Abstract:
The Olympic Games promise great things; world peace and the transformation of the host city are but two ambitions of the Olympic Movement. The benefits and changes that the 2012 Olympics are supposed to bring to the London Borough of Newham—which will host some 80 per cent of the Olympic events—have been much lauded by the Olympic apparatchiks who typically proselytise about the transformation of communities, countries and individuals via the staging of the Games. The local Organising Committee and others—typically within the real estate sector—are the people who shape these sentiments into particular land deals that will serve to justify the plethora of deals, contracts and developments. Whilst the Olympics are about transformations, ostensibly in the lives of athletes, ordinary people and communities, transformations of an even more lasting sort occur in the Olympic neighbourhood through massive construction and servicing contracts. The Olympics are also about discipline which plays out not only in terms of the preparation of athletes to perform at their utmost, but is imperative to all the arrangements required to host such a huge event. For the good of the Games, people living in the shadow of the 2012 Olympic stadium face having their movements and their neighbourhoods subjected to all manner of prohibitions and limitations.

Abstract:
In this paper, I explore female actresses undergoing radical or seemingly radical physical transformation in service of a broader kind of career transformation. I problematize the simple calculation of deglamming, thinking more closely about the ways that celebrity structure raises challenges to actors and especially actresses attempting to engage with against-type characters. I turn specifically to three well-known examples of this trend: Charlize Theron in Monster (2003), Nicole Kidman in The Hours (2002), and Jennifer Aniston in Cake (2014). I argue that the process we see is not about deglamming (or getting ugly) for its own sake. Deglamming in these cases is a process of estrangement: from beauty, from the celebrity machine, from audience expectations. I draw on screen shots, film reviews and interviews to explore the relationship between deglamming and estrangement as a kind of acting and character technique, paying particular attention to the stakes for presenting historical characters in biopics. And while the three films I examine here – Monster, The Hours, and Cake – are often thought together as examples of actress Oscar uglification, they are actually quite different, both in terms of the physical transformations the actresses underwent in service of their characters, and the ways in which these transformations were understood and received.

Abstract:
This research utilized the E. coli manA gene encoding phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) selection on sucrose/mannose medium to increase transformation efficiencies after biolistic transformation of two immature citrus rootstock cultivars. Plasmid DNA, containing the manA gene and the enhanced green fluorescent protein (egfp) reporter gene, was bombarded into epicotyl explants of immature Carrizo citrange and Swingle citrumelo. GFP positive shoots were micro-grafted onto in vitro grown immature Carrizo rootstocks. Nineteen transgenic Carrizo shoots were obtained from ten paired shots, and eight Swingle shoots from five paired shots. The mean transformation efficiency of Carrizo was 1.9 transgenics/paired shot while the transformation efficiency of Swingle was comparable at 1.6 transgenics/paired shot. The transformants were analyzed by PCR for the presence of transgenes. Southern blot analysis of eight representative Carrizo transgenic events and four Swingle transgenic events showed that all transgenics had one to three copies of the manA gene. The PMI enzyme activity in the transgenic lines was confirmed using the chlorophenol red assay.

Abstract:
The preservation of Balinese carving data is a challenge in recognition of Balinese carving. Balinese carvings are a cultural heritage found in traditional buildings in Bali. The collection of Balinese carving images from public images can be a solution for preserving cultural heritage. However, the lousy quality of taking photographs, e.g., skewed shots, can affect the recognition results. Research on the Balinese carving recognition has existed but only recognizes a predetermined image. We proposed a Neural Style Geometric Transformation (NSGT) as a data augmentation technique for Balinese carvings recognition. NSGT is combining Neural Style Transfers and Geometric Transformations for a small dataset solution. This method provides variations in color, lighting, rotation, rescale, zoom, and the size of the training dataset, to improve recognition performance. We use MobileNet as a feature extractor because it has a small number of parameters, which makes it suitable to be applied on mobile devices. Eight scenarios were tested based on image styles and geometric transformations to get the best results. Based on the results, the proposed method can improve accuracy by up to 16.2%.

Abstract:
Histologic transformation (HT) is a major cause of drug resistance to therapy in patients with lung cancer. HTs to small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) have been reported frequently in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR)-mutated lung cancer. Although HTs have an impact on the clinical outcomes in patients owing to a high refractoriness to treatments, there is limited data on the prevalence, causes, mechanisms, treatment efficacy, and future treatment strategies. In this review, we assess the literature regarding HTs comprehensively, including those describing EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors, other molecular targeted drugs, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Furthermore, we discuss the mechanisms of HTs and the lineage plasticity to SCLC and squamous cell carcinoma in lung cancer. In addition, we summarize the treatment efficacy and future perspectives of HTs in patients with lung cancer, and propose better management strategies for this group of patients.

