Current Issues of Intermedial Scholarship Discussed with Editors of Book Series and Journals Specializing on Intermediality by Ágnes Pethő

“…Although far from comprehensive in its covering of geographical areas or publication outlets, with some of the answers more succinct than the others, this survey puts a spotlight on important publications and theoretical concerns of intermedial scholarship today. It probably raises even more questions that might be the focus of further debates.…”

Basal Cell Carcinoma in Asians: A Retrospective Analysis of Ten Patients by Michael G. Moore, Richard G. Bennett

“…Asians develop BCCs later in life and develop fewer BCCs over their lifetime than Caucasians, despite similar estimated lifetime daily sun exposure. This finding is probably due to skin pigmentation in Asians being more protective of ultraviolet light than skin pigmentation in Caucasians.…”

The Biphasic Effect of Vitamin D on the Musculoskeletal and Cardiovascular System by Armin Zittermann

“…In conclusion, dose-response relationships indicate deleterious effects on the musculoskeletal system and probably on the cardiovascular system at circulating 25OHD levels < 40–60 nmol/L and >100 nmol/L. …”

A New Robust Classifier on Noise Domains: Bagging of Credal C4.5 Trees by Joaquín Abellán, Javier G. Castellano, Carlos J. Mantas

“…The Credal C4.5 (CC4.5) model is a new classification tree procedure based on the classical C4.5 algorithm and imprecise probabilities. It represents a type of the so-called credal trees. …”

Morphological and multifractal studies of nanocrystalline Au films by Mehrdad Ahmadi, Maryam Nasehnejad

“…It is found that as the film thickness increased, the multifractality of the films became more pronounced, and the nonuniformity of the height probabilities also increased. Furthermore, it was observed that surfaces with greater roughness displayed larger nonlinearity and wider width of the multifractal spectrum. …”

A multi-dimensional decision framework based on the XGBoost algorithm and the constrained parametric approach by Xinxin Wang, BingBing Zhang, Zeshui Xu, Ming Li, Marinko Skare

“…The constrained parametric approach is used to establish membership functions of linguistic variables, and then get the objective probabilities in the linguistic model, so that we can obtain a scientific decision matrix. …”

Analysis of Model Parameters for a Polymer Filtration Simulator by N. Brackett-Rozinsky, S. Mondal, K. R. Fowler, E. W. Jenkins

“…The simulator is a three-dimensional, time-dependent discretization of a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations used to model fluid flow and debris transport, along with statistical relationships that define debris distributions and retention probabilities. The flow of polymer fluid, and suspended debris particles, is tracked to determine how well a filter performs and how long it operates before clogging. …”

Treatment of Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus Bronchopulmonary Infection in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis by Rashmi Ranjan Das, Sushil Kumar Kabra, Meenu Singh

“…The key findings were as follows: inhaled antipseudomonal antibiotic improves lung function, and probably the safest/most effective therapy; antistaphylococcal antibiotic prophylaxis increases the risk of acquiring P. aeruginosa; azithromycin significantly improves respiratory function after 6 months of treatment; a 28-day treatment with aztreonam or tobramycin significantly improves respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function; aztreonam lysine might be superior to tobramycin inhaled solution in chronic P. aeruginosa infection; oral ciprofloxacin does not produce additional benefit in those with chronic persistent pseudomonas infection but may have a role in early or first infection. …”

Liberating the open and distance learning model from the chains of oppressive education theories by Mackenzie Ishmael Chibambo, Joseph Jinja Divala, Aggripa Chingombe

“…While the findings of this study are applicable across various higher education contexts, ODL has significantly demonstrated a strong alignment with the predictions of the correspondence theory, FEM and ITEM, probably due to its mode of delivery and historical foundations. …”

Une occupation rurale du second âge du Fer et du Haut-Empire sur le site de l’aérodrome à Chartres (Eure-et-Loir) by Bruno Lecomte, Jonathan Simon

“…A rural settlement dating from the Second Iron Age and the Roman period has been unearthed on the airfield site in Chartres.During the first phase of its occupation, dated to the Final Hallstatt or Early La Tène period, it comprised just a few structures, including a probable enclosure. The organisation of the site is difficult to determine, given the paucity of remains unearthed. …”

Technology and Crafts in Archaeology: A Critical Review of Archaeological Approaches to Technology by Javad Hoseinzadeh Sadati

“…From the technical point of view, the book is printed and edited in a professional way, the combination of which with its simple translation would probably satisfy the readers. The biggest shortage of the translation is that the translator sticks too much to the main texts and its structure in a way that in some parts of the book the grammar is more like the original language than to Persian.…”

Effect of Vocal Nerve Section on Song and ZENK Protein Expression in Area X in Adult Male Zebra Finches by Congshu Liao, Dongfeng Li

“…These results indicate that the vocal nerve innervations probably are right-side dominant. ZENK expression in both sides of Area X decreased, as compared to control group after surgery, which suggests that the ZENK expression in Area X is related to birdsong crystallization, and that there is cooperation between the Area X in AFP and syrinx nerve.…”
