Full textAbstract:
The article focuses on iteration in the Russian language, which is represented by different semantic types, based on the nature of the repetitive meaning and the ways of expressing it. Therefore, the author describes this semantic complex within the framework of a functional-semantic field, which includes heterogeneous forms of repetition of an action, including some types of usage of perfective verbs. The approach used in this article raises the question of the semantic scope of iterativity, since the boundaries between the presence and absence of elements of repetition are in some cases vague. The following factors serve as the basis for the classification of iteratives: a) the nature of the limited / unlimited repetitiveness, b) the degree of localization of the action, associated with the length of the temporal interval between the different actions, c) whether the iterative meaning is developed under the influence of the context (derived iteration), or connected to the verbal semantics (internal verbal iteration), d) the basic position in relation to the aspectual meaning of the verb to which the repetitive meaning is related to.

The aim of the research is to identify the specifics of the functioning of iterative repetition with the semantics of cyclicity in the individual style of I. A. Bunin. The article considers iterative repetition as a functional grammatical category that constitutes the functional-semantic field of aspectuality; details the ways of expressing iterative repetition in a literary text at the lexical, morphological and syntactic levels; creates a semantic model of iterative repetition with the meaning of cyclicity in the work ‘Dark Alleys’ by I. A. Bunin. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time the category of iteration is considered in I. A. Bunin’s work from the point of view of the functional approach. The iterative meaning is studied taking into account not only the paradigmatics, but also the syntagmatics of verb forms. As a result, it has been found that the category of iterative repetition in the work of I. A. Bunin is presented as a complex and branched system of multi-level linguistic means. It has been revealed that the category of iterative repetition as an expressive means is actively used in Bunin’s texts when describing everyday habits, lifestyle and activities of characters. It has also been determined that the semantic meaning of iterativity is combined with other components of the functional-semantic field of aspectuality: duration, phase and statality.

Abstract This paper examines the function and distribution of *CoC-éye/o- presents (traditionally labelled as causatives/iteratives) in PIE in the light of recent theoretical and typological contributions on causative formations crosslinguistically. In particular, this paper argues that: 1. The oldest function of CoC-éye/o- presents in PIE is to derive causative presents to unaccusative base verbs, as well as to some transitive verbs with an affected subject. The development of the iterative meaning is secondary and einzelsprachlich. 2. In the daughter languages, the category developed in two different directions (following Shibatani & Pardeshi’s causative continuum), depending on its degree of productivity. In Greek and Latin, the category became unproductive and underwent a “causative/non-causative” split, whereby the iterative meaning developed under certain conditions. A parallel development of the causative morpheme in the Mayan language K’iche’ is discussed into detail. 3. In Vedic and Proto-Germanic, the category became more productive and did not develop iterative semantics.

Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the perfective progressive periphrasis (PPP) in Brazilian Portuguese (BrP) and Argentinian Spanish (AS) in a comparative way. Based on different linguistic tests, we make two statements regarding the PPP in comparison with the imperfective progressive periphrasis (IPP). Firstly, we claim that the PPP has a progressive and perfective meaning. Secondly, we claim that the PPP allows iterative readings when combined with telic events (i.e., achievements in BrP and AS and accomplishments just in AS). We propose a syntactic and semantic analysis which accounts for these observations in a compositional way: while the gerund form expresses a progressive meaning (present in both periphrases), the auxiliary on the PPP expresses a perfective meaning which allows the iterative readings observed in this periphrasis.Keywords: verbal aspect; actionality; periphrasis; semantics; syntax.Resumo: Neste artigo, analisamos a perífrase perfectiva progressiva (PPP) no português brasileiro (PB) e no espanhol argentino (EA), de modo comparativo. Baseado em testes linguísticos, fazemos duas afirmações sobre a PPP em comparação com a perífrase imperfectiva progressiva. Em primeiro lugar, afirmamos que a PPP tem significado progressivo e perfectivo. Em segundo lugar, afirmamos que a PPP permite leituras iterativas quando combinada com eventos télicos (achievements no PB e no EA e accomplishments somente no EA). Propomos uma análise sintático-semântica que dá conta dessas observações de um modo composicional: ao passo que a forma do gerúndio expressa o significado progressivo (presente em ambas as perífrases), o auxiliar na PPP expressão um significado perfectivo que permite a leitura iterativa observada nessa perífrase.Palavras-chave: aspecto verbal; acionalidade; perífrase; semântica; sintaxe.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Pressure-based methods have been demonstrated to be powerful for solving many practical problems in engineering. In many pressure-based methods, inner iterative processes are proposed to get efficient solutions. However, the number of inner iterations is set empirically and kept fixed during the whole computation for different problems, which is overestimated in some computations but underestimated in other computations. This paper aims to develop an algorithm with adaptive inner iteration processes for steady and unsteady incompressible flows. Design/methodology/approach In this work, with the use of two different criteria in two inner iterative processes, a mechanism is proposed to control inner iteration processes to make the number of inner iterations vary during computing according to different problems. By doing so, adaptive inner iteration processes can be achieved. Findings The adaptive inner iterative algorithm is verified to be valid by solving classic steady and unsteady incompressible problems. Results show that the adaptive inner iteration algorithm works more efficient than the fixed inner iteration one. Originality/value The algorithm with adaptive inner iteration processes is first proposed in this paper. As the mechanism for controlling inner iteration processes is based on physical meaning and the feature of iterative calculations, it can be used in any methods where there exist inner iteration processes. It is not limited for incompressible flows. The performance of the adaptive inner iteration processes in compressible flows is conducted in a further study.

Full textAbstract:
Objective – In order to better contextualize library data about patron satisfaction with reference services, we analyzed an existing corpus of chat transcripts. Having conducted a similar analysis in 2010, we also compared librarian behaviors over time.
 
 Methods – Drawing from the library literature, we identified a set of librarian behaviors closely associated with patron satisfaction. These behaviors include listening to and understanding patrons’ needs, inviting patrons to use the service again, and providing instruction or completing a search for patrons. Analysis of the chat transcripts included establishing a coding schema, applying these codes to individual chat transcripts, and analyzing these codes across the corpus of transcripts for frequency and correlation with other codes. The currently presented analysis used chat transcripts from the fall of 2013 and seeks changes in librarian behavior over time in order to gauge the success of establishing best practices and improving training standardization over the last three years.
 
 Results – The analysis shows that librarian behaviors have changed over time, pointing to what campus librarians are doing well, and that implementation of best practices at a campus level after the 2010 analysis may have increased these positive behaviors. The analysis also shows opportunities for further standardization and reinforcement of best practices. 
 
 Conclusion – Qualitative analysis of already-collected data serves as a model for other units and suggests areas for process improvement, including enhanced coder training and code schema design. Further analysis of chat patrons’ questions is also warranted, including investigation of the relationship between subject- and location-specific questions and referrals.

Full textAbstract:
Neural semantic parsers usually fail to parse long and complex utterances into correct meaning representations, due to the lack of exploiting the principle of compositionality. To address this issue, we present a novel framework for boosting neural semantic parsers via iterative utterance segmentation. Given an input utterance, our framework iterates between two neural modules: a segmenter for segmenting a span from the utterance, and a parser for mapping the span into a partial meaning representation. Then, these intermediate parsing results are composed into the final meaning representation. One key advantage is that this framework does not require any handcraft templates or additional labeled data for utterance segmentation: we achieve this through proposing a novel training method, in which the parser provides pseudo supervision for the segmenter. Experiments on Geo, ComplexWebQuestions and Formulas show that our framework can consistently improve performances of neural semantic parsers in different domains. On data splits that require compositional generalization, our framework brings significant accuracy gains: Geo 63.1~81.2, Formulas 59.7~72.7, ComplexWebQuestions 27.1~56.3.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractTangent fibrations generate a “multi-floored tower”, while raising from one of its floors to the next one, one practically reiterates the previously performed actions. In this way, the "tower" admits a ladder-shaped structure. Raising to the first floors suffices for iteratively performing the subsequent steps. The paper mainly studies the tangent functor. We describe the structure of multiple vector bundle which naturally appears on the floors, tangent maps, sector-forms, the lift of vector fields to upper floors. Further, we show how tangent groups of Lie groups lead to gauge theory, and explain in this context the meaning of covariant differentiation. Finally, we will point out within the floors special subbundles - the osculating bundles, which play an essential role in classical theories.

