Scenes of misrecognition (Koltès, Duras) by Killeen, M-C

“…What is most fascinating about these works is the curious way in which they appear to bear all the markings of confessions yet pointedly refuse to behave like them, thwarting the desire for revelation, catharsis, and closure at every turn. …”

Comparison of Machine Learning-Based Methods for Narrowband Blind Adaptive Beamforming by Shonkwiler, Lara

“…Traditional blind source separation methods such as CMA, SOBI, JADE, and FastICA tend to be highly effective at beamforming datasets with moderate to large sample supports, but they do not perform well when they only have access to a limited number of data samples. They also bear the disadvantage that the appropriate algorithm must be selected based on the properties of the expected signal. …”

Selective lighting up of epiberberine alkaloid fluorescence by fluorophore-switching aptamer and stoichiometric targeting of human telomeric DNA G-quadruplex multimer by Zhang, Lihua, Liu, Hua, Shao, Yong, Lin, Clement, Jia, Huan, Chen, Gang, Yang, Danzhou, Wang, Ying

“…We found that, among the G-quadruplexes studied here and the various structurally similar alkaloids including epiberberine (EPI), berberine (BER), palmatine (PAL), jatrorrhizine (JAT), coptisine (COP), worenine (WOR), sanguinarine (SAN), chelerythrine (CHE), and nitidine (NIT), only the HTG DNA, especially with a 5′-TA-3′ residue at the 5′ end of the G-quadruplex tetrad (5′-TAG3(TTAG3)3-3′, TA[Q]) as the minimal sequence, is the most efficient FSA to selectively light up the EPI fluorescence. …”

Optimized type 2 fuzzy logic control for low-speed vehicle pedal pressing automation using hybrid spiral sine cosine algorithm by Azrul Azim, Abdullah Hashim, Nor Maniha, Abdul Ghani, Salmiah, Ahmad, Mohd Ruzaini, Hashim, Noor Zirwatul Ahlam, Naharuddin, Addie, Irawan

“…Physical modeling and simulation were done in Simscape MATLAB, which provides an opportunity for modeling and visual description of the actuator system's relationship with the dynamics of the car. The results presented in this paper prove the fact that the analyzed Type 2 FLC optimized by the SSCA method performs better than the traditional Type 1 FLC in terms of the key metrics, with improvements of 32.4242% in overshoot, 0.364 seconds in settling time, and a reduction of 0.002009 in steady-state error at 2 km/h reference speed. …”

Behave The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst / by Sapolsky, Robert M., author 656050, Penguin Random House (Online service) 655978

“…Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: he starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy. …”
