East African Scholars Journal of Education, Humanities and Literature 6, no. 02 (February 23, 2023): 70–86. http://dx.doi.org/10.36349/easjehl.2023.v06i02.007.
Full textAbstract:
Moral is an individual act that relates to oneself and other people, morality will be always attached to the characters in a novel. Moral is an act that forms the background of the story and characters, linking together the truth of the two elements of individual morality and the social role of the state of society. That morality is the character’s reflection in facing situations and conflicts within him and society. This research aims to identify the moral principles contained in Pramoedya Ananta Toer's novel Arus Balik. The novel is a historical fiction with the theme of the transition of power in Majapahit before the arrival of the colonialists in Indonesia. This study aims to identify the moral principles of the characters in facing a change. This novel was chosen because it tells the story of the changes in social life that exist in the background of Indonesian society due to globalization and colonialism. Arus Balik is always passively studied and to highlight this, moral studies were conducted. The findings explain that in the moral principles used by the character started from the general then during its development was met with another character and the situation eventually developed into a particular morality. The moral principles highlighted are the idea of agent relativity and epistemic filter, that is, moral action on the basis of the public interest, through the motivation of independence for the independence of the homeland, and the individual moral principle of the act of love for the loved ones.

Although animated characters are based on human features, these features are exaggerated. These exaggerations greatly differ by country, gender, and the character’s role in the story. This study investigated the characteristics of US and Japanese character designs and the similarities and differences or even the differences in exaggerations between them. In particular, these similarities and differences can be used to formulate a shared set of principles for US and Japanese animated character designs; 90 Japanese and 90 US cartoon characters were analyzed. Lengths for 20 parts of the body were obtained for prototypical real human bodies and animated characters from Japan and the United States. The distributions of lengths were determined, for all characters and for characters as segmented by country, gender, and the character’s role in the story. We also compared the body part lengths of animated characters and prototypical real human bodies, noting whether exaggerations were towards augmentation or diminishment. In addition, a decision tree classification method was used to determine the required body length parameters for identifying the classification conditions of animated characters by country, gender, and character’s role in the story. The results indicated that both US and Japanese male animated characters tend to feature exaggerations in head and body sizes, with exaggerations for US characters being more obvious. The decision tree only required five length parameters of the head and chest to distinguish between US and Japanese animated characters (accuracy = 94.48% and 67.46% for the training and testing groups, respectively). Through a decision tree method, this study quantitatively revealed the exaggeration patterns in animated characters and their differences by country, gender, and character’s role in the story. The results serve as a reference for designers and researchers of animated character model designs with regards to quantifying and classifying character exaggerations.

Prolegomena to a poetics of the character’s name. We propose in this article a poetics of the character’s name. The character’s name can be studied from an autonomous point of view as well as from a structural point of view. From an autonomous point of view, at first, we show that the character’s name especially reflects a personal, a social, a physical, a generic, a geographical, an autobiographical or a referential characteristic of the character. We also focus on two particular cases, the case in which the name of the character is incomplete and the case in which the identity of the character is changing. The structural point of view, on the contrary, consists in studying the names of the characters of a same work by comparing them to each other. We focus in this way on the thematic role of the characters’ names, and on the case in which some phonetic features are recurrent in the names of several characters and must therefore be interpreted. We eventually mention the problem of the translation of the characters’ names, focusing on two situations: the situation in which the character’s name has no obvious meaning, and is not really translated, and the situation in which the character’s name has a real meaning, and is either translated literally or adapted.

Many forms of interactive digital entertainment involve interacting with virtual dramatic characters. Our long term goal is to procedurally generate character dialogue behavior that automatically mimics, or blends, the style of existing characters. In this paper, we show how linguistic elements in character dialogue can define the style of characters in our RPG SpyFeet. We utilize a corpus of 862 film scripts from the IMSDb website, representing 7,400 characters, 664,000 lines of dialogue and 9,599,000 word tokens. We utilize counts of linguistic reflexes that have been used previously for personality or author recognition to discriminate different character types. With classification experiments, we show that different types of characters can be distinguished at accuracies up to 83% over a baseline of 20%. We discuss the characteristics of the learned models and show how they can be used to mimic particular film characters.

This article reviews spatial organization in the novel A Distant Journey by B.K. Zaytsev. An important part of spatial organization is the category of the Other, which appears to be constitutionally significant. Position of the Other space or hero helps to highlight subjects substituting and interchanging, and the same is characteristic for locus. Both a character and a place can represent an example of The Other. Coming-of-age of a character comes from interacting with The Other, something different from the character’s Self. The comparison of the Self with The Other acts as a trigger for subject’s transformation. A particular location happens to be connected with a particular narrative subject. Analysis of spatial structure of the novel allows to discover the patterns of subjective text organization transformation and to define important connections of particular places and characters/

Full textAbstract:
The article considers the change of points of view of the narrator and characters in the novel Jacob’s Ladder by L. Ulitskaya, which is characterized by polyphony and the combination of different narrative situations. By analyzing the composition and specific paragraphs of the novel, the main text forms that reflect the characters’ points of view are summarized: characters’ old letters and diaries, their dialogues, internal monologues, as well as the narrative texts in which the narrator seems to be standing behind the character, portraying the picture presented in the eyes of a specific character. The narrative features of these forms of rendering characters’ points of view and their role in creating the image of a character and in revealing their inner state are considered separately. The memoir-epistolary texts, as an important component of the novel, also play a plot-compositional function, forming an important storyline of the older generation of Osetsky family, and is the main way for the heroine Nora to know her grandfather Jacob. The inner speech of the characters is reflected in direct, indirect and free indirect speeches. Sometimes it is embedded in the dialogue between the characters as a “voice-over”, revealing the mental state of one of the interlocutors. The specific passages, in which the character’s speech blends with the author's text, are analyzed, and the closeness of the author-narrator to Nora is observed. It is revealed that the novel Jacob’s Ladder is characterized by a constant change of points of view, realized by the author’s compositional design and the active interaction of various narrative forms, which is also a particular feature of this writer’s creative manner in creating this novel.

Full textAbstract:
This paper considers the problem for reconstructing handwriting character fonts based on the so-called dynamic font method. In particular, supposing that the authors are given such character fonts with incorrect stroke order, the authors develop a scheme for correctly modifying the stroke order of characters. Such a scheme is developed by utilizing the so-called starting point fixation method and the dynamic font method. Then it is shown using a theory of smoothing splines that the authors can reconstruct the character fonts to natural cursive characters even when the stroke order of characters is incorrect. The usefulness and effectiveness are examined by experimental studies.

