The Battle for ‘Trayvon Martin’: Mapping a Media Controversy Online and Offline by Graeff, Erhardt

“…But the story gained attention and controversy over Martin’s death dominated headlines, airwaves, and Twitter for months, thanks to a savvy publicist working on behalf of the victim’s parents and a series of campaigns off–line and online. Using the theories of networked gatekeeping and networked framing, we map out the vast media ecosystem using quantitative data about the content generated around the Trayvon Martin story in both off–line and online media, as well as measures of engagement with the story, to trace the interrelations among mainstream media, nonprofessional and social media, and their audiences. …”

Non-abelian representations of some sporadic geometries by Ivanov, Alexander A., Pasechnik, Dmitrii V., Shpectorov, Sergey V.

“…For a point-line incidence system S =(P, L) with three points per line we define the universal representation group of S asR(S)= 〈zp, p∈P|zp^2=1 for p∈P,zp zq zr = 1 for {p,q,r} ∈ L〉We prove that if G is the 2-local parabolic geometry of the sporadic simple group F1(the Monster) or F2(the Baby Monster) thenR(G)≅F1or 2·F2, respectively.…”

Attractiveness of container shipping as an investment asset class - perspective from an equity investor with investment horizon of 5 years by Tan, Ryan Kye Han

“…Comparison of historical returns to market average was used to determine the relative performance of container shipping stocks to market average across a span of 12 years from 2010 to 2021. Correlation analysis was then conducted to identify potential indicators of future share price performance that could be used to guide investor decisions. …”

Stability of laminated composites with delaminations by Yap, Chun Wee

“…Various parametric studies are then conducted and they include boundary condition, type of composite materials, number of layers, ply orientation, stacking sequence, through-the-thickness location of the delamination, delamination length and along-the-span position of the delamination. For all the single-delaminated and multi-delaminated thin composite beams cases that are examined, the CLT methods 2 and 3 are able to form the desired upper and lower bounds, respectively, for the actual buckling loads. …”
