On the Riesz Almost Convergent Sequences Space by Mehmet Şengönül, Kuddusi Kayaduman

“…The 𝛽- and 𝛾-duals of the spaces 𝑓 and 𝑓0 are computed. Furthermore, the classes (𝑓∶𝜇) and (𝜇∶𝑓) of infinite matrices are characterized for any given sequence space 𝜇 and determine the necessary and sufficient conditions on a matrix 𝐴 to satisfy 𝐵𝑅−core(𝐴𝑥)⊆𝐾−core(𝑥), 𝐵𝑅−core(𝐴𝑥)⊆𝑠𝑡−core(𝑥) for all 𝑥∈ℓ∞.…”

Reading young adult South Africans’ reading of national television news by Musa Ndlovu

“…It argues that this theoretical framework allows for a deeper contextual reading of the reader-text relationship and for the argument that, despite post-apartheid social transformation, young adult South Africans’ readings of locally produced television news texts are still ideologically situated sociocultural imports traceable to their differential class, race and gender positions in the country’s social structure. …”

Teaching American Media and Popular Culture: Expansion, Inclusion, Interdisciplinarity by Joel Frykholm

“…By way of concrete descriptions of classes taught and topics raised, I make a case for an approach to popular media that looks beyond both an all-too-limited focus on “mass media” and the text-centric, hermeneutically based discussions about media representations that have otherwise been the most common way of engaging with media in American studies. …”

A Novel Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Large Scale QoS-Based Service Selection Problem by Changsheng Zhang, Hao Yin, Bin Zhang

“…To tackle the large scale QoS-based service selection problem, a novel efficient clustering guided ant colony service selection algorithm called CASS is proposed in this paper. In this algorithm, a skyline query process is used to filter the candidates related to each service class, and a clustering based shrinking process is used to guide the ant to the search directions. …”
