Monitoring and analysis of reinforced concrete plate-column structures under room temperature and fire based on acoustic emission by Dongye Wang, Yuli Dong, Dashan Zhang, Weihua Wang, Xin Lu

“…The results show that: the cumulative number of events was active in the loading, heating and cooling stages; the crack density and the change of internal forces could be derived from the trend of event rate; the local energy changes of the specimen could be deciphered from the curves of energy rate and b-value, making it possible to judge if a component has reached the failure state; the specimen suffered the most severe damage, when the AE parameters suddenly changed; AE monitoring enables the early warning of fire to reinforced concrete plate-column structure; infrared detection technology is suitable for real-time monitoring of crack development under high temperature.…”

Perception in context of Chinese and Japanese: the role of language proficiency by Sa Lu, Rongxia Ren, Ting Guo, Xiaoyu Tang

“…Low- to high-proficiency Chinese–Japanese bilinguals, as well as Chinese and Japanese monolinguals, were asked to judge whether the initial morpheme of the Chinese or Japanese words was pronounced with the vowels /a/ or /i/ in single- and mixed-language contexts.ResultsThe results found that low-proficiency bilinguals judged vowels faster in the single-language context than in the mixed-language context, whereas high-proficiency bilinguals showed no significant difference between the single- and mixed-language contexts. …”

Exposing Image Forgery by Detecting Consistency of Shadow by Yongzhen Ke, Fan Qin, Weidong Min, Guiling Zhang

“…By comparing the similarity, we can judge whether the image is tampered. Due to the failure in detecting the second kind of splicing image, in which main body, its shadow, and surrounding regions are copied and pasted from another image, another method based on strength of light source of shadows is proposed. …”

Une schola monumentale découverte boulevard Frédéric-Latouche à Augustodunum/Autun (Saône-et-Loire) by Yannick Labaune, Antoine Louis, Véronique Brunet-Gaston, Anne Delor-Ahü, Jean-Pierre Garcia, Antony Hostein, Michel Kasprzyk

“…Most probably built at the beginning of the 2nd c. on the ruins of earlier houses, it was thoroughly restructured at the end of the 3rd c. or the beginning of the 4th and seems to have been abandoned then partly dismantled from the start of the 5th c. To judge by its plan and its situation within a residential area located in the immediate vicinity of the monumental centre, the building of the beginning of the late-antique period exhibits the functional and topographical features of a schola of exceptional size. …”
