In the Name of the British People: Words and Democracy in Three Post-Brexit Films by Nicole Cloarec

“…This article focuses on three films whose reception has been skewed by the context of Brexit, and more particularly by the issues related to the referendum and the concomitant political instrumentalisation of the notion of “the people’s voice”. …”

SAR-Assisted Energy-Efficient Hybrid ADCs by Kent Edrian Lozada, Dong-Jin Chang, Dong-Ryeol Oh, Min-Jae Seo, Seung-Tak Ryu

“…This article introduces several energy-efficient hybrid ADC architectures that incorporate SAR ADCs as their sub blocks, including the following: SAR-assisted subranging SAR, which saves DAC switching power and can detect skew errors for time-interleaved ADCs; SAR-flash hybrid for energy-efficient high-speed conversion; SAR-assisted dual-residue pipelined ADC, which eliminates the stringent requirement for residue gain accuracy; and SAR-assisted delta–sigma modulator (DSM) with digital-domain noise coupling, which reduces the number of required analog integrators.…”

An Effective Chaos-Based Image Encryption Scheme Using Imitating Jigsaw Method by Zhen Li, Changgen Peng, Weijie Tan, Liangrong Li

“…In the encryption process, the after-preprocessing image is partitioned into 32 × 32 pixel image blocks; next they are randomly revolved and encrypted by control sequence and key blocks which are generated by the skew tent map. In postprocessing, the after-encryption image is partitioned into 16 × 16 pixels’ image blocks, and they are randomly revolved and shifted again under control sequences which are related with encrypted image and keys. …”

Recombinant venom proteins in insect seminal fluid reduce female lifespan by Samuel J. Beach, Maciej Maselko

“…However, all current mating-based genetic biocontrol technologies function by releasing engineered males which skew sex-ratios or reduce offspring viability in subsequent generations which leaves mated females to continue to cause harm (e.g. transmit disease). …”

Espaces virtuels et pré-expérience de l’espace géographique by Jérémie Valentin, Fanny Georges, Yasmine Boumenir, Birgitta Dresp-Langley

“…Whether developing a route or finding a place, the paper map and tourist guide disappear in favor of Virtual Earth and mobile phones.In this context transfer usage, virtual representations of space appear, along with the use of GPS, providing a skewed perception of space. For despite their intrinsic qualities common, especially for navigation in an unknown space, their use would change our relationship to space and in some cases could affect their learning. …”

Honouring Children by Ebenezer Tetteh Kpalam

“…It is said that a faulty anthropology produces a faulty theology, and a faulty theology produces a skewed anthropology. It is argued that views of children that harm them in daily life could be connected with views of God as authoritative, hierarchal, powerful and strong, a God who punishes and disciplines. …”

Control Monitoring Schemes for Monitoring Percentiles of Generalized Exponential Distribution with Hybrid Censoring by Shovan Chowdhury, Amarjit Kundu, Bidhan Modok

“…Conventional Shewhart-type scheme is also proposed under the same set-up asymptotically and compared with bootstrap scheme using a skewed data set. The chart under hybrid censoring scheme is found to be more effective than the same under type-I and type-II censoring schemes in terms of magnitude and speed of detection of out-of-control signals. …”

Axial Fan Performance under the Influence of a Uniform Ambient Flow Field by Till Heinemann, Stefan Becker

“…The straight bladed fan reacted less sensitively than the forward skewed fan, and the adverse cross-flow influence could be reduced with an inlet guard grille and with short conical shroud extensions. …”

BAC-browser: the tool for synthetic biology by Tatiana A. Semashko, Gleb Y. Fisunov, Georgiy Y. Shevelev, Vadim M. Govorun

“…It helps to design nucleotide sequences and features the following tools: generate nucleotide sequence from amino acid sequences using a codon frequency table for a specific organism, as well as visualization of restriction sites, GC composition, GC skew and secondary structure. To assemble DNA sequences, a fragmentation tool was created: regular breakdown into oligonucleotides of a certain length and breakdown into oligonucleotides with thermodynamic alignment. …”

Early attainment of 20-hydroxyecdysone threshold shapes mosquito sexual dimorphism in developmental timing by Meichun Zhang, Han Wen, Qiang Sun, Dongjing Zhang, Yongjun Li, Andrew Xi, Xiaoying Zheng, Yu Wu, Jun Cao, Jeremy Bouyer, Zhiyong Xi

“…These findings highlight the pivotal role of 20E thresholds in CW, pupation timing, and sexual dimorphism, suggesting that manipulating 20E levels can skew populations male, offering a potential mosquito sex separation strategy.…”

Application of an Improved TF-IDF Method in Literary Text Classification by Lin Xiang

“…However, there are significant issues with utilizing this approach, including a lack of distribution information inside categories, a lack of distribution information between categories, and an inability to adjust to skewed datasets. It is possible to improve classification accuracy by using the TF-IDF algorithm in this paper’s application situation by exploiting the association between feature words and the quantity of texts in which they appear, while ignoring the variation in feature word distribution across categories. …”
