The historical relations of the papuan languages of alor and pantar by Klamer, Marian., Holton, Gary., Kratochvil, Frantisek, Robinson, Laura C., Schapper, Antoinette.

“…Applying the comparative method to primary lexical data from twelve languages sampled across the islands of the Alor-Pantar archipelago, we use form-meaning pairings in basic cognate sets to establish regular sound correspondences that support the view that these languages are genetically related. …”

Correntropy based nonnegative matrix factorization : algorithms and clustering applications by Peng, Siyuan

“…In this thesis, to improve existing correntropy based nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) algorithms and develop new methods for enlarging the range and enhancing the performance in clustering tasks, three novel correntropy based NMF algorithms are proposed, which are respectively the correntropy based graph regularized concept factorization algorithm, the correntropy based orthogonal nonnegative matrix tri-factorization algorithm, and the correntropy based semi-supervised nonnegative matrix factorization algorithm. …”

Frames over finite fields: equiangular lines in orthogonal geometry by Greaves, Gary Royden Watson, Iverson, Joseph W., Jasper, John, Mixon, Dustin G.

“…In parallel with the known correspondence between real ETFs and strongly regular graphs (SRGs) that satisfy certain parameter constraints, we prove that ETFs in finite orthogonal geometries are closely aligned with a modular generalization of SRGs. …”

Beowulf opera scenes: classroom music pedagogy and knowledge when composing an opera with primary-school children by Axtell, I, Anderson, A, MacGregor, E, Nenadic, E, Fautley, M, Evans, N

“…The article focuses on one of eight schools involved in the project, in which children worked with a professional composer alongside their regular classroom teacher to compose operatic scenes to accompany the epic poem, Beowulf. …”

Gigantic floating leaves occupy a large surface area at an economical material cost by Box, F, Erlich, A, Guan, JH, Thorogood, C

“…In particular, the spatially varying thickness and regular branching of the primary veins ensures the structural integrity necessary for extensive coverage of the water surface, enabling optimal light capture despite a relatively low leaf biomass. …”

Supersymmetric Yang-Mills, spherical branes, and precision holography by Bobev, N, Bomans, P, Gautason, FF, Minahan, JA, Nedelin, A

“…We show how this divergence can be regularized both in QFT and in supergravity. We also consider d = 7 with a small negative ’t Hooft coupling and show that the free energy and Wilson loop vacuum expectation value agree with the results from supergravity after addressing some subtleties. …”

Intersection Graphs of Maximal Sub-polygons of k-Lizards by Daugherty, Caroline, Laison, Joshua D., Robinson, Rebecca, Salois, Kyle

“…Abstract We introduce k-maximal sub-polygon graphs (k-MSP graphs), the intersection graphs of maximal polygons contained in a polygon with sides parallel to a regular 2k-gon. We prove that all complete graphs are k-MSP graphs for all $$k>1$$ k > 1 ; trees are 2-MSP graphs; trees are k-MSP graphs for $$k>2$$ k > 2 if and only if they are caterpillars; and n-cycles are not k-MSP graphs for $$n>3$$ n > 3 and $$k>1$$ k > 1 . …”
