So to Speak: A Computational and Empirical Investigation of Lexical Cohesion of Non-Literal and Literal Expressions in Text by Alexis Palmer, Caroline Sporleder, Linlin Li

“…Specifically, we look at five expressions headed by a verb which – depending on the context – can have either a literal or a non-literal meaning: bounce off the wall (“to be excited and full of nervous energy”), get one’s feet wet (“to start a new activity or job”), rock the boat (“to disturb the balance or routine of a situation”), break the ice (“to start to get to know people, to overcome initial shyness”), and play with fire (“to take part in a dangerous or risky undertaking”). …”

Optimizing Negotiation Conflict in the Cloud Service Negotiation Framework Using Probabilistic Decision Making Model by Rajkumar Rajavel, Mala Thangarathinam

“…At each stage of negotiation process, the proposed decision model generates the heuristic decision based on the past negotiation state information without causing any break-off among the participants. In addition, this heuristic decision using the stochastic decision tree scenario can maximize the revenue among the participants available in the cloud service negotiation framework.…”

Circulation of Baffin Bay and Hudson Bay waters on the Labrador shelf and into the subpolar North Atlantic by E. Duyck, N. P. Foukal, E. Frajka-Williams

“…Decomposing the Labrador shelf into five regions, we further describe typical pathways for these waters and show that extensive exchanges take place between the coastal and shelf-break branches of the Labrador Current. Our results suggest that if an increasing amount of freshwater reaches the Labrador shelf, it would not directly affect the Labrador Sea convection region; instead, it would lead to the formation of a salinity anomaly off the Grand Banks, which could then circulate around the subpolar North Atlantic.…”

Accurate Perception of Rock Strata Movement for Environmental Protection in Coal Mining: Taking Thick and Hard Roof Cooperative Control as an Example by Tong Zhao, Changyou Liu, Kaan Yetilmezsoy, Majid Bahramian, Peilin Gong

“…Confined water and infiltrated modified rock mass functioned as the transfer load medium of the explosives, and the CBWDHPT fully utilized high explosion energy to break rocks. Consequently, the collapse and filling of the immediate roof and low-positioned THR, as well as the timely cutting off the middle-positioned THR, could be realized, which alleviated the migration space of THR blocks, overlying strata destruction, and earth-surface step subsidence. …”

Highly angle-sensitive and efficient optical metasurfaces with broken mirror symmetry by Kim Nayoung, Kim Myungjoon, Jung Joonkyo, Chang Taeyong, Jeon Suwan, Shin Jonghwa

“…Based on an effective medium theory, we intuitively explain which material parameters affect the sensitivity and efficiency and prove that high sensitivity and high efficiency can be achieved simultaneously by breaking the mirror symmetry. Based on this, we propose optimized metasurfaces for two applications: an angle-multiplexed beam-steering device with up to 93% relative efficiency and an angle-multiplexed metalens array that can break the fundamental resolution–density trade-off of microlens arrays with high efficiency. …”