AbstractThere is a deeper structure to the ordinary character theory of finite solvable groups than might at first be apparent. Mauch of this structure, which has no analog for general finite gruops, becomes visible onyl when the character of solvable groups are viewes from the persepective of a particular set π of prime numbers. This purely expository paper discusses the foundations of this πtheory and a few of its applications. Included are the definitions and essential properties of Gajendragadkar's π-special characters and their connections with the irreducible πpartial characters and their associated Fong characters. Included among the consequences of the theory discussed here are applications to questions about the field generated by the values of a character, about extensions of characters of subgroups and about M-groups.

A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2009.Shakespeare portrayed women in his plays as people who should be valued. This is an opinion I held in the past, and one I still hold after intense reading of his works and that of authors such as Marlowe, Webster, Thomas Kyd and others. Shakespeare created his female characters out of a mixture of good and evil. When they interact with others, either the best or the worst in them is brought out: extreme evil in some cases and perfect goodness in others. I hope the reader will enjoy this study as much as I did, and that it will enhance their reading of Shakespeare‟s works and cultivate their interest in him. This study is intended to motivate other people to change their view that Shakespeare‟s works are inaccessible. Those who hold this view will come to know that anyone anywhere can read, understand and appreciate the works of this the greatest writer of all times. In his study Shakespeare’s World, Johanyak says, “I wrote [it] to help students appreciate the depth and breadth of Shakespeare‟s global awareness. Shakespeare was not only a London playwright, but a man of the world who dramatized his perceptions to create a lasting legacy of his times” (2004: ix).

Full textAbstract:
After providing an overview of the context of the study, initially arguments are presented as to why adopting a character based, as opposed to rules or consequences based moral theory is preferential for investigations into the Internet. The ensuing empirical research involves an in-depth and systematic survey undertaken in two sequential phases; phase one comprised a questionnaire chiefly aimed at providing a statistical exploration of the key issues identified in the literature review and phase two involved semi-structured group interviews which were designed to provide additional qualitative data on one particular moral issue - cyber-bullying. This evidence shows that the Internet presents both risks and opportunities for the development of character virtues; in particular, the moral virtues of honesty and compassion. The research demonstrates that it is the character virtues of Internet users, as well as the features of the technology itself, that ultimately determines online behaviour. These findings have implications for those tasked with developing strategies for dealing with online moral issues, and attest to an urgent need for the development of new interventions that will help educate the next generation as virtuous digital citizens.

Dans le cadre de cette thèse, la conception, la construction et la mise en service de la plateforme de test LEETECH ont été réalisées. La performance de LEETECH, y compris le mode de fonctionnement à faible multiplicité a été démontrée. En fournissant des paquets d’électrons avec une énergie ajustable jusqu’à 3.5 MeV, une multiplicité ajustable à partir d’électrons simples et une durée des paquets jusqu’à 20ps, LEETECH prend sa place entre les faisceaux tests de hautes énergies et de coûts élevés d’un part et l’utilisation de sources radioactifs d’autre part. Dans la région, qui correspond à la particule d’ionisation minimale, la plateforme offre aux détecteurs de traces les conditions similaires aux celles de faisceaux des hautes énergies. Le mode de fonctionnement à faible multiplicité a été étudié en utilisant un détecteur diamant de grande surface. En plus une capacité d’un capteur diamant de résoudre des paquets à faible nombre des particules a été démontrée. Dans le cadre du développement de la chambre à projection temporelle (TPC) pour le projet ILC, une session de test a été dédiée à un détecteur Micromegas/InGrid de large surface. Pour la première fois les pertes d’énergie par un électron dans un mélange de gaz basée sur Helium ont été mesurées pour une énergie de quelques MeV. La résolution en dE/dx et un algorithme pour la reconstruction de traces ont été développés. Une caractérisation préliminaire du quartz barre lu par MCPPMT – un candidat pour le détecteur temps-de- vol (TOF) avec la mission de l’identification des hadrons chargés dans le futur usine tau-charm HIEPA – a été accomplie. La résolution temporelle de 50 ps obtenue pour le détecteur étudié met cette technologie prometteuse pour les études plus approfondiesWithin the present thesis the design, construction and commissioning of a new test beam facility LEETECH have been performed. Performance of the new facility, including low-multiplicity operation mode has been demonstrated. A number of interesting detector tests, including large-area diamond, Micromegas/InGrid and quartz bar detectors have been performed. Development of new detector technologies for future high-energy physics collider experiments calls for selection of versatile test beam facilities, permitting to choose or adjust beam parameters such as particles type, energy and beam intensity, are irreplaceable in characterization and tests of developed instruments. Major applications comprise generic detector R&D, conceptual design and choice of detector technologies, technical design, prototypes and full-scale detector construction and tests, detector calibration and commissioning. A new test beam facility LEETECH (Low Energy Electron TECHnique) was designed, constructed and commissioned in LAL (Orsay) as an extension of existing PHIL accelerator. Providing electron bunches of adjustable energy (up to 3.5 MeV), intensity (starting from a few particles per bunch) and bunch time duration (down to 20 ps), LEETECH fills the gap between high-cost high-energy test beam facilities and use of radioactive sources. Covering a minimum-ionization particles region (electrons of energy above 1.6 MeV), LEETECH provides for tracking detectors similar conditions as high-energy facilities. Using LEETECH as an electron source, several types of detectors were investigated in order to study their performance or applications, also providing a characterization of the LEETECH performance. First studies of the LEETECH facility were performed with a plastic scintillator coupled to the Micro-channel plate photomultiplier. A low-multiplicity mode was investigated using the diamond sensor, at the same time demonstrating its ability to resolve bunches consisting of a few particles. In framework of Time Projection Chamber development for the ILC project, a session dedicated to a large-area Micromegas/InGrid module was performed. For the first time the electron energy losses in Helium-based gas mixtures were measured for the energies of few MeV. The dE/dx resolution was obtained and track reconstruction algorithm was developed. Being a candidate for the time-of- flight detector of the BESIII upgrade and future HIEPA tau-charm factories, a preliminary characterization of the quartz bar performed. The time resolution of the detector module of 50 ps was obtained, giving a promising results for the further detector studies

