Least squares and the not-Normal Equations by Wathen, AJ

“…For many of the classic problems of linear algebra, effective and efficient numerical algorithms exist, particularly for situations where dimensions are not too large. <br> The linear least squares problem is one such: excellent algorithms exist when QR factorisation is feasible. …”

A driftwood-based record of Arctic sea ice during the last 500 years from northern Svalbard reveals sea ice dynamics in the Arctic Ocean and Arctic peripheral seas by Hole, GM, Rawson, T, Farnsworth, WR, Schomacker, A, Ingólfsson, Ó, Macias-Fauria, M

“…Driftwood occurrence and provenance also track the northward ice formation shift in peripheral Arctic seas in the past century. A distinct decrease in driftwood incursion during the last 30 years matches the observed decline in pan-Arctic sea ice extent in recent decades. …”

Sympathising with the monster by subverting the human-monster dichotomy in fantastic beasts and where to find them by Jahafar, Mohammed

“…Michel Foucault’s exposure of the cracks in humanism, coupled with Freud, and Kristeva’s concepts provide a catechistic framework for me to investigate how the dichotomy between the human and the monster is both constructed and dismantled in the original screenplay and movie of J.K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (Fantastic Beasts). …”
