Converting Binary Floating‐Point Numbers to Shortest Decimal Strings: An Experimental Review
Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background When sharing or logging numerical data, we must convert binary floating‐point numbers into their decimal string representations. For example, the number π might become 3.1415927. Engineers have perfected many algorithms for producing such accurate, short strings.

Flap Anatomies and Victorian Veils: Penetrating the Female Reproductive Interior
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines the reappearance in the early nineteenth century of anatomical flapbooks in the context of obstetrical education in Britain, America and France. It asks why liftable paper flaps were reintroduced at this time after their disappearance from medical atlases in the eighteenth century.

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this article I dissect the spatial strategies through which the Spanish attempted to orchestrate both racial difference and similarity in the African colonies of Morocco, Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea during the first half of the twentieth century.

AUGURAL TERRITORIES: On the Prophetic Organizing of the Mid‐range
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this article I introduce the concept of augural territories to theorize the urbanism that emerged during pandemic lockdowns. I draw on ethnographic research in Madrid to examine how community‐based responses—including mutual aid networks, food pantries and neighbourhood associations—disrupted the spatial and temporal logics of territorial ...

The Serializability of Network Codes [PDF]
, 2010 Network coding theory studies the transmission of information in networks whose vertices may perform nontrivial encoding and decoding operations on data as it passes through the network. The main approach to deciding the feasibility of network coding problems aims to reduce the problem to optimization over a polytope of entropic vectors subject to ...

“Queens of Ghost‐Land” 134 Years Later: Un‐Masking an Appalachian Witchcraft Accuser
The Journal of American Culture, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In 1891, newspapers across America printed a story about witches in the Appalachian Mountains and the alleged powers they possessed to control their small farming community. The article was scathing in accusation and ultimately contributed to continued othering of the women profiled, increasing their visible vulnerabilities of class, gender ...

A formal characterization of epsilon serializability
IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, 1995 Epsilon Serializability (ESR) is a generalization of classic serializability (SR). ESR allows some limited amount of inconsistency in transaction processing (TP), through an interface called epsilon-transactions (ETs). For example, some query ETs may view inconsistent data due to non-SR interleaving with concurrent updates.

Electron microscopy‐based three‐dimensional subcellular imaging of plant male gametophyte
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.The Aquilos2 Cryo‐FIB workflows provide practical routes for cryo‐electron tomography and volume imaging in plant structural biology. ABSTRACT Understanding cellular events in three dimensions (3D) is of great importance for the annotation and illustration of biological processes in a contextual way. Imaging techniques based on electron microscopy (EM),

Racialized Labour in the Colonial Food Regime: The Whitening of England's Farmworkers
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The crystallization of a colonial food regime in the 1870s centred around Britain is key to historical accounts of agrarian political economy. Yet such accounts have neglected the role of the agrarian proletariat in shaping this regime from below and its basis in racialized hierarchy.
