Starch-lignin foams

“…We have prepared novel starch-kraft lignin foams with a known technique similar to compression molding. Replacing 20% of the starch with lignin has no deleterious effect on density or morphology as indicated by scanning electron microscopy: a thin outer layer of approximately 100 µm encloses a region of cellular structure containing 100–200 µm voids, with the major internal region of the foam consisting of large voids of up to 1 mm in size. …”

Adaptive dimensionality reduction for neural network-based online principal component analysis. by Nico Migenda, Ralf Möller, Wolfram Schenck

“…"Principal Component Analysis" (PCA) is an established linear technique for dimensionality reduction. It performs an orthonormal transformation to replace possibly correlated variables with a smaller set of linearly independent variables, the so-called principal components, which capture a large portion of the data variance. …”

The Ghost of Middle Management: Automation, Control, and Heterarchy in the Platform Firm by Janet A. Vertesi, Diana Enriquez

“…Prior studies of gig workers rely heavily on sociological accounts of factory labor, but we posit that gig economy platforms represent a heterarchical organizational form, marrying the logics of industrial control induced by computational systems with the logics of post-bureaucracy inherited from flattening firms and downsizing middle management. In a technique we describe as automation by omission, we show how middle-managerial roles and responsibilities are excised entirely from the platform firm, how the vestigial traces of such roles are only imperfectly replaced by technical systems, and how “situated” managerial tasks essential to post-bureaucratic organizations are picked up by the worker, uncompensated. …”