Full textAbstract:
Captorhinids are an extinct group of Palaeozoic eureptiles, being model representatives of basal Reptilia. These non-synapsid amniotes represent the first major radiation of terrestrial vertebrates. They have a conservative skull anatomy with the presence of conspicuous skull sculpturing.
Morphological skull features are extensively used in phylogenetic analysis, particularly external cranial bone surface texture (skull sculpturing). However, in captorhinids there is no consensus on the definition and classification of this trait, and different authors use different words to describe similar character states. In addition, current technology provides new information from previously undescribed structures in bone texture that require proper nomenclature definition in order to be used in phylogenetic analyses.
Here we present a deep redescription of all captorhinid phylogenetic characters used in recent literature. All characters and character states and figured in a visual portfolio to be used as a guide in future studies. We also propose a redefinition of skull sculpturing terminology, standardize correspondent character states, and define multiple new characters.
This new data allowed to generate new phylogenetic analyses that include 23 of the captorhinomorphs species currently described. We also compare our findings with the most recent available phylogenetic data.
We used image analysis software (Krita and FIJI) to isolate bone texture networks and individual polygons. The resulting data was analyzed on RStudio, where we performed statistical tests to find differences in skull sculpturing patterns.
The methodology here developed can be easily applied for any other research on extant or extinct animals that also present sculpturing in their skull, bringing new light into the evolutionary history of this extremely curious evolutionary novelty.Os captorrinídeos são um grupo já extinto de répteis Paleozóicos, sendo modelos representativos dos Reptilia mais basais. Estes amniotas não-sinapsídios representam a primeira grande radiação filogenética de vertebrados terrestres. A sua anatomia craniana é conservada e os ossos do crânio têm a particularidade de serem esculpidos. Em análises filogenéticas é comum usar-se características morfológicas dos crânios, nomeadamente a textura da superfície externa dos ossos do crânio (escultura craniana). No entanto e no caso dos captorrinídeos, não existe um consenso relativo à definição e classificação desta característica, e autores diferentes referem-se ao mesmo estado de caracter com expressões distintas. Adicionalmente, a tecnologia actual permite a identificação de estruturas previamente não descritas na escultura dos ossos, requerendo nomenclatura nova e standardizada, de modo a que possam ser usadas como caracteres filogenéticos. Neste trabalho é apresentada uma redescrição detalhada dos caracteres mais usados na literatura mais recente em reconstruções filogenéticas de captorrinídeos. É também proposta uma redefinição da terminologia relativa à escultura dos ossos cranianos, os estados de caracter correspondentes são ainda revistos e redefinidos. São também definidos e propostos novos caracteres morfológicos. Foi ainda elaborado um portfolio com ilustrações e esquemas que permitem apresentar visualmente todos os caracteres aqui utilizados nas diversas espécies de captorrinídeos. Estes novos dados permitiram gerar novas análises filogenéticas que incluem captorhinomorfos de 23 espécies actualmente descritas. Compara-se também os resultados obtidos com os dados filogenéticos mais recentes existentes na literatura. Foi usado software de análise e manipulação de imagem (Krita e FIJI) para isolar redes de polígonos que representem a escultura craniana. Os dados resultantes foram analisados no software RStudio, onde se procedeu a uma análise estatística de modo a detectar diferenças nos padrões da escultura craniana. Adicionalmente, a metodologia aqui desenvolvida pode ser facilmente aplicada a qualquer outro tipo de investigação em animais actuais ou extintos que também apresentem ossos craniais esculpidos, revelando novos dados sobre as implicações evolutivas e paleoecológicas desta curiosa e fascinante característica.

In the Japanese creation, it is possible to use different words and terms to render characters’ features. This phenomenon can be explained by the concept called “Role Language (yakuwarigo)”, which was advocated by Osaka University Professor Satoshi Kinsui. So far most of the studies on Role Language were to study some expressions having a strong characteristic, such as the studies on elderlies’, socialites’, militaries’, infants’, tsundere characters’, foreign characters’ Role Language. As far as the researchers can see, comprehensive studies collecting some vague Role Language are still rare. The purpose of this study is to clarify the still-vague Role Language. In the respect of subjects, this paper focused on personal pronouns. In the respect of predicates, this paper focused on sentence ending particles, request expressions and imperative expressions. This paper attempts to discover the relationship between various words or terms and the characters’ feature.. In this research, scope of the investigation is limited to otome games, story-based video games that is targeted towards a female market. The focus of the investigation is on the expressions of male characters in a series of the otome games, “Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side”. Based on the features of expressions observed in the scope, this paper analyzed what kind of character has the image related to those expressions, and then studied male characters’ Role Language comprehensively. In the study on first person pronouns, “boku” and “ore”, the images of male characters can be divided into two major tendencies, including the more feminine and more mild one (called “Soft” in this study), and the more rough and more manly one (called “Hard” in this study). “Boku” has a “Soft” image, whereas “ore” has a “Hard” image. The image of “watashi” is relatively close to “Soft”, but more importantly, “watashi” has its own images of “adults, teachers, leaders”. In the study on second person pronouns, “omae” has a “Hard” image, especially with a strong image of sports and physicality. “kimi” has a “Soft” image, especially with a strong image of artists and intelligence. “anata” has the more “Soft”image, and an comparatively introverted image. In the study on sentence ending particles, the image varies with the frequency of different sentence ending particles. It can be divided into the “NA Type”, which the frequency of using “NA” is higher than “NE”, and the “NE Type”,which the frequency of using “NE” is higher than “NA”. Most of the characters having a “Hard” image is “NA Type”, and most of the characters having a “Soft” image is “NE Type”. When analyzing the Role Language of request expressions and imperative expressions, the character who has a specially high usage rate of the imperative form of general verbs, has “Hard” image; the character who has a higher usage rate of “TE KUDASAI” or “TE” in short, has “Soft” image. There are other words and expressions linked to various images. Broadly speaking, if which image (“Hard” or “Soft”) a male character has is known, some expressions can be associated with the character. After using another otome game to verify the results of this paper, it is observable that when the characters have the same features, they will possibly use the same expressions and speaking style regardless of different creations and writers.That is Role Language. When we want to translate a dialogue into Japanese, or when we want to add some features to a character’s speaking, this kind of data about Role Language is very useful in writing character’s Japanese dialogue. The knowledge of Role Language also plays an important role in choosing the speaking style we want to use to show a personality image to others.

