Academic literature on the topic 'Integral identities'

In this paper, using the integral identities of Bessel functions, we obtain new integral identities for the products of Airy functions. We get various integrals involving the Widder potential, the Fourier sine and cosine transforms of the products of Airy functions in terms of some special functions.

We extend the Montgomery identities for the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. We also use these Montgomery identities to establish some new integral inequalities. Finally, we develop some integral inequalities for the fractional integral using differentiable convex functions.

In this paper, we establish three fundamental integral identities by the first- and second-order derivatives for a given function via the fractional integrals with exponential kernel. With the help of these new fractional integral identities, we introduce a few interesting Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities involving left-sided and right-sided fractional integrals with exponential kernels for convex functions. Finally, some applications to special means of real number are presented.

In this paper, we derive certain relations of the series of two variable Srivastava-Daoust functions with some known Mittag- Leffler and hypergeometric functions of two variables. Again, by these functions we obtain certain identities with other integral representations also. Finally, on application of these contour integral formulae of respective Srivastava-Daoust functions, we determine certain identities of the integrals involving the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta type functions.

Non-hematopoietic stromal cells (SCs) promote and regulate adaptive immunity through numerous direct and indirect mechanisms. SCs construct and support the secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) in which lymphocytes crawl on stromal networks and inspect antigen-presenting cells for surface-display of cognate antigens. SCs also secrete survival factors and chemotactic cues that recruit, organize, and facilitate interactions among these leukocytes. They influence antigen access by secreting and ensheathing extracellular matrix-based conduit networks that rapidly convey small, soluble lymph-borne molecules to the SLO core. Furthermore, lymph node stromal cells (LNSCs) directly induce \(CD8^+\) T cell tolerance to peripheral tissue restricted antigens and constrain the proliferation of newly activated T cells in these sites. Thus, stromal-hematopoietic interactions are crucial for the normal functioning of the immune system. LNSCs are extremely rare and difficult to isolate, hampering the thorough study of their biology. In order to better understand these stromal subsets, we sorted fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs), lymphatic endothelial cells, blood endothelial cells, and podoplanin \(^−CD31^−\) cells (double negative stromal cells; DNCs) to high purity from resting and inflamed murine lymph nodes. We meticulously analyzed the transcriptional profiles of these freshly isolated LNSCs as part of the Immunological Genome Project Consortium. Analysis of the transcriptional profiles of these LNSC subsets indicated that SCs express key immune mediators and growth factors, and provided important insights into the lymph node conduit network, FRC-specialization, and the DNC identity. Examination of hematopoietic and stromal transcription of ligands and cognate receptors suggested complex crosstalk among these populations. Interestingly, FRCs dominated cytokine and chemokine transcription among LNSCs, and were also enriched for higher expression of these genes when compared with skin and thymic fibroblasts, consistent with FRC-specialization. LNSCs that were isolated from inflamed lymph nodes robustly upregulated expression of genes encoding cytokines, chemokines, antigen-processing and presentation machinery, and acute-phase response molecules. Little-explored DNCs showed many transcriptional similarities to FRCs, but importantly did not transcribe interleukin-7. We identified DNCs as consisting largely of myofibroblastic pericytes that express integrin \(\alpha 7\). Together these data comprehensively describe the transcriptional characteristics of four major LNSC subsets isolated from resting and inflamed SLOs, offering many avenues for future study.

We are, therefore, arguing that the classroom, despite its limitations and contradictions, is a place of interaction, social identities constitution, collective reflection, teaching the human condition, knowledge production, citizenship exercise, and both freedom and indignation practice. In such space, where inclusion and discrimination practices paradoxically coexist, continuities as well as possibilities of resignification and change are configured. From these considerations and informed by an extensive legal, documental, theoretical and political apparatus, we developed, at the Instituto Federal de Goiás/Campus-Inhumas, a study group entitled Language and identity practices, with the purpose of reading and discussing different text genres, enabling dialogue, reflection and exchange of experiences about the linguistic practices and gender and race identities constitution. In the intersection of empirical material produced by the group and theoretical and documental references, we take into consideration the contextual, interactional and ideological malleability, which justified thinking the featured topics from the analytical categories of conformations, ambiguities and transgressions. Although the study group did not abandon rooted conceptions of text, class and identity, as well as explicit and implicit forms of prejudice, in the confluence of themes and categories, it revealed itself as a possibility for political action, collaborative reflection and human, educational and social transformation.<br>Esta pesquisa está orientada pela reflexão sobre os processos de constituição de identidades de gênero e raça, em sua intrínseca relação com as práticas linguísticas e educativas, os contextos sócio-históricos e as estruturas de poder, especialmente relacionados à aula de língua portuguesa. Estamos, com isso, defendendo que a sala de aula, a despeito de suas limitações e contradições, constitui um lugar de interação, de constituição das identidades sociais, de reflexão coletiva, de ensino da condição humana, de produção do conhecimento, de exercício da cidadania, e da prática da liberdade e da indignação. É nesse espaço, em que coexistem, paradoxalmente, práticas de inclusão e discriminação e que se configuram continuidades bem como possibilidades de ressignificações e mudanças. A partir dessas considerações, subsidiadas por um extenso aparato legal, documental, teórico e político, foi desenvolvido no âmbito do Instituto Federal de Goiás/Campus-Inhumas, um grupo de estudos, intitulado Língua(gem) e práticas identitárias, com a proposta de ler e problematizar gêneros textuais diversificados, possibilitando o diálogo, a reflexão e a troca de experiências acerca das práticas linguísticas e constituição das identidades de gênero e raça. No intercruzamento dos materiais empíricos produzidos em grupo e dos referenciais teórico-documentais, leva-se em consideração a maleabilidade contextual, interacional e ideológica, o que justificou pensar os temas em destaque a partir das categorias analíticas das conformações, ambiguidades e transgressões. Na confluência entre temas e categorias, o grupo de estudos, ainda que não tenha se desvinculado de concepções arraigadas sobre texto, aula e identidades e de formas explícitas e implícitas de preconceitos, constituiu-se como possibilidade de ação política, de reflexão colaborativa e de transformação humana, pedagógica e social.

