Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media

New media we are told exist at the bleeding edge of obsolescence. We thus forever try to catch up, updating to remain the same. Meanwhile, analytic, creative, and commercial efforts focus exclusively on the next big thing: figuring out what will spread and who will spread it the fastest. But what do we miss in this constant push to the future? In Updating to Remain the Same, Wendy Hui Kyong Chun suggests another approach, arguing that our media matter most when they seem not to matter at all when they have moved from "new" to habitual. Smart phones, for example, no longer amaze, but they increasingly structure and monitor our lives. Through habits, Chun says, new media become embedded in our lives indeed, we become our machines: we stream, update, capture, upload, link, save, trash, and troll. Chun links habits to the rise of networks as the defining concept of our era. Networks have been central to the emergence of neoliberalism, replacing "society" with groupings of individuals and connectable "YOUS." (For isn't "new media" actually "NYOU media" Habit is central to the inversion of privacy and publicity that drives neoliberalism and networks. Why do we view our networked devices as "personal" when they are so chatty and promiscuous? What would happen, Chun asks, if, rather than pushing for privacy that is no privacy, we demanded public rights the right to be exposed, to take risks and to be in public and not be attacked?
Non equilibrium reaction rates in air flows behind shock waves. State to state and three temperature description

Non equilibrium reaction rates in the flows of the five component air mixture N2/O2/NO/N/O in the relaxation zone behind shock waves are studied on the basis of the state to state, three temperature and one temperature kinetic theory approaches. State dependent rate coefficients for N2 and O2 dissociation and Zeldovich exchange reactions are averaged using 1) state to state vibrational distributions, 2) two temperature Treanor distributions and 3) thermal equilibrium distributions. Variation of global reaction rate coefficients obtained in different approaches along the relaxation zone is studied numerically for free stream Mach number M 13 and difflerences between reaction rate coefficients found in the frame of the state to state and more simple kinetic models are evaluated.
Reference sequence (RefSeq) database at NCBI: current status, taxonomic expansion, and functional annotation
Venue: Nucleic Acids Res.

The RefSeq project at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) maintains and curates a publicly available database of annotated genomic, transcript, and protein sequence records (http:/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/refseq/ The RefSeq project leverages the data submitted to the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) against a combination of computation, manual curation, and collaboration to produce a standard set of stable, non redundant reference sequences. The RefSeq project augments these reference sequences with current knowledge including publications, functional features and informative nomenclature. The database currently represents sequences from more than 55 000 organisms >4800 viruses, >40 000 prokaryotes and >10 000 eukaryotes; RefSeq release 71) ranging from a single record to complete genomes. This paper summarizes the current status of the viral, prokaryotic, and eukaryotic branches of the RefSeq project, reports on improvements to data access and details efforts to further expand the taxonomic representation of the collection. We also highlight diverse functional curation initiatives that support multiple uses of RefSeq data including taxonomic validation, genome annotation, comparative genomics, and clinical testing. We summarize our approach to utilizing available RNA Seq and other data types in our manual curation process for vertebrate, plant, and other species, and describe a new direction for prokaryotic genomes and protein name management.
The Relationship between Listening Anxiety Listening Comprehension Strategies and Listening Performance among Iranian EFL University Students

The present study was conducted to explore the relationship between listening anxiety, listening strategies, and listening proficiency among Iranian EFL university students. A total number of 110 EFL language learners participated in this study. Three instruments were used in this study. The instruments were comprised of: (a) Foreign Language Listening Anxiety Scale (FLLAS) (b) Listening Strategy Questionnaire, and (C) an original TOEFL iBT test by ETS. Based on the results, it was found out that EFL language learners use Meta cognitive listening strategies the most followed by affective strategies, memory strategies, compensation strategies and cognitive strategies. Moreover, it was found out that all listening strategies were negatively correlated with listening anxiety, which means that as the anxiety level of the participants increases they use listening strategies less and vice versa. In addition, it was found out that compensation and meta cognitive category of listening strategies positively correlated with listening proficiency, while cognitive category negatively correlated with listening proficiency, suggesting that more proficient participants use more compensation and meta cognitive strategies but less cognitive listening strategies. In other words, as listening proficiency increases, compensation and meta cognitive listening strategy use increases and cognitive strategy use decreases. Finally, it was found out that listening is an anxiety inducing skill and listening proficiency plays a key role in determining the level of anxiety. In other words, as listening proficiency increases, the listening anxiety decreases and vice versa.
Improved certificate based signature scheme without random oracles
Venue: IET Inf. Secur.

