This paper explores the nature of core-oblique distinctions in some Austronesian languages of Indonesia, focusing on the intermediate status between core and oblique categories. It proposes a core index, a novel method to determine the core status of an argument. Core index evidence shows that there is a cline running from syntactically core to non-core (oblique), and that the degree of coreness in Indonesian and Balinese shows striking parallelism. The proposed core-index-based analysis allows us to claim syntactic transitivity with confidence and to resolve successfully the controversial transitivity problem of the Indonesian bare verb construction. The analysis advances our understanding of the nature of semi-core arguments, syntactic transitivity, symmetricality of voice system, and alternative argument realisations, not only in Indonesian and Balinese, but also in other typologically different Austronesian languages of central and eastern Indonesia and beyond. Importantly, the core-index study also provides a means for cross-linguistic comparative analysis of the unusual alternative pattern of applicativisation whereby no core promotion is involved. The paper also discusses how the gradient nature of the core-oblique distinction, particularly semi-coreness of arguments, poses a challenge for any theory that posits discrete classes of relations.

In her work, the author examines the question of how democratic constitutional states can give themselves new constitutions. On the basis of a comparative analysis of constitutional practice, the author develops constitutional replacement as a sui generis institute of constitutional theory. The core of the question is in which constitutional cases and under which legal and theoretical conditions the replacement of the current constitution would be permissible. The author justifies constitutional replacement based on a democratic-legal understanding of the pouvoir constituant, the "constitution-replacing power". In this concept, the constituent sovereignty of the people becomes a right of the people to replace its constitution.

The object of the contrastive analysis in this article is the group of Lezgin, Russian and English phraseological (somatic) units with the component кьил/голова/head. The analysis aims at identifying the universal and specific issues in their contentits characteristic semantic fields, correlation of the general phraseological value with the core component, structural and grammatical features. In the process of the study we have used the method of comparative analysis of Lezgin, Russian and English phraseological units selected by us from foreign and domestic lexicographic sources. As the result of the analysis we have found that there was a similarity in structure, imagery and stylistic coloration of phraseological units. The peculiar characteristics of the studied languages in phraseological units were carried out. This work can serve as a material for further research in the field of phraseology whether the question of education plays an important role in the life of society.

Detection of outliers or anomalies is one of the vital issues in pattern-driven data mining. Outlier detection detects the inconsistent behavior of individual objects. It is an important sector in the data mining field with several different applications such as detecting credit card fraud, hacking discovery and discovering criminal activities. It is necessary to develop tools used to uncover the critical information established in the extensive data. This paper investigated a novel method for detecting cluster outliers in a multidimensional dataset, capable of identifying the clusters and outliers for datasets containing noise. The proposed method can detect the groups and outliers left by the clustering process, like instant irregular sets of clusters (C) and outliers (O), to boost the results. The results obtained after applying the algorithm to the dataset improved in terms of several parameters. For the comparative analysis, the accurate average value and the recall value parameters are computed. The accurate average value is 74.05% of the existing COID algorithm, and our proposed algorithm has 77.21%. The average recall value is 81.19% and 89.51% of the existing and proposed algorithm, which shows that the proposed work efficiency is better than the existing COID algorithm.

The remanence (residual flux) in the core of power transformers needs to be determined in advance to eliminate the inrush current during the process of re-energization. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to determine the residual flux based on the relationship between residual flux and the measured magnetizing inductance. The paper shows physical, numerical, and analytical explanations on the phenomenon that the magnetizing inductance decreases with the increase of residual flux under low excitation. Numerical simulations are performed by EMTP (Electro-Magnetic Transient Program) on a 1 kVA power transformer under different amounts of residual flux. The inductance–remanence curves are nearly the same when testing current changes. Laboratory experiments conducted on the same transformer are in line with the numerical simulations. Furthermore, numerical simulation results on a 240 MVA are reported to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we present a novel method of using the continuous rolling to fabricate three-dimensional sheet metal. The core bendable roller is composed of the flexible axis and the controllable equipment. The transversal shape of the sheet metal can be realized by regulating the controllable equipment to make the axis of bendable roller bent; the longitudinal shape is formed by driving the three bendable rollers rotated and the top roller making a displacement synchronously. Some experiments were performed and typical 3D surface parts were formed. Based on the results of the experiments, the effects of the thickness and the rolling times are discussed. The results of the research will be beneficial to define the parameters and perfect the theory of continuous multipoint forming of multiform 3D parts.

Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) was launched in the late 1980s by Charles Ragin, as a research approach bridging case-oriented and variable-oriented perspectives. It conceives cases as complex combinations of attributes (i.e. configurations), is designed to process multiple cases, and enables one to identify, through minimization algorithms, the core equifinal combinations of conditions leading to an outcome of interest. It systematizes the analysis in terms of necessity and sufficiency, models social reality in terms of set-theoretic relations, and provides powerful logical tools for complexity reduction. It initially came along with one technique, crisp-set QCA (csQCA), requiring dichotomized coding of data. As it has expanded, the QCA field has been enriched by new techniques such as multi-value QCA (mvQCA) and especially fuzzy-set QCA (fsQCA), both of which enable finer-grained calibration. It has also developed further with diverse extensions and more advanced designs, including mixed- and multimethod designs in which QCA is sequenced with focused case studies or with statistical analyses. QCA’s emphasis on causal complexity makes it very fit to address various types of objects and research questions touching upon political decision making—and indeed QCA has been applied in multiple related social scientific fields. While QCA can be exploited in different ways, it is most frequently used for theory evaluation purposes, with a streamlined protocol including a sequence of core operations and good practices. Several reliable software options are also available to implement the core of the QCA procedure. However, given QCA’s case-based foundation, much researcher input is still required at different stages. As it has further developed, QCA has been subject to fierce criticism, especially from a mainstream statistical perspective. This has stimulated further innovations and refinements, in particular in terms of parameters of fit and robustness tests which also correspond to the growth of QCA applications in larger-n designs. Altogether the field has diversified and broadened, and different users may exploit QCA in various ways, from smaller-n case-oriented uses to larger-n more analytic uses, and following different epistemological positions regarding causal claims. This broader field can therefore be labeled as that of both “Configurational Comparative Methods” (CCMs) and “Set-Theoretic Methods” (STMs).

A novel method to determine the junction temperature of GaN type blue light LED based on the spectral parameters is proposed. In this method, the relationships among LED junction temperature, centroid wavelength and FWHM are obtained in the lab, and then the junction temperature of operating LED of the same type can be derived from this relationship. A comparative analysis of the junction temperatures which are measured with the centroid wavelength-FWHM method and with the forward voltage method is performed. The standard deviation between these two methods is found to be about 2.3[Formula: see text]C. Therefore, the combination of centroid wavelength and FWHM can be used to determine the junction temperature of GaN-based blue LED.

Fe3O4-coated microsilica composites were synthesized by a novel method. The struction like precursor Fe3O4 nanoparticles as the shell and microsillica as the core for the composite has been prepared by chemical reduction method. The Fe3O4-coated microsilica composite presents a saturation magnetization value of 38.03 emu/g, which is sufficient to complete magnetic separation. The synthesized magnetic composites are characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results indicated that Fe3O4 nanoparticles successfully coated on microsilica.

A comparative analysis of housepit structures at the Keatley Creek site on the Canadian Plateau indicates that the ones on the periphery of the site cluster as a group, distinct from the domestic housepits in the core of the site. Comparison of the material attributes from a sample of peripheral structures with expectations of various nondomestic structures for the study region suggests that these structures were used as feasting or meeting-houses and not domestic residences. These peripheral structures originate during the Plateau horizon (2400–1200 B.P.) occupation of the site and were also used during the late Kamloops horizon (400–200 B.P.). It is argued here that understanding the history of these structures as loci of restricted ritual knowledge and training can contribute much to our interpretations of the bases and origins of social inequality in Keatley Creek, and other transegalitarian communities.
