THE translation of the eighth German edition of Freud's magnum opus is in many ways an improvement on the first. There are many small alterations in the actual translation, but the general plan of the work is unaltered. The difference between this edition and previous editions is small. In the bibliography there are very few references of post-War date; so much has been written in the post-War period that we think this might well have been brought right up to date.The Interpretation of Dreams.By Prof. Sigmund Freud. Authorised translation by Dr. A. A. Brill. Completely revised edition. Pp. 600. (London: George Allen and Unwin, Ltd., 1932.) 18s. net.

Distribution networks will experience more installations of distributed generation (DG) that is unpredictable and stochastic in nature. Greater distributed control and intelligence will allow challenges such as voltage control to be handled effectively. The partitioning of power networks into smaller clusters provides a method to split the control problem into manageable sub-problems. This paper presents a community detection-based partitioning technique for distribution networks considering local DGs, allowing them to be grouped and controlled in a distributed manner by using local signals and measurements. This method also allows each community to control the voltage using only neighboring DGs, and for each community to self-organize to reflect varying DG conditions and to maintain stable control. Simulations demonstrate that the partitioning of the large distribution network is effective, and each community is able to self-organize and to regulate the voltage independently using only its local DGs.

We introduce a new class of ultrafilters which generalizes the well-known class of simple $P$-point ultrafilters. We prove that for any well-founded $σ$-directed partial order $\mathbb{D}$ there is a mild forcing extension where there is an ultrafilter $U$ on $ω$ with a base $\mathcal{B}$ such that $(\mathcal{B},\supseteq^*)\cong \mathbb{D}$. On a measurable cardinal we prove a similar result: relative to a supercompact cardinal, it is consistent that $κ$ is supercompact, and for a $κ^+$-directed well-founded poset $\mathbb{D}$, there is a ${<}κ$-directed closed $κ^+$-cc forcing extension where there is a \emph{normal} ultrafilter $U$ on $κ$ with a base $\mathcal{B}$ such that $(\mathcal{B},\supseteq^*)\cong \mathbb{D}$. These are optimal results in the class of $P$-points and realize every potential structure of a $P$-point. We apply our constructions to obtain ultrafilters with controlled Tukey-type, in particular, an ultrafilter with non-convex Tukey and depth spectra is presented, answering questions from \cite{Benhamou_2024}. Our construction also provides new models where $\mathfrak{u}_κ<2^κ$, answering questions from \cite{Benhamou_Goldberg2025}.

Generation planning approaches face challenges in managing the incompatible mathematical structures between stochastic production simulations for reliability assessment and optimization models for generation planning, which hinders the integration of reliability constraints. This study proposes an approach to embedding reliability verification constraints into generation expansion planning by leveraging a weighted oblique decision tree (WODT) technique. For each planning year, a generation mix dataset, labeled with reliability assessment simulations, is generated. An WODT model is trained using this dataset. Reliability-feasible regions are extracted via depth-first search technique and formulated as disjunctive constraints. These constraints are then transformed into mixed-integer linear form using a convex hull modeling technique and embedded into a unit commitment-integrated generation expansion planning model. The proposed approach is validated through a long-term generation planning case study for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region, demonstrating its effectiveness in achieving reliable and optimal planning solutions.

We introduce a queueing-based sampling framework for continuous-time temporal networks. We focus on a Markovian parametrization in which link start times follow a homogeneous Poisson process and link durations are exponentially distributed. We derive stochastic properties of the resulting link streams and exploit them to generate synthetic temporal networks with controllable smoothness and prescribed event patterns, relevant for the validation and interpretation of methods for community, scale, change-point, and periodicity detection. By coupling this temporal mechanism with block-structured endpoint distributions, we obtain a continuous-time analogue of stochastic block models. We also discuss extensions of the framework, including discrete-time and instantaneous-contact limits.

A century ago, Walter Benjamin defined the mode of production of scholarly books as “an outdated mediation between two different filing systems”—the card index of the researcher who wrote it and that of the scholar studying it. The discursive mediation of the codex, in his opinion, no longer created any significant value, “for everything that matters” can be found in the author’s research archive. I explore the implications of this statement through the practices of the fragment in modernity, among which the research archives and notebooks of Benjamin, Giacomo Leopardi, Paul Valéry, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Joseph Joubert, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Friedrich Schlegel, and Novalis, and suggest that the hermeneutic project of the fragment genre could constructively inform recent initiatives towards processual, slow, and reproducible scholarship, as well as the design of digital editing and authoring workspaces. I juxtapose the compositional processes and editorial challenges of the selected fragment collections and explore their exigency for a digital publication platform that would empower their ethical epistemology, activate their relational networks, articulate their processual form, and support their aspiration towards collaborative knowledge-making. I propose that the design of such digital workspace should not only afford access to the contents of these intellectual projects but also enable the performative engagement with their methodology. The dialectical reception between the epistemic practices of the fragment genre and the theoretical visions for the future of the academic book holds promise for engendering multimodal, process-oriented, performative, and collaborative scholarly discourse.

