Degeneration of Character, Aesthetics of Origin, and Augmented Absence in Posthuman Cinema by Savaş Keskin

“…Computers, which have evolved from merely assisting humans to becoming ‘social performers,’ are recontextualized in this article as ‘cinematic performers’ thanks to their artificial intelligence, and are evaluated solely based on their structural presence. The concept of the performer is used as a conceptual measure against the inequality effect of the masculine and gendered use of the term ‘actor’ in cinema. …”

Modeling the Meaning of Individual Words Using Cultural Cartography and Keystroke Dynamics by Tatiana A. Litvinova, Olga V. Dekhnich

“…., “cultural cartography using word embeddings”) and a new list of features developed by the authors to describe individual differences in the meaning of a word based on the data from neurobiology about the meaning structure of word. A set of data analysis methods (linear mixed models, principal components analysis, hierarchical clustering on principal components) implemented in R packages is used to reveal individual differences in the word meaning in terms of the proposed list of features and association of the revealed differences with participants’ characteristics. …”

The impact of deprivation and neighbourhood food environments on home food environments, parental feeding practices, child eating behaviours, food preferences and BMI: The Family F... by Andrea D Smith, Alice Kininmonth, Kristiane Tommerup, David Boniface, Chiara Gericke, Tiffany Denning, Carolyn Summerbell, Christina Vogel, Clare Llewellyn

“…Greater deprivation was also associated with a more obesogenic home food environment (β = -0.19, p < 0.001) and lower meal structure (β = 0.17, p < 0.001). Exposure to less healthy neighbourhood food environments around and between home and school were associated with a more obesogenic home food environment (β = -0.07, p < 0.01), but no significant associations were found with feeding practices, child eating behaviours or child BMI. …”

Experimental and machine learning-driven assessment of IS 2062 steel under double-base propellant combustion conditions by Hari Singh, Dola Sundeep, C. Chandrasekhara Sastry, Eswaramoorthy K Varadharaj

“…Conversely, Test-07 exceeded 355–372 ksc with burn rates surpassing 41 mm/s, exhibiting erosive burning and accelerated steel erosion.Material characterization techniques, including X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman Spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), revealed significant oxidation, scale formation, and localized surface degradation, in high-temperature regions around 2500 Kelvinat the nozzle throat inducing structural changes. To enhance predictive accuracy, machine learning models Linear Regression, Random Forest Regression, Support Vector Machines (SVM), K-Means Clustering, and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were employed to analyze combustion-induced degradation trends, confirming Test-06 as the optimal balance of stability and high performance. …”