In this thesis, we present new developments for the analytic calculation of tree- and multi-loop level amplitudes. Similarly, we study and extend their analytic properties. We propose a Four-dimensional formulation (FDF) equivalent to the four-dimensional helicity scheme (FDH). In our formulation, particles propagating inside the loop are represented by four dimensional massive internal states regulating the divergences. We provide explicit four-dimensional representations of the polarisation and helicity states of the particles propagating in the loop. Within FDF, we use integrand reduction and four dimensional unitarity to perform analytic computations of one-loop scattering amplitudes. The calculation of tree level scattering amplitude, in this framework, allows for a simultaneous computation of cut-constructible and rational parts of one-loop scattering amplitudes. We present a set of non-trivial examples, showing that FDF scheme is suitable for computing important $2\to2,3,4$ partonic amplitudes at one-loop level. We start by considering two gluons production by quark anti-quark annihilation. Then, the (up to four) gluon production, $gg\to ng$ with $n=2,3,4$. And finally, the Higgs and (up to three) gluons production via gluon fusion, $gg\to ng\,H$ with $n=1,2,3$, in the heavy top mass limit. We also investigate, by following a diagrammatic approach, the role of colour-kinematics (C/K) duality of off-shell diagrams in gauge theories coupled to matter. We study the behaviour of C/K-duality for theories in four- and in $d$-dimensions. The latter follows the prescriptions given by FDF. We show that the Jacobi relations for the kinematic numerators of off-shell diagrams, built with Feynman rules in axial gauge, reduce to a C/K-violating term due to the contributions of sub-graphs only. We discuss the role of the off-shell decomposition in the direct construction of higher-multiplicity numerators satisfying C/K-duality. We present the QCD process $gg\to q\bar{q}g$. An analogous study, within FDF, is carried out for $d$-dimensionally regulated amplitudes. The computation of dual numerators generates, as byproduct, relations between tree-level amplitudes with different orderings. These relations turn to be the Bern-Carrasco-Johansson (BCJ) identities for four- and $d$-dimensionally regulated amplitudes. We combine BCJ identities and integrand reduction methods to establish relations between one-loop integral coefficients for dimensionally regulated QCD amplitudes. We also elaborate on the radiative behaviour of tree-level scattering amplitudes in the soft regime. We show that the subleading soft term in single-gluon emission of quark-gluon amplitudes in QCD is controlled by differential operators, whose universal form can be derived from both Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten recursive relations and gauge invariance, as it was shown to hold for graviton and gluon scattering. In the last part of the thesis, we describe the main features of the multi-loop calculations. We briefly describe the adaptive integrand decomposition (AID), a variant of the standard integrand reduction algorithm. AID exploits the decomposition of the space-time dimension in parallel and orthogonal subspaces. We focus, in particular, on the calculation of $2\to2,3$ partonic amplitudes at two loop-level<br>In questa tesi discutiamo le proprietà di analiticità delle ampiezze di scattering e presentiamo nuovi metodi per il loro calcolo analitico, sia a tree-level e agli ordini perturbativi successivi. Proponiamo un nuovo schema di regolarizzazione dimensionale, la Four-dimensional formulation (FDF), che mostriamo equivalente al Four-dimensional helicity scheme (FDH). Nella nostra formulazione, consideriamo le particelle che si propagano all'interno dei loop in quattro dimensioni, fornendo una rappresentazione esplicitamente quadridimensionale dei loro stati di polarizzazione ed elicità. La massa di tali particelle virtuali agisce da regolatore delle divergenze. Lavorando in FDF, utilizziamo le tecniche di unitarietà e il metodo dell'integrand reduction per calcolare analiticamente ampiezze di scattering a un loop, mostrando che la conoscenza delle ampiezze a tree-level consente, in questo formalismo, di ottenere sia la cosiddetta parte cut-constructibile dell'ampiezza di loop sia i suoi termini razionali. Presentiamo una serie di esempi non banali e illustriamo come FDF consenta di calcolare ampiezze partoniche per processi $2\to 2,3,4$ di notevole rilevanza fenomenologica. In particolare, iniziamo considerando la produzione di due gluoni a partire da una coppia di quark-antiquark per poi analizzare ampiezze puramente gluoniche del tipo $gg\to ng$, con $n=2,3,4$. Infine, lavorando nel limite di massa infinita del quark top, presentiamo i risultati per la produzione via gluon-fusion di un bosone di Higgs in associazione con jet gluonici, $gg\to ngH$, $n=1,2,3$. Seguendo un approccio diagrammatico, investighiamo il ruolo della colour-kinematics duality (C/K) in teorie di gauge accoppiate alla materia, sia in quattro che in $d$ dimensioni, adottando, nel secondo caso, le prescrizioni di FDF. Mostriamo che le identità di Jacobi tra i numeratori cinematici dei diagrammi di Feynman off-shell (per i quali utilizziamo il gauge assiale) producono violazioni della C/K dualità riconducibili all'esclusivo contributo di sottodiagrammi. Discutiamo il ruolo di tale decomposizione off-shell nella costruzione diretta di numeratori esplicitamente duali. In particolare, analizziamo il processo $gg\to q\bar{q}g$ in quattro dimensioni per poi estendere tale studio, mediante l'utilizzo di FDF, al caso $d$-dimensionale. Nel seguito, studiamo il comportamento delle ampiezze a tree-level di QCD nel limite di emissione di radiazione soffice. Nel caso dell'emissione di un singolo gluone, mostriamo che il termine sottodominante nell'approssimazione soffice dell'ampiezza è descritto da operatori differenziali la cui espressione universale può essere derivata sia delle relazioni di ricorrenza di Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten sia dalle proprietà di invarianza di gauge dell'ampiezza. Tali proprietà si rivelano valide, oltre che per processi gluonici, per lo scattering tra gravitoni. Nell'ultima parte di questa tesi, discutiamo le caratteristiche principali del calcolo di ampiezze di scattering oltre un loop. Descriviamo brevemente il metodo dell'adaptive integrand decomposition (AID), una formulazione alternativa della tecnica di integrand decomposition tradizionale, che sfrutta la scomposizione dello spazio-tempo nei sottospazi parallelo ed ortogonale alla cinematica esterna. In particolare, ci concentriamo su calcolo di ampiezze partoniche $2\to2,3$ a due loop.

