Recuperation through Crisis Talk

Recuperation through Crisis - Talk : Apprehending the European Border Regime as a

The diagnosis of a migration crisis has prompted multiple processes of rebordering in Europe and beyond. These include the build-up of physical barriers like walls and fences, the tightening of asylum regimes, the expansion of biometric databases and the enrolment of authoritarian regimes in controlling Europe’s borders. These developments have prompted a revival of the image of the ‘fortress’ ...

Enhanced Dialogue Markup for Crisis Talk Scenario Resources

We present a method of enhancing dialogue markup by mapping HPSG-based discourse category information into XML. The application scenario is crisis talk, specifically cockpit voice recording (CVR) transcripts of aviation disasters. This approach is new both as a source of richly annotated spoken language corpus resources for a little known scenario, and in grammatical theory and language documen...

Self-Heat Recuperation: Theory and Applications

DNA Loci Cross-Talk through Thermodynamics

The recognition and pairing of specific DNA loci, though crucial for a plenty of important cellular processes, are produced by still mysterious physical mechanisms. We propose the first quantitative model from Statistical Mechanics, able to clarify the interaction allowing such "DNA cross-talk" events. Soluble molecules, which bind some DNA recognition sequences, produce an effective attraction...
