This article pursues two tasks. The first is to clarify the value and productivity of Williams’s Keywords: a vocabulary culture society (first edition 1976, second expanded 1983a) for project Cultural Studies. clarification helped, I argue, by reading it alongside Vološinov’s Marxism philosophy language (published in Russian 1929, translated into English 1973). related task speculative developm...

The present study aims to predict the potential geographic distribution and future expansion of invasive alien lionfish (Pterois miles) with ecological niche modelling along the Mediterranean Sea. The primary data consisted of occurrence points of P. miles in the Mediterranean and marine climatic data layers were collected from global databases. All the used models run 100% su...

OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to explore a bibliometric approach to quantitatively assess current research trends in lung cancer in Japan, using the related literature in the Science Citation Index (SCI) database from 1991 to 2008. MATERIALS AND METHODS Articles were analyzed by the scientific output and research performances of individuals, institutes, and collaborative countries with ...

We study the development of conjunctive keyword searchable scheme which enables one to search encrypted documents by using more than one keyword. The notion of conjunctive keyword searching was presented by Golle et al. in 2004. However, their security model was constructed in a symmetric-key setting which is not applicable for the overall applications in the reality. So Park et al. extended Go...

In this paper we present several proofs on the extension of M. Riesz fractional integration and di¤erentiation to the contexts of spaces of homogeneous type and measure metric spaces with non-doubling measures. 1. Introduction, some de…nitions, and a basic lemma Professor M. Ash asked me to write a survey article on some of the results that Stephen Vági and I obtained in the nineties on fractio...

A proof of reciprocity relations for nonlinear systems ininhomogeneous variable electric and magnetic fields in the presence ofunsteady spin currents, thermodynamic flows mechanical disturbances isobtained by Kubo method approximation Markov relaxation andlocally quasi-equilibrium distribution. Keywords: Nonlinear distributed systems, locally distribution, relaxation, current, reciprocity\

In information retrieval systems, it is very important that indexing is defined very well by appropriate terms about documents. In this paper, we propose a simple retrieval model based on terms distribution characteristics besides term frequency in documents. We define the keywords distribution characteristics using a statistics, standard deviation. We can extract document keywords that term fr...

As the number of systems which offer annotations on digital documents increases, robust anchoring of annotations is a key challenge. It is especially important if the annotator lacks write-access to the document being annotated. For example, if someone makes an annotation on a web page today and the web page changes tomorrow, what happens to the annotation? One approach is simply to “orphan” th...

In this paper a three dimensional thermal model of a sliding contact system is proposed for both steady-state or transient conditions. The influence of contact force, electric current and ambient temperature on the temperature distribution, has been investigated. A thermal analysis of the different type of the graphite material of fixed electric contact and its influence on contact system tempe...
