Constraining Metaphor and Metonymy in Language and Depiction: A Cognitive Semiotics Approach by Zlatev Jordan

“…For the purpose, I spell out an integrated definition of metaphor and metonymy along traditional lines, but not limiting them to language. I illustrate the applicability of this definition by offering analyses of political cartoons, showing how the two semiotic figures interact in complex ways, sometimes allowing for different interpretations.…”

Le risque d’attaques de requins à La Réunion by François Taglioni, Sébastien Guiltat

“…A succession of on the spot reactions in the management of this crisis will illustrate that the government had an urgent management of the situation instead and in the place of a less passionate and more anticipated territorial governance which could doubtlessly have limited the magnitude and consequences of such a crisis.…”

Historical Topicality in Arnold Bennett and Edward Knoblock’s Milestones by Lukas Klik

“…Here, I suggest that the topical allusions serve to underpin the play’s main point about the necessity to accept change, especially with regard to the role of women, by illustrating the inevitability of change. Through its interest in Bennett’s dramatic contributions, this article, then, seeks to complicate our understanding of British drama at the turn of the twentieth century.…”

Methods for formation trajectories of motion of unmanned aircraft vehicles when flying around specified areas of space by A. Y. Bumai

“…The analytical results of the studies are presented in the form of qualitative illustrations of the methods under consideration, as well as the proposed methodology for forming an optimal UAV flight trajectory along the boundaries of a given area of space, taking into account the corresponding processes of changing the control acceleration and speed of the UAV and allowing the formation of requirements for the UAV control system at the preliminary development stage. …”

Convergence Analysis Hilbert Space Approach for Fuzzy Integro-Differential Models by Jingwen Zhang

“…Numerical examples are provided of the article to demonstrate how the technique outlined before may achieve convergence and accuracy. Here are a few illustrations to help understand that it is possible to deal with physical issues that require complicated geometric calculations with the assistance of the method explained in this article.…”

Biot Theory Yields a Specific Storage Coefficient With Natural Deformation of Rock by Guangquan Li, Simeng Yang, Li Wang

“…Compressed glass beads and Berea sandstone are used for illustration. At frequencies lower than 10 kHz, the equation of groundwater flow with Ss∗ yields the same phase velocity and quality factor as the Biot theory, and therefore, it is capable of accurately predicting fluid pressure diffusion in the low-frequency regime. …”

A Hybrid Deep Learning Method for the Estimation of the State of Health of Lithium-Ion Batteries by Shuo Cheng

“…Simulation experiments on the NASA dataset illustrate the notable results achieved by the VIT-GRU, with prediction root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) up to 0.54% and 0.38%, respectively, demonstrating the exceptional performance of the VIT-GRU network in SOH estimation. …”

L’émotion à un niveau textuel : la fonction structurante des émotions observée à partir d’annotations by Delphine Battistelli, Aline Étienne, Gwénolé Lecorvé

“…We then propose a way of representing a text based on the previous one and allowing the visualization of blocks of semantically linked sentences. We illustrate the application of this representation mode with two examples of texts, one from the children’s press and the other from children’s literature. …”

Aspects of the Cultural Concept of [Peace] in English and Polish: An Ethnolinguistic Account by Gicala Agnieszka

“…In particular, my analysis begins with a textual illustration that prompts the research direction, in which etymology as well as unique connotations recorded by the survey respondents are granted as much significance as the dictionary material, with attention paid to the dimension of metonymy and metaphor in the analysed cultural concepts of PEACE and POKÓJ. …”

The Instrumentalization of Metaphors in the Management Field: Reflections from the use of the Book “The Art of War” on Business by Luiz Gustavo Lara, Fabio Vizeu, Elizeu Barroso Alves

“…We use the essay form as a method, and we rely theoretically on Alvesson’s critical approach, on the hermeneutics by Gadamer and Ricoeur, and on Habermas’ Critical Theory. We illustrate our argument by recurring use of the work “The Art of War” as a metaphor for managerial practice.…”

Régimes de qualité de l’emploi et diversité des pays émergents by Thibaud Deguilhem, Adrien Frontenaud

“…Two interesting results came out from this study using a Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and a Mixed Clustering (MC) break two institutional dimensions into fourteen indicators. (1) Four specific quality of employment regimes appear, illustrating their heterogeneity and the weakness of this category. (2) The BRICS appear notably scattered over some socio-economic aspects of each leader. …”

Study on Calculation Method of Foundation Nonlinear Settlement Based on In Situ Loading Test by Yong Wen, Guanghua Yang, Zhihui Zhong

“…The validity of the proposed calculation methods of foundation settlement is verified by the in situ loading tests under different plate sizes. The results illustrate that both the nonlinear deformation modulus method and the variable modulus constitutive model compare quite well with the test results, and the deduced results can better reflect the nonlinearity of foundation settlement.…”
