Evolution-Operator-Based Single-Step Method for Image Processing

“…The key component of the proposed method is a local spectral evolution kernel (LSEK) that analytically integrates a class of evolution partial differential equations (PDEs). From the point of view PDEs, the LSEK provides the analytical solution in a single time step, and is of spectral accuracy, free of instability constraint. …”

Game theory and weight loss: Harmonic evidence from randomized controlled trials in Appalachia, KY and Jordan. by Daniel E Zoughbie, Dillon Huddleston, Eric L Ding

“…We find that treatment significantly increases unconditional cooperation (from 27% of controls to 45% of treated subjects in Kentucky, and 38% to 85% in Jordan, with an intermediate level of 76% associated with partial treatment in the latter), and despite all attending cultural and other differences between these two geographies, treatment in each yielded significant and unimpeachable improvements in outcomes; improved program attendance and weight loss. …”

Electrophoretic Deposition of Aluminum Nitride from Its Suspension in Acetylacetone Using Iodine as an Additive by Bizuneh Workie, Brian E. McCandless, Zewdu Gebeyehu

“…We have studied electrophoretic deposition of AlN from its suspension in acetylacetone with I2 as an additive. AlN powder with particle size <10 μm is dispersed to produce a positive charge and deposited on the cathode by applying fields greater than 10 V/cm between the electrodes. …”

A PSO-CVX Algorithm of Sum and Difference Beam Patterns for Time-Modulated Antenna Array by Xikuan Dong, Hailin Li, Jing Tan, Jiawen Hu, Yachao Jiang

“…The turn-on times of antenna array are achieved by solving a quadratic constraint linear programming; meanwhile, the opening times are optimized by particle swarm optimization algorithm. The results of linear array show that the sum and difference beam can be scanned within ±40 degrees, with lower peak side-lobe level.…”

Transculturación y estudios culturales. Breve aproximación al pensamiento de Fernando Ortiz by Erelis Marrero León

“…El artículo presenta un recorrido por el pensamiento teórico de Fernando Ortiz, sus motivaciones y herencias intelectuales, hasta llegar a la formulación del neologismo «transculturación». Ello como punto de partida para un análisis sobre las condiciones de posibilidad para pensar a Ortiz efectivamente como parte de un proyecto de estudios culturales en Cuba o como un autor cercano a estos debido a las problemáticas abordadas en su obra.…”

Bond Strength between Glass Fiber Fabrics and Low Water-to-Binder Ratio Mortar: Experimental Characterization by Daniel Bohling, Andrzej Cwirzen, Karin Habermehl-Cwirzen

“…Results showed that an average penetration of mortar did not exceed 100 µm even at a higher water-to-binder ratio. The maximum particle size of the used fillers should be below an average spacing of single glass fibers, which in this case was less than 20 µm to avoid the sieving effect, preventing effective penetration. …”

Low-Temperature Production of Genuinely Amorphous Carbon from Highly Reactive Nanoacetylide Precursors by Ken Judai, Naoyuki Iguchi, Yoshikiyo Hatakeyama

“…Generally, amorphous carbon is prepared by carbonization of organic compounds exposed to high temperature, which can induce partial crystallization in graphite. In this work, we present a new method in which the carbonization reaction can proceed at a lower annealing temperature (under 150°C) owing to the highly reactive nature of copper acetylide, thus avoiding crystallization processes and enabling the production of genuinely amorphous carbon materials.…”
