Ethical Dilemma and Nihilism in Munro\u27s Passion
Full text linkIn their article Ethical Dilemma and Nihilism in Munro\u27s \u27Passion\u27 Xiying Liu and Hongbin Dai discuss ethical issues in Alice Munro\u27s short story Passion. When attempting to escape the shackles of multiple ethical identities, the short story\u27s protagonist Grace encounters dilemmas and in consequence makes wrong decisions with regard to the principle of ethics. The other protagonist of the story, Neil, commits suicide demonstrating that he breaks off all relationship with the world. Liu and Dai argue that Neil\u27s death deconstructs Grace\u27s ethical dilemmas and thus the narrative constructs a sense of nihilism. Liu and Dai posit that Munro\u27s short story reveals the humility, fragility, and complexity of human nature

Simulation of rail wheel axle bearing vibration due to local damages on outer races
No full textThis paper presents a dynamic model of bearings that simulates the vibration of rail wheel bearings due to local damages such as pits on the bearing outer race. The model, based on the multi-body simulation software RecurDyn, integrates the major parts of the functionalities according to the three-dimensional model and railway axle dynamic system. Three types of surface damages on the raceway of cylindrical roller bearings were designed and evaluated by the dynamic model developed in this study. The results show that the dynamic model can effectively simulate the influence of the damages on the bearing vibration under varied pit shape and size. Furthermore, the model can predict the level of bearing damage based on the peak value of bearing vibration in the frequency domai

Predictive spatio-temporal modelling with neural networks
Full text linkHongbin Liu studied the predictive spatio-temporal modelling using Neural Networks. Predictive spatio-temporal modelling is a challenge task due to the complex non-linear spatio-temporal dependencies, data sparsity and uncertainty.
Hongbin Liu investigated the modelling difficulties and proposed three novel models to tackle the difficulties for three common spatio-temporal datasets. He also conducted extensive experiments on several real-world datasets for various spatio-temporal prediction tasks, such as travel mode classification, next-location prediction, weather forecasting and meteorological imagery prediction. The results show our proposed models consistently achieve exceptional improvements over state-of-the-art baselines
