Monotonic weighted power transformations to additivity

A class of monotonic transformations which generalize the power transformation is fit to the independent and dependent variables in multiple regression so that the resulting additive relationship is optimized. This is achieved by minimizing a quadratic fitting criterion with linear inequality constraints on the parameters. A quadratic programming technique which works reliably and quickly in this application is outlined. Some examples of the analysis of artificial and real data are offered.This work was supported by National Research Council of Canada Grant APA 320 to the author.

Basculer vers un travail médiatisé distant : quand la reconnaissance du/au travail devient une activité à part entière

In this article, we examine the conditions of acceptance of new work organisations (remote mediated work) from their impact on the recognition of work. Based on a case study in a higher education institution, we propose to characterise the consequences of these transformations on professional practices and on new modes of recognition. The methods used attempt to account for these transformations by relying on the extended periods of telework in the year 2020. We identify four recognition processes which lead us to characterise the beginnings of a “recognition activity”, which acts as a meta-labour in that it embodies: a work on work.     

A criterion for determining the optimum value of twist in the topological model

In previous works, in which the topological model has been applied to martensitic phase transformations, the value of twist angle ω was determined based on the habit plane-(HP) matching method, where the physical realization of the so-predicted interfacial defect networks may require reorientations of defect line directions by short-range diffusion, though no long-range diffusion was needed. In the present work, a novel criterion for determining the optimum value of twist is proposed so that the predicted interface defects are not only able to fulfil the function of fully accommodating the coherency strains arising on the terrace plane, but also capable of reaching the required position at the HP without long- or short-range diffusions. A numerical analysis for an Fe–20Ni–5Mn alloy is demonstrated based on the newly proposed criterion, and the predictions so obtained are in good agreement with the results provided by the phenomenological theory and experimental measurements.     

Shape deformation by moving a glissile interface with one set of misfit dislocations

Transformation and misfit dislocations are used to describe the motion of glissile interfaces with one set of misfit dislocations in the framework of the Frank?Bilby equation. The sweep of these glissile interfaces brings about an invariant-plane-strain type shape deformation. Our approach explains the glissile motion of martensitic interfaces and small-angle symmetrical tilt grain boundaries. It is consistent with the phenomenological theory of martensite crystallography but more flexible.     

The Role of Psychoanalysis in the Conflict of Interpretations

This paper describes how the temporary illness of the analyst affects the analytic work when it breaks the habitual analytic setting and exposes the analyst to countertransference reactions. The illness stimulates different meanings and reactions in the analysand. The paper describes how the fostering of the habitual analytic work helps the analysand to make use of the event, i.e., to integrate it into the transference. In the light of the patient cases, it would seem that corporeality is the key: the crucial question is what it means not only to the analyst him/herself but also to the analysand, that the analyst's body remains unchanged, secure, living and stable and does not require any particular attention.     

Importance of crack-propagation-induced ε-martensite in strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue of high-Mn austenitic steel

We investigated the roles of deformation-induced ε-martensitic transformation on strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue (LCF) through crack-propagation analysis involving a notching technique that used a focused ion beam (FIB) setup on Fe–30Mn–4Si–2Al austenitic steel. Using the FIB notch, we separated the microstructure evolution into macroscopic cyclic deformation-induced and crack-propagation-induced microstructures. Following this, we clarified the fatigue crack-propagation-induced ε-martensitic transformation to decelerate crack propagation at a total strain range of 2%, obtaining an extraordinary LCF life of 1.1 × 10⁴ cycles.     

Bion and Tustin: The autistic phenomena

This article examines   the implications of the proposal of autistic transformations within the general context of Bion's theory of Transformations. The aim is to confirm the coherence of this proposal of autistic transformations within the overall structure of Bion's theory of Transformations. She examines the relation between emotional links and their negatives, particularly –K. She questions in which of the dimensions of the mind the autistic phenomena are located, the relation between autistic phenomena and beta elements, and where to place them in the Grid. The author tries to form metapsychological support for the incorporation of the autistic area in Bion's theory of Transformations. She argues that, despite the incongruence and imprecision of this incorporation, such autistic phenomena cannot be excluded from the complexus of the human mind and should therefore be accounted for in Bion's t ransformations . She discusses the idea that the theory of transformations includes the field of the neurosis and psychosis and deals with emotions, whereas the autistic area is dominated by sensations. The author asks how to add the autistic area to Bion's theory. Clinical material of a child for whom the non‐psychotic part of the personality predominates and who presents autistic nuclei provides material for the discussion.     

哲学视域中战国楚竹书《周易》的文献价值

上海博物馆所藏楚竹书<周易>见证了数字式爻题的早已存在,与其他传本的<周易>爻题一样,充分蕴示了卦所潜涵的繁复无尽的变动不居之流变情状及卦与卦间所潜涵的同样繁复无尽的流变互通情状,由此而充分符示了宇宙人生中两大类势力互动格局繁复无尽的变动不居之流变图景与诸格局间同样繁复无尽的流变互通图景.楚竹书<周易>的卦爻画已是完全符号化了的卦爻画,但符号化的卦爻画于西周时期<周易>古经成书时当已存在,这种卦爻画乃是易学成为具有自身特有话语系统的高度哲学性的天人之学的根基.残存的楚竹书<周易>卦名后与上爻之辞终了后的奇特符号标识,昭示了卦与物事的极而必反、覆而相通之理,但尚难解读出经文分篇方面的信息.