La coloración del grano de maíz se debe a la presencia de diversos compuestos fenólicos (CF), los cuales contribuyen a la tolerancia de las infecciones por hongos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la capacidad antifúngica in vitro de extractos de maíz de líneas segregantes de color, de la cruza B49xPeruano(N), sobre el desarrollo de Fusarium verticillioides. Las mazorcas se clasificaron por color de grano utilizando un colorímetro. De los granos clasificados se obtuvo el espesor del pericarpio y los extractos fenólicos de cada línea. El ensayo de inhibición se hizo por la técnica de dilución en placa y de cada extracto se cuantificó la concentración de fenoles solubles totales (FST), flavonoides (Flav), y proantocianidinas (PAs). Se obtuvieron siete segregantes de color, de los cuales los extractos de los segregantes C2 y C3 presentaron un efecto fungistático significativamente mayor que el resto. El grano C1 presentó un mayor espesor de pericarpio, y su extracto tuvo una mayor concentración de FST, FLAV y PAs. Se encontró una correlacion significativa entre las variables de concentración de CF y la inhibición de F. verticillioides. Una mayor concentración de compuestos fenólicos y una mayor inhibición del crecimiento del hongo se observó con maíces rojos en comparación con maíces blancos y amarillos. Estos resultados comprueban el efecto fungistático de los compuestos fenólicos del maíz sobre este fitopatógeno. DOI: https://doi.org/10.54167/tch.v19i1.1754

Numerical difference computation is one of the cores and indispensable in the modern digital era. Tao general difference (TGD) is a novel theory and approach to difference computation for discrete sequences and arrays in multidimensional space. Built on the solid theoretical foundation of the general difference in a finite interval, the TGD operators demonstrate exceptional signal processing capabilities in real-world applications. A novel smoothness property of a sequence is defined on the first- and second TGD. This property is used to denoise one-dimensional signals, where the noise is the non-smooth points in the sequence. Meanwhile, the center of the gradient in a finite interval can be accurately location via TGD calculation. This solves a traditional challenge in computer vision, which is the precise localization of image edges with noise robustness. Furthermore, the power of TGD operators extends to spatio-temporal edge detection in three-dimensional arrays, enabling the identification of kinetic edges in video data. These diverse applications highlight the properties of TGD in discrete domain and the significant promise of TGD for the computation across signal processing, image analysis, and video analytic.

Diabetes, a metabolic disorder, poses significant annual risks due to various factors, requiring effective management strategies to prevent life-threatening complications. Classified into Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational diabetes, its impact spans diverse demographics, with Type 2 diabetes being particularly concerning due to cellular insulin deficiencies. Early prediction is crucial for intervention and complication prevention. While machine learning and artificial intelligence show promise in predictive modeling for diabetes, challenges in interpreting models hinder widespread adoption among physicians and patients. The complexity of these models often raises doubts about their reliability and practical utility in clinical settings. Addressing interpretability challenges is crucial to fully harnessing predictive analytics in diabetes management, leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare burdens. Previous research has utilized various algorithms like Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machines (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and decision trees for patient classification. In this study using the Pima dataset, we applied a preprocessing technique that utilized the most important features identified by the Random Forest algorithm and we used an ensemble method combining the SVM algorithm and Naïve Bayes for the model. In the first section of the proposed method, we provided explanations regarding the dataset. In the second section, we elucidated all preprocessing steps applied to this dataset, and in the third section, we evaluated the model using the selected algorithm under investigation. The proposed model, after going through the various stages, was able to report an accuracy of 81.82%, a precision of 82.34%, an AUC of 88.19% and a Recall of 70.68%. Considering the review of similar studies, an improvement of 3.99% in accuracy demonstrates a significant advancement that highlights the benefits of traditional methods in disease prediction. These findings suggest the potential use of web-based applications to encourage both physicians and patients in diabetes prediction efforts.

The anticipated integration of 6G technology within the telecommunications sector is poised to significantly enhance communication capabilities in the forthcoming years. The proliferation of 6G within Etisalat's infrastructure is expected to concurrently drive the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT), facilitating its operation across a diverse array of mobile and stationary devices. Within the IoT domain, particularly under the 6G framework, certain applications necessitate real-time operation and thus warrant prioritization over others in terms of communication and data transmission. The strategic clustering of users, based on assigned weight factors, can bolster the prioritization process, thereby optimizing the efficiency of real-time applications. This paper delineates methodologies for expediting user connectivity—termed 'real-time'—and delineates them from non-time-critical applications. The implementation of Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) is proposed as a viable strategy for clustering IoT devices, thereby managing the increased volume of smaller, more granular data packets characteristic of 6G networks. Utilizing DBSCAN clustering facilitates the preemptive identification of potential user congestion and traffic, enabling the deployment of the outlined strategies to mitigate service degradation and maintain data transfer rates. This research explores the formulation of a prioritized scheduling system for requests, wherein, as per the DBSCAN algorithm, real-time applications are accorded elevated execution precedence.