Abstract:
We extend a relational model of spirituality and transformation based on Shuts’ and Sandage's previous interdisciplinary work in Transforming Spirituality. Spirituality is conceptualized based on a relational framework, and transformation is understood as emerging through an intensification of relational anxiety. Spiritual maturity is related to differentiation of self, based on theology and social science. The risks and challenges of relational intimacy and alterity are proposed as two relational pathways toward differentiation and spiritual transformation. Practical relational strategies to enhance spiritual formation based on this model within a seminary training context are described with particular attention to intercultural development and relational justice.

Abstract:
Marine walk‐away vertical seismic profiling (VSP) data can be transformed into reverse VSP data using an elastic reciprocity transformation. A reciprocity transform is derived and tested using data generated with a 2-D high‐order, finite‐difference modeling scheme in a complex elastic model. First, 201 shots are generated with a walk‐away VSP experimental configuration. Both the x‐component and the z‐component of the displacement are measured. These data are collected in two common receiver data sets. Then two shots are generated in a reverse VSP configuration. We demonstrate that subtraction of the reverse VSP data from the walk‐away VSP data gives very small residuals. The transformation of walk‐away data into reverse VSP data makes prestack shot‐domain migration feasible for walk‐away data. Synthetic data from a multishot walk‐away experiment can be obtained from one or a few modeling operations with a RVSP experimental configuration. The required computer time is reduced by two orders of magnitude.

Abstract:
AbstractThe aim of the present study was to identify groups of offensive performance indicators which best discriminated between a match score (favourable, balanced or unfavourable) in water polo. The sample comprised 88 regular season games (2011-2014) from the Spanish Professional Water Polo League. The offensive performance indicators were clustered in five groups: Attacks in relation to the different playing situations; Shots in relation to the different playing situations; Attacks outcome; Origin of shots; Technical execution of shots. The variables of each group had a constant sum which equalled 100%. The data were compositional data, therefore the variables were changed by means of the additive log-ratio (alr) transformation. Multivariate discriminant analyses to compare the match scores were calculated using the transformed variables. With regard to the percentage of right classification, the results showed the group that discriminated the most between the match scores was “Attacks outcome” (60.4% for the original sample and 52.2% for cross-validation). The performance indicators that discriminated the most between the match scores in games with penalties were goals (structure coefficient (SC) = .761), counterattack shots (SC = .541) and counterattacks (SC = .481). In matches without penalties, goals were the primary discriminating factor (SC = .576). This approach provides a new tool to compare the importance of the offensive performance groups and their effect on the match score discrimination.

Abstract:
Star shot analysis is one common and important module in physics quality assurance (QA) which is regularly performed on the radiotherapy machine. A star shot analysis method by image processing is proposed. First, through ROI selection and image binarization, the irrelevant image parts are excluded and the star-shots are highlighted. Then the center and beam branches of the shots are determined by iteration, coordinate transformation, threshold values analysis and image segmentation. Finally, beam center lines and a minimum circle encompassing beam intersections are calculated by mathematic operations. The proposed method is performed on three star shot films and all beam center lines, beam intersections and minimum circles are obtained instantly and showed clearly. The results present good consistency with the commercial verification software and indicate that the proposed method provides the physicist a considerable comparison in physics QA.

Full text
Abstract:
In the last decades, the multi-scale approach has gained wide attention for studying and understanding the mechanisms affecting the performance of asphalt mixtures. According to such approach, the asphalt mixture could be seen as an assemblage of components of different length scales, each with its own mechanical properties, and thanks to the investigation on these lower scales a scale-wise insight can be gained and used to capture phenomena not considered in continuum approaches. This Thesis is focused on the interrelation between the Fine Aggregate Matrix (FAM) the asphalt mixtures. Fine aggregates, filler, binder and air voids compose the FAM, which represents the intermediate scale between mastic and asphalt mixture. This phase has a critical role in the overall performance evaluation of asphalt mixture and the simplicity, efficiency and the lower costs/times required to study the FAM make it a very attractive specification-type approach. However, despite the growing interest on FAM testing, there are some concerns about proper FAM mix design. Moreover, there are many lacks in predicting the performances of asphalt mixtures from the FAM phase. The primary objective of this Thesis was the identification of a design method for FAM, which allows recreating the FAM phase, as it exists within the asphalt mixture. The selected design method has shown promising results and seems quite accurate in reproducing the FAM within the asphalt mixture. The second issue which is pursued in this Thesis, is a multi-scale approach based on the rheological 2S2P1D model, allowing to interrelate the four material scales (from binder to asphalt mixture). Firstly, it was verified that the 2S2P1D model remains valid for FAM in the Linear ViscoElastic (LVE) range and that it could adequately fit experimental data of FAM. Then, it was possible to relate the different phases thanks to the definition of interrelationships between one model parameter. The interrelation between the asphalt mixture and the corresponding FAM could be used to predict the rheological properties of the asphalt mixtures starting from FAM tests. This methodology allows making reliable forecasts of the LVE behaviour of the asphalt mixtures, as demonstrated by the results of validation tests. Future developments will investigate other volumetric compositions of mixes, to study the influence of microstructural and volumetric characteristics on the model parameters.

