A brush with savage beauty: fashioning identities in the art of Juan Luna (1884-1895) by Khua, Kelly Janine Xiao Rong

“…His monumental work 'Spoliarium' won the gold medal at the 1884 Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes in Madrid, a triumph that nationalists of the Propaganda Movement viewed as a sign of racial equality. Luna’s association with Filipino nationalist historiography, however, has resulted in a sanitisation of his biography and the scholarship on his artworks is dominated by political interpretations. …”

Creating special image effect by image decomposition and reconstruction by Li, Mengguo

“…Most of lime, we will use digital image processing instead of analog image processing because it can allow much wid er range of algorithms applications to the input image and also can avoi d pro blems like incre asing noise and sign al distortion during processing. In this project, we will use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to conduct digital image decomposition and reconstruction for human face images. …”

Portraits des magistrats vers 1660 : émergence d’une caractérologie informationnelle by Patterson, J

“…Au regard d’une analyse intertextuelle à même de les éclairer et de les interpréter, ces « documents » doivent également se lire comme le résultat et le signe d’une nouvelle caractérologie informationnelle.…”

Tileable superconducting quantum circuits with magnetic flux control by Fasciati, SD

“…Further, by directly coupling an IST to a transmon via a mutual capacitance, we demonstrate how the opposite signs of anharmonicity can be exploited to effectively reduce the undesired static longitudinal coupling (ZZ interaction) to zero. …”

Cortical evoked activity is modulated by the sleep state in a ferret model of tinnitus. A cross-case study by Milinski, L, Nodal, FR, Emmerson, MKJ, King, AJ, Vyazovskiy, VV, Bajo, VM

“…Animals that developed signs of tinnitus consistently developed sleep impairments, suggesting a link between the emergence of noise–induced hearing loss and/or tinnitus and sleep disruption. …”

Prevalence of sleep disturbance in patients with ankylosing spondylitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Salari, Nader, Sadeghi, Narges, Hosseinian-Far, Amin, Hasheminezhad, Razie, Khazaie, Habibolah, Shohaimi, Shamarina, Mohammadi, Masoud

Multiplicity and transverse momentum dependence of charge-balance functions in pPb and PbPb collisions at LHC energies by Tumasyan, A., Adam, W., Andrejkovic, J. W., Bergauer, T., Chatterjee, S., Damanakis, K., Dragicevic, M., Escalante Del Valle, A., Hussain, P. S., Jeitler, M., Krammer, N., Lechner, L., Liko, D., Mikulec, I., Schieck, J., Schöfbeck, R., Schwarz, D.

“…The charge-dependent correlations are characterized by balance functions of same- and opposite-sign particle pairs. The balance functions, which contain information about the creation time of charged particle pairs and the development of collectivity, are studied as functions of relative pseudorapidity (∆η) and relative azimuthal angle (∆ϕ), for various multiplicity and transverse momentum (pT) intervals. …”

Microbial methanogenesis fueled by freshwater infiltration and oil biodegradation in the Siljan impact structure, Sweden by van Dam, Femke, Kietäväinen, Riikka, Westmeijer, George, Reinhardt, Manuel, Ono, Shuhei, Dopson, Mark, Ketzer, Marcelo, McIntosh, Jennifer C., Drake, Henrik

“…Previous studies report signs of ancient microbial methanogenesis in the Devonian Siljan meteorite impact structure in Sweden, but the proportion of microbial methane, metabolic pathways, and potential modern activity remain elusive. …”

Magneto-photoconductivity of three dimensional topological insulator bismuth telluride by Cao, Bingchen, Eginligil, Mustafa, Yu, Ting

“…By fitting the magneto-photoconductivity data of the thicker sample to the localization formula, we obtain weak antilocalization behaviour at 4, 10, and 20 K, as expected; however, weak localization behaviour at 30 K, which is a sign of surface states masked by bulk states. Also, from the temperature dependence of phase coherence length bulk carrier-carrier interaction is identified separately from the surface states. …”

US exceptionalism? International trends in midlife mortality by Dowd, JB, Doniec, K, Zhang, L, Tilstra, A

“…Although levels of midlife mortality in the UK are substantially lower than those in the USA overall, there are signs that UK midlife mortality is worsening relative to that in Western Europe.…”

A Dirichlet-multinomial mixed model for determining differential abundance of mutational signatures by Morrill Gavarró, L, Couturier, D, Markowetz, F

“…Our methodology is available in the R package CompSign and offers an ample toolkit for the analysis and visualisation of differential abundance of compositional data such as, but not restricted to, mutational signatures.…”

Controls on present-day and future rainfall over southern Africa in coupled climate models by Munday, C

“…Climate models are the only tools available to estimate future rainfall change, but in the southern African summer rainfall season the latest generation of general circulation models disagree on the sign and magnitude of this change. Some models project small increases in rainfall (~20 mm.season-1) while other simulate large decreases (~100 mm.season^-1), and this diversity occurs in the context of large positive rainfall biases (up to 300%) in the present day. …”

Pathogenic bacteria, antimicrobial susceptibility and ultrasonographic features of feline lower urinary tract disease by Mazda, Delna
