The Ubiquity of Strange Frontiers: Minor Eschatology in Richard Powers’s The Echo Maker by Zachary Tavlin

“…Though this counter-tradition is hardly apolitical, it refocuses its politics on the everyday instead of the American millennium, and on the proximate instead of the distant, substituting the imperial appetites of the all-consuming settler subject for the embodied, proprioceptive confusions of the domestic subject. …”

Convergence Time Calculation for Supertwisting Algorithm and Application for Nonaffine Nonlinear Systems by Jianhua Zhang, Quanmin Zhu, Yang Li

“…The convergence time of the STA is provided by calculating the solution of a differential equation instead of constructing Lyapunov function. Therefore, precise convergence time is presented instead of estimation of the upper bound of the algorithm’s reaching time. …”

The Last Word by Jan Boessenkool

“…The concept has a strong metaphoric power for African-based organisational and management theories, as opposed to Eurocentric and Americacentric ones: ‘We Africans will develop our own theories, based on our typical African authenticity and you, westerners can learn from us’. Instead of thinking in dichotomies, as we so typically do, it is possible and more fruitful to stress togetherness and the Rainbow Nation: instead of ‘or – or’ ‘and – and’; taking the African Renaissance as a starting point. …”

An Improved Sensitivity Method for the Simultaneous Identification of Unknown Parameters and External Loads of Nonlinear Structures by Chongwen Wang, Chengbin Du

“…In addition, the key issues associated with the sensitivity method are systematically studied, and suggestions for improvement are put forward, including the use of the difference method instead of the derivative method to calculate the sensitivity, the use of a fixed regularization parameter instead of the traditional regularization parameter calculation methods, and measures for guarantee of iterative convergence. …”

Global solutions to the Cauchy problem of BNSP equations in some classes of large data by Jie Qi, Weike Wang

“…Due to the complexity of bipolar Navier-Stokes-Poisson equations, we chose Green's function method instead of the classical energy method and thus discussed the regularity criterion under decaying structures in time instead of only integrability of time variable. …”

Removal of Perfluorooctanoic Acid and Microcystins from Drinking Water by Electrocoagulation by Stephen Opoku-Duah, Dennis Johnson

“…In the present study, two innovative aspects of electrocoagulation techniques were tested, (a) cheap and easy-to-operate field-unit instead of hi-tech electrocoagulation and (b) reverse-polarity instead of conventional polarity, and applied to remove PFOA and microcystins from drinking water sources. …”

Transcendence of the Human Far Beyond AI—Kafka’s <i>In the Penal Colony</i> and Schopenhauerian Eschatology by Søren Robert Fauth

“…The article shows that this transformation corresponds to core concepts in Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy, primarily his doctrine of the denial of the will to live and asceticism. Instead of the species-narcissistic affirmation of life and the body that lurks behind much of AI and modern technology, Kafka strives for a definitive overcoming of the life we desire.…”