Abstract:
This article appears in theOxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aestheticsedited by John Richardson, Claudia Gorbman, and Carol Vernallis. During the 1980s and 1990s, China experienced an explosion of films for youth, imbued with the aesthetic and ethic of rock ‘n’ roll. This chapter examines a variety of films, from the countercultural to the more mainstream, focusing on the voice, image, persona, and iconography of Cui Jian, and offering an audiovisual perspective on urban youth cinema and Chinese rock. The emergence and development of Chinese rock ‘n’ roll film from the late 1980s to the twenty-first century resulted from widespread, multifaceted transformations in postsocialist China. At the core of this rock imaginary is the aesthetic of cinema vérité and postsocialist realism. In sync with the kaleidoscopic manifestation of the cityscape and long tracking shots of protagonists roaming the metropolis, rock music and the hand-held mobile camera seek to document a reality of postmodern life and capture a feeling of postsocialist anxiety-a concern for realism articulated through dialogue and ambient sound.

Full text
Abstract:
Cinematic motion has long been celebrated as an emblem of change and fluidity or claimed as the source of cinema’s impression of reality. But such general claims undermine the sheer variety of forms that motion can take onscreen—the sweep of a gesture, the rush of a camera movement, the slow transformations of a natural landscape. What might one learn about the moving image when one begins to account for the many ways that movements move? In The Shape of Motion: Cinema and the Aesthetics of Movement, Jordan Schonig provides a new way of theorizing cinematic motion by examining cinema’s “motion forms”: structures, patterns, or shapes of movement unique to the moving image. From the wild and unpredictable motion of flickering leaves and swirling dust that captivated early spectators, to the pulsing abstractions that emerge from rapid lateral tracking shots, to the bleeding pixel-formations caused by the glitches of digital video compression, each motion form opens up the aesthetics of movement to film theoretical inquiry. By pairing close analyses of onscreen movement in narrative and experimental films with concepts from Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Henri Bergson, and Immanuel Kant, Schonig rethinks long-standing assumptions within film studies, such as indexical accounts of photographic images and analogies between the camera and the human eye. Arguing against the intuition that cinema reproduces the natural perception of motion, The Shape of Motion shows how cinema’s motion forms do not merely transpose the movements of the world in front of the camera; they transform them.

Abstract:
This chapter investigates the effects mirrors in films can have on the composition of a filmic image, the staging of a scene and the viewing activities of spectators. It discusses four such effects. (1) So-called ‘complex mirror shots’ can modify how spectators look onto the picture as a flat composition by way of a quasi-transformation of the screen shape. (2) They can function as a magnetizing frame-within-the-frame that channels the viewer’s look into the anterior depth of the mirror. (3) By referring spectators to off-screen space and thus making them look beyond the image into its lateral and posterior depth, some specific examples also allow for an intricately layered experience of perception and imagination, challenging and complicating efforts to “read” the image. (4) Finally, mirrors may be a source of spatial complication and can even lead to a full-blown disorientation regarding the status of the image, thus transforming the way viewers understand, problematize and look at the filmic image as such.

Abstract:
This epilogue discusses that by the end of the socialist period in 1978, a new generation of immunologists and bacteriologists was beginning to rise to prominence, although the Cultural Revolution had broadly impeded and delayed education in this field. Many founding figures in modern Chinese immunology were by this time retired or dead. Despite the erosion of many programs that had delivered vaccines and other health services to large rural populations, mass immunization has continued after the economic reforms of the 1980s as a mandatory, regular practice of childhood health in China. A baby born in the People's Republic of China, much like their counterparts in the United States and Europe, is given a battery of mandatory shots by the age of two that provides protection against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, and other illnesses—and including the BCG and oral polio vaccines. These vaccinations are administered against a backdrop of growing environmental crisis and rising pharmaceutical safety concerns. By 2010, however, cancer, respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic illnesses replaced infectious diseases as the primary causes of death. China's twentieth century thus saw a remarkable transformation in causes and scales of mortality. The establishment of a universal, mandatory immunization system in the mid-twentieth century helped make that transformation, and its surveillance, possible.

