All the Islands the Island: the crafting of Cortázar's 'La isla a mediodía' by Moran, DP

“…This essay aims to achieve a better understanding of how Julio Cortázar came to write one of his most iconic stories, ‘La isla a mediodía’, as and when he did by identifying the various literary sources on which he may have drawn, including D. H. Lawrence’s story ‘The Man Who Loved Islands’, various works by Aldous Huxley, and, above all, William Golding’s novel Pincher Martin. …”

Development of Attention-based Prediction Models for All-cause Mortality, Home Care Need, and Nursing Home Admission in Ageing Adults in Spain Using Longitudinal Electronic Health... by Carrasco-Ribelles, LA, Cabrera-Bean, M, Khalid, S, Roso-Llorach, A, Violán, C

“…In this study, we developed deep-learning-based prognostic models to predict 1-year and 5-year all-cause mortality, nursing home admission, and home care need in people over 65 years old using all the longitudinal information from EHRs. …”

Numerical study of trapped vortex combustors characteristics in small ramjets by Chen, Song

“…The results show that the optimal cavity size that traps a vortex inside can be determined by calculating the drag coefficient. Because the designed small combustor does not have bypass air directed into the cavity, injecting all the fuel directly in the optimal cavity always leads to an overly fuel-rich condition. …”