In Chapters 2–8 the author considered a particular character, c1, and argued that there is a certain way of looking such that to have a visual experience with character c1 is to have a visual experience that is occurring in that way. In Chapter 9 he goes on to consider a variety of other characters, and argues that in each case the same thing is true: there is a certain way of looking such that to have a visual experience with that character is to have a visual experience that is occurring in that way. It is argued that the same thing is true of any character.

Full textAbstract:
Plants-Nations have very different characters in different countries or in different ages in the same country; like wines, in every terroir they have a particular taste and always preserve it, though some years are better than others. Everything depends upon the air and its qualities. It is a home air, but it is not always the same. National characters are the product of a (changeable) balance between identity and diversity, permanent general elements and variations in time. Jean-Baptiste Du Bos’ Réflexions critiques sur la poésie et sur la peinture, first published in 1719, attempt to keep this balance and present themselves as an indispensable reading for those who want to discuss national characters and their causes even in 1748, when Montesquieu published the Esprit des lois and Hume Of National Characters.

In Cultural Representations of Gender Vulnerability and Resistance, 129–46. Cham: Springer International Publishing, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-95508-3_8.
Full textAbstract:
AbstractVulnerability has been traditionally opposed to resistance and agency. However, this proposition has been contested recently as a simplistic opposition of the binary kind: my argument is predicated on the idea that Andrea Arnold is a filmmaker who problematizes these concepts through a self-conscious critical gaze, in particular, in her film Red Road (2008). Drawing from Teresa De Lauretis’ approach to the technologies of gender, I will pay attention to how Arnold inverts the roles traditionally assigned in film: in this case, it is the male character the one under the female gaze, a strategy used by Arnold to question the myth of the sovereign subject. My focus will be on how Arnold presents her characters as vulnerable but always with full agency, and never as victims.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Regrettably, Christine Longford is at present remembered mostly for her marriage to Lord Edward and her administrative work at the Gate Theatre. However, she was also a successful and prolific playwright. This chapter focuses on three history plays written during World War II: Lord Edward (1941), The United Brothers (1942) and Patrick Sarsfield (1943). In these works, Longford used the stage to voice strong critique of the increased state control and censorship practices during ‘the Emergency’ in Ireland. Through the female characters, Longford comments, in particular, on the static roles Irish women had while women around the world found new opportunity.

Full textAbstract:
Starting from the critics’ observations about the structure of Microcosmi, the essay focuses on the key role played by the love story between the protagonist-narrator and his wife Marisa, a sort of rewriting of Orpheus and Eurydice’s myth. Convergences and variations between the classic vulgate of the myth and the pseudo-rewriting of Microcosmi are highlighted. The essay also focuses on the Indian myth of Savitri and Sátiavan, to understand the source of the many substantial variations and, in particular, the reversal of roles between male and female characters. This myth turns out to be a privileged source for the rewritings of the Orpheus’ myth that are offered by Magris in his Microcosmi.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on Paule Marshall’s characterization of Black upward mobility in the semiautobiographical novel, Brown Girl, Brownstones (1959). While the main characters of mother and daughter are often opposed in terms of their orientation toward the American dream, this analysis draws them together in a chiasmus of character shaped by their shared experience of racism. The Brooklyn brownstone emblematizes the difficult succession of European and non-European immigrants, and Barbadian immigrants in particular, reorienting readers toward a structural critique. Shaped not just by individual will but by determinative social forces, the spectacular figure of self making is brought into focus as a constrained character to be integrated rather than disavowed.

This chapter explores the character of the imperialist immigrant that Ameen Rihani represents in his early work. Beginning with an epistolary volume, Letters to Uncle Sam, written from 1917 to 1919, this chapter focuses on The Book of Khalid (1911), a picaresque novel whose titular protagonist seeks as the “Superman of America” to found an Arab empire on the American model. This chapter analyzes the hyperproduction of character in the manic figure of Khalid and its reframing by a wry Editor, essentially the character function of Rihani. It demonstrates how Rihani indicts the American dream and the impossible identifications to which diasporic subjects and Arab Americans in particular are subjected.

Full textAbstract:
The Introduction outlines the major concerns and central questions of the study, as well as sketching the recent and more extended intellectual history leading to it. What is the nature (the logic, the rationality) of our responses to fictional characters? In what sense, if any, do we respond to characters in films and other media as if they were real persons? Is such a (mis)apprehension a prerequisite for having an emotional response to a character? What exactly do we mean when we say that we ‘identify’ with a particular character? What is the significance of our emotional responses to characters with respect to the social and ideological import of narratives? These questions lie at the heart of our engagement with fictions, and of the institution of fiction itself. And yet in recent times, a confluence of influential artistic and theoretical traditions has led to a deep suspicion of the phenomena of character and emotion. As a consequence, we lack a nuanced theoretical account of a central aspect of narrative. The Introduction concludes by adumbrating the model of character engagement the book proposes via a brief exploration of The Accused, and provides an overview of the chapters to come.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on Ginzburg's notes about others. In particular, it examines her character analyses from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1970s, where she tries to explain history through character and character through history. Following the model of two literary landmarks from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries—Herzen's My Past and Thoughts (published in installments beginning in 1854), and Mandelstam's The Noise of Time (1928)—she tells not life stories, but stories of personality in which history is reflected. At a time when the official doctrine of Socialist Realism and the strict censorship regime had cut off any genuine intercourse between literature and life, Ginzburg's sketches constitute a gallery of portraits of her contemporaries, and a valuable literary history of her social group. They also represent a defense of “true” intelligentnost' (an orientation toward higher cultural and social values, ideals, and willingness to suffer for these) against the easy lamentations and lacerations unleashed and made more socially permissible by oppressive circumstances.

In Twenty-Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence {IJCAI-18}. California: International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.24963/ijcai.2018/608.
Full textAbstract:
The components, such as characters and radicals, of a Chinese word are important sources to help in capturing semantic information of the word. In this paper, we propose a novel framework, namely, ladder structured networks (LSN), which contains three layers representing word, character and radical and learns their embeddings synchronously. LSN captures not only the relations among words, but also the relations among their component characters and radicals, as well as the relations across layers. Each layer in LSN is pluggable so that any particular type of unit (word, character, radical) can be removed and the LSN is thus adjusted for particular types of inputs. In evaluating our framework, we use word similarity as the intrinsic evaluation and part-of-speech tagging and document classification as extrinsic evaluations. Experimental results confirm the validity of our approach and show superiority of our approach over previous work.