Abstract:
Globalization phenomenon caused effects that profoundly reduced the variety of reality, involving cultural, social and economic diversities, once recognizable and also identifiable through the study of architecture as a collective product of a civil community. In this context, architecture, as built and anthropic reality, suffered the shots of a revolution that has produced osmosis, hybridisation, contamination, both diatopic that diachronic, now became synchronic and syntopic phenomena. Actually, you can find / read common characters in the substrate, first typological then material, which, if critically interpreted, could indicate a possible and alternative way out of this apparent chaotic condition. In my opinion, following the consolidated basis of a theoretical and cultural heritage that has provided tools for critical reading of urban transformations, it is possible to distinguish two types of processes, usually traceable in cities. In order to rich this goal, I used the tools of the mechanical building discipline that identify: ‘elastic’ and ‘plastic’ transformations. The ‘elastic’ transformation produces ‘elastic cities’ because, at the end of the sustained stresses, the final configuration not change, instead the ‘plastic’ one produces ‘plastic cities’ when, at the end of the sustained stresses, the final configuration is not coincided with the initial one. These considerations / critical notes are the beginning of a research that, in my opinion, could offer inedited developments, both in the recognition of an unusual history of architecture, closer to his material essence, either as design and project tools, coherent with new consolidated environments.

Full text
Abstract:
Numerical simulations of the friction stir welding of dissimilar metal joints is a daunting task given the complex issues involved such as the flow mixing action and the phase transformations. In this work, a 3D thermo-mechanical FE model is developed to simulate the dissimilar friction stir welding (DFSW) of aluminum-magnesium bi-metallic joints. The model is built using a manufacturing-processing-specific FEM software package (DEFORM 3D). Suitable constitutive laws are implemented to describe flow stress for both welded constituents: Al and Mg. The flow patterns of the stirring action from the simulations were verified against flow patterns of steel shots reported from experiments published in the literature. Also, the simulated interface patterns were found to be in agreement with microscopic images of welded sections taken from reported experiments. Furthermore, simulated temperature profiles favorably compare with temperature measurements previously published in the literature. The numerical model output includes relevant results such as material flow and volume fractions throughout the joint but most importantly in the recrystallized stir zone.

In The European Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics. Washington, D.C.: Optica Publishing Group, 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.1364/cleo_europe.1998.cmb2.

Full text
Abstract:
Physical and chemical transformations induced upon sintered aluminum nitride (AIN) ceramic materials under KrF excimer laser irradiation have been studied in order to improve its properties and make this advanced material interesting for microelectronic applications or high power electrical systems. Due to its high thermal conductivity (180 W.m-1.K-1 at 20 °C), its high electrical resistivity (1014 Ω.cm at 25 °C), a low thermal expansion coefficient (5.10-6 K), a high temperature resistance (sublimation temperature 2500 °C), a very high hardness (1100 Kgf.mm-2) and a relative chemical inertia, AIN is a very attractive material for industrial uses[1]. Experiments were performed using a LPX 220i KrF-248 nm- excimer laser able to deliver 0.4 J in 20 ns (FWHM) at 1-200 Hz repetition rate. Experimental conditions were chosen as following: incident fluence between 0.5 and 5 J/cm2, up to 100 shots in atmospheric pressure ambient air. The material investigated was a commercial sintered ceramic crystallized in the wurtzite structure. After irradiation, depending on the fluence level, interaction processes induce color and topography changes in the impacted areas: - a reversible one, from the initial color (white/grey) to brown-yellow at low fluence (F< 0.5 J/cm2); - a irreversible one, from white to silver-grey at higher fluence (> 1J/cm2) with roughness and porosity modifications. This last process suggests a melting and vaporization of the surface and a one-step metallization process confirmed by different surface analysis techniques [2]. A molten layer is produced in the bulk material (200 nm) and the initial roughness (0.35 μm Ra) is decreased. Auger Electron Spectroscopy, Raman Spectroscopy and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy gave results on composition and chemical bondings onto the extreme surface and in the molten layer. Low incidence angle X-ray diffraction method characterized elements and structure. These analysis revealed the obtaining of a electrical conductive path onto the substrate constituted in an Aluminum-rich layer. AES showed alumina with oxygen, carbon and nitrogen on foe top characteristic of a contamination layer before irradiation; after treatment, Al2O3 appears on foe top, Al in the melted depth (after sputtering). The formation of this aluminum layer is confirmed by XPS analysis where Al peak is shifted from 78.5 to 79.7 eV. On the Ruman spectra, foe three Al-N bonds desappeared after irradiations evidencing the metallic aspect of the surface. X-Y electrical resistance measurements were performed in order to confirm this metallization process using a classical four-probes measurement head The resistance (infinite on the initial material) drops to some Ω on the irradiated area (2 J/cm2; 20-50 shots) with a very sharp transition zone (a few microns). These experiments shown it is possible to obtain a conductive path by a chemical modification of the insolating ceramic surface with a very flexible way using an excimer laser, mask projection or micromarking by a scanning system. Measurements of the electrical resistivity evolution of the aluminum-rich conductive path with time under industrial conditions (ambient air, humidity, temperature) are in progress in the laboratory.
