On the receptivity of surface plasma actuation in high-speed boundary layers

Significant amounts of work have been conducted in the area of plasma flow control, while the receptivity of plasma actuation in high-speed boundary layers has not had much attention over the last two decades. In the present study, the receptivity of a Mach 4.5 flat-plate boundary layer to plasma heating actuation produced by pulsed-DC surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD) has been studied by direct numerical simulation (DNS) and stability analysis. With the help of multimode decomposition technology, the amplitude of normal modes can be obtained. The results show that both fast and slow modes can be excited by plasma actuation, and the receptivity maximum is observed near the lower neutral branch. Because the pulsed-DC SDBD actuation is typical periodic pulse signals, when the total power remains constant, the Fourier components with multiples of actuation frequency have the same energy, regardless of the waveform, period, and width of the actuation signal. Such characteristics benefit the robustness of the pulsed-DC SDBD actuator. A theoretical prediction method by combining the receptivity model and linear parabolized stability equations is considered in the present study, and good agreement with the DNS results is achieved.

Development of a reliable path-loss model for FM broadcast reception in office locations

This paper proposes for the development of a path-loss model to improve the accuracy in predicting the signal level in office locations for the reception of FM broadcast. Identifying the factors that affect the signal level and eventually developing a model to predict the signal inside buildings will guide engineers in designing a broadcast system. A properly designed broadcast system will ensure optimum signal penetration in these listening areas. Further, the developed model can find applications in policy-making on the regulation of FM broadcast stations, both for analog and digital radio systems. Signal level measurements from three FM broadcast stations have been made inside eight office rooms in De La Salle University-Manila. With the three stations utilizing circularly polarized transmitting antennas, the measurements aim to determine the signal levels of the horizontal and vertical components of the received signal. These measured levels are used to determine the effects on the magnitude of the received signal of some factors, such as signal frequency and polarization, receiving antenna height, walls, transmitter-receiver distance, etc. Since the developed model is based on the measured signal levels in the actual office environment, its accuracy is then better than any of the existing models earlier developed.

Migrants and Refugees: Bottom-Up and DIY Spaces in Italy

The term ‘arrival city’ was notoriously introduced by Saunders (2010) to indicate all places which provide first access to the city. For Saunders, migrants from rural third world villages confront the same challenges in their home country or abroad. The informal neighbourhood in developing countries is thus advocated as a model for cities in western countries. Through an ethnographic approach, the article considers emerging practices of refugees and migrants in the centre of Milan and in a small town on the outskirts of Rome investigating a varied set of reception models. In conclusion, the article revises the model of the arrival neighbourhood while criticizing the underlying assumption of informal development. Instead, it insists on the need for understanding the specific requirements of arrival places for better regulation of the reception of migrants.

Reception and influence in the history of philosophy: an approach to the problem

Investigation into the theme of receptions and influences is one of traditional topics in the historiography of national philosophies. This article analyses the models of reception and influence used by Ukrainian historians of philosophy: the model of “influence without reception” (А. Tykholaz), the model of “studying philosophy” (D. Tschizewskij) and the model of “reception without influence” (V. Horskyi). Resting upon works by J.-L. Viellard-Baron and P. Hadot, the author tried to argue that: а) the place that reception studies occupies in historiography as well as understanding of its phenomenon is traditionally dictated by the perception of the historic-philosophical process, the genre of the historiography of philosophy and specific historiographic attitudes; b) reception is a complex phenomenon, which has totally different configurations and meanings in different periods of the history of philosophy and cannot be put into one formula; c) the application of obvious formulas from the contemporary vision of receptions in separate historical contexts can verify or objection of the originality or even the existence of separate philosophical traditions; d) through the reflection on the phenomenon of reception in all of its complexity it possible to reveal some aspects, research into which notably corrects our perception of the history of philosophy; e) the popular over the past decades idea of the history of philosophy as dialogue among philosophers is a challenge for the historiography, though it can have a positive effect on historic-philosophical research as well as on historic-philosophical discourse in general. Particularly, the research into reception and using dialogue as a regulatory idea can influence the international circulation of ideas and contribute to turning it into “rational dialogue”, promoted by P. Bourdieu.

Reception Theory, New Humanism, and T. S. Eliot

AbstractT. S. Eliot has been a major, if challenging, figure for students of reception and the Classical Tradition, and is implicated in an important debate on historicist versus aestheticist models of reception study. This article challenges assumptions about his position on, and practice of, reception. The politics implicit in theorists’ references to Eliot is teased out, and the position he took in response to inter-war New Humanism is shown to be predominantly historicist. An analysis of The Family Reunion (1939) then suggests that the Modernist-poetic approach he therefore took to the Oresteia broke so decisively with existing models of reception as to have called the fact of reception into question. The play is also shown to build on H.D.’s experiments in translation and to respond to Aeschylean receptions by Robinson Jeffers and Eugene O’Neill. It is further suggested that it anticipates several aspects of recent Reception Theory.

