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. …”

当青春成为最后的乌托邦 ：探析 "小字辈" 文本所影射的文化现象 = When youth becomes the last utopia : a study of the 'tiny texts' cultural phenomena by 王捷灵 Ong, Cerys Jie Ling

“…This paper analyses “tiny texts” (texts beginning with “xiao” meaning “tiny” in Chinese) that have proliferated in the Chinese cultural entertainment market over the past ten years. By interpreting them as social texts—observing them in the socio-political and economic context that gave rise to the texts—the commonalities within and around these texts serve as a point of departure for investigation of the larger cultural phenomena they represent. …”
