Literature and the Teaching of Stylistics： An Investigation Into the Pragmatics of Community Formation in the Educational Context of Namibia

The author＇s paper is an attempt to investigate the success of the pedagogy of stylistics and pedagogical stylistics in the Namibian context. As an applied linguistics course, stylistics is eminently suitable for study and analysis of literature, because it clearly explicates literary effects through linguistic analysis. Many scholars have illustrated the use of stylistics analysis for the purposes of studying literature and teaching it, which is, pedagogical stylistics. However, this paper combines both the study of Stylistics as a discipline, which is the pedagogy of Stylistics, and the use of stylistics for teaching literature in general and poetry in particular. Namibia adopted English as its official language 22 years ago. Since then, both teachers and students have been struggling with the analysis of poetry. This study is an empirical one using qualitative methods in the author＇s research to determine the impact of the study of Stylistics on the understanding and teaching of literature in Namibia. The author uses traditional British poetry from the 16th century up to the 20th century alongside postcolonial poetry to assess the importance of culture in understanding poetry and examine the advantage of using stylistics to teach the poems that the author selects.

Stylistic Analysis of Hopkins＇ Sonnet ＂No Worst＂

This thesis is concerned with the ＂stylistic analysis＂ of the sonnet ＂no worst, there is none＂. Stylistic rules are discourse bound, in the sense that the acceptability of sentences derived by the application of stylistic rules is crucially dependent upon their appropriateness to the contexts of utterances. The poetic language has poetic licences, can be an interpretation for the foreground regularities and foreground irregularities of poem. In this paper, I shall discuss the warranty and significance for these foregrounded regularities and irregularities stylistically, and evaluate it in the context.

Study on Defamiliarization: from Formalism to Marxism

One of the most influential concepts of the literary theory in the past century, defamiliarization tends to distance the audience from the ordinary, in order to augment difficulties in comprehending and thus impede the automization of perception. It is originally put forward by Russian Formalists, yet ranges over literary movements including Futurism and Marxism, a historical and dynamic phenomenon from the theoretical level to the practice plane, from the pure aesthetic perspective to the motivated and political viewpoint. This paper attempts to make a comparatively detailed analysis of such a vigorous process.

Foregrounded Beauty: A Brief Analysis of Cummings' Typical Poems from the Perspective of Stylistics

E. E. Cummings is one of the representatives of American modern experimental poets whose poems are well-known for the unique style. Cummings endeavors to make his poems be different from other poets'. He broke the traditional way of writing poems, invented in the changing of lines of the poem and the spelling of the words in the poem, thus to make his personal poem style distinctive. Therefore, standing on the stylistic point of view, this paper makes a brief analysis on Cummings' typical poems from foregrounding perspective.

Robust video foreground segmentation and face recognition

Face recognition provides a natural visual interface for human computer interaction （HCI） applications. The process of face recognition, however, is inhibited by variations in the appearance of face images caused by changes in lighting, expression, viewpoint, aging and introduction of occlusion. Although various algorithms have been presented for face recognition, face recognition is still a very challenging topic. A novel approach of real time face recognition for HCI is proposed in the paper. In view of the limits of the popular approaches to foreground segmentation, wavelet multi-scale transform based background subtraction is developed to extract foreground objects. The optimal selection of the threshold is automatically determined, which does not require any complex supervised training or manual experimental calibration. A robust real time face recognition algorithm is presented, which combines the projection matrixes without iteration and kernel Fisher discriminant analysis （KFDA） to overcome some difficulties existing in the real face recognition. Superior performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by comparing with other algorithms through experiments. The proposed algorithm can also be applied to the video image sequences of natural HCI.

Introgression of Two Drought QTLs into FUNAABOR-2 Early Generation Backcross Progenies Under Drought Stress at Reproductive Stage

FUNAABOR-2 is a popular Ofada rice variety grown in a large area under rainfed upland condition across western states of Nigeria. We used the combination of phenotypic and marker-assisted selection(MAS) to improve grain yield of FUNAABOR-2 under drought stress(DS) at the reproductive stage via introgression of two drought quantitative trait loci(QTLs), qDTY12.1 and qDTY2.3. Foreground selection was carried out using peak markers RM511 and RM250, associated with qDTY12.1 and qDTY2.3, respectively, followed by recombinant selection with RM28099 and RM1261 distally flanking qDTY12.1. Furthermore, BC1 F2-derived introgressed lines and their parents were evaluated under DS and non-stress(NS) conditions during the 2015–2016 dry season. Overall reduction of grain yield under DS compared to NS was recorded. Introgressed lines with qDTY12.1 and qDTY2.3 combinations showed higher yield potential compared to lines with single or no QTL under DS, indicating significant positive interactions between the two QTLs under the FUNAABOR-2 genetic background. Pyramiding of qDTY12.1 and qDTY2.3 in the FUNAABOR-2 genetic background led to higher grain yield production under DS and NS.

Hybrid Deep VGG-NET Convolutional Classifier for Video Smoke Detection

Real-time wild smoke detection utilizing machine based identification method is not produced proper accuracy,and it is not suitable for accurate prediction.However,various video smoke detection approaches involve minimum lighting,and it is required for the cameras to identify the existence of smoke particles in a scene.To overcome such challenges,our proposed work introduces a novel concept like deep VGG-Net Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)for the classification of smoke particles.This Deep Feature Synthesis algorithm automatically generated the characteristics for relational datasets.Also hybrid ABC optimization rectifies the problem related to the slow convergence since complexity is reduced.The proposed real-time algorithm uses some pre-processing for the image enhancement and next to the image enhancement processing;foreground and background regions are separated with Otsu thresholding.Here,to regulate the linear combination of foreground and background components alpha channel is applied to the image components.Here,Farneback optical flow evaluation technique diminishes the false finding rate and finally smoke particles are classified with the VGG-Net CNN classifier.In the end,the investigational outcome shows better statistical stability and performance regarding classification accuracy.The algorithm has better smoke detection performance among various video scenes.

Underwater Image Enhancement Based on the Dark Channel Prior and Attenuation Compensation

Aimed at the two problems of underwater imaging, fog effect and color cast, an Improved Segmentation Dark Channel Prior(ISDCP) defogging method is proposed to solve the fog effects caused by physical properties of water. Due to mass refraction of light in the process of underwater imaging, fog effects would lead to image blurring. And color cast is closely related to different degree of attenuation while light with different wavelengths is traveling in water. The proposed method here integrates the ISDCP and quantitative histogram stretching techniques into the image enhancement procedure. Firstly, the threshold value is set during the refinement process of the transmission maps to identify the original mismatching, and to conduct the differentiated defogging process further. Secondly, a method of judging the propagating distance of light is adopted to get the attenuation degree of energy during the propagation underwater. Finally, the image histogram is stretched quantitatively in Red-Green-Blue channel respectively according to the degree of attenuation in each color channel. The proposed method ISDCP can reduce the computational complexity and improve the efficiency in terms of defogging effect to meet the real-time requirements. Qualitative and quantitative comparison for several different underwater scenes reveals that the proposed method can significantly improve the visibility compared with previous methods.
