Coordinated Delay Management at Intermodal Transport Hubs by Janina D. Scheelhaase, Benedikt Scheier, Erik Grunewald, Saskia Seidel, Thomas Christ, Ulf Noyer, Sven Maertens, Gunnar Knitschky, Florian Rudolph

“…Currently, delays are hardly considered and managed in a coordinated way as expert interviews conducted by the authors revealed. Our modelling results indicate that a coordinated intermodal delay management at intermodal hubs that considers the whole travel chain on the way to the airport can lead to advantages over the current, uncoordinated management of delays.…”

That is, the ex-prisoner must demonstrate his worthiness by accepting himself as normal and at the same time withdrawing from situations, practices and attitudes where members of the larger society would have difficulties in supporting this normality. …”

Pater’s Poikilia — auto-références, métaphores et impressions dans Platon et le platonisme (1893) by Jean-Baptiste Picy

Building on William Shuter’s 1997 challenge to this traditional view, the aim of this paper is to demonstrate Pater’s unchanged attitudes and assign a positive value to his difficult, puzzling but eventually coherent use of imagery and inter-textual self-reference. …”

Challenges of distance English teaching: Narrative analysis of Iranian mainstream EFL teachers’ lived experiences by Fakharzadeh Mehrnoosh, Naderi Mohammad Hassan

The authors discuss that while some challenges are the antecedent contextual challenges that existed and will probably continue to exist in the context of distance classes, some other challenges can be avoided if teachers are equipped with TPACK to fulfill their new roles in the community of distance classes.…”

FEATURES OF USING FOREIGN LANGUAGE TERMINOLOGY IN THE PRACTICE OF PUBLICPRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN RUSSIA by F. M. Ibyatov, M. A. Machulski, L. Yu. Vasilieva

“…The article studies the issues related to the  use of foreign language terminology in the Russian practice of public-private partnership, considers the terms, categories and definitions of public-private partnership, both those which have been included in Russian science and practice, and those which have not been assimilated into the Russian language. The authors conclude that the use of foreign-language terms cannot be reduced simply to borrowing, it is necessary to adapt the borrowed words  and combinations to the Russian science and practice of public-private partnership; the use of borrowed  foreign language terms should not contradict the state concept of public-private partnership development and economic programs and strategies.…”

Spatio-frequency domain opportunistic access in CR-MIMO system based on primary transmission mode information by Zhao LI, Jian-dong LI, Li-yuan XIAO

“…An opportunistic spatio-frequency access (OSFA) strategy for CR-MIMO system was designed.When spectrum holes exist,cognitive service was implemented applying overlay approach.While there was no idle spectrum available,primary transmission mode information (PTMI) and inter-system interference channel information were exploited.And cognitive service was implemented using underlay approach.The method utilizes both spatial correlation and eigenmode transmission gain in spatial resource quality aluation.Consequently,selection diversity of both authorized channel and cognitive eigenmode was achieved.Moreover,PTMI based signal processing reduced the antenna requirement for cognitive system as well as the power loss of cognitive signal.Simulation results indicate that the proposed method could achieve significant improvement of cognitive service and near-optimal cognitive throughput on the premise that no interference is imposed on the primary.…”
