Pre·Election coverage by SABC·TV of the 1989 General Election by John van Zyl

“…The report attempts to be a "case-study" In the construction of television news, employing discourse theory and the semiotics of film and communication In preference to the traditional quantitative approach. The encoding procedures of TV news were the main focus of the analysis which sought to demonstrate above all the shifting perspective within which news is constructed and how the signs and codes of news are closely related to those of fiction. …”

Sympathetic Prions by Markus Glatzel

“…The infectious agent is termed prion and is thought to be composed of a modified protein (PrPSc or PrPRES), a protease-resistant conformer of the normal host-encoded membrane glycoprotein, PrPC[1]. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, scrapie of sheep, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are among the most notable transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. …”

Hamiltonian simulation of minimal holographic sparsified SYK model by Raghav G. Jha

“…The circuit complexity for Hamiltonian simulation of the sparsified SYK model with N Majorana fermions and q=4 (quartic interactions), which retains holographic features (referred to as ‘minimal holographic sparsified SYK’) with k≪N3/24 (where k is the total number of interaction terms times 1/N) using the second-order Trotter method and Jordan-Wigner encoding is found to be O˜(kαN3/2log⁡N(Jt)3/2ε−1/2) where t is the simulation time, ε is the desired error in the implementation of the unitary U=exp⁡(−iHt) measured by the operator norm, J is the disorder strength, and constant α<1. …”

An Evolutionary Video Assignment Optimization Technique for VOD System in Heterogeneous Environment by King-Man Ho, Wing-Fai Poon, Kwok-Tung Lo

“…We investigate the video assignment problem of a hierarchical Video-on-Demand (VOD) system in heterogeneous environments where different quality levels of videos can be encoded using either replication or layering. In such systems, videos are delivered to clients either through a proxy server or video broadcast/unicast channels. …”

Synthesis of Uniformly Excited Concentric Ring Arrays by the Strategy of Partial Density Tapering and the Algorithm of Differential Evolution by Xin-Kuan Wang, Gui-Bao Wang, Jianke Jia, Chao-Jun Huang

“…Then, the ring filling factor (RFF) is introduced so that the optimization of the number of elements can be transformed into the optimization of RFFs within the tapered thresholds, and thereby the real coding can be directly used with respect to the consideration of parallel encoding strategy. Finally, the UECRA featuring improved PSL performance can be obtained by limited runs of conventional DE. …”
