The Rare Cuboid-Navicular Coalition Presenting as Chronic Foot Pain by Omer Awan, James Allen Graham

“…Furthermore, from an imaging standpoint, radiographic findings are often subtle and radiologists cannot rely on indirect signs such as talar beak in clinching the diagnosis of cuboid-navicular coalition. Instead, abnormal articulation between the cuboid and navicular must be sought.…”

Had + Have : une étrange construction grammaticale by Patrice Larroque

“…There is, however, an example of verbal construction in the form of a “double perfect" (i.e. had have + V-en) which appears in informal speech instead of a regular pluperfect to express modal remoteness. …”

Living wounds (anfechtungen) or blacksmithing of the human soul? The pastoral art of marvellous exchange (mirifica commutatio) in spiritual well-being by D.J. Louw

“… Many of the unexpected, undeserved forms of suffering and the constant exposure to human brokenness infiltrate schemata of interpretation and frameworks of meaninggiving, causing guilt, doubt, torment, and anguish – a kind of paralysis of the human soul; the hopelessness of désespoir (the nausea of unhope). Instead of blacksmithing spiritual pathology (spiritual victimisation by means of punishment and self-blame), an approach of living wounds is proposed, namely to embrace them within the process of reaching out to the wounds of the other. …”

Smartirrigation Apps: Urban Turf by Kati W. Migliaccio, J. H. Debastiani Andreis, Clyde Fraisse, Kelly T. Morgan, G. Vellidis

“…We developed an app called Smartirrigation Turf to provide an easy-to-use mobile tool that delivers information to improve irrigation scheduling for urban turf. Using the app instead of a set time-based schedule for irrigation, homeowners and others can provide irrigation amounts to turf that more closely match water needs. …”

Parameter Estimation for a Class of Lifetime Models by Xinyang Ji, Shunhou Fan, Wei Fan

“…We point out that the commonly used two-step method (TSM), which splits the model and estimate parameters separately, has limitation. Instead, we apply the Marquardt’s method (MM) to implement parametric estimation directly for the model and compare these two methods of parametric estimation by random simulation. …”

GABA Withdrawal Modifies Network Activity in Cultured Hippocampal Neurons by H. Golan, K. Mikenberg, V. Greenberger, M. Segal

“…Following a washout of GABA, the activity was no longer clustered in bursts and instead, the cells fired at a high rate tonic manner. …”

An Adaptive Reordered Method for Computing PageRank by Yi-Ming Bu, Ting-Zhu Huang

“…With this observation, we introduce an adaptive reordered method to accelerate the total calculation, in which we terminate the reordering procedure appropriately instead of reordering to the end. Numerical experiments show the effectiveness of this adaptive reordered method.…”

Evaluation of a Local Clay as a Dehydration Catalyst by Susan A. Ali, Maha K. El-Aiashy, Zita S. Ayad

“…Since Egypt is rich in natural clays, they can be used as a cheap local catalyst for dehydration instead of importing synthetic catalysts. Samples from Wadi El Hai Helwan were studied for this purpose in the raw and activated forms. …”

Exact Solution for Non-Self-Similar Wave-Interaction Problem during Two-Phase Four-Component Flow in Porous Media by S. Borazjani, P. Bedrikovetsky, R. Farajzadeh

“…Using the potential function as an independent variable instead of time allows splitting the initial system to 2×2 system for concentrations and one scalar hyperbolic equation for phase saturation, which allows for full integration of non-self-similar problem with wave interactions.…”

« Petits poèmes en prose » : la forme poétique dans Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Isabelle Gadoin

“…Alongside with awkward passages when the narrator launches into abstract meditations against morals, society or fate, other moments can be found in his novels when the author briefly seems to forsake any concern for realistic description, and to suggest instead enchanted instants of communion between his characters and the world of nature, which transfigure the whole of perception. …”

Le rôle des TIC pour et dans le développement touristique des zones de montagne : un levier pour articuler durée et durabilité ? by Grégoire Feyt, Laurent Collet, Pierre-Antoine Landel, Françoise Papa

“…These services corresponded to to diversified uses’ and users’ fields yet they are not really connected. Instead these spheres are schematically related to two main purposes: on the one hand syndication of resources and on the other hand identity construction. …”

Vers la ville de l’âge IV ? by Charles Ambrosino, Inès Ramirez-Cobo

“…Current discussions regarding the notion of urban resilience have led, instead of the emergence of stringent regulatory frameworks, to the emergence of spatial systems and of projects that not only extend beyond the architectural dimension but also address the issue of risk management at the level of the region, the infrastructure and the landscape. …”

South African journalists’ conceptualisation of professionalism and deviations from normative liberal values by Ylva Rodny-Gumede

“…The interview findings point to South African journalists articulating their role as one of neither watchdog nor lapdog – instead, the interviewees all articulate their role as based on competing imperatives, in which concerns for the audience and a broader articulation of the public interest take precedent over more liberal conceptualisations of the role of journalism in democracy. …”

Dynamic Traffic Network Model and Time-Dependent Braess’ Paradox by Chunxue Zhao

“…We propose a dynamic traffic network model and give the equilibrium condition and the equivalent variational inequality of the network. In this model, instead of the influence of inflow rate and output rate on the link congestion, the influence of the adjacent links at the same paths is considered; in this case, the equivalence between the equilibrium condition and the variational inequality is proved. …”

Tail coiling behaviour around conspecific’s body during fur rubbing in white-faced capuchins by Helene Meunier, Jean-Louis Deneubourg, Odile Petit

“…Our data does not support the hypothesis that tail coiling allows the recruitment of conspecifics in fur rubbing behaviour; instead, this behaviour seems to be more associated with social allo-rubbing.…”

Rapidly Converging Series for ζ(2n+1) from Fourier Series by Junesang Choi

Exploring reuse criteria for emergency temporary wooden housing- emphasis on local reuse and relocation by Ziyu Jiao, Aya Ishigaki, Hideaki Sumikura

“…During natural disasters, numerous temporary wooden houses are typically constructed, but regrettably, they are seldom repurposed and are instead disassembled once their two-year supply period expires. …”