Erotics of the ruins: longing for the lost antiquity in Pierre Loti’s La Mort de Philae

ABSTRACT Where does the material presence of antiquity in ancient ruins fit in with the perception of the parallel declines of western civilisation and the possibility of an exotic “other”? This article investigates this question in relation to Pierre Loti’s La Mort de Philae (1908). It uses Joshua Billings “erotics” model for Classical reception, highlighting the dialectics of a never-satisfied desire to retrieve the absent from classical ruins. It demonstrates that the attraction of the classical past is heightened by its perceived imminent disappearance. Ruins, as physical traces as well as material absences, epitomise the dialectics of reception and reinterpretation of both Classics and the exotic operated by Loti. In the light of past and imminent decadences, Loti comes to valorise the fragmentary as a potent heritage of the ancient past as its incompleteness enhances its symbolic decadent value, and allows for a creative engagement that subverts the announced “aporia” of exotic travel writing.

ЭЛЕМЕНТЫ ВОСТОЧНОЙ ПОЭТИКИ КАК РЕГУЛЯТИВНЫЙ ИНСТРУМЕНТАРИЙ СОВРЕМЕННОГО ЛИТЕРАТУРНОГО ПРОЦЕССА

The article deals with the nature of the synthesis of modern Russian prose and elements of Eastern poetics. On the example of Victor Pelevin’s texts – Т (2009), Batman Apollo (2013), Secret views of Mount Fuji (2018) – the question of functioning in the author’s artistic discourse of the designated signs is objectified. In a special way in V.O. Pelevin’s prose the religious and philosophical aspect of Zen Buddhism as the adjacent direction of East culture is played. Elements of Eastern poetics organize the plot and thematic block of works in a special way. The variant principle of Viktor Pelevin’s writing organically complements the literary process, moving in a spiral of increment of world art practice. Moreover, reading is in a situation of multiple connotations of meanings, as well as a constructive relational assessment of being. Elements of oriental poetics in Pelevin discourse acquire shades of semantic tricks. The synergy of the author’s experiment is also becoming a reception model for the potential reader. An open dialogue, thus, produces the manipulation and synthesis of cultural signs with their own halo of readings. The analysis of the prose of Victor Pelevin confirms the idea that the compilation of different aesthetically world contemplation positions expanding the horizon of meaning, reduplicate the rhizome connotations. It is concluded that the implementation of Eastern poetics in the texts of postmodernism at the level of motives and images objectively concretizes the process of cultural synthesis of modern literature.

The Coming of the Spirit and the Laying on of Hands

The traditional Pentecostal understanding of the events of Acts 8.4-25 typically centers upon a two-stage model for the reception of the Spirit. While this article does not seek to preclude the plausibility of such a model, it does, however, seek to take a step further by providing a culturally-sensitive analysis concerning how the coming of the Spirit, the apostolic imposition of hands (Acts 8.17), and the concept of worship in ‘spirit and truth’ (Jn 4.24) serves as a paradigm for ethnic reconciliation.

Intelligent alarm system for hospitals using smartphone technology

During the last decade, attention was paid to detect the accident and call the ambulance as soon as possible, the situation was neglected after the arrival of the patient to the specified service point. This negligence led to an increase in the mortality rate, especially where the highest percentage of deaths occurred during the first hour after the accident. This highest Mortality can be avoided by providing proper health care after the arrival of the patient to the hospital, the proposed system reduces the rescue time after the arrival of a patient to the hospital, and it requires each hospital to be endowed with a reception model responsible for detecting and reporting accident situations to the emergency service. It was be found that there is an urgent need for a web-based hospital management system with a mobile web service to respond immediately to incidents in the event of an accident. This system utilizes the Android phone application to connect to the server for transferring the specified data to the hospital and it can be used for comprehensive accident analysis and management. In this paper, a combination of Android phone application, database, and visual studio 2012 was used to develop the system.

Urban Land Cover Classification of High-Resolution Aerial Imagery Using a Relation-Enhanced Multiscale Convolutional Network

Urban land cover classification for high-resolution images is a fundamental yet challenging task in remote sensing image analysis. Recently, deep learning techniques have achieved outstanding performance in high-resolution image classification, especially the methods based on deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs). However, the traditional CNNs using convolution operations with local receptive fields are not sufficient to model global contextual relations between objects. In addition, multiscale objects and the relatively small sample size in remote sensing have also limited classification accuracy. In this paper, a relation-enhanced multiscale convolutional network (REMSNet) method is proposed to overcome these weaknesses. A dense connectivity pattern and parallel multi-kernel convolution are combined to build a lightweight and varied receptive field sizes model. Then, the spatial relation-enhanced block and the channel relation-enhanced block are introduced into the network. They can adaptively learn global contextual relations between any two positions or feature maps to enhance feature representations. Moreover, we design a parallel multi-kernel deconvolution module and spatial path to further aggregate different scales information. The proposed network is used for urban land cover classification against two datasets: the ISPRS 2D semantic labelling contest of Vaihingen and an area of Shanghai of about 143 km2. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively capture long-range dependencies and improve the accuracy of land cover classification. Our model obtains an overall accuracy (OA) of 90.46% and a mean intersection-over-union (mIoU) of 0.8073 for Vaihingen and an OA of 88.55% and a mIoU of 0.7394 for Shanghai.