Full textAbstract:
Background/Objectives:Breast and cervical cancer screening programs are essential for early detection and timely treatment, yet participation rates remain suboptimal. Within a patient-centered care approach, engagement is increasingly viewed as a dynamic and emotionally grounded process. The literature conceptualizes three phases of engagement in healthcare decision-making: ‘recruit’, ‘retain’, and ‘sustain’. When these phases intersect with the structured pathway of cancer screening, they generate specific meaning-making challenges that shape how women relate to prevention and care. This study adopts the lens of Iterative Situated Engagement (ISE) to explore how women experience and negotiate these challenges, differentiating them across the three engagement phases. Methods: A theory-driven qualitative design was adopted. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 40 women aged 25–69 years participating in public breast and cervical cancer screening programs. Thematic analysis was conducted using the Framework Method. Results: In the ‘recruit’ phase, engagement was driven by Cancer Risk Monitoring, Self-care Motivation, Fear of Death Management, and Coincidence. The ‘retain’ phase emphasized Trust in Healthcare Providers, Accessibility of Services, Recurrent Invitations, and Informal Result Previews. About the ‘sustain’ phase, Continuity of Healthcare Providers, Driving Best Practices Dissemination, Flexible Organization of Healthcare Services, and Shorter Waiting Times for Results were highlighted as key factors in maintaining engagement over time. Conclusions: Women’s engagement in cancer screening emerges as a dynamic, multi-phase process shaped by psychological, emotional, and organizational levels. These findings contribute to the development of the ISE conceptual proposal, which frames participation as an iterative, situated, and meaning-making trajectory. Strengthening personalized health communication and improving the coordination of primary care services could enhance sustained participation in screening programs, supporting strategies to reduce health disparities and promote preventive practices.

How are smells invested with meaning and how do those meanings structure interactions and group relations? I use cultural theories of meaning-making to explore these questions, situating my inquiry in the world of commercially marketed perfumes. Using blind smell tests in focus groups, I examine how individuals make sense of certain fragrances absent direction from manufacturers or marketing materials. I find that most participants can correctly decode perfume manufacturers’ intended message, target users, and usage sites. I unpack the role of culture in these initial classifications of smells, and later, in how participants apply those evaluations to reify social boundaries and reproduce social relations—especially with reference to race and class. I also identify two cognitive mechanisms—embodied simulation and iterative reprocessing—illustrating how these mechanisms facilitate a dynamic interaction between practical and discursive modes of consciousness in deciphering smells. Finally, I elaborate the role of sociocultural location in olfactory meaning-making. People in all locations may be familiar with public olfactory codes, but social position influences how participants think about, interpret, and apply those codes in meaning-making.

