Using the method of AHP to establish risk early-warning indicators system and method of fuzzy comprehensive appraisal to establish risk early-warning model, the paper constitutes risk early-warning system of electric power engineering projects. A case from western China is applied to prove the validity of the risk early-warning system.

Approaches to the mesokinetic theory of search for the optimal technological route for conversion of a raw material into the desired material

Information available on the synthesis of new materials demonstrates that the increased demand for materials can be satisfied only by passing from analogy-based and combinatorial search for material production technology to search based on the semiempirical theory of raw material conversion into the desired material. This theory is representable as a set of boundary-value problems on the kinetics of the elementary processes that lead to the formation of a material and are conducted in apparatuses varying in their design, with experimental data for substances of various natures generalized in these boundary-value problems. While accumulating experimental data, it is appropriate to carry out a four-step passage from virtual modeling of the operation of apparatuses to process optimization.

Simulation of the Space Turntable Angular Velocity Measurement

For better design and control of the space turntable, a model for measuring its angular velocity was built. The model utilized a two-axis space turntable to perform the simulation basing on the coordinate conversion theory. The measuring simulation went on with the help of MATLAB software using different carrier attitude angles. It shows the maximal error in the sub astral point longitude and/or latitude is 0.00785 degrees when comparing with the STK results, certifying the validity of the models. The satellite attitude angles have influence on the angular velocity, the maximal azimuth angular velocity is 3.784 deg per sec, yet the elevation's is 0.6945 deg per sec when the attitude angles are all 20 degrees. This simulation process provides some guidance for designing, controlling and calibrating the space turntable.

Conversational Implicature (Flouting the Maxims): Applying Conversational Maxims on Examples Taken from Non-Standard Arabic Language, Yemeni Dialect, an Idiolect Spoken at IBB City

Purpose : To investigate the fact that the theory of Conversational Implicature proposed by Austin and later on extended by Grice can be universal and can be applied to all languages of the world, an idiolect from the Arabic language in this case. Method : Thirty minutes recorded conversation between the researcher and one of his friends who are from the same governorate and they nearly share the same non-standard Arabic. Namely, they both speak the Yemeni non-standard Arabic, an idiolect spoken at Ibb governorate. After that, the researcher has transcribed the recorded speech and then translating it into English. Needless to say, the analysis of the data has been based on both Austin’s and Grice’s principles of Pragmatics , Conversational Implicature theory. Results: Illustrative examples for flouting the four maxims of speech were introduced and analyzed pragmatically. That is, it was explained in detail how the maxims of quantity, quality, manner and relation were flouted and an implicature from each was generated. Conclusions : It was concluded that the claim our speech can be systematized and it has implicatures in one way but not in another is to some extent true. Thus, this theory can be applied to other idiolects of non-standard Arabic. Keywords: Maxims of speech, Maxim of quantity, Maxim of quality, Maxim of relation, Maxim of manner, Conversational implicature theory, and Pragmatics.

Knowledge Management and the Application of the Chinese Traditional Five-Color Aesthetic

Chinese traditional five-color aesthetic is developed for thousands of years, but it is still not obsolete. It is regarded as an important classical of Chinese civilization, and is one cultural system lacking the modern scientific methods management as well. Based on the sustainable development concept, firstly, this paper analyzes the feasibility of the introduction of the management methods to manage traditional five-colors aesthetic. Secondly, we specifically discuss how to use the management principles to manage it. Finally, we carry on the cultural innovation of the traditional Chinese five-color aesthetic. For example, the theory of mathematical language conversion, digital color label and computer graphics showing, and so on are discussed. The research of the knowledge management and culture of innovation not only can be used for social creative design and universities design education, but also can be shared with the world.

Systematic and practical measurement of organizational knowledge creation

PurposeThis study developed a systematic measurement scale for the organizational knowledge creation practices. The authors used five knowledge creation phases – sharing tacit knowledge, creating concepts, justifying concepts, building prototypes, and cross‐leveling knowledge – from Nonaka et al.'s knowledge conversion theory as the theoretical foundation.Design/methodology/approachA total of 914 survey responses collected from 14 for‐profit Korean business organizations representing the country's leading businesses were used to examine the factor structure of those five phases, using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).FindingsResults confirmed that the current version of knowledge creation practice measurement, which has five sub‐dimensions along with ten items, is valid and applicable specifically in the Korean for‐profit business context in terms of the psychometric properties of the measurement and measurement factor structure.Research limitations/implicationsThe generalization issue still remains one of the research limitations because all data sets were collected from Korean business organizations. More sample diversity needs to be considered for further research in terms of cross‐cultural comparison research, which could strengthen the validity of the current developed measurement.Practical implicationsFrom the practical standpoint, organizations can utilize this measurement to diagnose their status of knowledge creation, at team and organization levels.Originality/valueThis measurement could promote more dynamic research on areas of knowledge creation in terms of valid and economic size of measurement. From the practical standpoint, organizations can utilize this measurement to diagnose their status of knowledge creation at team and organization levels.