FIAT LUX

This article contributes an analytical overview of the evolution of photography in Spain over the last decades. The subject is broached both at the institutional level, that is, focusing on photography in public and private collections, galleries, museums and art centres; and in association with the cultural policies revolving around photography that have been implemented at the national or local level in recent decades. This includes open discussions and studies on the state of play that, be it from institutions, archives or art centres, whether public or private, revolve around the topics of collecting, teaching, research, dissemination and heritage that have crossed contemporary photography creation in any way. The study also includes an analysis of the publishing scene in connection with the theory and practice of photography in the context of postmodern aesthetic trends, as well as a tour through the current distribution and reception models from the diverse and many-sided outlook of contemporary creation.

An Integrative Model of Place Image, Product Image and Consumer Receptivity

Place image as an intangible cue has the power to influence the behavior of the buyer. Place in marketing discipline has been analyzed from country level to regional/territorial level. Focusing on a territorial context, the purpose of this study is to examine the place image effects on both the perception of local product and place as destination to visit. A local hand made batik industry from Yogyakarta is chosen to test the model. By analyzing 110 valid sample using SEM-PLS method, some findings from this study are: 1) Place image influences local product beliefs. 2) Product beliefs influence product choice intention. 3) Place image influences place beliefs. 4) Place beliefs influence place visit intention. This study contributes to the place image and product image integration model where majority of previous study were empirically examined as a separate model. By combining place image and its local product image, the local government may design distinct local product marketing strategy align with its local place image.

THE «QUEST NARRATIVE» RECEPTIVE MODEL IN MIKHAIL SHISHKIN’S STORY «BLIND MUSICIAN»

The article is devoted to the study of the receptive model of Mikhail Shishkin’s prose. The material of the story «Blind Musician» explores the mechanisms by which the text «routes» readers’ perception. This narrative can be considered to be «quest narrative», decoding which, a reader relies on various kinds of keys. One of the most signifi cant is the title, which is possible to interpret in terms of various contexts. Literary one leads us to an obvious comparison of the modern text with the Vladimir Korolenko’s famous story «The Blind Musician». Mythological one suggests correlation with ancient and Christian plots. Within the philosophical framework it is possible to establish a correlation of Mikhail Shishkin’s ideas with the teachings of Gnostics and Pythagoreans. Taking into account each of the listed semiotic codes allows a new decoding of the reference assignment of the sign put into the title. Thus, the «blind musician» turns out not only to be physically blind Roman, but also Evgenia, who needs to become mentally «blind» in order to continue to love, to be a «musician». The analysis revealed the peculiarities of the narrative organisation of Mikhail Shishkin’s text. The level of presentation of the narration turns out to be more important than the plot itself, there is a reconsideration of the main narrative instances, and the clear certainty of the subject of speech is lost.

The Reseptive and Productive Learning Models Based on Folktales for Learning Indonesian as a Foreign Language

This research is intended to describe and explain reseptive and productive learning models based on folktales for Learning Indonesian as a Foreign Language (Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing/BIPA). The research method used here is the qualitative descriptive method, using the content analysis technique. Data was collected from observation implementation of learning with the reseptive and productive models in the class, Indonesian students as a Foreign Language, and documents. The validity of data was verified through the triangulation method. Data analysis used the interactive analysis technique pioneered by Miles and Hubermann. The research results indicate that the appropriate learning model for introducing folktales to Learning Indonesian as a Foreign Language students is the receptive and productive models, which can be applied to improve the four language skills. The four language skills include listening, reading, speaking, and writing. The receptive learning model consists of the interest stage, enjoyment stage, and response stage. The productive learning model consists of writing stories, writing simple drama script, and roleplaying. This learning model consists of several methods through which foreign students can learn Indonesian actively, creatively, and enjoyably.

The engine hums… occasionally it even sings: A response to Sara MacKian’s keynote ‘The constant hum of the engine…’

In this response to Sarah MacKian’s conference keynote I take a personal experience as point of departure: my almost lifelong engagement with Bach’s cantata Ich habe genug. This leads to a discussion of the relationship between music and spirit, and how we as researchers can approach experiences with this relationship. A theoretical model of four levels of meaning in music opens up a number of ways to understand the affordances and appropriations of ‘deep’, ‘strong’ or ‘spiritual’ music experiences to clinical and non-clinical listeners. Examples from theory and empirical research in the receptive music therapy model Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) are used to illustrate a development from a more static-content-oriented approach to a more dynamic-process and interpersonal understanding of spiritual/transpersonal experiences with music.