Full textAbstract:
This research takes an iterative multiple case study approach and seeks new insight from common language in the workplace - specifically exploring what we mean when we say that we're at our best in work. Being at your best is a common term in the workplace but one that is not reflected in the academic literature. Given that it is commonly used, perhaps there is a common or shared meaning. Exploring that shared meaning could help identify how to get more from individuals and support the development of positive workplaces. There are three strands to this research thesis. Firstly, the notion of being at one's best is introduced. The literature review identifies an overlap in the concepts of work performance, engagement and commitment. These three concepts are complex and have challenges of definition and measurement. It is suggested that being at one's best can be understood as involving high performance, engagement and commitment and will involve factors that are consistent to each of the three concepts. The overlap of the concepts is demonstrated in the pilot studies undertaken in three retail stores: the highest performing store; the store with the highest staff engagement survey results; and the store with the longest serving (committed) staff. Interviews, wordlists and questionnaires were interrogated and consistent themes across the 3 contexts formed a tentative framework of positive subjective states and positive behavioural patterns. Secondly, this thesis explores the possibility of a shared meaning of being at one's best - extending the research to wider organisations. Further case studies are undertaken involving a total of 154 individuals in: a highly engaged hotel team; a high performing executive search team; the top performing shop managers in one company; and a study of individuals with at least five years' service and intending to stay in their jobs. The common experiences of these individuals form the refined framework that describes being at one's best in terms of: Positive subjective states (feelings); Positive behavioural patterns; and values. Individuals were feeling positive about themselves, their job, and their colleagues. They also showed positive behaviours related to achieving, supporting, and interacting. The connection between an individual's values and their work was also highlighted as playing a role in being at one's. The third and final strand of the research is the opportunity to reflect on techniques used to explore shared meaning. There is little consistency in the literature regarding how to explore shared meaning. The iterative approach of this research allowed for reflection on: interviews, questionnaires, word lists, focus groups and mental model activities as potential techniques for exploring shared meaning. The reflections provide insight regarding each technique and lead to the suggestion that focus groups are used earlier in the process of exploring shared meaning in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Strategy constitutes an ‘intellectual system’, where actions and expectations are interrelated. Ideas and actions have meaning and effect in a wider context in which other related parts need to be taken into consideration. Following Freedman, the importance of the social settings must be emphasized to illuminate how deterrence works and what it means. Strategy is about human choices, in given situations, rather than about fate and predestination. And for this reason, the strategist has to assess their own options, as well as those of others, and how these influence one another. This analysis suggests that strategy is an inherently social activity that can never be separated from its social context. It shows the importance of understanding social context in the iterative and interactive world of strategy, and also the relationship between ideas and empirical realities.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter uncovers an alternative provenance and meaning for the Puritan covenant by returning it to its place in an early modern context of outward looking, cosmopolitan thought. This return is associated with the Renewal Covenant, which had its first iteration around the time of King Philip’s War in 1676 but experienced a resurgence from the mid-1680s‒1690s and beyond. This second Renewal Covenant was distinguished from earlier covenants and earlier versions of covenant renewal by shifting emphasis away from baptism, church membership, and general declension, to issues of corporate membership in the cosmopolis.

Full textAbstract:
Informed by historical interests and contemporary trauma theories, this chapter reads written prophecy in the Hebrew Bible—as opposed to its oral iteration—as ancient Israel’s disaster and survival literature. Specifically, the literarization of prophecy connects word and sign-act to prophetic performance of the realities of trauma. When this complex alchemy “enacts” the horrors of war, exile, and confinement through the prism of word and deed, it (1) gives expression to unspeakable loss, (2) generates space for the work of grief, and (3) constructs new trajectories of meaning for survivors struggling to cope with the collapse of their social and symbolic worlds.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the distinctive features of the Multiperspectival Approach (MPA) to research: its theoretical and philosophical background, the questions it addresses, and the research orientations it enables. The chapter explains how MPA offers researchers a heuristic that addresses ontological and epistemological challenges to research that are central to the language-context relationship and consequential for any researcher who seeks to make claims about the meaning of language in the lives of others at particular sites. The chapter provides detailed background and guidance on what MPA involves and its value as a practical ontology that enables researchers to discover – rather than to search – the worlds of their participants, iteratively to learn through this process of discovery, developing warrants and finding themes to bridge these worlds through multiple, mutually-corroborating perspectives.