Isso, muitas vezes, afeta as culturas acadêmicas nacionais e regionais e torna a educação um bem de mercado. (ALTBACH, REISBERG, RUBLEY, 2009). Para fazer frente aos impactos da globalização, existem esforços e políticas de regionalização - tornar regional - e formar blocos econômicos, políticos e culturais para lidar com a globalização. (FAJARDO, 2007). Uma das estratégias de internacionalização/regionalização das universidades tem sido a mobilidade acadêmica. No entanto, os intercâmbios requerem gastos para o deslocamento e permanência na IES de destino, bem como burocracia com vistos, matrículas, dentre outras providências que se fazem necessárias. Uma das possíveis alternativas para minimizar essas questões é fazer uso das TICs, criando e desenvolvendo disciplinas em ambientes virtuais, por meio das quais se possa construir um diálogo interinstitucional. Com a aproximação de disciplinas afins, o trabalho se daria online, com planejamento conjunto. O propósito é reunir turmas de diferentes países em que os alunos podem se conhecer, compartilhar e construir colaborativamente novos saberes. Com essa finalidade, nesta pesquisa criamos um projeto de Regionalização em Casa entre o curso de Letras de uma instituição de ensino superior do Brasil, uma da Argentina e outra do Uruguai, a fim de analisar como professores de cursos de formação de professores de línguas adicionais planejam e interagem com vistas ao intercâmbio de aprendizagem entre seus estudantes em três tentativas: uma por um grupo fechado do Facebook e as duas últimas usando a plataforma Moodle. Esta pesquisa tem como referencial teórico, a Internacionalização de Olson e Shoenberg (2007), a regionalização de Fajardo (2007), Krawczyk (2008) e em casa de Gonçalves (2009), as sociedades conectadas de Crook (2008), Zammit (2010) e Pontes (2011), as identidades de Hall (2005) e de Gee (2000). As comunidades de prática de Wenger (2001), as comunidades de prática (des) corteses de Marlangeon (2004). A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa e etnográfica virtual, segundo Hine (2004), sendo de cunho colaborativo segundo Desgagné (2007) e ancorando-se no Estudo de Caso de Stake (1999) e de André (2005). Tem como instrumentos de geração de dados os e- mails trocados entre as professoras participantes, a pesquisadora e sua orientadora para o planejamento das disciplinas, os diários de campo da pesquisadora e das professoras, bem como entrevistas semiestruturadas, que foram realizadas ao final. A análise de dados baseia-se na Análise do Discurso Mediada pelo Computador de Herring (2004), e foi realizada pelas unidades temáticas evidenciadas nos e-mails e no que foi recorrente nas entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os e-mails foram agrupados por Unidades Temáticas em que foram destacados os atos de fala mais significativos que foram analisados discursivamente segundo Briz (2012). Os resultados mostram que houve participação e cooperação entre o grupo de professoras, porém nem todas se engajavam com a tecnologia da mesma forma. Além disso, as identidades institucionais professores investigadores versus professores executores foram muito fortes. (GEE, 2000). Faltou, também, a identificação por parte dos professores com o Projeto, principalmente entre os estrangeiros, pois o viam apenas como uma tese de doutorado. Nas interações, ficou evidente que as hierarquias acadêmicas funcionam de formas diferentes de país a país. Acrescenta-se a isso que um intercâmbio como pensamos requer um engajamento com as TICs no sentido de compreender a forma de trabalho da Web 2.0., para que se possa regionalizar sem sair de casa.