Cinephilistinism and the Second Coming by William Brown

“…It is through the twin lenses of disability theory and critical race theory that I propose the concept of cinephilistinism, a term that attempts two things: firstly, to express an essayistic opposition to both a cinematic settler-colonial occupation and the support, be that tacit or explicit, lent to that occupation by various purportedly cinephilic institutions; and, secondly, to function as a means for currying what Steven Salaita might term, apropos of Indigenous and Palestinian relations (but here applied to Palestinian solidarity networks more generally), “inter/nationalism” or “solidarity, transnationalism, intersectionality, kinship, or intercommunalism” with Palestine at this moment of intensified Israeli state brutality. …”

THE FEATURES OF LASER EMISSION ENERGY DISTRIBUTION AT MATHEMATIC MODELING OF WORKING PROCESS by A. M. Avsiyevich, O. G. Devoino, A. D. Kocherov, A. P. Pilipchuk

“…The space laser emission energy distribution of different continuous operation settings depends from many factors, first on the settings design. For more accurate describing of multimode laser emission energy distribution intensity the experimental and theoretic model, which based on experimental laser emission distribution shift presentation with given accuracy rating in superposition basic function form, is proposed. …”

Research on Relationship Between Runoff of Upper Reaches of the Yellow River and Sea Surface Temperature and Atmospheric Circulation Characteristics by WANG Dan, PAN Hongzhong, BAI Yu

“…Precipitation in any watershed is a part of the global atmosphere and water cycle.Most of the water in the atmosphere comes from seawater evaporation.The amount of water vapor is directly related to the sea surface temperature (SST),which is the main driving factor of water cycle.It is a very complicated process that seawater evaporates into the atmosphere,and the water in the atmosphere falls on a certain watershed and forms runoff.In order to increase the forecast period of runoff,the teleconnection relationship between SST and runoff has attracted more and more attention.By using the natural orthogonal function decomposition method and correlation analysis,this paper establishes the correlation between the runoff in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and the corresponding sea surface temperature,and then verifies and analyzes the formation mechanism from the perspective of atmospheric circulation.The results show that the change of sea surface temperature is closely related to the runoff of upper reaches of Yellow River in flood season.…”

Stability and Bifurcation Analysis for a Class of Generalized Reaction-Diffusion Neural Networks with Time Delay by Tianshi Lv, Qintao Gan, Qikai Zhu

“…Considering the fact that results for static neural networks are much more scare than results for local field neural networks and our purpose letting the problem researched be more general in many aspects, in this paper, a generalized neural networks model which includes reaction-diffusion local field neural networks and reaction-diffusion static neural networks is built and the stability and bifurcation problems for it are investigated under Neumann boundary conditions. …”

Delving into the Magdalene’s vase by Vicki-Marie Petrick

“…Other iconographic studies of Mary Magdalene mention her ointment jar, but while images may be brought before the reader, the vase is generally mentioned as the object that permits the author to name the figure and little more. This article intends to tap the rich meanings and connotations of the vase beyond simple visual signifier in studying it – in form and materials and function – through an anthropological lens. …”

Milestones in Bacillus subtilis sporulation research by Eammon P. Riley, Corinna Schwarz, Alan I. Derman, Javier Lopez-Garrido

“…In this review, we highlight foundational discoveries that shaped the sporulation field, from its origins to the present day, tracing a chronology that spans more than one hundred eighty years. We detail how cell-specific gene expression has been harnessed to investigate the existence and function of intercellular proteinaceous channels in sporulating cells, and we illustrate the rapid progress in our understanding of the cell biology of sporulation in recent years using the process of chromosome translocation as a storyline. …”

The current treatment strategy for gouty arthritis by M. S. Petrova, М. M. Musiychuk, V. I. Mazurov

“…Febuxostat is a non-purine selective inhibitor of isoforms of xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR), the effect of which is aimed at lowering the level of serum uric acid (UA). Febuxostat is a more potent inhibitor of XOR than allopurinol, as confirmed by that target UA levels have been achieved more frequently with febuxostat than with allopurinol, particularly in patients with high serum urate concentrations. …”