We contrast two Universe-outlooks and universality-sources. The first—localism—runs bottom-up and is in the vein of modern iterative set theory, generating ever more sets but all limited unities and barring an ur-Universe taken as a primary—the prime-object/unity. This contrasts with an absolutely infinite Universe-first outlook, globalism, inspired by some remarks on Cantor but later exiled by Zermelo. The metaphysics is now all top-down, and all sets (e.g. large cardinals) are regarded as generated fragments. The role of the (Godel-central) reflection principle is dissected.?

Making a game can be a creative act for students—much like writing a novel, making artwork, or designing a science experiment, it is a way to “play” with ideas. Game making is a creative and iterative process, and it may help students develop the ability to think non-linearly, create and understand systems, and hone such 21st century skills as critical and analytical thinking skills, while allowing deeper explorations of social issues that afford avenues for storytelling, allowing both game players and game makers to engage in meaning-making experiences. In the art classroom, students can explore design considerations, such as color, shape, balance, composition, rhythm, and meaning making. Game making is an iterative, multi-disciplinary mode of self-expression and communication, and it is a demonstrable example of student learning.

Full textAbstract:
Developing an embedded software solution can be time consuming and challenging especially for non-software trained engineers. This is because traditionally, embedded software is programmed manually in proprietary computer languages such as C, C++, Java and assembly languages, meaning that the developers have to be familiar with at least one of these languages. In addition, most of the embedded software design environments do not cater for both microprocessors-based and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based embedded computing environments, making the development process even more difficult without the assistance of a common method. This chapter proposes a design of a new embedded system code generator framework which is based on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61499 Function Block, XML and EBNF. Along with this code generator, an Iterative Knowledge Based Code Generator (IKBCG) is presented to improve the accuracy of the target codes.

Abstract I was invited, in 1960 I believe, by Abe Taub at the University of Illinois, to a colloquium lecture there, and before the lecture, I was asked by Professor Taub what my current research was. I mentioned two areas, one being the use of Chebyshev polynomials in the theory of iterative methods in linear algebra. Taub mentioned then that he had a student (who turned out to be Gene Golub) working on similar ideas. What I learned later was that Taub told Gene that “if Varga publishes first, you will have to write a new thesis”. During that visit, I later met Gene, who was visibly shaken about all of this, and I suggested that we discuss this further over coffee. There was indeed overlap in our results, but Gene did things that I hadn’t done, and conversely. We then agreed to write a paper, in two parts, which appeared in Numerical Mathematics in 1961. This paper was surely better than either of us could have done alone, and it was quite a successful research paper, which was highly referenced. Adding to all of this is that Gene has often said that “Varga saved my life,” meaning that he didn’t have to write a second thesis! I have often been asked why Gene and I didn’t write more papers together. Sincerely, it would have been nice, but I wandered, as time went by, more into approximation theory and complex function theory, where my PhD thesis arose, and Gene had chosen other interesting areas in which to work. He had been a stellar figure in the area of numerical analysis, and this field owes him much for his deep and useful research results.

During a human-robot interaction by dialogue/voice, the robot cannot extract semantic meaning from the words used, limiting the intervention itself. Semantic knowledge could be a solution by structuring information according to its meaning and its semantic associations. Applied to social robotics, it could lead to a natural and fluid human-robot interaction. Ontologies are useful representations of semantic knowledge, as they capture the relationships between objects and entities. This paper presents new ideas for ontology generation using already generated ontologies as feedback in an iterative way to do it dynamically. This paper also collects and describes the concepts applied in the proposed methodology and discusses the challenges to be overcome.