<br>The internationalization is a matter that is on the agenda of the universities in globalization times, forcing them to suit to their teaching system to the international requirements and to the inter and multicultural dialogue. This, many times, affects the national andregional academic cultures and makes the education to have a market value. (ALTBACH, REISBERG, RUBLEY, 2009). Handling with the globalization impacts, there are çççefforts and regionalization policies – make it regional and to form economic, political and cultural blocks to deal with the globalization. (FAJARDO, 2007). One of the internationalization and regionalization strategies of the universities has been the academic mobility. However, the exchange programs require spending to the displacement in the HEI of destination, as well as the bureaucracy with visa, registration among others necessary actions that are necessary. One of the possible alternatives to minimize these issues is to make use of the ICTs, creating and developing subjects in virtual environment, through it can be built an interinstitutional dialogue. As the related disciplines approach, the task would be online with a joint planning. The purpose is to join groups of different countries in order of them to know each other, share and build new knowledge in a whole planning. For that purpose, in this search it was created a regionalization at home project between the Spanish major higher level educational institute in Brazil, one from Argentina and other from Uruguay, in order to analyse how professors of teachers training course of additional languages plan and interact with the goal of learning exchange among its students in three attempts: one by a closed group of Facebook and the two last using the Moodle plataform. This search has as theoretical reference the internationalization of Olson and Shoeonberg (2017), the regionalization of Fajardo (2007), Krawczyk (2008) and at home of Gonçalves (2009), the connected societies of Crook (2008), Zammit (2010) and Pontes (2011), the identities of Hall (2005) and the Gee (2000), the communities of practice of Wenger (2001), the (im)politiness communities of practice of Marlangeon (2004). The search is of qualitative nature and virtual ethnographic, according to Hine (2004), being of cooperative aspect according to Desgagné (2007) anchoring in the study of the case of Stake (1999) and André (2005). It has as data generation instruments the emails exchanged among the participant professors, the researcher and its guidance counselor the subjects planning, the researcher and teachers fields diaries, as well as semi structured interviews that were done in the end. The data analysis is based on the Computer-mediated discourse of Herring (2004) and it was done by the themed units showed in the emails and in what was recurrent in the semi structured interviews. The emails were put together by themed units in what were highlighted the speech acts more meaningful that were analysed according to Briz (2012). The results show that there was participation and cooperation among the professors group, however, not all of them got involved with the technology the same way. Besides, the institutional identities, researcher professors versus executors professors ones were very strong. There was also a lack of identification by part of them with the project, mainly among the foreigners because they saw it only as a doctoral thesis. During the interactions, it was clear that the academic hierarchies work in different forms from country to country. It is added to it that an exchange program as we thought requires an involvement with the ICTs in the sense of understanding the way of web’s work 2.0 to make it possible to regionalize without going home.<br>La internacionalización es un tema que está en pauta en las universidades en tiempos de globalización, obligándolas a ajustar sus sistemas de educacionales a las exigencias internacionales y al diálogo inter o multicultural.