Certificate based cryptography is a useful primitive that combines traditional public key cryptography (PKC) and identity based cryptography (IBC) It not only solves the key escrow problem inherent in IBC, but also simplifies the certificate problem in traditional PKC. So far, several certificate based signature (CBS) schemes have been proposed in the literature. However, none of them consider the malicious certificate authority (CA) attack. Cryptanalysis shows that two previous CBS schemes without random oracles fail in achieving unforgeability under such attack. To overcome the security weakness in these schemes, the authors propose an improved CBS scheme that can withstand malicious CA attacks. They prove it to be existentially unforgeable against chosen message attacks under the computational Diffie Hellman assumption in the standard model. Compared with the previous standard model CBS schemes, the proposed scheme has obvious advantages in both the computation and communication efficiency.

Venue: Int. J. Softw. Sci. Comput. Intell.

To achieve reliable system intelligence outstanding results, current computational system modeling and simulation community has to face and to solve two orders of modeling limitations at least. As a solution, the author proposes an exponential, pre spatial arithmetic scheme "all powerful scheme" by computational information conservation theory CICT to overcome the Information Double Bind IDB problem and to thrive on both deterministic noise DN and random noise RN to develop powerful cognitive computational framework for deep learning, towards deep thinking applications. In a previous paper the author showed and discussed how this new CICT framework can help us to develop even competitive advanced quantum cognitive computational systems. An operative example is presented. This paper is a relevant contribution towards an effective and convenient "Science 2.0" universal computational framework to develop deeper learning and deep thinking system and application at your fingertips and beyond.

A steam utility network model for the evaluation of heat integration retrofits A case study of an oil refinery

This paper presents a real industrial example in which the steam utility network of a refinery is modelled in order to evaluate potential heat integration retrofits proposed for the site. Total site heat integration techniques have previously been used for the refinery to identify a number of possibilities for heat saving retrofits. However, the profitability and actual primary energy saving will depend on the configuration and operation of the utility system. The supply of utilities such as fuel, steam and electric power represents a significant operating cost for many process industries. A reduced use of utilities can improve process economics and reduce the environmental footprint of the process. Heat integration, within and between the refinery process units, is one way to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the use of steam and fuels. Such heat integration measures will affect steam consumption and generation at different steam pressure levels within the network. A refinery, typically, has flexibility in their operation of the steam network from a number of switchable steam turbine driven or motor driven pumps and compressors. Furthermore, due to seasonal variations the amount of internally generated refinery fuel gas will vary, leading to periods of steam over production as well as periods with a demand for additional purchased fuel. Consequently, the optimum operating strategy concerning steam production and the switchable mechanical drives is a trade off between the cost of fuel and electricity.  1 2 This paper presents a few examples of heat integration retrofit measures from a case study of a large oil refinery. In order to evaluate expected changes in fuel and electricity imports to the refinery after implementation of the proposed retrofits, a steam system model has been developed using commercial software. The model enables an analysis of how the operation of boilers and turbines could be changed in effect of a proposed change. The steam system model has been tested and validated with real steady state data from three different operating scenarios. It can be used for simulation or optimization to answer how changes to steam balances at different pressure levels will affect the overall steam balances, generation of shaft power in turbines and electricity demand for pumps and compressors, and the consumption of fuel gas.
Globalizing Sociology, Turning South. Perspectival Realism and the Southern Standpoint