Full textAbstract:
China's "13th Five-Year Plan" points out that the development of the industry should adapt to the development trend of multi-media technology. Nowadays, augmented reality and virtual reality technologies have gradually penetrated into our daily life and have had a significant impact in many aspects. Since ancient times, there have been many important educational ideas in China. With the development of the Internet, there is a particular focus on the importance of Chinese characters. In recent years, the application of AR design and related research in various fields of children's education has also developed rapidly, at the same time, the unique interactive, immersive and imaginative characteristics of AR technology have greatly improved the enthusiasm and initiative of learning because they conform to children's figurative thinking. Therefore, in this environment, it is meaningful to explore how to effectively create a sought after AR children's Chinese character construction enlightenment game.【Methods】: This paper introduces augmented reality technology into the field of children's Chinese character education through technical research to create a design method of virtual-real interaction.This paper discovers the characteristics of children's language education, as well as the Chinese character root method through theoretical research, and finds the fit in children's cognitive development and the character root method. The author attempts to design a suitable set of diagrams to tap into the similarities between word-making thinking and product thinking.This paper finds the AR teaching format through market research. It weakens the one-way indoctrination process of product knowledge information and gives play to children's subjective initiative. The content is intuitive and can be used to perceive information through visual, tactile and auditory senses in a comprehensive manner.【Result】: “Chinese Characters Factory” is developed based on the Unity 3D, with ARkit as an augmented reality technology solution, run on the IOS platform. Users have access to game experience with iPad. The whole design practice is divided into three systems: Chinese character experiment system, mapping collection system and entertainment interactive system. The Chinese Character Experiment System was inspired by chemical experiments. Chinese characters are formed by the combination of character roots and graphemes with corresponding character formation methods. It identifies the Chinese character card images in the physical environment according to the image tracking technology of ARkit, being able to superpose Chinese character models. In addition, mapping collection system and entertainment interactive system are used to solve children's Chinese character literacy, novel and entertaining growth education.【Conclusion】: Children's educational products with augmented reality technology are important and innovative for the development of children's minds. It is highly interactive and rich in teaching content presentation, so it can mobilize children's all-round perception of information, which greatly stimulates children's learning interest in the learning process and brings a brand-new experience to teaching.Based on the characteristics of Chinese characters, "Chinese character Factory" is a Chinese character AR game that fits the characteristics of language education and the cognitive development of preschool children. It applies the advantages of augmented reality technology to help children learn and memorize Chinese characters in a gamified way by experimenting with synthetic Chinese characters, bringing children a vivid and interesting Chinese character learning experience. At the same time, "Chinese character test" is ready to be put on the App store.At present, the application of educational products based on augmented reality technology on the market is still in the primary stage. In the future, we still need to explore the application of augmented reality technology in education.

Full textAbstract:
Methods and tools for modeling emotions of virtual computer characters are considered. Particular attention is paid to 3D modeling of the cranial vault, mandible and teeth, as well as facial muscles and tongue. Modeling was performed using the ZBrush program using information about the anatomical structure of the skull and facial muscles, such as the occipital and temporal muscles, the arrogant muscle, the depressor, the masseter muscle, the small zygomatic muscle, the zygomaticus major muscle and the muscle lifting the angle of the mouth, the muscle lowering the angle of the mouth, the muscle that lifts the upper lip and the wing of the nose, the chin muscle and the muscle that lowers the lower lip. The resulting high-poly model was then retopologized with a decrease in the number of polygons. An example of modeling the character's head is given. Animation is made in Autodesk Maya, which is adopted by many large film and animation studios and is used more often among professional 3D artists. The principles of rigging (adding a digital skeleton and its controls to the model) and skinning (attaching the vertices of the surface that simulate the skin to the corresponding areas of the digital skeleton) are described. The anatomical signs of the manifestation of basic emotions are given and the control of the obtained model for the manifestation of some emotions is described.

In The Public/Private in Modern Civilization, the 22nd Russian Scientific-Practical Conference (with international participation) (Yekaterinburg, April 16-17, 2020). Liberal Arts University – University for Humanities, Yekaterinburg, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.35853/ufh-public/private-2020-17.
Full textAbstract:
The need for researching into ideological sources of contemporary exploitative culture is necessitated by both the outer edge of its interaction with other triggers of modernity, and the inner edge consisting in the answer to the following question: ‘what is an exploitative culture?’. The modernism era gave rise not only to global mass culture, but diverse oppositions of ‘privacy’ and ‘publicity’ categories in their key anthropological images. It seems to us to be no coincidence that exploitative culture is presented by researchers primarily in the anthropological dimension of race and sex. While considering the heroic characters proposed to be scaled for the era of modernism, it is necessary to account for the invariative content, which was reflected in gestalt of the ‘worker’ by E. Junger, and its particular historical variations. We pay our attention to the pedagogical system suggested by A. Makarenko, and the system of fostering actors of the future by V. Meyerhold as projects of the taylorisation of school and theater. The contemporary culture which, as a result of racial protests in the USA, has tended to be attributed with the predicate ‘exploitative’ reveals the exploitative meanings of the worker’s gestalt in the image of the zombie and the phenomenon of zombification associated with it. As a result of this study, conclusions were drawn regarding the continuity of the anonymous image of the ‘worker’ E. Junger and the film image of the zombie as one of modern culture’s most demanded anonymous generalised characters of the masses. Their affinity is as follows: the ‘worker’ of E. Junger is not a social, much less an economic category, it is the most common anthropological metaphore of ‘generic attributes’ to characterise the modernism era, like a zombie character in contemporary mass culture. However, if gestalt of ‘worker’ by E. Junger means the totality of creation of a new world, then the zombie character in contemporary mass culture is associated with the totality of devastation.

Many issues in the area of perception analysis have been researched in last years, in particular with respect to the theory of Uncanny Valley (UV) proposed by Masahiro Mori in 1970. Indeed, it is known that realistic characters from movies and games can cause strangeness and involuntary feelings in viewers, what can affect the acceptance of audience in games and movies. This paper aims to present concepts and discuss issues in this area.

