Characterization of microstructure and properties of AlCuMg alloys by Zlatičanin Biljana V., Đurić Stevan, Jordović Branka M., Radonjić B.

“…The effect of the magnesium and titanium content on the microstructure was monitored quantitatively. Using automatic image analysis we were able to measure the linear intercept grain size, the secondary dendrite arm spacing (DAS), the size of eutectic cells (Le), as well as the size distribution and volume fractions of the α-solid solution and the eutectic. …”

Labiodentals /r/ here to stay: Deep learning shows us why by Hannah King, Emmanuel Ferragne

“…Techniques from deep learning were used to automatically classify and measure the lip postures for /r/ and /w/ from static images of the lips in 23 speakers. Our results suggest that there is a recognisable difference between the lip postures for /r/ and /w/, which a convolutional neural network is able to detect with a very high degree of accuracy. …”

Music videos as cultural artefacts of the eighties by Retha Van Niekerk

“…A semiological approach Incorporating concepts from structuralism, psychoanalysis, feminism and post-structuralism is used to construct a theoretical model for the analysis of meanings in the visual images of music videos. In the theoretical model three levels of meaning, namely denotative, connotative and mythical, are distinguished with certain qualititative elements defined on each level The denotative level or the level of reality contains iconic signs, indexical signs and symbolical signs. …”

Incidental Findings of Asymptomatic Fungal Infection by Nisha Manila, Madhu Nair, Hui Liang

“…There was a significant expansion of the borders of the right ethmoid sinus, and discontinuity or perforation of the sphenoid sinus floor was suspected from CBCT images. Non-contrasted multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) exhibited opacification and extension of the lesion into the majority of sinuses with dense inspissated materials in the center, which resembled radiographic features of invasive fungal sinusitis. …”

„Anwärter auf die Hölle“: Stepan Trofimowitsch und die Menippea der Pharisäer by Ruth Karin Lévai

“…Five specific aspects of the Menippea as defined by Bakhtin are employed in the analysis: 1) the absence of epic or tragic distance, with the subject presented on the plane of the present day, 2) the bold and unrestrained use of the fantastic and adventure devoted to a purely ideational and philosophical end, 3) insanity of all sorts, 4) no abstractly philosophical or religiously dogmatic resolution to ultimate questions, rather their embodiment in carnivalistic acts and images, and 5) the creation of an extraordinary plot situation or a provocative anacrisis.…”

The American Landscape: from an Ideological to an Ecological Object in Oxbow Archive by Joel Sternfeld by Helena Lamouliatte

“…Sternfeld obviously resorts to intericonicity, but he has chosen to reverse the perspective completely, both from a visual and ideological viewpoint. Indeed, Sternfeld’s images are no longer about the visual domination and appropriation of landscape in order to praise the conquest of the American territory; they put forward a new conception of the wilderness, based on aesthetic, political and ecological grounds. …”