It is now recognized that social science needs to "globalize." The premise is that social science's concerns, categories and theories have been formulated, forged, and enacted of and for Anglo European metropoles. But exactly how to overcome this problem of "metrocentrism" and truly globalize sociology remains a dilemma. While some suggest that tracking extensive connections or global "systems" can meet the challenge, a different set of solutions proposes to "indigenize" or draw upon "Southern" theory. Yet, this latter approach has faced charges of reverse essentialism, epistemic relativism, and its inability to theorize structural forces or institutions. The present essay proposes a Southern standpoint approach that extends the existing indigenous sociology/Southern theory movement but transcends its limitations. By grounding the approach in an epistemology and ontology of perspectival realism and post foundationalist feminist standpoint theory, sociology can begin its theorizing and research from a Southern standpoint without resorting to essentialism, relativism, or microanalytics and thereby advance global sociology. The essay shows how the theoretical innovations of Frantz Fanon and Raul Prebisch exemplify this Southern standpoint approach.
Perspectival Realism and Incompatible Models

I discuss the prospects of perspectival realism for resolving the problem of incompatible models or theories in scientific practice. My diagnosis is that the perspectivist can secure the 'realism' in her position only by employing suitable relations between the models. It is such relations that do the work, not the general philosophical claim about the perspectival nature of knowledge claims. But appeal to such relations has also been the preferred strategy of scientific realist approaches to the problem. With respect to the problem of incompatible models, then, it is not clear that perspectivism has a clear advantage even though the issue was among the motivating problems for proposing this view. I suggest, however, that the required inter model relations (typically limit relations) embody a narrower notion of perspective, a notion that is explicitly part of the models themselves and that is essential in maintaining a realist view.

Hierarchical Neighborhood Based Precise Localization for Intelligent Vehicles in Urban Environments
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles

High precision localization has drawn more and more attention in recent research of intelligent vehicle systems and autonomous robot navigation technology. In most methods, the approaches are only effective in some specific situations. In other words, these methods can only perform well with obvious features, like tall building walls, road curbs, etc. In this paper, a novel framework for precise localization of autonomous vehicle applying to different scenes especially some typical urban environments is proposed. The main procedures of this method include mapping and localization. During mapping process, inertial measurement unit, odometry, and high precision GPS are fused together with the data sensed by LIDAR, a high precision map that could provide global position and pose is generated using rolling window. When localizing, live laser data align with the prior map. A particle filter based point cloud matching method is utilized here. Based on this, a hierarchical localizing method is proposed, which is more accurate and faster than the original matching method. With this method, the sampling guided by proposal density is propagated upward every hierarchy. Besides that, some accelerating algorithms are utilized to make this approach real time. Finally, decimeter level localization is achieved in different environments, which is proven by some experiments.
Origins and Pathways of Innovation in the Third Industrial Revolution: Sweden, 1950 2013

This study examines the factors that have shaped the long term evolution of the ICT industry in Sweden, 1950 2013. Exploiting a new historical micro database on actual innovation output, the driving forces and technological interdependencies in the third industrial revolution are chronicled. The results of this study support some stylized facts about innovational interdependencies in general purpose technologies: a closely knitted set of industries have provided positive and negative driving forces for the development of ICT innovations. The historical evolution of the GPT surrounding microelectronics can in this perspective be described as a sequence of development blocks.
Study on the Third Industrial Revolution and Paradigm Transformation of China's Manufacturing Industry Based on Theoretical Analysis of Scale Economy and Scope Economy