Full textAbstract:
“The Iterative Cogito, or the Sum of Each and Every Time” explicates Nancy’s radical and foundational rereading of Descartes, first in the 1978 monograph, Ego sum, then over the course of the rest of Nancy’s work. Nancy reads Descartes’s cogito as a singular plural event whose “truth” requires its incessant reiteration “each and every time.” This sense of a performative or “iterative” cogito, finitely limited or interrupted by its singular (st)uttering, means that it must be endlessly repeated to be “true.” The analysis enabled by this perspective opens a set of figures that will stake out the senses of the scene of writing, of philosophy’s self-presentation, of world-making or “fabling,” and of corporal areality. All of these emerge in later works as prominent concerns of Nancy’s capacious philosophical attention. Most importantly, Nancy effectively questions received assumptions about the duality of mind and body in Descartes by unraveling the ways in which thinking and perceiving, meaning and sensation, are differing but interrelated forms of cogitation, differing kinds of sense-making as a practice of difference.

Full textAbstract:
Reading is a complex process whereby we identify and transform a written message into meaning so that we can respond to it. How do we evaluate how easy a piece of typography is to read? Investigations by psychologists into reading can identify the factors that make type legible under different circumstances, and suggest the best solutions to facilitate reading. Designers and psychologists working together can focus on user needs and, through iterative design, develop the most appropriate solutions. ‘Making typography legible’ explains the guidelines for legibility. There are several variables that affect legibility: the relationship of line length to line spacing, the arrangement of type, and the choice of typeface.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we examine the development of a framework for musculoskeletal system analysis, leveraging screw-theoretic techniques traditionally employed for the analysis of articulated multi-body systems (MBS). The case study of analysis of bite-and muscle-forces in the jaws of members of the felid (cat) family is intended to highlight the critical aspects. The underlying articulated structure and superimposed musculature of the felid jaws permit modeling as a parallel articulated MBS. Specifically, such systems share many common features with the subclass of cable actuated parallel MBS, including redundancy in actuation and unidirectional nature of actuation forces. The screw-theoretic model formulation is intended to enable development of a computationally efficient scheme for resolving such redundancy while retaining explicit geometric meaning in terms of lines of action, motions, and forces. The resulting low-order computational model is well suited for iterative “what-if” force optimization and muscle location studies. A MATLAB based GUI was developed and validated to help the user implement such iterative simulation-based muscle location studies in simulation or on a Hardware-in-the-Loop test-bed.

Full textAbstract:
The localization of the city of Liège, in the Meuse (Maas) valley, later the development of its
 industries and its port, were all conditioned by the natural geography of its site. Yet today the
 site itself and its natural characteristics are seldom perceptible from within the city. The large
 scale destructions in the city fabric during the last two centuries broke up its historical siteresponsive
 urban morphology. The disappearing industry left the landscape scarred with now
 meaningless traces, and no strong alternative vision for its future. While the region is waiting for
 “the” solution, for the definitive project that will give it new impulse and identity, the abandoned
 industrial sites and many of their surroundings are turning into “non-sites”.
 To gain a new vision specific to the valley, one must read todays’ landscape as a palimpsest left
 by rural uses and urban developments, including industrial artifacts, overlaid on its original
 geomorphology. A “project” approach, such as that proposed by many landscape architects at
 different scales, from garden to forest and larger urban development, offers a way of observing
 and interpreting the landscape, eventually leading to iterative, local interventions, (“landscape
 acupuncture”). Inspired by the site-responsive agricultural past of the valley, the interventions
 should lead to a new spatial language of urban agriculture and forestry. Each of these
 interventions can turn into a “landscape laboratory”, involving local stakeholders, whose aim is
 to articulate small scale landscape elements with long-term place and time-contextual
 investment, and thus redefine its identity.

