Forbryder vs. offer by Beth Grothe Nielsen

“…While criminology has always had difficulties in integrating into its theories the knowledge that offenders experience victimization, victimology - especially recent variants - has a tendency to ignore the fact that victims are not only "white" and offenders not only "black". "The ideal victim" {Christie, 1986) seems to encompass many more types than the little old lady on her way home from her sick sister in the middle of the day. …”

Sword of heaven by Richard Wilson

“…It was Middleton’s tampering with Shakespeare’s text that transformed it from a drama of demonic substitution, focused on the ‘outward-sainted deputy’ [3.1.93] into an allegory of divine sovereignty, idealizing the monarch as a deus ex machina. If Shakespeare editions have been slow to absorb the news from Vienna that the schizophrenia of Measure for Measure is a result not of authorial despair, but of its having been constructed by two dramatists of distinct generations and mentalities, working some sixteen years apart, they have nonetheless always registered resistance in the play to this totalitarian project of putting power on display.…”

Geological Characterisation of Depleted Oil and Gas Reservoirs for Carbon Sequestration Potentials in a Field in the Niger Delta, Nigeria by Ajoke Celinah Ojo, Akaha Celestine Tse

“…The reservoir depth of at least 800 m, porosity and permeability of more than 10 percent and 20 mD, and a caprock thickness of at least 10 m, in addition to geothermal gradients of 13.46 to 33.66oC /km are the ideal conditions for the efficacy of storage. Comparison of the derived reservoir and seal properties such as porosity, permeability, thickness and depth with the minimum recommended site selection criteria shows that the reservoirs are potential candidates for carbon  geosequestration with a total theoretical storage capacity of 147MM tons. © JASEM …”

Outage performance of SWIPT-NOMA-CR network with imperfect SIC and CSI by Zhuhua MA, Liping LUO

“…For the cognitive relay network based on simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), which is termed as SWIPT-NOMA-CR network, considering the practical situation of imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) and channel state information (CSI), the outage performance of secondary users was studied by using three relay transmission schemes including ideal, time switching (TS) and power splitting (PS).The analytical expressions of outage probability were derived for the secondary users, and the theoretical derivations were validated by Monte Carlo simulations.The results show that the outage performance of secondary users is impaired due to the imperfect SIC and CSI.Compared with the imperfect CSI, the imperfect SIC causes more severe loss to the outage performance of the system.Moreover, the outage probability of PS relay transmission scheme is lower than that of TS scheme.When the imperfect SIC and CSI conditions are changed, the outage probability gap with PS scheme is less than that with TS scheme, which indicates that the reliability of PS relay transmission scheme is superior to that of TS scheme.…”

American Schools of Interdisciplinarity: History and Literature Programs and Their Early Twentieth-Century Traditions by Hélène Cottet

“…Even while interdisciplinarity seems to “teach itself”, relinquishing the narrow set of tools and methods through which a discipline trains its practitioners, it is by acknowledging some of the backwards-looking trends in the interdisciplinary study of history and literature in America that we can recover the ideals of scholarship it seeks to transmit.…”

Establishment and performance analysis of RIS-assisted coded relay cooperation system based on LDPC product codes by Shunwai ZHANG, Jin WANG

“…To pursue the ultra-reliable information transmission, the system which combined the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technology and coded relay cooperation technology was investigated.The RIS-assisted coded relay cooperation system model based on low density parity check (LDPC) product codes was established.Based on LDPC product codes, the information matrix was row-encoded by the source node and column-encoded by the relay node, respectively.An efficient joint iterative decoding algorithm was proposed.The two received signals at the destination were row-decoded and column-decoded iteratively to update the logarithmic likelihood ratios of information bits, and then the decoding decision was made.The closed-form solutions of the outage probability and the channel capacity with finite codelength were theoretically derived.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed system obviously outperforms the traditional coded relay cooperation.The more number of RIS elements, the more significant advantage can be obtained.Simulation results also demonstrate that the channel capacity with finite codelength approaches the ideal channel capacity with the codelength of LDPC product codes increasing.…”

Prediction of thermal conductivity in CALF-20 with first-principles accuracy via machine learning interatomic potentials by Soham Mandal, Prabal K. Maiti

“…We predict that the anisotropic thermal transport in CALF-20, with κ below 1 Wm−1K−1 at 300 K, is ideal for thermoelectric applications. Our analysis reveals a weak temperature dependence (κ ~ 1/T 0.56) and near invariance with pressure in κ value of CALF-20, which stands out from the typical trend observed in crystalline materials. …”

Toward a Systematic Approach to Developing Professional Roles: What Writing Tutors Need to Know and Know How to Do by Dagmar Knorr, Micha Gerrit Philipp Edlich

Professionals tasked with supporting academic writers, for example writing center staff or peer writing tutors, not only are expected to write well but also need to learn how to facilitate the individual development of their clients. …”