This chapter presents the study of a homogeneous stochastic higher spin six-vertex model in a quadrant. For this model concise integral representations for multipoint q-moments of the height function and for the q-correlation functions are derived. At least in the case of the step initial condition, these formulas degenerate in appropriate limits to many known formulas of such type for integrable probabilistic systems in the (1+1)d KPZ universality class, including the stochastic six-vertex model, ASEP, various q-TASEPs, and associated zero-range processes. The arguments are largely based on properties of a family of symmetric rational functions that can be defined as partition functions of the higher spin six-vertex model for suitable domains; they generalize classical Hall–Littlewood and Schur polynomials. A key role is played by Cauchy-like summation identities for these functions, which are obtained as a direct corollary of the Yang–Baxter equation for the higher spin six-vertex model.

This chapter explains how people in Kyoto city and prefecture crafted appealing identities for their regional foods—now seen as an integral aspect of the Kyoto brand—and how it became Japan’ most attractive city brand. Using an ethnographic approach, the chapter identifies how stakeholders, from farmers to chefs, have strengthened the local agricultural economy through promoting the heritage, craftsmanship, and provenance of Kyoto food products, especially its famed “traditional vegetables.” The efforts of these Kyoto actors have capitalized on current awareness of artisanality, terroir, and small-batch production—all parts of first-world foodie consciousness—to invent and promote a “traditional” brand.

This chapter summarizes key themes and presents some final thoughts. It argues that by perpetuating the traditions of their ancestors, market women connect themselves to the prestige and power of the past, honoring the legacies of their ancestors who dominated the market in previous generations. The local category of the house provides them with a flexible model of kinship that ensures their ability to select viable heirs to continue their family's participation in the market and preserve their high-status identities over the years and generations to come. By doing so, and by becoming prominent figures through marketing, these women secure their own immortality as a part of the narrative that governs local history and memory. Through the recognition, power, and prestige they generate in the market, the women, like their market ancestors before them, will forever remain an integral and inextricable part of life in Chamelco.

This conclusion ponders the question of whether we are really what we drink by reviewing the insights gained from the analysis of the interwoven and constantly interacting identity discourses, among them ethnic identity, gender, class, civic and religious identity, within Minnesota's temperance movement and by reflecting on the repercussions of these insights on our understanding of identity. The temperance movement served as a catalyst of ethnic identity construction and negotiation for both German and Irish Americans. It caused German Americans to invent and Irish Americans to renegotiate their ethnic identities and to reposition themselves in the Anglo-American society. Intense intraethnic debates on the role of liquor and liquor consumption and the many exhortations and appeals of Irish American temperance reformers fractured long-held beliefs that excessive alcohol consumption was respectable and an integral constituent of Irishness. The campaigns for or against liquor also contributed to the construction of a female public identity and influenced the shape of civic identity in Minnesota.

Focusing on some of the best-known stage plays and dance performances of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this interdisciplinary study demonstrates that queer performance was integral to and productive of modernism, while also suggesting that queer modernist performance played a key role in the historical emergence of modern sexual identities and that it anticipated, and was in a sense foundational to, the insights of contemporary queer modernist studies. Chapters on Arthur Wing Pinero’s The Second Mrs. Tanqueray, Loie Fuller’s Fire Dance, Vaslav Nijinsky’s Afternoon of a Faun, Noël Coward’s Private Lives, and Djuna Barnes’s metatheatrical parodies To the Dogs and The Dove explore manifestations, facets, and dimensions of and suggest ways of reading—and of viewing earlier “readers” reading—queer modernist performance. Together, these case studies clarify aspects of both the queer and the modernist and how their coproductive intersection was articulated in and through performance. The book contributes to an expanded understanding of modernism across a range of performance genres, the central role of performance within modernism more generally, and the integral relationship between performance history and the history of sexuality. In doing so, it adds to the ongoing transformation of the field of modernist studies, in which drama and performance remain underrepresented. It also contributes to revisionist historiographies that approach modernist performance through feminist and queer critical perspectives and interdisciplinary frameworks and that consider how formally innovative and more conventional works collectively engaged with modernity, at once reflecting and contributing to historical change in the domains of gender and sexuality.

This chapter shows that multiple sensory information sources can generally be integrated in a similar fashion. However, seeing that different modalities are grounded in different frames of reference, integrations will focus on space or on identities. Body-relative spaces integrate information about the body and the surrounding space in body-relative frames of reference, integrating the available information across modalities in an approximately optimal manner. Simple topological neural population encodings are well-suited to generate estimates about stimulus locations and to map several frames of reference onto each other. Self-organizing neural networks are introduced as the basic computation mechanism that enables the learning of such mappings. Multisensory object recognition, on the other hand, is realized most effectively in an object-specific frame of reference – essentially abstracting away from body-relative frames of reference. Cognitive maps, that is, maps of the environment are learned by connecting locations over space and time. The hippocampus strongly supports the learning of cognitive maps, as it supports the generation of new episodic memories, suggesting a strong relation between these two computational tasks. In conclusion, multisensory integration yields internal predictive structures about spaces and object identities, which are well-suited to plan, decide on, and control environmental interactions.