After the US subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, European and American developed countries have deepened "the third industrial revolution" characterized by intelligence, digitization and individualization in the global market, so as to promote their industry. This brand new industrial revolution tide will deeply change the paradigm of traditional manufacturing industry. Through the extensive application of advanced manufacturing technology like 3D print technology, flexible production technology and reconfigurable production system, the importance of large scale standardized production under the guidance of scale economy in modern market declines gradually, and more and more attention is paid to the scope economy idea that can adapt to the market rapidly and satisfy consumers' individualized needs. By analyzing the trend and essence of the third industrial revolution, this paper expounds the impacts that might be caused to Chinese traditional manufacturing industry, such as the reduction of labor cost advantage, localization and decentralization of production mode, gradual deepening of service degree in manufacturing industry, and suppression on the traditional industry upgrading path and industrialization process. Meanwhile, based on the analysis of scale economy and scope economy, the ideological transformation from scale economy to scope economy is further proposed; theoretical analysis is made for the applicability of these two under the environment of the third industrial revolution, and the theoretical basis and development direction for paradigm transformation of Chinese manufacturing industry in the future are pointed out.
Emergence and accumulation of novel pathogens suppress an invasive species.
Venue: Ecology letters

Emerging pathogens are a growing threat to human health, agriculture and the diversity of ecological communities but may also help control problematic species. Here we investigated the diversity, distribution and consequences of emerging fungal pathogens infecting an aggressive invasive grass that is rapidly colonising habitats throughout the eastern USA. We document the recent emergence and accumulation over time of diverse pathogens that are members of a single fungal genus and represent multiple, recently described or undescribed species. We also show that experimental suppression of these pathogens increased host performance in the field, demonstrating the negative effects of emerging pathogens on invasive plants. Our results suggest that invasive species can facilitate pathogen emergence and amplification, raising concerns about movement of pathogens among agricultural, horticultural, and wild grasses. However, one possible benefit of pathogen accumulation is suppression of aggressive invaders over the long term, potentially abating their negative impacts on native communities.
Les relations de co construction entre l'activite evaluative et l'autonomisation des apprentissages dans le cas de l'enseignement du francais langue etrangere au Japon

Bien que traditionnellement fonde sur une approche transmissive des connaissances et sur leur evaluation le plus souvent sommative, le contexte educatif japonais n'est pas hermetique aux approches didactiques non conventionnelles(Freinet, Montessori, Dewey) qui ont pris pour objectif l'autonomisation des apprenants, ni aux principes du CECR, plus contemporains, qui pronent une approche actionnelle de l'enseignement favorable a l'autonomisation des apprenants, a leur auto evaluation et a l'evaluation de leurs competences plus que de leurs connaissances. Ce constat met en relation les processus d'enseignement/apprentissage transmissifs et/ou autonomisants avec l'activite evaluative et la cultured'enseignement/apprentissage. La recherche ici presentee a voulu decrire et faire comprendre le processus fondateur de cette relation. Pour cela, l'hypothese d'un Mecanisme Autopoietique des Relations de Co construction entre l'Autonomisation et l'(Auto )evaluation (MARCAA) a ete mise a l'epreuve de l'observation (dans 21 classes de 12 etablissements et confrontee aux representations sur l'autonomie et l'evaluation de 21 enseignants. Il en ressort que l'autonomisation et l'evaluation ont une relation de co construction par les possibilites de choix et de decisions qui sontdonnees a l'apprenant durant son apprentissage.
Phytochemical Constituents and Teratogenic Effect of Lyophilized Extracts of Bixa orellana L. (Achuete) and Piper betle L. (Ikmo)Leaves in Danio rerio Embryos

This work highlighted the preliminary chemical screening and toxic and teratogenic effects of lyophilized extracts of leaves of Bixa orellana and Piper betle in developing zebrafish, Danio rerio, embryos. Chemical analysis revealed that both B. orellana and P. betle contained flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, and saponins in varying amount while the former has an addition of terpenoids and the latter has tannins as additional compounds present. In toxicity assay, a 100% mortality of embryos was observed at 10000 mg/ml concentration after 36 hours and at 5000 mg/ml concentration after 48 hours of exposure in both plants. Plant extracts affect the hatchability of embryos, which can be accounted to the observed delayed development. Coagulated embryo was the most distinct toxic effect while delayed development and tail malformation were the most observed teratogenic effects of both plant extracts.
