Sexual Inversion, Smoke, and Mirrors: The (In)Visibility of John Addington Symonds’s Homosexuality in his Autobiographical Writings by William Fize

“…He attempted to repress then conceal his homosexuality to the world and to his own eyes, trying to conform to what his father and society were expecting from him, that is to say to be an exemplary and ‘productive’ member of Victorian society (and therefore a husband and a father), even if that meant having to sublimate his desires until he could no longer do so and ‘was finally born to himself’. …”

MILITARY POWER AND LEADERSHIP: A DISCOURSE ON THE GENERAL BUHARI’S REGIME (1983-1985) by Binta Sidi, Shuaibu O. Moyosore

“…Generally, the critics of the regime are of the view that there is need to examine the fact that in all the battles against indiscipline in the last four decades, the leadership itself has not been disciplined enough to lead by example and therefore, defeated the campaigns even before take-off.It is only a disciplined leadership that can inspire or mobilise a disciplined followership and nurture desirable values in any nation. At this time of economic recession, it may be doubly difficult a task to mobilise a hungry and angry citizenry. …”

From St Winifred’s Translation to Medieval Whodunnit: Ellis Peters and the Cadfael Chronicles by Catherine Lanone

“…Le personnage du moine-détective offre une variation intéressante sur celui du détective retiré du monde, amplifiant la retraite en monastère, tout en ajoutant un passé tumultueux aux Croisades qui fait de Cadfael un homme qui connaît les méandres des désirs humains. Le détective se fait aussi jardinier, cultivant la sagesse et les plantes, guérisseur des corps et des âmes, autant d'éléments qui perpétuent une forme de tradition médiévale.…”

Hybrid Fingerprinting-EKF Based Tracking Schemes for Indoor Passive Localization by Salar Bybordi, Luca Reggiani

“…Consequently, there will be a possibility for FP to be applied in larger areas maintaining the possibility of adding necessary grid points in order to achieve a desired localization performance. Additionally, in order to improve accuracy of ranging, we investigate the impact of a priori knowledge related to the clusters impulse responses and other features; the applied so called soft ranging algorithm for time of arrival (TOA) estimation is modified in order to take advantage of this a priori information and to make its decision variables more accurate. …”

Design of Multilayer Frequency-Selective Surfaces by Equivalent Circuit Method and Basic Building Blocks by Yuan Xu, Mang He

“…In contrast to the existing ECMs that were developed mainly for the analysis of the properties of a given FSS, the presented ECM aims at providing the initial design parameters of an FSS from the desired frequency response. In this method, four types of basic FSS structures are used as the building blocks to construct the multilayer FSSs, and their surface impedances in both the normal- and the oblique-incidence situations are studied in detail in order to achieve more accurate equivalent circuit (EC) representation of the entire FSS. …”

Dynamic Rendezvous Based Routing Algorithm on Sparse Opportunistic Network Environment by Jiradett Kerdsri, Komwut Wipusitwarakun

“…In this paper, we introduce the novel concept of rendezvous place where the passing nodes can announce, deposit, or pick up their own messages without having to meet the other nodes carrying the desired message. The rendezvous place can be detected automatically and its area's shape is dynamically changed according to the interaction among nodes. …”

Planning for Recreational Waterway Access in Rural Coastal Settings by Corina Guevara, Charles Sidman, Robert Swett, Alan Hodges

“…Overcrowding at beaches, boat ramps, and popular destinations in Florida's densely populated coastal areas leads more Floridians and tourists to consider recreating in rural coastal communities that still offer the solitude and natural settings desired by many. According to a recent report sponsored by the Outdoor Industry Association, the provision of public water access has increased outdoor recreation tourism, which could bring much-needed economic benefits to rural areas. …”