Despite abundant historical interest in Apache subjugation and early reservation periods, Apache persists as a lacuna in Southwest archaeology. Vexing conceptual and practical challenges to site identification and analyses, coupled with a lack of research specifically focused on Apache histories, regions, and material cultures, have retarded the creation of archaeological knowledge comparable or even complementary to the richness and diversity of Apache oral traditions and ethnographies. These challenges are being confronted as archaeologists integrate ethnographic data and collaborations with Apache culture bearers and community leaders to address Apache chronologies, identities and ethnogeneses, landscapes, and heritages. This chapter selectively reviews Southern Athapaskan culture history and previous research, then provides a data-based discussion of pre-reservation Western Apache archaeology. The conclusion recommends problem-focused and collaborative studies of interest to both Apache and academic scholars.

This chapter focuses on the transformation of the relationship between the Lithuanian national intelligentsia and population as a result of the Great War and the Russian February revolution. For the elite the war became a mobilizing moment that shattered their narrowly based party politics and unleashed a wave of mass activism. The war and revolution created a space for the emergence of new political visions and identities. The chapter discusses population mobilization as a result of two major developments brought about by war: civilians’ experience of occupation in the Ober Ost and population displacement in Russia proper. The first was shaped by the shifting German war aims and their efforts to integrate the Baltic region as a political entity dominated by Germany. The second brought nationally minded refugee relief politics that precipitated mass mobilization during the early post-war years.

The Introduction outlines the historiographical context for this study and introduces the Howards. It argues that we need to appreciate the importance of the Howard women, but that we can only fully understand this by placing them in their many contexts: at court as well as at home, as sisters and cousins as well as wives and mothers; and by appreciating the interaction and intersection of their full kaleidoscope of identities, as Howards, as evangelical, conservative, or otherwise in religion, as subjects of the crown, as both patronesses and petitioners. None of these categories is sufficient explanation of their role taken in isolation, and all need to be seen side by side. This highlights the ongoing need to integrate women into sixteenth-century political historiography, and also a need to nuance our understanding of the triangular relationship between elite women, the aristocratic dynasty, and the early modern state.

Abstract This paper concerns with the coupled linear theory of thermoelasticity for porous materials and the coupled phenomena of the concepts of Darcy’s law and the volume fraction is considered. The system of governing equations based on the equations of motion, the constitutive equations, the equation of fluid mass conservation, Darcy’s law for porous materials, Fourier’s law of heat conduction and the heat transfer equation. The system of general governing equations is expressed in terms of the displacement vector field, the change of volume fraction of pores, the change of fluid pressure in pore network and the variation of temperature of porous material. The fundamental solution of the system of steady vibration equations is constructed explicitly by means of elementary functions and its basic properties are presented. The basic internal and external boundary value problems (BVPs) of steady vibrations are formulated and on the basis of Green’s identities the uniqueness theorems for the regular (classical) solutions of the BVPs are proved. The surface (single-layer and double-layer) and volume potentials are constructed and their basic properties are established. Finally, the existence theorems for classical solutions of the BVPs of steady vibrations are proved by means of the boundary integral equations method (potential method) and the theory of singular integral equations.

Experiments are presented for recovering the histograms of particle size from the optical transform intensity of spherical particles. We describe a novel inversion formula, and we provide computational details for obtaining particulate sizes from the transform intensity. The intensity is given by an integral over the size distribution multiplied by an Airy function (transform intensity for a single particle). The inversion formula is derived from the intensity using Bessel-delta identities and Abel transforms. By multiplying the intensity by an appropriate kernel and integrating over the diffraction angle, recovery of the particle size distribution is obtained. In the experiments, we use chrome masks with large numbers of tiny circular apertures of disks. These have been generated with three separate distributions: the gamma, the log-normal, and the bimodal exponential.

This paper concerns with the quasi static linear theory of thermoelasticity for triple porosity materials. The system of governing equations based on the equilibrium equations, conservation of fluid mass, the constitutive equations, Darcy’s law for materials with triple porosity and Fourier’s law of heat conduction. The cross-coupled terms are included in the equations of conservation of mass for the fluids of the three levels of porosity (macro-, meso- and micropores) and in the Darcy’s law for materials with triple porosity. The system of general governing equations is expressed in terms of the displacement vector field, the pressures in the three pore systems and the temperature. The basic internal and external boundary value problems (BVPs) are formulated and on the basis of Green’s identities the uniqueness theorems for the regular (classical) solutions of the BVPs are proved. The surface (single-layer and double-layer) and volume potentials are constructed and their basic properties are established. Finally, the existence theorems for classical solutions of the BVPs are proved by means of the potential method and the theory of singular integral equations.

