As this book has shown the common conception that ‘Churchill’s “radical phase” was cast to the winds’ when he was put in charge of the Navy in October 1911, although well established in the literature, is not, in fact, accurate.1 The radical President of the Board of Trade, eager to improve the lives of the poor, became the radical Home Secretary, no less enthusiastic for social reform, who then became the radical First Lord of the Admiralty, imbued with both a desire and, perhaps more importantly, a will to intervene in order to better conditions for those who served in the Royal Navy. Accordingly, he embarked upon a major programme of improvement across a wide range of different areas all of which affected the everyday life of sailors. Alcohol intake, sexual behaviour, religious practice, corporal punishment, as well as pay and equality of progression, all came under the spotlight while Churchill was First Lord. Of course, not all of the new measures were successful and not all were progressive in the modern understanding of the term, but all of them represented significant attempts to push forward a radical agenda for change....

Aspect-based sentiment analysis has been studied in both research and industrial communities over recent years. For the low-resource languages, the standard benchmark corpora play an important role in the development of methods. In this article, we introduce two benchmark corpora with the largest sizes at sentence-level for two tasks: Aspect Category Detection and Aspect Polarity Classification in Vietnamese. Our corpora are annotated with high inter-annotator agreements for the restaurant and hotel domains. The release of our corpora would push forward the low-resource language processing community. In addition, we deploy and compare the effectiveness of supervised learning methods with a single and multi-task approach based on deep learning architectures. Experimental results on our corpora show that the multi-task approach based on BERT architecture outperforms the neural network architectures and the single approach. Our corpora and source code are published on this footnoted site. 1

The Fourier Transform

This article proposes a historical assessment of harmonic analysis of business cycles and its ability to both decompose and build cycles, as received at the Moscow Conjuncture Institute. It traces how the Fourier transform arrived at the Institute, mediated by Henry L. Moore, in the works and actions of Albert Vainshtein, Nikolai Chetverikov, and Nikolai Kondratiev, ultimately leading to Eugen Slutsky’s well-known 1927 article The Summation of Random Causes as the Source of Cyclic Processes. Although the evidence does not warrant the assumption that there was an orchestrated effort at the Institute to push forward a research agenda on harmonic analysis of business cycles, it certainly unfolded as more than the summation of random events and individual incursions. Moreover, the Institute as a whole could have produced much more on this matter if it had escaped Stalinist oppression for at least a few more years.

Purpose This paper aims to define and describe test methods and metrics to assess industrial robot system agility in both simulation and in reality. Design/methodology/approach The paper describes test methods and associated quantitative and qualitative metrics for assessing robot system efficiency and effectiveness, which can then be used for the assessment of system agility. Findings The paper describes how the test methods were implemented in a simulation environment and real-world environment. It also shows how the metrics are measured and assessed as they would be in a future competition. Practical implications The test methods described in this paper will push forward the state of the art in software agility for manufacturing robots, allowing small and medium manufacturers to better utilize robotic systems. Originality/value The paper fulfills the identified need for standard test methods to measure and allow for improvement in software agility for manufacturing robots.

The Impact

In order to research the impact of the structure parameters of mechanical grate on MSW(Municipal Solid Waste) movement characteristics such as transportation speed, average stop time and mixed rate of waste, a kind of mechanical grate cold experimental device has been designed. This device can realize the switch between push forward and backward. Many structure parameters can be adjusted such as the height of grate, move distance of grate, bed angle, and move speed of the grate. Based on Mechanical grate cold experimental device, to study the impact of the mechanical grate structure parameters on the characteristics of waste movement is conducive to applying the results of test to the actual MSW grate incinerator. It provides a strong basis for the improvement and optimization of the mechanical grate furnace in terms of characteristics of Chinese MSW.

Synthesis of palaeomagnetic datasets suggests that the geomagnetic field was persistently non-uniformitarian in the Devonian

Geomagnetic Polarity Time Scale

<p>The Devonian has long been a problematic era for paleomagnetism. Devonian data are generally difficult to interpret and have complex partial or full overprints. These problems arise from paleomagnetic data obtained from both sedimentary and igneous rocks. As a result, the reconstruction of motions of tectonic plates is often troubling, as these rely on apparent polar wander paths constructed from Devonian paleomagnetic poles. Also the geomagnetic polarity time scale for this time period is poorly constrained. Paleointensity studies suggest that the field was much weaker than the field of today, and it has been hypothesised that this was accompanied by many polarity reversals (a hyperreversing field). We review studies on Devonian paleopoles, magnetostratigraphy and paleointensity. We tentatively suggest that the field during the Devonian might have been so weak and perhaps of a non-dipolar configuration, that obtaining reliable paleomagnetic data from Devonian rocks is extremely difficult.  In order to push forward the understanding of the Devonian field, we emphasise the need for studies to provide fully accessible data down to specimen level demagnetisation diagrams. Incorporating all data, no matter how complex or bad they might seem, is the only way to advance the understanding of the Devonian magnetic field. Recent paleointensity studies appear to suggest that the Devonian and Ediacaran were both extreme weak field intervals. For the Ediacaran, it has been hypothesised that the field had an impact on life on earth. A fundamentally weak and perhaps non-dipolar field during the Devonian might have had an influence on evolution and extinctions. As there is a large number of biological crises in the Devonian, we here pose the question whether the Earth’s magnetic field was a contributing factor to these crises. New independent evidence from the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary suggests that the Hangenberg event was caused by increased UV-B radiation, which is in line with a weak magnetic field.</p>

Put together, my remarks constitute an unsubtle attempt at rendering explicit the elegant implicit comparisons between the Great Depression and today’s “Great recession” that make Alan Brinkley’s article an insightful delight for the reader. At the end of his paper, Brinkley points out to some similarities between the two crises. In the brief following comment, I will push forward his conclusion but on a somewhat different path: in my view, if the consequences of the Great Depression and the “Great Recession” have so far been quite different, their causes appear to be in many respects alike, or at least parallel.