“When I Die, I Won’t Stay Dead”: The Future of the Human in Suzan-Lori Parks’s The Death of the Last Black Man in the Whole Entire World

“‘When I Die, I Won’t Stay Dead’: The Future of the Human in Suzan-Lori Parks’s The Death of the Last Black Man in the Whole Entire World” puts thing theory in conversation with theorizations of temporality, claiming that things rupture the subject/object binary by dislocating subjects and objects in time. The essay shows how the things in Suzan-Lori Parks’s play The Death of the Last Black Man in the Whole Entire World and Kara Walker’s cutout Middle Passages reorient subjects in time. Demonstrating a relationship between history, as a temporal category, and notions of the human that perpetuate the devaluing of blackness, this essay examines, through an analysis of Parks’s play and Walker’s cutout, what I call an aesthetic of “disalienation,” which loosens the hold of ever-present racial signifiers ready to reinscribe racist formulations of blackness. Through their acts of artistic innovation, Parks and Walker recalibrate time and permanently relegate the subject/object binary, and therefore black inhumanity, to a thing of the past.

Converse magnetoelectric effect dependence with CoFeB composition in ferromagnetic/piezoelectric composites

We report on the dependence of the converse magnetoelectric effect (CME) on the composition of Co60Fe20B20, Co43Fe43B14 and Co28Fe52B20 soft magnetic layers when coupled with PZT-micro-fiber-composites (MFC). In all cases we show strong CME responses, with squareness reduction of 60−80% when increasing the E-field from −1 to +1.4 MV/m. The highest CME response is found for Co43Fe43B14 which shows the largest ratio between the magnetostriction coefficient λs and the saturation magnetization Ms among the three compositions. According to the quasi-static magnetoelectric converse theory, the linear coupling factor α up to 1.65 µs/m and voltage coefficient MEH up to 250 V·cm−1·Oe−1 are calculated, which is 2−3 orders of magnitude higher than usually reported.

On a problem of perturbation restoration in stochastic differential equation

The problem of restoration of an unknown deterministic perturbation in the stochastic differential Ito equation was considered from the standpoint of the dynamic conversion theory. The imprecise discrete measurements of part of the current phase vector were regarded as the input information. A finite-stage resolving algorithm based on the method of controlled auxiliary models was proposed. Its convergence was proved, and the conditions for parameter coordination were presented.

Nonlinear theory of mode conversion at plasma frequency

An electromagnetic (EM) wave at the mode conversion layer transfers its energy to the electrostatic (ES) wave whose amplitude can be greatly enhanced due to its slow group velocity near the cut off layer. The large amplitude ES wave produces the density compression, indispensable for the nonlinear coupling in the EM wave, leading to the localized vortex flow. A dc magnetic field, tantamount to the vorticity, is generated as a result of the conservation of canonical momentum.

CONVERSATIONAL IMPLICATURE OF THE PRESENTERS IN TAKE ME OUT INDONESIA

Abstract : In the past few years, game shows such as Take Me Out Indonesia were quite popular in Indonesian television. These game shows were quite interesting to study because they were not only involving many participants, but also requiring the settings in which politeness and implicature needed to be used to keep the communication flows smoothly. This paper is a pragmatic study that aims at investigating conversational implicature that the presenters of Take Me Out Indonesia operate within their utterances along with the possible implications that lie behind the implicature [AJ1] . The episode XXII of the show was chosen purposively as the sample. Qualitative method was employed in processing the transcription of the 204 recorded implicature data. The intended features were identified, classified, calculated and then separately analyzed based on conversational implicature theory proposed by Grice (1975). The result shows that the presenters tended to use generalized conversational implicature (59, 8%) rather than the particularized (40,2%). Based on the functions, inferences or motive it contains, generalized conversational implicature can be classified into ten categories implying: (1) the presence of the opposition, (2) the invalidity of the expressions or events at the time of speaking, (3) “not all”, (4) events that have not yet occured, (5) the actual position, (6) persons or things having similararity, (7) “not completely”, (8) further actions, (9) the others of the similar kind, and (10) the opposite of the real situations. The needed inferences fall into two classifications: (1) the show’s settings inferences and (2) general knowledge inferences. Based on the objectives, particularized implicatures are used to ensure: (1) the effectiveness of a polite criticism, (2) maximum efficiency of communication, (3) minimum degree of an imperative’s imposition, and (4) alleviation of other’s self offensiveness. This study concludes that various types of implicature were used in informal game show conversation to make interaction flows smoothly. Key words : conversational implicature, maxims, inference, meanings, game show s.

