Net Occurrences in Fibonacci and Thue-Morse Words
Get PDFA net occurrence of a repeated string in a text is an occurrence with unique left and right extensions, and the net frequency of the string is the number of its net occurrences in the text. Originally introduced for applications in Natural Language Processing, net frequency has recently gained attention for its algorithmic aspects. Guo et al. [CPM 2024] and Ohlebusch et al. [SPIRE 2024] focus on its computation in the offline setting, while Guo et al. [SPIRE 2024], Inenaga [arXiv 2024], and Mieno and Inenaga [CPM 2025] tackle the online counterpart. Mieno and Inenaga also characterize net occurrences in terms of the minimal unique substrings of the text. Additionally, Guo et al. [CPM 2024] initiate the study of net occurrences in Fibonacci words to establish a lower bound on the asymptotic running time of algorithms. Although there has been notable progress in algorithmic developments and some initial combinatorial insights, the combinatorial aspects of net occurrences have yet to be thoroughly examined. In this work, we make two key contributions. First, we confirm the conjecture that each Fibonacci word contains exactly three net occurrences. Second, we show that each Thue-Morse word contains exactly nine net occurrences. To achieve these results, we introduce the notion of overlapping net occurrence cover, which narrows down the candidate net occurrences in any text. Furthermore, we provide a precise characterization of occurrences of Fibonacci and Thue-Morse words of smaller order, offering structural insights that may have independent interest and potential applications in algorithm analysis and combinatorial properties of these words
Phantoms of Anglo-Confederate commerce : an historical and archaeological investigation of American civil war blockade running
No full textDuring the American Civil War Wilmington, North Carolina and the
Bermudian ports of St. Georges and Hamilton served as vital links in a
complex trading network that developed to facilitate the exchange of southern
agricultural products for war materials and civilian merchandise through a
Union blockade of the Confederacy. Although that material contributed
significantly to the Confederate war effort, Anglo-Confederate blockade
running has received limited scholarly attention. Much of the associated
literature is based on memoirs rather than scholarship and does not accurately,
reflect that necessarily clandestine trade. The primary goal of this thesis is to
produce a more comprehensive and detailed picture of blockade running, the
cargoes carried through the Union blockade and the powerful steam vessels
that made Anglo-Confederate commerce possible. Unlike previous treatments,
this thesis combines the results of both archival and archaeological research.
The results illustrate the evolution of strategies involved in both establishing
and maintaining the blockade and those developed for running the blockade.
Assessment of the vessel remains and historical data associated with the
construction and procurement of steamers identifies the vessel types and
confirms that blockade runners adapted extant technology. Contrary to the
popularly held impression, no technological innovations were specifically
developed to address the demands of the trade. The spatial distribution of
wrecks and the minimal amount of cultural material surviving in association
with them, provides strong evidence that cargoes were more valuable than the
vessels. That premise influenced the strategy adopted by blockade runners.
While Confederate salvors left little evidence of cargo, historical research
revealed a wealth of new insight into the specific nature of that material. This
new evidence provides a more accurate and detailed picture of Anglo-
Confederate blockade running and the strategies, ships and cargoes that made
blockade running between Wilmington and Bermuda a success
Parent-Carer blame in autism services: A conversation with Alice Running (The Portal Podcast)
No full textIn this episode of the Portal Podcast, Professor Sarah Lonbay and Dr Lesley Deacon speak with writer and author Alice Running about the systemic issue of parent-carer blame in autism and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) services. Drawing on her lived experience as an autistic mother of neurodivergent children, Alice explains how she has repeatedly encountered damaging narratives from professionals, ranging from assumptions about her parenting to misinterpretations of her children’s needs.
Alice discusses her research collaboration with parent advocate Danielle Jata-Hall, which surveyed over 1,000 parent carers across the UK, exposing a widespread culture of blame. She highlights how generic, non-individualised interventions, which are often based on neurotypical benchmarks, fail autistic and PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance/Pervasive Drive for Autonomy) children, and how inappropriate support can create distress while parents are blamed for “non-compliance.”
