No full text"...a small fish in a small pond..." The Reverend W.B. Clarke (1798-1878): 200 Years On
No full textThe Reverend W.B. Clarke remains something of an enigma in the annals of Australian science, despite the publication of numerous books and articles on his life and times. The author argues that this is mainly due to the deficiencies of previous researchers in addressing the full gamut of that Reverend gentleman’s work. Though the basic details of Clarke’s life are clearly known, numerous significant gaps exist in the surviving archive. For example, his personal collection of rocks, fossils, geological maps and library was destroyed in the Garden Palace fire of 1882; his large corpus of work which appeared in Australian newspapers between 1839-78 has only recently been identified; and a collection of personal correspondence awaits ‘translation’ and publication. Until these omissions are addressed, the jury must remain out as to whether W.B. Clarke deserves the title ‘Father of Australian Geology’ or any similar accolade
Manifestation of the quantum size effect in transmission resonance
No full textThe transmission probability of the free electron scattered by the quantum well in metal film may reveal the phenomenon of resonance. This transmission resonance, appearing above the vacuum level, can be probed by scanning tunnelling spectroscopy (STS). In this paper, STS is used to observe the transmission resonance on Ag films grown on Si(111)7 × 7 surfaces. The transmission resonance appears at different bias voltages in the spectra depending on the film thickness; its energy level moves toward the vacuum level with increasing film thickness. When the film is thick enough, transmission resonance can occur twice in the biasing voltage range, & the energy separation between the resonances decreases with increasing film thickness. The existence of transmission resonance affects the contemporary standing wave states (SWS) and, in general, pushes the following SWS to higher energies

Room Acoustical Parameter Estimation from Room Impulse Responses Using Deep Neural Networks
No full textWe describe a new method to estimate the geometry of a room and reflection coefficients given room impulse responses. The method utilizes convolutional neural networks to estimate the room geometry and multilayer perceptrons to estimate the reflection coefficients. The mean square error is used as the loss function. In contrast to existing methods, we do not require the knowledge of the relative positions of sources and receivers in the room. The method can be used with only a single RIR between one source and one receiver. For simulated environments, the proposed estimation method can achieve an average of 0.04 m accuracy for each dimension in room geometry estimation and 0.09 accuracy in reflection coefficients. For real-world environments, the room geometry estimation method achieves an accuracy of an average of 0.065 m for each dimension.Accepted author manuscriptSignal Processing System
W.B. Yeats on 'Asia' (and 'Ireland') : an ideogrammic approach
Full text linkSi bien para algunas personas la asociación entre W.B. Yeats y Asia implica referencias a Bizancio, otros sugieren que esta asociación apunta hacia la India. Y aún hay otros que se refieren a Japón y China. Yeats hizo referencias explícitas e implícitas a Asia en su obra. Muchos expertos ponen en entredicho que Yeats entendiera "correctamente" las referencias culturales a Asia que tanto le influenciaron y argumentan que el autor seleccionaba aquellas referencias que más se adecuaban a sus propios objetivos. Sin embargo, para otros esto carece de relevancia puesto que, de todas maneras, Yeats usaba cualquiera referencia de manera idiosincrática. La obra de Yeats es abundante y diversa y su "Asia" impregna buena parte de su producción. Siguiendo el ejemplo de Ernest Fenollosa, Ezra Pound propuso "el método ideográmico (el estudio y la yuxtaposición de especímenes particulares - por ejemplo obras particulares, pasajes de literatura, etc.) en tanto que herramienta para la adquisición y la transmisión del conocimiento". Este artículo tiene como objetivo recopilar las referencias a Asia en las cartas y publicaciones de Yeats a lo largo de su vida para proporcionar material acumulativo que permita entender del significado de Asia para Yeats.For some people the association of W.B. Yeats with Asia will suggest references to Byzantium, for others it will suggest India, and others still will think of Japan and China. Yeats made both explicit and implicit references to Asia. Many experts doubt that Yeats really or "correctly" understood the Asian cultural references that he found inspiring for his work and that he cherry-picked for his own purposes. Others doubt that it really mattered, since he turned everything he touched to his own idiosyncratic use anyway. Yeats' work is abundant and varied and Yeats's "Asia" pervades much of it. Ezra Pound, following the lead of Ernest Fenollosa, proposed "the ideogrammic method (the examination and juxtaposition of particular specimens-e.g. particular works, passages of literature) as an implement for acquisition and transmission of knowledge". This study collates Yeats' references to Asia from letters and publications throughout his life in order to provide an accumulated base for what Asia meant for Yeats
