A Continuity of Voices in Russell Banks’s A Permanent Member of the Family by Anne-Laure Tissut

“…This paper attempts to provide elements for an answer by putting forward the notion of a “voice of the text.” Taking Russell Banks’s short story collection A Permanent Member of the Family as its example, it explores some of the modalities whereby readers may trace singular and changing paths through the text that are shaped by their own history and sensibility as much as by the text’s potentials. …”

Evolution, Characteristics and Inspirations of Management Zoning for National Parks in the United States by Zhenwei ZHANG, Hanyue XIAO, Yankang MAO

“…The development of the zoning system for national park management in the United States has a history of more than 80 years, which has experienced the goal shifting from “utilization − function” to “protection − control”, the concept shifting from “zoning by potentially conflicting human activities” to “multi-level zoning system based on management objectives”, and the form evolution from “unified formulation” to “decentralized autonomous formulation”. …”

Analysis of MSK jamming effectiveness based on effective jamming coefficient by Zengmao CHEN, Qian YAN, Zhiguo SUN, Rongchen SUN

“…For the problem of communication jamming effectiveness, an effective jamming coefficient was proposed as an evaluation metric based on the correlation between jamming and communication signals, and the impact of orthogonal receivers was analyzed.Specially, minimum shift keying (MSK) and several typical binary modulation signals were chosen as the target communication and jamming signals, respectively.Jamming effectiveness evaluation was performed for the above mentioned scenario by deriving its theoretical bit error rate (BER) formulas.Moreover, for coherent jamming scenario with MSK being the jamming signal, the impact of its phase difference, frequency difference and delay on the jamming effectiveness were also systematically analyzed.The analysis suggests that to achieve better jamming effectiveness, different jamming modulation scheme should be chosen according to the signal-to-noise (SNR) of the jamming communication signal.Simulation has also shown that there is a good match between the derived theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of the proposed method effectiveness, which has proven its accuracy and validity.…”

Factors associated with the injury severity of falls from a similar height and features of the injury site in Korea: a retrospective study by Dae Hyun Kim, Jae-Hyug Woo, Yang Bin Jeon, Jin-Seong Cho, Jae Ho Jang, Jea Yeon Choi, Woo Sung Choi

“…In multivariable analysis, higher height (odds ratio [OR] 1.638; 95% confidence interval [Cl], 1.279–2.098) and accompanying foot injury (OR, 0.466; 95% CI, 0.263–0.828) were independently associated with injury severity (EMR-ISS ≥25) and intentionality of fall (OR, 0.722; 95% CI, 0.418–1.248) was not associated with injury severity. The incidence of forearm injuries was four (4.3%) and 58 cases (12.9%, P=0.018) and that of foot injuries was 20 (21.5%) and 54 cases (12.0%, P=0.015) in the intention versus non-intention groups, respectively. …”
