Genesis of a Poetics of Silence by Enora Lessinger

“…This short story prefigures very clearly Ishiguro’s later novels, and deals with themes dear to him: memory, family, trauma and guilt, the atomic bomb as an absent centre. It also presents a very clear picture of the genesis of his writing style, centred around a poetics of silence, both at the diegetic and narratorial levels.…”

Phototunable Magnetism in Copper Octacyanomolybdate by Jun Ohara, Shoji Yamamoto

“…Electrons are fully itinerant in any of the photoinduced steady states, forming a striking contrast to the initial equilibrium state of atomic aspect. The fully demagnetized final steady state looks completely different from the initial paramagnetism but bears good analogy to one of the possible ground states available with the Coulomb repulsion on Cu sites suppressed.…”

Clutter Mitigation in Echocardiography Using Sparse Signal Separation by Javier S. Turek, Michael Elad, Irad Yavneh

“…The MCA approach assumes that the two signals in the additive mix have each a sparse representation under some dictionary of atoms (a matrix), and separation is achieved by finding these sparse representations. …”