"Validation Exercises for the Calculation of the Flow Around a Squared Column With Rounded Corners at High Reynolds Numbers With the RANS Equations." In ASME 2017 36th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/omae2017-61937.
Full textAbstract:
This paper presents Validation studies, i.e. evaluation of the modelling error, for the ensemble averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations supplemented by eddy-viscosity models (SST k-ω and Spalart & Allmaras). The selected test case is the flow around a squared column with rounded corners at Reynolds number ranging from 105 to 107. Selected flow quantities include time-averaged quantities of drag and lift coefficients, base pressure coefficient, Strouhal number and the standard deviation of the lift coefficient. For this latter quantity, ensemble (phase) averaging must also be applied to the experimental data to obtain quantities with the same physical meaning, as illustrated in this work. Even for the simple assumption of two-dimensional flow of the present simulations, the level of grid refinement and iterative convergence criteria required to obtain acceptable numerical uncertainties is more demanding than those typically observed in the open literature. However, the most important result obtained in this study is that the use of turbulence models developed for statistically steady flows may lead to flow fields that physically are at least questionable. From the three Reynolds numbers tested using three eddy-viscosity models, statistically periodic solutions with zero lift were only obtained with the SST k-ω at Re = 105. However, in that case, it is possible to numerically (including statistical, iterative and discretization errors) converge two different flow fields for the same space boundary conditions, but different solution strategies (start up of the vortex shedding).

Geir, Evensen. "On the Formulation of the Ensemble History-Matching Problem." In SPE Reservoir Simulation Conference. SPE, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/212232-ms.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper revisits the formulation of the history-matching problem solved using state-of-the-art ensemble methods. It shows how the standard problem formulation is flawed and ignores crucial components, including a stochastic forcing of the ensemble realizations to account for errors in the historical rates and the apparent dependency of the rate data meaning they have correlated errors in time. Also, the paper shows how we can use iterative ensemble smoothers to solve a consistent formulation for the history-matching problem where we augment the rate-control errors to the state vector and estimate them together with the uncertain geologic model parameters. Updating these errors and then using them to force the reservoir simulations leads to an improved posterior ensemble of prediction models that better cover the observations with more substantial and realistic uncertainty. The new formulation derives directly from the sampling of the Bayes’ posterior. The proposed formulation leads to a weaker but more realistic update of the reservoir model parameters. We avoid overfitting, and have a more realistic representation of the ensemble-prediction uncertainty that better covers the historical rates within their errors.

Full textAbstract:
This practice-oriented design research project investigates the question: What curatorial publishing approach might be applied to the development of a distinctive print-based, multivocal publication that fosters communities and reflects diversity? Publication design conventions are rooted in graphic systems that develop an aesthetic sense of unity, typically overseen by an editor to ensure a consistent visual identity. Over the last 20 years, Threaded Magazine, the site of inquiry, has developed a curatorial and editorial model that fosters dialogue between featured practitioners and their practices, promoting plurality and inclusiveness. However, this approach presents a complex challenge concerning graphic design conventions commonly held by similar editorial products. This project aims to investigate and establish a visual language that can address this dichotomy. The project is contextualised by literature on editorial practice, the curatorial concept in editorship and graphic design practice and citizenship. It employs two distinct methodological frameworks; the first was used for the elaboration of this confirmation of candidature and the second is designed for the production stage of the thesis. The initial framework involves a literature review and the production of a compendium on the landscape of independent publishers in New Zealand, interviews with specialists and the examination of 21 issues of Threaded Magazine. The second framework will employ process visualisation through infographics, prototypes and iterative experimentation, advisory groups, collaboration and co-design. The study contributes to knowledge through a reconsideration of the term curatorial, moving it beyond its association with museum collections to understand its application and meaning in the context of independent magazine publishing that operates within a community-centred framework.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper documents the short apron drop tests that were conducted in support of ACC Focal Project I. The objective of Focal Project I, which has been successfully completed, was to develop a composite front apron that demonstrated acceptable structural and energy management characteristics while using a manufacturable preform configuration. The purpose of the short apron drop tests described in this paper was to validate various composite apron fabric/reinforcement designs and crush initiation methods in terms of their ability to produce stable progressive crush at acceptable force levels in frontal axial impacts prior to full scale sled, cart, and barrier tests. Most of the design approaches evaluated in these short apron tests were selected on the basis of promising performance in crush tube tests, of both hourglass (apron lower rail) and square-to-rectangular (apron upper rail) cross-section crush tubes. The subject short apron drop tests allowed a full scale check of these concepts on the apron level prior to significantly more expensive and time consuming full scale sled and barrier testing. A total of 17 such drop tests were conducted during the several year duration of Focal Project I, testing in general being in more of an iterative mode where we kept trying to move closer to the desired goal. The fact that these tests proved to be an important contributor to the success of Focal Project I is based on two observations, first the fact that more than one test was necessary, meaning that the first design (and several subsequent iterations) didn’t result in the desired response and second that the final short apron test, which was an unqualified success, gave support for the final successful full scale barrier test.