In HERITAGE2022 International Conference on Vernacular Heritage: Culture, People and Sustainability. Valencia: Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/heritage2022.2022.15536.
Full textAbstract:
The essay investigates the relationship between some exponents of the Modern Movement and their architectural expression with the vernacular tradition. Gherardo Bosio (1903-1941) was one of the most emblematic architects of the modern transformation of Tirana. His work represents the desire to construct the image of the new city while preserving the relationship with the characters and values of tradition. Bosio's work can be ascribed to the particular trend of the Modern Movement that works in continuity with time, tradition and context. The material and immaterial cultural value of these architectures, in addition to the loss of part of the historical vernacular heritage that happens in some cases, represents the chance for the community to recognize and identify itself in a given historical and cultural contest. The relevance of the knowledge and enhancement of these assets aims to preserve the identity of a community from a process of globalization and homologation that is destroying its traces. The studio investigates the architecture of Gherardo Bosio, in his experience in Tirana. Significant in this work is the reference and reinterpretation of the vernacular Albanian Kulla. This is typical Albanian architecture, a sort of tower-house, built with compact forms and a massive character. It was oriented towards defence against possible enemy attacks. The essay investigates the contribution of vernacular architecture in some cases of Modern culture, in an effort to identify a national identity: a modernity that brings together past and future, tradition and innovation. Today, with the right distance in time, these architectures represent the contribution of the Modern in the writing of the palimpsest. These works are relevant in the definition and recognition of the characters on which to structure the values of society. The dissemination of knowledge and appreciation is useful in the constitution of a sense of local community.

In Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. California: International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.24963/ijcai.2017/411.
Full textAbstract:
Handwritten string recognition has been struggling with connected patterns fiercely. Segmentation-free and over-segmentation frameworks are commonly applied to deal with this issue. For the past years, RNN combining with CTC has occupied the domain of segmentation-free handwritten string recognition, while CNN is just employed as a single character recognizer in the over-segmentation framework. The main challenges for CNN to directly recognize handwritten strings are the appropriate processing of arbitrary input string length, which implies arbitrary input image size, and reasonable design of the output layer. In this paper, we propose a sequence labeling convolutional network for the recognition of handwritten strings, in particular, the connected patterns. We properly design the structure of the network to predict how many characters present in the input images and what exactly they are at every position. Spatial pyramid pooling (SPP) is utilized with a new implementation to handle arbitrary string length. Moreover, we propose a more flexible pooling strategy called FSPP to adapt the network to the straightforward recognition of long strings better. Experiments conducted on handwritten digital strings from two benchmark datasets and our own cell-phone number dataset demonstrate the superiority of the proposed network.

"Rotating Stall Flow and Dangerous Blade Excitation of Centrifugal Compressor Impeller: Part 1 — Phenomenon of Large-Number Stall Cells." In ASME 1991 International Gas Turbine and Aeroengine Congress and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1991. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/91-gt-102.
Full textAbstract:
A new structure of rotating stall with unusual large-number stall cells (up to 7) has been detected experimentally in a high performance single stage centrifugal compressor system with backswept impeller and vaned diffusers. The number of stall cells is firstly identified by a phase analysis of pressure signals obtained from fast response dynamic transducers located at different circumferential positions on the shroud wall, and then verified by comparing the resulting frequencies of blade vibration with that measured from blade mounted strain gages. Up to 6 transducers in one radial position have been used for more certainty of the phase analysis. For the case of intermittent stall patterns, the frequency analysis of pressure and blade vibration signals is performed separately for sections with different characters of oscillation to avoid the smearing effect if signals of the whole pattern are averaged. As a result, the large-number stall cells, numbered 4–7, were determined in the speed range of 12000–14000 rpm, and in the higher speeds of 15000–16000 rpm right after the occurrence of normal stall cells of 2, when the flow rate is slightly reduced along the constant speed line. For the large-number stall cell case, the measured blade vibration strain has reached such a high level that is already beyond the tolerance of blade material. Moreover, frequencies of blade excitation are always in the vincinity of resonance. These two features, which are not observed for the normal stall cell case and for the excitation of broadband character, show a particular danger of this phenomenon to the compressor operation.

Full textAbstract:
Previously the effect of illuminance and correlated color temperature (CCT) on reading performance had been evaluated. However, the influence among uniformity of illuminance, illuminance, and CCT had not been closely taken into account. Therefore, the aim of current study was to investigate how a particular trait of lighting conditions affected reading performance. The indoor lighting environment was conducted with two uniformity of illuminance and two light conditions. Reading tasks of finding out the incorrect characters and grammatical errors in the manuscript were carried out and the brain activities were recorded by electroencephalogram (EEG). The reading performance was evaluated by signal detection theory (SDT). The results showed that the participants performed better under high illumination uniformity and the lighting condition of 400lx and 3000K. According to the results, this study might inspires the design of indoor lighting in workplace so that working efficiency and quality could be further improved.

Full textAbstract:
Age dependent programs are responsible for the physiological and developmental differences of young and mature plants. These include a range of morphological characters such as leaf shape and leaf composition (waxes, lignin etc..) but also different in developmental potentials. Apical buds of juvenile plants are vegetative, while those of mature plants can be reproductive. Likewise, basal buds form in the axills of juvenile leaves have different fates than distal buds formed in the axils of mature leaves. The goal of our joint project is to understand and exploit theses age related programs for specific improvement of crop plants. To that end both the WIS group and the PGEC group are using mutants with age related defects as well as modified expression of miR156 to modify age related programs in crop plants- Tomato and potato in Israel and Maize, switchgrass and Brchipodium in the US. In the US, major effort were made to: Characterize the contribution of selected miR156 target genes to yield component traits of maize. Functional analysis of microRNAs and their targets in new crop plants. In Israel, the research progressed in several directions: Understanding the interplay between age dependent programs and the potential of tomato and potato meristems to produce tubers. Evaluation of the agronomic value of mutants that alter flowering regime in side shoots in general, and in the sympodial buds in particular Characterization of wild type axillary buds, comparing shoot ontogeny of gradually maturing apices from basal and distal positions along the main shoot of tomato.

I propose a simple Unicode-based lexical syntax for programming language identifiers using characters from international scripts (currently Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Math). Such cosmopolitan identifiers are designed to achieve much of the simplicity of Fortran identifiers while acknowledging a modern international outlook. This seems particularly advantageous in contexts where such identifiers are not (only) used by professional programmers, but are exposed to normal users, for example through scriptable applications.