Radicalization into Violent Extremism I: A Review of Social Science Theories

In discourse about countering terrorism, the term "radicalization" is widely used, but remains poorly defined. To focus narrowly on ideological radicalization risks implying that radical beliefs are a proxy—or at least a necessary precursor—for terrorism, though we know this not to be true.Different pathways and mechanisms of terrorism involvement operate in different ways for different people at different points in time and perhaps in different contexts. This article explores the problems in defining radicalization and radicalism, and suggests that radicalization—and more specifically, involvement in terrorism—might best be viewed as a set of diverse processes. It goes on to review several potentially promising theories that might support further study of those processes, including social movement theory, social psychology, and conversion theory. Finally, it describes some possible frameworks for understanding how the processes might facilitate terrorism-related behavior.

BECOMING BELIEVERS: STUDYING THE CONVERSION PROCESS FROM WITHIN

Abstract Employing an extended case method ethnography (Burawoy 1998), the researcher joined five new members forming a spiritualist's group under the leadership of an experienced advocate. Over a period of eighteen months, the researcher attended all the group's activities and events. Data were collected to reflexively interrogate the process theory of conversion proposed by Lewis Rambo (1993). The data revealed conversion to be a multifaceted and dynamic process of cognitive change, mediated by structural, and contextual forces. The results provide a reconceptualization of Rambo's theory, presenting a theoretical expansion of the model emphasizing its mechanisms of action. The paper details the composition of the “Interaction‐Commitment” mechanism, operationalized within four submechanisms emanating from Rambo's roles, rituals, rhetoric, and relationships. This longitudinal study shows that most of the hard work toward conversion occurs before any formal interaction with a conversion advocate. Conversion operates most effectively under conditions of cognitive economy wherein the belief path follows a path of least cognitive expenditure.

Reviewing Conversation Theory and Mobile Learning

To understand that learning comes from a communication process is the first step to comprehending Conversation Theory. A message is sent through a channel, causing dialogue between two entities. Thus, effective communication occurs when a participant in a dialogue is able to recognize other participants’ understanding.

ORLANDO MASON Y LAS RAÍCES DEL PENSAMIENTO SOCIAL DE PABLO NERUDA

The theory of Pablo Neruda's poetic and political conversion during the Spanish Civil War suggests that the poetry of the Chilean Nobel Laureate prior to this event was devoid of any political signifi cance, while his subsequent poetry was oriented by his Marxist ideology. In this article I explore the development of Neruda's early consciousness in his poetry and prose written prior to the publication of Crepusculario in 1923 The term I use to characterize his political beliefs is social justice, and I pay special attention to the role of Neruda's uncle Orlando Mason in his formation.

Theoretical and Experimental Research on Perforation Remnant Energy

During the perforating and testing combination, the tubing, packer and casing are strongly impacted by shock-wave generated from oil perforators would be damaged. The energy conversion and energy equivalent theories and the underwater explosion energy method are applied to investigate the perforation remnant energy. The theoretical analysis results indicate that the explosion remnant energy of the perforators is the main energy source causing damage of the tubing, packer and casing and the explosion process of the perforators with guns in the oil well can be simplified to the explosion of ordinary explosive charges in the perforation liquid. TNT equivalent and HMX equivalent of perforation remnant energy of three type perforators are obtained by experiments and Cole Formula. Studying results can help to predict dynamic wellbore behaviors and provide a reference for designing the perforation program.

Building(s), cybernetically

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present a model of the architectural design process as a set of interlinked conversations, to explain the role of the artifacts of the design process in facilitating these conversations, and to demonstrate alternative perspectives on the architectural process enabled by such a model.Design/methodology/approachApplying concepts and terms of Pask's Conversation Theory, the conventional architectural process is analyzed in terms of the nature of the conversations and artifacts at play within each phase. The implications of a rethinking of the architectural process in terms of Conversation Theory are extrapolated.FindingsA Conversation Theory perspective on the architectural design process reveals the arbitrariness of the convention of the building as a final and fixed product. The introduction of a new class of artifacts in the design process could support a more sustainable and open approach to architecture.Originality/valueThe conceptualization of the software dimension of a building as an “entailment mesh” preserving and perpetuating the shared concepts constructed through the design process contributes new concepts to the discourse of responsive architecture.