Full textAbstract:
A frequency tracer (FT) based on noncollinear second harmonic generation autocorrelator for two-dimensional time-frequency imaging of a single femtosecond light pulse without using a spectral apparatus [1] had implemented for a first time. An experimental test of frequency tracer has been performed by measuring the instantaneous frequency of femtosecond pulses produced by a chirped pulse amplification Ti:sapphire laser system. In a normal operation the system is able to produce pulses up to 1.5 mJ energy and about 90 fs duration FWHM. The frequency traces were collected for pulses at different compressor grating separations. Experimental data on the linear chirp and pulse duration have been checked against a simple model, where the shape of the gausian pulse changes due to propagation through a dispersive path between pair of diffraction grating in a compressor. Detuning of the grating separation from its optimal value results in quadratic (in terms of frequency) phase shift of spectral components of output pulse. The data on chirp and pulse duration versus grating separation are in a good agreement with the estimations of dispersions at the system output. The registered images shown not only linear chirp of pulses (which was measured unambiguously) but also the fourth order phase distortion (cubic chirp). We prove by numerical calculations that images produced by the frequency tracer have simple intuitive meaning: the frequency trace is formed by maxima of two-dimensional image and does not require any iterative retrieval algorithm for visualising the phase distortions [2]. The calculations show that the second-harmonic frequency tracer allows to measure the even-order phase distortions of femtosecond light pulses: chirp, fourth-order, etc. These distortions include the phase self-modulation (Kerr-nonlinear contribution) of symmetric pulse.

Full textAbstract:
Iteration in design has different meanings, ranging from simple task repetition to heuristic reasoning processes. Determining the need to iterate is important to improve the design process on cost, time, and quality, but currently there is no categorization of iterations conducive to this goal. After exploring the possible causes and attempts to address them, we propose to classify iterations as rework, design, or behavioral. This framework suggests that design teams should try to eliminate rework iterations, perform design iterations without skipping abstraction levels, and do behavioral iterations in parallel.

HIGH PRECISION IDENTIFICATION METHOD OF MASS AND STIFFNESS MATRIX FOR SHEAR-TYPE FRAME TEST MODEL. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.18057/ijasc.2023.19.2.6.
Full textAbstract:
In the direct method of identifying the physical parameters of the shear-type frame structures through the frequencies and modes from the experimental modal analysis (EMA), the accuracy of the lumped mass depends on the initial mass, while the identified mass matrix and stiffness matrix are prone to generate some matrix elements without any physical meaning. In this paper, based on the natural frequencies and modes obtained from the EMA, an iterative constrained optimization solution for correcting mass matrix and a least squares solution for the lateral stiffness are proposed. The method takes the total mass of the test model as the constraint condition and develops an iterative correction method for the lumped mass, which is independent of the initial lumped mass. When the measured modes are exact, the iterative solution converges to the exact solution. On this basis, the least squares calculation equation of the lateral stiffness is established according to the natural frequencies and modes. Taking the numerical model of a 3-story steel frame structure as an example, the influence of errors of measured modes on the identification accuracy is investigated. Then, a 2-story steel frame test model is used to identify the mass matrix and stiffness matrix under three different counterweights. Numerical and experimental results show that the proposed method has good accuracy and stability, and the identified mass matrix and stiffness matrix have clear physical significance.
