The classical Clapper-Yule model and its improved models will both introduced the extended application which supports rough printing and halftone color fluorescent imaging. The characteristics of the new model were analyzed and the prospect of the Clapper-Yule mode was discussed. We proposed a new model, which was an enhancement of the classical Clapper-Yule model, which simulate optical dot gain of halftone prints by taking into account lateral scattering within the paper bulk and multiple internal reflections. The model we propose also takes into account the reflectance of inks at surface of the specific colors at specific rates. The model opens the way towards color separation of images to be reproduced. Several designs printed on an offset press demonstrate their applicability and their benefits.

Coronavirus Infections

Background: Recently, a new coronavirus has been rapidly spreading from Wuhan, China. Forecasting the number of infections scientifically and effectively is of great significance to the allocation of medical resources and the improvement of rescue efficiency. Methods: The number of new coronavirus infections was characterized by “small data, poor information” in the short term. The grey prediction model provides an effective method to study the prediction problem of “small data, poor information”. Based on the order optimization of NHGM(1,1,k), this paper uses particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize the background value, and obtains a new improved grey prediction model called GM(1,1|r,c,u). Results: Through MATLAB simulation, the comprehensive percentage error of GM(1,1|r,c,u), NHGM(1,1,k), UGM(1,1), DGM(1,1) are 2.4440%, 11.7372%, 11.6882% and 59.9265% respectively, so the new model has the best prediction performance. The new coronavirus infections was predicted by the new model. Conclusion: The number of new coronavirus infections in China increased continuously in the next two weeks, and the final infections was nearly 100 thousand. Based on the prediction results, this paper puts for-ward specific suggestions.

Oscillation Characteristic

Grey prediction model has good performance in solving small data problem, and has been widely used in various research fields. However, when the data show oscillation characteristic, the effect of grey prediction model performs poor. To this end, a new method was proposed to solve the problem of modelling small data oscillation sequence with grey prediction model. Based on the idea of information decomposition, the new method employed grey prediction model to capture the trend characteristic of complex system, and ARMA model was applied to describe the random oscillation characteristic of the system. Crops disaster area in China was selected as a case study and the relevant historical eight-year data published by government department were substituted to the proposed model. The modelling results of the new model were compared with those of other traditional mainstream prediction models. The results showed that the new model had evidently superior performance. It indicated that the proposed model will contribute to solve small oscillation problems and have positive significance for improving the applicability of grey prediction model.

Several proteins other than the frizzled receptors (Fzd) and the secreted Frizzled-related proteins (sFRP) contain Fzd-type cysteine-rich domains (CRD). We have termed these domains “putative Fzd-type CRDs”, as the relevance of Wnt signalling in the majority of these is unknown; the RORs, an exception to this, are well known for mediating non-canonical Wnt signalling. In this study, we have predicted the likely binding affinity of all Wnts for all putative Fzd-type CRDs. We applied both our previously determined Wnt‒Fzd CRD binding affinity prediction model, as well as a newly devised model wherein the lipid term was forced to contribute favourably to the predicted binding energy. The results obtained from our new model indicate that certain putative Fzd CRDs are much more likely to bind Wnts, in some cases exhibiting selectivity for specific Wnts. The results of this study inform the investigation of Wnt signalling modulation beyond Fzds and sFRPs.

Titre : « L’ontologie amazonienne : animisme ou non-essentialisme ? »Résumé : Comment les populations indigènes d’Amazonie se représentent-elles les êtres du monde ? En d’autres termes, quelle est leur ontologie ? La plus récente réponse à cette question passe par la réhabilitation d’un concept ancien : l’animisme. Ce modèle de la pensée amazonienne s’est imposé dans les deux dernières décennies, et il occupe aujourd’hui une position hégémonique. Je soutiens ici que le modèle animiste de la pensée amazonienne pose de nombreux problèmes : il rend mal compte des données ethnographiques et échoue à identifier le propre de la pensée amazonienne. Si l’ontologie amazonienne n’est pas animiste, qu’est-elle alors ? Je propose un nouveau modèle selon lequel l’ontologie amazonienne est fondamentalement non essentialiste. Deux types de preuves viennent corroborer cette proposition : je propose d’abord une brève revue de la littérature ethnographique amazoniste, puis présente des données expérimentales que j’ai récemment collectées chez les Huni Kuin du Haut-Purus (Amazonie péruvienne). Je conclus en posant quelques-uns des jalons d’une vaste entreprise de comparaison des ontologies à travers le monde.Mots-clés : Amazonie, animisme, essentialisme psychologique, ethnobiologie, ethnosociologie, Huni Kuin, ontologie, perspectivisme.Title: « Amazonian ontology: animism or non-essentialism? »Abstract: How do indigenous Amazonian people conceive of the beings of the world? In other words, what is their ontology? The most recent response to this question consists in revamping an old concept: animism. Within the last two decades, this model of Amazonian thought has become increasingly influential. I contend that the animistic model of Amazonian thought is problematic in many respects: it does not do justice to ethnographic data and fails to pinpoint the uniqueness of Amazonian thought. If the Amazonian ontology cannot be characterized as animistic, what is it then? I put forth a new model according to which the Amazonian ontology is fundamentally non essentialist. Two strands of evidence corroborate this claim: first, I briefly review some of the Amazonianist ethnographic literature, and next present experimental data I recently collected among the Huni Kuin of the Upper Purus River (Peruvian Amazon). In conclusion, I pave the way for a broader endeavor of comparison of ontologies across the world.Keywords: Amazonia, animism, folkbiology, folksociology, Huni Kuin, ontology, perspectivism, psychological essentialism.

There is much written on research methodologies and the merits of each within academic texts.  Researchers provide written accounts of their methodologies, their results locating these in literature previously reviewed.  New ideas, models and frameworks of knowing develop from the discussion of the findings than contribute greatly to knowledge within a given discipline.  What is seldom captured is the actual process of engaging in research, the ups and downs of the journey, whose voices are captured and for what reason and the relational and ethical dilemmas along the way that need to be negotiated.  This article aims to give voice to my experiences of a research process with social care students as I attempted to develop a new model of relational reflexivity within their education and practice preparation.   I discuss some of my experiences as a practitioner researcher as they relate to the research aims, design and method of inquiry.  I offer my perspective as a way of challenging the clean-cut process often portrayed, where the researcher objectively and seamlessly goes through the various stages of the research process, before arriving at their conclusions in a tidy and comprehensive fashion