Full textAbstract:
The article dwells upon the issues of mathematics teaching as a subject training organisational process. Historical principles and tendencies concerning subject-specialised school creation in particular as well as Russian and soviet school practice are analysed in the article. Experience of differentiation process on the high stage of school education in such countries as France, Japan and the USA has been investigated. The main functions of a subject matter mastering conception at high school have been pointed out. Mathematical education is considered to be the principal component of comprehensive education as well as the factor influencing the quality of education at a higher educational establishment on the whole run. The peculiarities of mathematical education content at a subject-specialised school in different directions of mathematical training have been illuminated in the article along with the deep consideration of succession problem of both secondary comprehensive and higher school educational processes correspondingly, which, in their turn, are regarded as the possible ways of education quality improvement in terms of higher educational establishment (HEE). The constructional principles of educational courses in various mathematical subjects are defined in the article.

Full textAbstract:
Modern types of internal threats and methods of counteracting these threats are analyzed. It is established that increasing the competence of the staff of the institution through training (education) is the most effective method of counteracting internal threats to information. A method for assessing the influence of personnel competence on institutional information security is proposed. This method takes into account violator models and information threat models that are designed for a specific institution. The method proposes to assess the competence of the staff of the institution by three components: the level of knowledge, skills, and character traits (personal qualities). It is proposed to assess the level of knowledge based on the results of test tasks of different levels of complexity. Not only the number of correct answers is taken into account, but also the complexity of test tasks. It is proposed to assess the assessment of the level of skills as the ratio of the number of correctly performed practical tasks to the total number of practical tasks. It is assumed that the number of practical tasks, their complexity is determined for each institution by the direction of activity. It is proposed to use a list of character traits for each position to assess the character traits (personal qualities) that a person must have to effectively perform the tasks assigned to him. This list should be developed in each institution. It is proposed to establish a quantitative assessment of the state of information security, defining it as restoring the amount of probability of occurrence of a threat from the relevant employee to the product of the general threat and employees of the institution. An experiment was conducted, the results of which form a particular institution show different values of the level of information security of the institution for different values of the competence of the staff of the institution. It is shown that with the increase of the level of competence of the staff of the institution the state of information security in the institution increases.

Full textAbstract:
The study explored the views of prison officer students and their supervisors regarding (1) prison officer education, (2) prison officers’ continuing professional development, (3) prison officers’ training needs and opportunities, and 4) the future of prison work. A total of ten interviews were conducted in a prison in Norway in October 2021. The prison officer students who were interviewed expressed satisfaction with their education. Communication was highlighted as the most relevant learning topic. Regarding the continuing professional development of prison officers, learning about communication and mental health issues were expressed as areas of particular significance. Learning about services for female prisoners was also brought up. The issues that impede prison officers’ participation in training were the limited time to arrange training and the lack of financial resources. The importance of collaborating and learning together with mental health professionals was expressed, but borrowing learning resources from the neighbouring disciplines was considered to be problematic because of the specific character of prison work. The future of prison work was discussed from different viewpoints. The numbers of aggressive prisoners, old prisoners and those with mental health issues were expected to increase. The need to continue the development of prisons and concerns over the future role of prison officer were also expressed. The report provided five suggestions for future research concerning correctional services.

Full textAbstract:
Education systems globally are implementing competency-based education (CBE) reforms. Vietnam's leaders have also adopted CBE in a comprehensive reform of its education since the early 2010s. Although the global idea of CBE has been widely adopted and recontextualized in various educational contexts, implementing the reform at the local level (e.g., teachers in schools) is never a linear and simple process. Given the complicated sensemaking process of competency and competency teaching, this study explores how Vietnamese teachers made sense of key competencies and adapted their teaching to competency development. Informed by a sociocultural approach and the sensemaking perspective, this study draws from a dataset of 91 secondary teachers collected over three years (2017-2019), with a particular focus on longitudinal analysis of eight teachers. The findings shed light on teachers’ ambivalence as they made sense of the target competencies and aligned their practices with the new CBE reform. Based on their prior experiences and worldviews, teachers made sense of competencies as learning foundational knowledge and skills, in addition to developing good attitude, character, and morality. Over the years, they placed a stronger emphasis on the competencies’ process-orientation, integration, and real-life application toward whole-child development. Despite teacher sensemaking and changing practices, the performativity culture for high learning outcomes still prevailed, making teaching competencies for life a challenging task. Contributing to the CBE literature and practice, this study illustrates the long and complicated process through which teachers recontextualize the CBE pedagogy. It also suggests how teacher practices can be better supported to transition to the new CBE curriculum.

Full textAbstract:
Most research on tax compliance, including research on gender differences in compliance, is based on one of two problematic sources of data. One is surveys enquiring about attitudes and beliefs about taxpaying, or actual taxpaying behaviour. The other is experiments in which people who may or may not have experience of paying different types of taxes are asked to act out roles as taxpayers in hypothetical situations. Much more accurate and reliable research is possible with access to ‘tax administrative data’, i.e. the records maintained by tax collection organisations. With tax administrative data, researchers have access to tax assessments and tax payments for specific (anonymised) individual or corporate taxpayers. Further, tax administrative data enables researchers to take account of a phenomenon largely ignored in more conventional compliance research. Tax payment is best understood not as an event, but as part of a multi-stage process of interaction between taxpayers and tax collectors. In particular, actually making a tax payment typically represents the culmination of a process that also involves: registering with the tax collecting organisation; filing annual tax returns; filing returns that indicate a payment liability; and receiving an assessment. The multi-stage character of this process raises questions about how we conceptualise and measure tax compliance. To what extent does ‘compliance’ refer to: registration, filing, accurate filing, or payment? The researchers employed this framework while using tax administrative data from the Uganda Revenue Authority to try to determine gender differences in compliance. The results are sensitive to the adoption of different definitions of compliance and subject to year-to-year changes. Finding robust answers to questions about gender differences in tax compliance is more challenging than the research literature indicates.