The coronavirus pandemic has created new challenges for rural areas already affected by chronic economic, social, and environmental problems such as depopulation, reduced service provision, ageing, the decline of agriculture income, inhibited accessibility. These problems are of great importance in Central Sicily. Here, the absence of adequate infrastructure, the limited presence of organizations for the promotion and marketing of agricultural products, and climate change have strongly affected the rural landscape. Numerous small towns, farms and extraordinary underground structures are on the verge of extinction, threatened by the ravages of time, forgetfulness, and vandalism. Although often unknown, these eloquent examples of the vernacular heritage of the interior of the island are no longer an integral part of the life of the region. However, if properly identified, studied, protected, re-used, and reconnected to the territory, they could help to reinforce the local cultural identities, and bring positive changes in the socio-economic conditions of the concerned peoples. This paper aims at exploring all these aspects, focusing on the territory of Enna. It also intends to present a pilot project aimed at identifying the most important elements of local rural architecture to promote sustainable methods of preservation and restoration.

Following a rapid transition to markets, democracy and private enterprise, Serbia’s capital Belgrade is emerging as a ‘global city’, but this ambition is coming at a cost to the environment and a loss of sense of place for its people. Diverse identities and changing values over time are being challenged as the city transitions out of a complex socialist past into a pervasively global economy, which by definition challenges locally embedded hybridity of place and puts strain on sustainable growth. Open spaces are required for city residents to live, work, and move efficiently, making the use, access, and ecological integrity of open spaces a city-wide priority. The dependence and attachment of city residents to these spaces provides an ideal baseline for analysis of different open space typologies integral to the urban fabric defining a wide range of urban resiliency strategies. This people-centered approach, coupled with an understanding of the contemporary and historical significance of open spaces, raises the question of how to improve and connect such forms to the urban fabric while respecting place identity in response to post-socialist spatial change. Our case studies inspect the socialist landscapes of public open spaces in New Belgrade as they have transformed in a contemporary context. Other case studies demonstrate the systematic loss of open space taken over by private informal housing on one hand, but also as people-driven initiatives reclaiming the urban landscape on the other. Using fresh empirical evidence and case study analysis at the neighborhood scale, this research employs an open space typology of resiliency in place for a connected urban mosaic of post-socialist Belgrade. The analytical framework draws on existing urban research in the context of post-socialist transition and advances a design matrix to analyze open space forms for connectivity in relation to place and sustainability.

We study the problem of Network Embedding (NE) for content-rich networks. NE models aim to learn efficient low-dimensional dense vectors for network vertices which are crucial to many network analysis tasks. The core problem of content-rich network embedding is to learn and integrate the semantic information conveyed by network structure and node content. In this paper, we propose a general end-to-end model, Dual GEnerative Network Embedding (DGENE), to leverage the complementary information of network structure and content. In this model, each vertex is regarded as an object with two modalities: node identity and textual content. Then we formulate two dual generation tasks. One is Node Identification (NI) which recognizes nodes’ identities given their contents. Inversely, the other one is Content Generation (CG) which generates textual contents given the nodes’ identities. We develop specific Content2Node and Node2Content models for the two tasks. Under the DGENE framework, the two dual models are learned by sharing and integrating intermediate layers, with which they mutually enhance each other. Extensive experimental results show that our model yields a significant performance gain compared to the state-of-the-art NE methods. Moreover, our model has an interesting and useful byproduct, that is, a component of our model can generate texts, which is potentially useful for many tasks.

Even if the urban experience of the British New Towns, created after the New Towns Act of 1945 as a solution to the problems derived from the superpopulation of great cities such as London, is already far in time it can still offer us some lessons. Lessons which could help us when intervening in current process of development and transformation of the urban form. This article analyses these experiences from its morphology, studying their formal characteristics and the organization of the several uses of the city, as well as the diachronic evolution of their criteria of spatial composition. The First New Towns mainly followed the characteristics stated in the Reith Report [HMSO, 1946 a] and the consequent New Towns Act [HMSO, 1946 b], which defined the scale of the new cities, their uses and zoning, location, areas, distances, social structure or landscape among other. Their urban forms evolved with time and were the result of many strategic and design decisions taken which determined and transformed their spatial and physical profiles. According to the Town and Country Planning Association [TCPA, 2014] New Towns can be classified in three Marks as for their chronology and the laws that helped to create them. But if we focus in their urban form, we can find another classification by Ali Madani-Pour, [1993] who divides them into four design phases, which give answer to different social needs and mobility. The analysis of the essential characteristics and strategies of each of the phases of the New Towns, applied to the configuration of the urban form of some of the New Towns, the ones which gather better the approach in each of the phases, will allow us to make a propositional diagnose of their different forms of development, the advances and setbacks; a comparative analysis of different aspects such as mobility and zoning, local and territorial relations, structure or composition. The conclusions of the article pretend to recognize the contributions, which come from their urban form and have them as a reference for new urban interventions in the current context, with new challenges to be faced from the integral definition of the city.

