Pirates and Gallows at Execution Dock : Nautical Justice in Early Modern England by Samantha Frénée

“…A representative of the Lord Admiral led the condemned to the gallows at low tide and their bodies remained on public display.This paper looks at the representation of such pirate justice in a number of the literary and non-literary texts of the early modern period in England; when piracy itself was a very fluid and inexact term. A pirate’s career could end in a number of ways: imprisonment, fines, torture, execution by hanging, a negotiated release, a royal pardon, escape, exile or respectable retirement. …”

Smart resetting: An energy-efficient strategy for stochastic search processes by Ofir Tal-Friedman, Tommer D. Keidar, Shlomi Reuveni, Yael Roichman

“…For a diffusing particle, a lower bound exists for the energetic cost of reaching the target, which is attained at low resetting rates and equals the direct linear transportation cost against fluid drag. Here, we study smart resetting, a strategy that aims to beat this lower bound. …”

3D convective flow in a hybrid nanofluid filled bi-truncated-pyramid equipped with adiabatic cylinders by Mohammed A. Almeshaal

“…Numerical simulations based of the FEM were performed to analyze the effects of Rayleigh number (Ra), nanoparticle volume fraction (φ), and cylinders size (D) on the heat transfer and fluid flow (FF) within the pyramid. The results showed that at higher Ra and nanoparticle concentrations a significant enhancement of the HT occurs, and the average Nusselt number (Nua) was increased by up to 23% at a Ra = 106 and φ = 0.045. …”

RESEARCH ON ACOUSTIC RADIATION CHARACTERISTIC OF SAW BLADE CUTTING SYSTEM BASED ON MULTI-FIELD COUPLING by TIAN YongJun, DUAN GuoLin, YAO Tao, GANG JianHua, ZHANG E

“…In order to study the distribution of sound field and quantitative estimates of the cutting noise,a multiphysics coupling model was constructed.Firstly,the vibration response of the fluid structure interaction system was extracted under multibody dynamic contact by using method of center difference.Moreover,a co-simulation method for the acoustic radiation model based on the boundary element method and acoustic coupling theory was presented.On this basis,a structure acoustic coupling model was established to calculate the sound pressure according to the results of the vibration response previously calculated.Then,the sound radiation in time domain characteristics and domain characteristics with the coupled system in half the space is studied.On the basis of the FSI theory,the computing results of the one-way coupling method and two-way coupling method are compared.Finally,the effects of radiating area influence on the sound power is discussed,makes clear the primarily radiation area.As compared with the experimentation results,the multi-field coupling model established in this paper about cutting noise of the saw blade is correct and feasible.…”

Design and innovation for the Cultural Heritage. Phygital connections for a Heritage of proximity by Eleonora Lupo

“…The article presents reflections in the field of design for the Cultural Heritage within the ‘phygital’ scenario, in which the physical-analogical world converges and interacts with the virtual-digital world in a new fluid space. This condition has a significant impact on the cultural Heritage, both on its nature and definition and its accessibility and experience, as it becomes an indivisible continuum of tangible and intangible elements extended and connected in time and space. …”

Class imbalance learning–driven Alzheimer’s detection using hybrid features by Ran Baik

“…An efficient method is proposed to detect the Alzheimer’s disease in the early stage using magnetic resonance imaging. k -Means clustering is used to develop the proposed method for efficient segmentation of the white matter, cerebrospinal fluid, and grey matter. The amalgam feature vectors are formed using the grey-level co-occurrence matrix and speeded-up robust features based on textural feature extraction. …”

基于面心组合的排气歧管响应曲面优化设计 by 刘伟, 张勇, 程天才, 王海燕

“…In order to solve the limitations caused by the engine exhaust manifold structure optimization which usually adopts single factor control variable method or orthogonal test leading to the insignificant parameter interaction,the face centered combination method in the central composite design is used to respond to surface optimization,taking the engine exhaust manifold of a heavy chemical vehicle as the research object,the exhaust 38 groups of manifold structural parameters finish the fast matching,the mathematical model is established and polynomial response regression equation is concluded,fitting out of the exhaust manifold optimum structural parameters and corresponding flow uniformity index,additionally,the results of response surface optimization is verified by the numerical simulation.The results show that when the four branches are combined,the optimal structure fluid flow uniformity index of the exhaust manifold by the response surface method based on the face centered combination way is improved from the original 0.76 to 0.82,which is 6% higher than the initial structure.…”