Full textAbstract:
It is widely accepted that schools and other settings catering to youth can play an essential role in offering education in life skills and character. However, there exists a broad array of potential targets for such programs, suggesting the need for guidance on which targets are most likely to result in demonstrable and valuable results. This report attempts to integrate a broad literature addressing the universe of targets for skills development programs for youth. After identifying a set of 30 candidate skills to investigate further, research literature was reviewed to evaluate each skill on three dimensions. Measurability had to do with the extent to which adequate measurement tools were available for evaluating skill level, with emphasis on those tools specifically used for younger populations and available in multiple languages, particularly in Spanish. Malleability had to do with the extent to which there is evidence that interventions have the potential to modify skill level, with emphasis on those that have been extensively evaluated through randomized controlled trials. Finally, meaningfulness had to do with the extent to which evidence exists demonstrating that the higher levels of skill can result in consequential outcomes. Based on these criteria, 10 skills were selected for further review as having the most compelling evidence to date that they are life skills that matter: Mindfulness, Empathy and compassion, Self-efficacy/ Self-determination, Problem solving, Critical thinking, Goal orientation and goal completion, Resilience/Stress resistance, Self-awareness, Purposefulness, and Self-regulation/Self-control/Emotion regulation. The evidence for each is summarized. We finish with a review of key issues to consider in the design, implementation, and evaluation of life skills that matter.

Full textAbstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under five key headings: HUMANITY The Panel recommends recognition that research in this field should be geared towards the development of critical understandings of self and society in the modern world. Archaeological research into the modern past should be ambitious in seeking to contribute to understanding of the major social, economic and environmental developments through which the modern world came into being. Modern-world archaeology can add significantly to knowledge of Scotland’s historical relationships with the rest of the British Isles, Europe and the wider world. Archaeology offers a new perspective on what it has meant to be a modern person and a member of modern society, inhabiting a modern world. MATERIALITY The Panel recommends approaches to research which focus on the materiality of the recent past (i.e. the character of relationships between people and their material world). Archaeology’s contribution to understandings of the modern world lies in its ability to situate, humanise and contextualise broader historical developments. Archaeological research can provide new insights into the modern past by investigating historical trends not as abstract phenomena but as changes to real lives, affecting different localities in different ways. Archaeology can take a long-term perspective on major modern developments, researching their ‘prehistory’ (which often extends back into the Middle Ages) and their material legacy in the present. Archaeology can humanise and contextualise long-term processes and global connections by working outwards from individual life stories, developing biographies of individual artefacts and buildings and evidencing the reciprocity of people, things, places and landscapes. The modern person and modern social relationships were formed in and through material environments and, to understand modern humanity, it is crucial that we understand humanity’s material relationships in the modern world. PERSPECTIVE The Panel recommends the development, realisation and promotion of work which takes a critical perspective on the present from a deeper understanding of the recent past. Research into the modern past provides a critical perspective on the present, uncovering the origins of our current ways of life and of relating to each other and to the world around us. It is important that this relevance is acknowledged, understood, developed and mobilised to connect past, present and future. The material approach of archaeology can enhance understanding, challenge assumptions and develop new and alternative histories. Modern Scotland: Archaeology, the Modern past and the Modern present vi Archaeology can evidence varied experience of social, environmental and economic change in the past. It can consider questions of local distinctiveness and global homogeneity in complex and nuanced ways. It can reveal the hidden histories of those whose ways of life diverged from the historical mainstream. Archaeology can challenge simplistic, essentialist understandings of the recent Scottish past, providing insights into the historical character and interaction of Scottish, British and other identities and ideologies. COLLABORATION The Panel recommends the development of integrated and collaborative research practices. Perhaps above all other periods of the past, the modern past is a field of enquiry where there is great potential benefit in collaboration between different specialist sectors within archaeology, between different disciplines, between Scottish-based researchers and researchers elsewhere in the world and between professionals and the public. The Panel advocates the development of new ways of working involving integrated and collaborative investigation of the modern past. Extending beyond previous modes of inter-disciplinary practice, these new approaches should involve active engagement between different interests developing collaborative responses to common questions and problems. REFLECTION The Panel recommends that a reflexive approach is taken to the archaeology of the modern past, requiring research into the nature of academic, professional and public engagements with the modern past and the development of new reflexive modes of practice. Archaeology investigates the past but it does so from its position in the present. Research should develop a greater understanding of modern-period archaeology as a scholarly pursuit and social practice in the present. Research should provide insights into the ways in which the modern past is presented and represented in particular contexts. Work is required to better evidence popular understandings of and engagements with the modern past and to understand the politics of the recent past, particularly its material aspect. Research should seek to advance knowledge and understanding of the moral and ethical viewpoints held by professionals and members of the public in relation to the archaeology of the recent past. There is a need to critically review public engagement practices in modern-world archaeology and develop new modes of public-professional collaboration and to generate practices through which archaeology can make positive interventions in the world. And there is a need to embed processes of ethical reflection and beneficial action into archaeological practice relating to the modern past.

Full textAbstract:
Several sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits have alkaline magmatism that is temporally and spatially associated to mineralization. This report outlines interim data from a study of potential linkages between magmatism and SEDEX mineralization in the Selwyn Basin, Yukon. This region is an ideal study site due to the close spatial and temporal relationships between SEDEX deposits and magmatism, particularly in the MacMillan Pass, where volcanic rocks have been drilled with mineralization at the Boundary deposit. Alkaline volcanic samples were analysed from the Anvil District, MacMillan Pass, Keno-Mayo and the Misty Creek Embayment in the Selwyn Basin to characterise volcanism and examine the relationship to mineralization. Textural and field relationships indicate a volatile-rich explosive eruptive volcanic system in the MacMillan Pass region in comparison to the Anvil District, which is typically effusive in nature. High proportions of calcite and ankerite in comparison to other minerals are present in the MacMillan system. Cathodoluminescence imaging reveals zoning and carbonate that displays different luminescent colours within the same sample, likely indicating multiple generations of carbonate precipitation. Barium contents are enriched in volcanic rocks throughout the Selwyn Basin, which is predominately hosted by hyalophane with rare barite and barytocalcite. Thallium is positively correlated with Ba, Rb, Cs, Mo, As, Sb and the calcite-chlorite-pyrite index and is negatively correlated with Cu. Anvil District samples display a trend towards depleted mid-ocean ridge mantle on a plot of Ce/Tl versus Th/Rb. Hydrothermal alteration has likely led to the removal of Tl from volcanic rocks in the region. Ongoing research involves: i) the analysis of Sr, Nd, Pb and Tl isotopes of volcanic samples; ii) differentiating magmatic from hydrothermal carbonate using O, C and Sr isotopes; iii) examining sources of Ba in the Selwyn Basin; iv) and constraining age relationships through U-Th-Pb geochronology.