It is estimated that as many as 1.5 billion people globally do not possess any form of identification [1]. Most of these people currently live in Africa and Asia. The lack of identification prevents them from accessing the basic rights and services afforded to them. In healthcare, proof of identity is required to access basic health services, and accurately monitor one’s diagnosis and treatment. This enables health care facilities to provide quality services. Without any identification, governments and development organisations cannot cater to the basic needs of these individuals. This is a key factor in the increased adoption of digital information systems in healthcare. These systems assist with validating patients’ identities. Additionally, these systems store information about patients’ medical history to allow for more effective treatment practices [2]. Digital information systems have proven to be more reliable than paper-based systems currently used in many health facilities in developing countries. Health service providers are now seeking ways to integrate these systems into their daily operations. Electronic health record systems could potentially solve many problems these facilities face. This includes issues related to data management and patient identification. These systems, when paired with biometric technologies, can remove the need for patients to carry physical identification to gain access to medical services. This would be a great benefit to rural communities. It could also assist with reducing the prevalence of fraud in these communities. Cases where individuals make use of stolen identification cards and multiple identities to access health benefits are known to occur in these areas. Existing biometric identification solutions are not designed specifically for the rural environment. Therefore, an open source biometric patient identification system was developed. The system was developed specifically for a hospital located in a rural setting. The aim was to leverage off existing technologies, and adapt it accordingly to suit the conditions faced by health service providers in these areas.

The article clarifies of gender identity stereotypes in modern media. The main gender stereotypes covered in modern mass media are analyzed and refuted. The model of gender relations in the media is reflected mainly in the stereotypical images of men and woman. The features of the use of gender concepts in modern periodicals for women and men were determined. The most frequently used derivatives of these macroconcepts were identified and analyzed in detail. It has been found that publications for women and men are full of various gender concepts that are used in different contexts. Ingeneral, theanalysisofthe concept-maximums and concept-minimum gender and their characteristics is carried out in the context of gender stereotypes that have been forme dand function in the society, system atizing the a ctual presentations. The study of the gender concept is relevant because it reveals new trends and features of modern gender images. Taking into account the special features of gender-labeled periodicals in general and the practical absence of comprehensive scientific studies of the gender concept in particular, there is a need to supplement Ukrainian science with this topic. Gender psychology, which is served by methods of various sciences, primarily sociological, pedagogical, linguistic, psychological, socio-psychological. Let us pay attention to linguistic and psycholinguistic methods in gender studies. Linguistic methods complement intelligence research tasks, associated with speech, word and text. Psycholinguistic methods used in gender psychology (semantic differential, semantic integral, semantic analysis of words and texts), aimed at studying speech messages, specific mechanisms of origin and perception, functions of speech activity in society, studying the relationship between speech messages and gender properties participants in the communication, to analyze the linguistic development in connection with the general development of the individual. Nowhere in gender practice there is the whole arsenal of psychological methods that allow you to explore psychological peculiarities of a person like observation, experiments, questionnaires, interviews, testing, modeling, etc. The methods of psychological self-diagnostics include: the gender aspect of the own socio-psychological portrait, a gender biography as a variant of the biographical method, aimed at the reconstruction of individual social experience. In the process of writing a gender autobiography, a person can understand the characteristics of his gender identity, as well as ways and means of their formation. Socio-psychological methods of studying gender include the study of socially constructed women’s and men’s roles, relationships and identities, sexual characteristics, psychological characteristics, etc. The use of gender indicators and gender approaches as a means of socio-psychological and sociological analysis broadens the subject boundaries of these disciplines and makes them the subject of study within these disciplines. And also, in the article a combination of concrete-historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is implemented. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. Also used is a method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-stamped journals. It was he who allowed quantitatively to identify and explore the features of the gender concept in the pages of periodicals for women and men. A combination of historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is also implemented in the article. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. A method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-labeled journals is also used. It allowed to identify and explore the features of the gender concept quantitatively in the periodicals for women and men. The conceptual perception and interpretation of the gender concept «woman», which is highlighted in the modern gender-labeled press in Ukraine, requires the elaboration of the polyfunctionality of gender interpretations, the comprehension of the metaphorical perception of this image and its role and purpose in society. A gendered approach to researching the gender content of contemporary periodicals for women and men. Conceptual analysis of contemporary gender-stamped publications within the gender conceptual sphere allows to identify and correlate the meta-gender and gender concepts that appear in society.
