Comparative analysis of SAR sensors for effective tectonic lineament mapping in semiarid region by Chakouri Mohcine, Jellouli Amine, Hajaj Soufiane, El Hachimi Jaouad, Ouguinaz Abdelkarim, Aangri Abdelhaq, El Harti Abderrazak

“…The results of this evaluation show that the lineaments obtained of both polarizations of sentinel correlate better with geological units, the orientation of the tectonic system, shadow and slope maps. This is attributable to the high efficiency of VH polarization, which is not dependent on soil characteristics, in comparison with other polarizations that overestimated lineaments with different directions.…”

Influence of Altitude on the Spatiotemporal Variations of Meteorological Droughts in Mountain Regions of the Free State Province, South Africa (1960–2013) by M. Mbiriri, G. Mukwada, D. Manatsa

“…When the winds are largely northerly, Free State lies predominantly in the windward side of the Drakensberg Mountains but lies in the rain shadow when the winds are mostly southerly. The relationship between ENSO and SPI indicates stronger correlations for the early summer subseason than for the late summer subseason while overall presenting a diminishing intensity with height over the province.…”

Research on 26 GHz mm-wave channel measurements and modeling for outdoor microcells by Shu LI, Xiong-wen ZHAO, Qi WANG, Meng-jun WANG, Shao-hui SUN, Wei HONG

“…Based on the outdoor microce11 measurement campaign at 26 GHz，the path-1oss mode1，shadow fading and other 1arge sca1e parameters（LSPs）in mm-wave band were studied.An optimized c1ustering a1gorithm and Ricean K-factor extraction method was proposed.Differences between parametric and non-parametric mode1ing methodo1ogies，and the impacts on path-1oss and LSPs due to the measurement environments were investigated.The resu1ts show that non-parametric mode1ing method can en1arge the LSPs，especia11y the RMS angu1ar spread.G1ass windows on bui1ding surface and trees have significant effect on LSPs but have 1itt1e effect on path-1oss.The c1uster number has significant reduction at mi11imeter wave band compared to the frequencies be1ow 6 GHz.The channe1 mode1s and parameters deve1oped and extracted in proposed work are usefu1 for the 1ink and system 1eve1 simu1ations as we11 as p1anning of 5G radio systems at 26 GHz.…”

The Dweller on the Threshold: Whiteness, the Family and the End of Classical Cinema by Conall Cash

“…Through a discussion of two key American films of the 1940s and 1950s – Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt (1943) and John Ford's The Searchers (1956) – this article situates the breakdown of classical cinema, or what Gilles Deleuze calls the “crisis of the action-image”, in relation to the critique of whiteness and the family. …”

De la mise au silence à la prise de parole : la voix féminine de Martin Crimp à Sarah Kane by Solange Ayache

“…No longer a conventional character, the female subject, whose voice is either heard as a broken embodied token of a disturbed mind, or is silenced and replaced by the alienating narratives of others, is but a mere shadow, vestige or vocal image of herself. Polyonymous in Attempts on Her Life, anonymous in 4.48 Psychosis, “Anne”, as I will argue, is eclipsed in a post-traumatic silence in Crimp’s play, then restored on the front of a sacrificial stage in Kane’s, regaining her own power of speech in a poetic language made of echoes. …”

Apexification Management of Mandibular Second Premolar with a Blunderbuss Apex and Periapical Lesion of an Adult Patient by Chenshuang Li, Zhong Zheng, Xiaohong Deng, Lan Zhang, Baoyan Wang, Qingyu Guo, Min Zou

“…The aim of this case report is to share a successful apexification application in the mandibular premolar with a blunderbuss apex and periapical lesion of an adult patient by using calcium hydroxide: radiographically, spontaneous hard tissue barrier has been established, and narrowing canal space and decreasing area of periapical shadow were documented without complications. Taken together, our study indicates that patient’s age and tooth position may not be the critical limitation for apexification.…”

From homogeneous metric spaces to Lie groups by Cowling, Michael G., Kivioja, Ville, Le Donne, Enrico, Nicolussi Golo, Sebastiano, Ottazzi, Alessandro

“…We study homogeneous metric spaces, by which we mean connected, locally compact metric spaces whose isometry group acts transitively.After a review of a number of classical results, we use the Gleason–Iwasawa–Montgomery–Yamabe–Zippin structure theory to show that for all positive $ \epsilon $, each such space is $ (1,\epsilon ) $-quasi-isometric to a connected metric Lie group (metrized with a left-invariant distance that is not necessarily Riemannian).Next, we develop the structure theory of Lie groups to show that every homogeneous metric manifold is homeomorphically roughly isometric to a quotient space of a connected amenable Lie group, and roughly isometric to a simply connected solvable metric Lie group.Third, we investigate solvable metric Lie groups in more detail, and expound on and extend work of Gordon and Wilson [31, 32] and Jablonski [44] on these, showing, for instance, that connected solvable Lie groups may be made isometric if and only if they have the same real-shadow.Finally, we show that homogeneous metric spaces that admit a metric dilation are all metric Lie groups with an automorphic dilation.…”