09/10, Or, How Do Texts Work?

ABSTRACTThis paper proposes to describe the reception of literary texts with the help of attractors, a concept developed in chaos theory. The main thesis is that attractors can describe literary texts — especially highly fragmented and open contemporary texts — in a more differentiated way than reception theory does. With the concept of attractors, phenomena come into focus that only resonate on the margins of other models of reception. An analysis of the famous Latin American novel Los detectives salvajes written by Roberto Bolaño shows how incongruous, possible, unsettled and alleged meanings work together and create an impression of dispersion and convergence of meaning in the text. This can clearly be shown by an analysis organized around attractors.

Hardware error estimation model of signal reception in the task of monitoring the tightness of gas engineering systems

We propose a solution of the task of improving the accuracy of estimates of gas flow in gas engineering systems. Performed an analytical review of works of leading scientists in the field of the theory of supply. It has been established that the question of control and to prevent gas leaks remains relevant now. It is proved, that for engineering systems use gas for domestic purposes, where low pressure set leaks quite difficult due to the large spread of points of vulnerability, also the greatest risk are low-intensity gas leaks, that hardly controlled by hardware due to accounting errors. The analysis of constructive solutions to the engineering supply systems of low pressure. Installed geometric variety. Accepted hypothesis about the impact of the quantity and type of butt joints leak gas pipeline systems engineering in General. An algorithm is presented for vulnerability assessment elements engineering gas supply systems for leaks. The mathematical model for the evaluation of measuring error of parametric parameter of gas flow in the system. The technique for monitoring the tightness of gas systems engineering with the rationale for selecting the method of evaluation of error results.

Control of second-order asymmetric systems with time delay: Smith predictor approach

Abstract The feedback control for systems modeled as second-order linear dynamics with time delays is a challenge that received crescent attention nowadays. Flexible structures and structural systems are some remarkable examples that can be modeled as second-order dynamics. In the presence of delays, the well-known pole/eigenvalue assignment may fail due to the infinite-dimensional nature of the characteristic polynomials: the dominant eigenvalues can be erroneously placed in positions near to the imaginary axis, or even in unstable locations, that is, in the right-half plane. Recently, the authors have proposed a receptance-based delay compensation strategy that merges remarkable properties of receptance description and Filtered Smith Predictor (FSP). The obtained results outperformed pure pole/eigenvalue assignment techniques since the undesired delay effect is removed from the nominal characteristic equation. Hence, standard design strategies can be directly applied to control second-order systems with time delay based on a receptance model with no delay. In this work, these results are extended to deal with unstable second-order systems, an issue widespread in aeroelastic or friction-induced vibration systems. The FSP structure design is carried out in the discretized models of the system receptance to ensure internal stability as a consequence of particular filter design and implementation strategy. This procedure is possible due to a stable implementation structure for the receptance-based predictor in its digital form. Two typical examples, namely, aeroelastic flutter control and friction-induced vibration control, are used as benchmarks to verify the efficacy of the proposal.

IMPACT OF THE PERSONALITY, PROFESSIONALISM, AND SPIRITUALITY ON DYSFUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOUR (A CASE STUDY OF INDONESIAN ACCOUNTANTS)

Purpose of the study: This examination means to inspect the impact of locus of control on the reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing and to accountants’ professional commitment. We test the impact of accountants’ professional commitment to the reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing. We also dissect how work environment spirituality would moderate them.
 Methodology: The population was public accountants in Indonesia, selected using convenience sampling method due to the uncertainness of the population. Partial Least Square and WarPLS 6.0 were utilized to break down the information. The use of data collection methods in the form of online questionnaires directly addressed to all Indonesian accounting firms e-mail addresses.
 Main Findings: Locus of control proved to have positive effects on the behavioural dysfunctional audits reception and auditors' professional commitment. Professional commitment is not proven to harm the reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing. Work environment spirituality is not proven to moderate the relationship between professional commitment and reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing.
 Applications of this study: The more bound an auditor is to his profession, also makes him take actions that are less ethical, justifying any means so that his business can continue to run. Auditor's attachment to his profession gives an adverse impact. They need to develop themselves, switching to other professions, such as being an Accountant Educator, Management Accountant, or entering the public sector.
 Novelty/Originality of this study: This study combines reasoned action and contingency theory. It also connects locus of control and professional commitment. We also adopt work environment spirituality in the model of reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing that researchers have never used before. We also integrate extrinsic/environmental factor as a moderating, not as an independent variable. We also utilized online questionnaires.
