenditures for cigarettes declined slightly in 1964 after moving upward steadily for many years. The $7.1 billion spent in 1964 was 2 1/3 times 1947 expenditures of $3.0 billion. This increase reflected an upward trend in both consumption and prices. Cigarette consumption increased by about one-half during the period and average retail prices by almost three-fifths. Increases in population and consumer incomes contributed to the growth in consumption. The bill for marketing cigarettes smoked in the United States totaled $3.2 billion in 1964 compared with $1.2 billion in 1947. It represented 45 percent of consumer expenditures in 1964 and 38 percent in 1947. This marketing bill is the difference between the farm value and consumer expenditures for cigarettes less excise taxes. It is composed of the manufacturing bill and the wholesaling-retailing bill. The manufacturing bill increased by a faster rate than the wholesaling-retailing bill from 1947 to 1964. By 1964, it accounted for 54 percent of the marketing bill compared with 50 percent in 1947.