The conversation explores the biases faced by lone parents and neurodivergent parents, the harmful conflation of disability provision and safeguarding, and the importance of autistic-informed practice, genuine listening, and professional curiosity. Alice also offers practical suggestions for change, including separating safeguarding from provision, adopting a cultural lens to assess autistic families, improving accountability, and increasing professional training
Gait feature subset selection by mutual information
Get PDFFeature selection is an important pre-processing step for pattern recognition. It can discard irrelevant and redundant information that may not only affect a classifier’s performance, but also tell against system’s efficiency. Meanwhile, feature selection can help to identify the factors that most influence the recognition accuracy. The result can provide valuable clues to understand and reason what is the underlying distinctness among human gait-patterns. In this paper, we introduce a computationally-efficient solution to the problem of human gait feature selection. We show that feature selection based on mutual information can provide a realistic solution for high-dimensional human gait data. To assess the performance of the proposed approach, experiments are carried out based on a 73-dimensional model-based gait features set and a 64 by 64 pixels model-free gait symmetry map. The experimental results confirmed the effectiveness of the method, removing about 50% of the model-based features and 95% of the symmetry map’s pixels without significant accuracy loss, which outperforms correlation and ANOVA based methods
Tregouboviopsis Guo, Xu & Huang 2017, gen. nov
No full textGenus Tregouboviopsis Guo, Xu & Huang, gen. nov. Type species: Tregoubovia perradialis Xu, Huang & Du, 2012. Diagnosis. Ptilocodiidae medusae spherical; without tentacles; bell margin with nematocyst ring from which originate didermic centripetal tracks running meridionally on exumbrella; manubrium large, mouth quadratic with simple and long, unbranched oral tentacles, arising above mouth rim, unarmed terminal nematocyst clusters, and with ring nematocysts along the whole length of the oral tentacles; gonads very large, covering perradial on manubrium well, with mescenteries; without ocelli. Hydroid. Unknown. Remarks. The species Tregoubovia perradialis Xu, Huang & Du, 2012 is originally described under the genus Tregoubovia by the distinctness of simple unbranched oral tentacles, without marginal tentacles and exumbrella with didermic centripetal tracks. By reexamining the type specimens, its positions of oral tentacles and gonads are different from Tregoubovia atentaculata Picard, 1958, the type species of the genus. T. atentaculata has 4 oral arms extending directly from the perradial corners of mouth margin, with one terminal nematocyst clusters; gonads on interradial manubrium (Fig. 5), while T. perradialis has 4 oral tentacles arising above mouth rim, unarmed terminal nematocyst clusters, and with ring nematocysts along the whole oral tentacles; gonads on perradial manubrium (Figs 6–7). Therefore, the species T. perradialis is removed from the genus Tregoubovia and a new genus Tregouboviopsis Guo, Xu & Huang, gen. nov. is erected to accommodate it. Etymology. The genus name is derived from the Latin tregouboviopsis, meaning Tregoubovi-opsis, referring to external characters of both genera are nearly resemble.Published as part of Wang, Lianggen, Du, Feiyan, Xu, Zhenzu, Huang, Jiaqi & Guo, Donghui, 2017, Taxonomical notes on the family Ptilocodiidae (Anthomedusae) from the central and southern of South China Sea, with a new genus and a new species, pp. 236-242 in Zoological Systematics 42 (2) on pages 239-240, DOI: 10.11865/zs.201713, http://zenodo.org/record/461701

Effect of heat treatment on small scale fragmentation of aluminium alloy
Get PDFSmall scale explosions, using a detonator, of 7075 aluminium alloy cylinders,
15-100 mm outside diameter, were carried out to investigate the effects of heat
treatment on fragmentation. This was the finest for the strongest as received
alloy and coarsest for the softest overaged alloy. This effect was similar to
that seen in investigations of the fragmentation of steel. Cylinders of 50 and
100 mm in diameter did not fragment but plastically deformed with maximum
deformation at the cylinder bottom. Fragmentation of 33 and 42 mm diameter
cylinders produced long fragments typical of the break-up of thick walled
cylinders. At smaller diameters, break-up gave fragments of several shapes,
finer fragments being largely associated with the smallest diameter cylinders
and the highest strength alloys. Results followed those seen in large scale
studies of cylinder break-up and suggest the possibility of using small scale
fragmentation experiments in the investigation of the effects of composition,
heat treatment and processing on natural fragmentation