Os ativos intangíveis são a pedra angular da economia da informação e do conhecimento, sendo sua mensuração o desafio do campo de pesquisa denominado Capital Intelectual. A manifesta potencialidade de geração de valor do Capital Intelectual é largamente debatida entre investidores, executivos corporativos, profissionais, autoridades governamentais e acadêmicos. Mediante a variação de modelos, definições e elementos que conformam esse campo científico, ainda não foi possível atingir uma estrutura basilar que relacione os propósitos para a mensuração do Capital Intelectual nas organizações. Neste sentido, esta pesquisa objetiva identificar os propósitos para a mensuração do Capital Intelectual nas organizações. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória descritiva, que faz uso da técnica de Análise de Conteúdo para apreender esses fatores por meio de uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura. Por resultado, a identificação dos propósitos se apresenta como fator determinante para propor métodos mais eficazes para a avaliação do Capital Intelectual nas empresas. Conclui-se que abordar estes fatores tende a promover avanços imperativos rumo ao delineamento do planejamento e execução da estratégia, o exercício da tomada de decisões organizacionais diárias, a produção de valor organizacional e vantagem competitiva e a garantia de informações não financeiras consistentes. A ampliação da pesquisa em outras bases, a obtenção da percepção de especialistas quanto a outros fatores, bem como o desenvolvimento de modelos orientados a esses fatores são sugestões de pesquisas futuras.

A biblioteca universitária é um dos espaços em que as políticas educacionais inclusivas se materializam, as quais asseguram a educação como um direito. Desse modo, exige-se do bibliotecário uma postura proativa no tocante a acolher usuários na condição de deficiência com paridade e equidade e, assim, fornecer subsídio para a legitimação dessas políticas no âmbito da biblioteca. Diante deste cenário, o objetivo da pesquisa consiste em realizar um levantamento de quais bibliotecas universitárias federais da região do Nordeste apresentam serviços destinados às pessoas com deficiências, especialmente no tocante a oferta de acervo acessível e de tecnologia assistiva. A pesquisa, qualitativa e quantitativa, de caráter descritivo, teve como fundamento o método de abordagem dialético-materialista. Os dados foram coletados nos sites das instituições; referente aos procedimentos adotou-se a análise de conteúdo. Ao realizar tal investigação, identificou-se que do total das vinte bibliotecas das universidades federais da região Nordeste, apenas oito apresentam nos sites serviços destinados às pessoas com deficiência. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram que a inclusão nas bibliotecas universitárias federais do Nordeste ainda se apresenta em estágio inicial na maioria das bibliotecas.

In [arXiv:1902.04063] we generalize the original definition of weighted surface algebras in [arXiv:1703.02346] by allowing the possibility that arrows might not be part of the Gabriel quiver, which gives a much larger class of algebras. This means that the zero relations need modification, to make sure that the algebras are symmetric, and of the appropriate dimension. We found recently that we had missed one necessary modification for the zero relations. Here we give the correct definition, and revise the parts of [arXiv:1902.04063] which are affected by this modification.

I løpet av de siste årene har både fakulteter og universitetsbibliotek i Norge begynt å tilby tverrfaglige kurs for ph.d.-kandidater, og nye nettbaserte ressurser gir informasjon om diverse arbeidsverktøy og metodikk som er relevant i forskerutdanningen. Parallelt med dette har den tradisjonelle bibliotekundervisningen forandret seg: Gjennom å åpne bibliotekkurs for nye emner som akademisk skriving, akademisk redelighet og datahåndtering, blir begrepet «informasjonskompetanse» utvidet og nye undervisningsformer utprøvd. I tillegg er målgruppen for ph.d.-kurs på bibliotekene svært heterogen: Det finnes store forskjeller angående metoder og arbeidsmåter mellom fakulteter, fag, fagdisipliner og prosjekter, og prosjektenes faglige spesialisering og tverrfaglighet øker behovet for skreddersydde svar. Både de nye læringsområdene og behovet for individuell veiledning utfordrer tradisjonelle konsepter for bibliotekundervisning, som gjerne har vært generaliserende og instruksjonsbasert. Utfordringen med målgruppens faglige heterogenitet besvares med ph.d.-kurs i «overførbare ferdigheter» («transferable» eller «generic skills») og forsøk på å finne fagovergripende standarder for nøkkelkompetanser som søk, litteraturkartlegging eller skriving av akademiske tekster. De nye temaene i bibliotekenes ph.d.-undervisning som skriveprosess, arbeidsflyt og etiske problemstillinger kan ikke ivaretas gjennom instruksjonsbaserte læringsformer. Men også kurstilbudene i overførbare ferdigheter møter utfordringer: Overføring av kunnskap og konkretisering av generaliserte arbeidsteknikker krever rom for praktisk arbeid med individuelle prosjekter i bibliotekundervisningen. Foredraget viste forskjellige eksempler for studentaktive læringsformer gjennom digitalt støttet undervisningsmetodikk. Ved hjelp av nettressursen www.phdontrack.net kan ph.d.-kandidatene selvstendig tilegne seg generalisert informasjon, mens ph.d.-undervisningen kan fokusere på praktisk arbeid med de individuelle forskningsprosjektene.
