Desperately looking for the truth: The traps and trappings of crime fiction in Charles Palliser’s The Unburied by Catherine Mari

“…Thus, in The Unburied, the eerily confined space is somewhat unreal while the time dimension literally invades the narrative, thus losing its significance. Moreover, the art of concealing is so consummate that it threatens the balance between the hidden story of the crime and the open story of the investigation. …”

Self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm based on population state information by Weijie MAI, Weili LIU, Jinghui ZHONG

“…The local optimum and stagnation state information of the population seriously affects the performance of differential evolution (DE) algorithm.An advanced DE algorithm with population state processing measures was proposed to address the above two issues.When the population falled into the local optimum, the individuals in the population were learned randomly by LBFGS method to improve the global quality of the solution, and Gaussian mutation was employed to trigger new individuals to jump out of local optimum.As for the stagnation state, the covariance matrix of the population was applied to reorganize the target individuals based on the rotation of the spatial coordinates to suppress the stagnation state of the population and enhance the global search ability of the algorithm.In addition, a new selection strategy was designed, which built an external archive to store abandoned individuals after greedy selection.When the trial individual was inferior to the target individual, the algorithm no longer generated the next generation with greedy selection strategy, but made reasonable intelligent selection around the external archive to ensure that the algorithm converges to the global optimum.Compared with eight state-of-the-art DE algorithms on 29 benchmark functions, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in terms of the solution accuracy and convergence speed.…”

Animal Objects: Memory, Desire and Mourning by Julia Courtney

“…At the same time disembodied claws, teeth and horns carried an erotic charge when transformed into lovers’ gifts, while the sensuous reaction to animal skins can be seen in contemporary art and fiction. Thirdly, mourning for departed pets or celebrity animals, in an age when death and remembrance were significant cultural forces, might involve the preservation of either a whole animal or isolated body parts, as in the case of larger creatures such as horses. …”

Circuitos transnacionales de la literatura: João Gilberto Noll y el umbral de la convivência by Santiago Olcese

“…Pensar para la literatura (o el arte en general) un modo de coexistencia con el mercado que no implique aceptación o consentimiento con los dispositivos hegemónicos de la llamada industri a de la cultura sino que, por el contrario, muestre la capacidad disruptiva que tienen todavía las prácticas artísticas en relación con los efectos niveladores (en términos culturales) de la lógica económica, pero desde una posición que asume positivamente tal relación.…”

Measurement of event data from text by Patrick T. Brandt, Marcus Sianan

“…We examine measurement concerns about computer-aided political event data in the state-of-the-art after 2015. The focus is on how to compare and quantify the mathematical and/or conceptual distance between what a machine codes/classifies from information describing an event and the actual circumstances of the event, or the ground truth. …”

“…Abstract One of the key advantages of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) is their potential to achieve high performance at much higher current densities compared to conventional solution-processed emitters. However, state-of-the-art PeLEDs have not yet reached this potential, often suffering from severe current-efficiency roll-off under intensive electrical excitations. …”
