Abstract Inequality is the pervasive structural characteristic of academic knowledge production. To dismantle this inequality, the challenge raised by prefigurative politics which is based on an ethos of congruence between means and ends must be taken up by the International Journal of the Sociology of Language. The IJSL’s peer review process, its academic conventions and its access model can potentially be spaces for concrete practices that prefigure parity in academic knowledge production.

In the framework of block Compressed Sensing (CS), the reconstruction algorithm based on the Smoothed Projected Landweber (SPL) iteration can achieve the better rate-distortion performance with a low computational complexity, especially for using the Principle Components Analysis (PCA) to perform the adaptive hard-thresholding shrinkage. However, during learning the PCA matrix, it affects the reconstruction performance of Landweber iteration to neglect the stationary local structural characteristic of image. To solve the above problem, this paper firstly uses the Granular Computing (GrC) to decompose an image into several granules depending on the structural features of patches. Then, we perform the PCA to learn the sparse representation basis corresponding to each granule. Finally, the hard-thresholding shrinkage is employed to remove the noises in patches. The patches in granule have the stationary local structural characteristic, so that our method can effectively improve the performance of hard-thresholding shrinkage. Experimental results indicate that the reconstructed image by the proposed algorithm has better objective quality when compared with several traditional ones. The edge and texture details in the reconstructed image are better preserved, which guarantees the better visual quality. Besides, our method has still a low computational complexity of reconstruction.

As for the phenomenon of the bottom thermal inward convex distortion of the Composite Bottom Pan (CBP) on the condition of heating, the mechanism of the bottom distortion was researched on the basis of ANSYS 10.0 considering the structural characteristic and the heating conditions of the composite bottom pan. The results showed that the thicker the bottom of the composite bottom pan, the smaller its thermal deformation amount. The thicker the junction of the pot and wall was, the smaller its deformation. And it was helpful for reduction of deformation to use a big rounded transition. The increase of rings number of magnetic conductive sheet would lead to a less bottom thermal inward convex distortion of the CBP. The larger the area of the additional stainless steel sheet (or ring), the smaller the deformation amount. Consequently, the research laid a solid theoretical foundation for the design and optimization of the structure of composite bottom pan.

Seismic absorption compensation is an important processing approach to mitigate the attenuation effects caused by the intrinsic inelasticity of subsurface media and to enhance seismic resolution. However, conventional absorption compensation approaches ignore the spatial connection along seismic traces, which makes the compensation result vulnerable to high-frequency noise amplification, thus reducing the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of the result. To alleviate this issue, we have developed a structurally constrained multichannel absorption compensation (SC-MAC) algorithm. In the cost function of this algorithm, we exploit an [Formula: see text] norm to constrain the reflectivity series and an [Formula: see text] norm to regularize the reflection structural characteristic of the compensation data. The reflection structural characteristic operator, extracted from the observed stacked seismic data, is the core of the structural regularization term. We then solve the cost function of SC-MAC by the alternating direction method of multipliers. Benefiting from the introduction of reflection structure constraint, SC-MAC improves the stability of the compensation result and inhibits the amplification of high-frequency noise. Synthetic and field data examples demonstrate that our proposed method is more robust to random noise and can not only improve the resolution of seismic data, but also maintain the S/N of the compensation seismic data.
