This paper presents a quantitative approach to studying linguistic and cultural change in China during the first half of twentieth century, period that remains understudied computational humanities research. The dramatic changes Chinese language culture this time call for greater reflection on tools methods used text analysis. preliminary study offers framework analyzing texts from late nineteenth centuries, demonstrating how established such as word counts embeddings can provide new...
This article explores the impact of agricultural science and extension on cotton industry in interwar Shandong Province. It shows that experts played an important role breeding upland or “American” organizing communities to maintain quality improved varieties. In 1910s early 1920s, focused primarily acclimatizing improving American Early approaches distributing varieties failed account for difficulties maintaining seed purity. Subsequently, 1930s, scientists agents worked together with...
Abstract Light Imaging Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) systems generate point cloud imagery by using laser light to measure distance a surface then combine numerous points create three-dimensional (3-D) image. Since early adaptations, LiDAR is now common in aerial subterranean geographical surveying autonomous vehicle operations. The transportation industry uses monitor roadway quality, which can allow hazardous corrosion be spotted repaired before endangering drivers. However, leading issue...
Much of historical research relies on the close reading diaries, letters, and other primary sources. But this is not only way to approach materials. A different method that has gained popularity in recent years known as “distant reading,” a computational extracting broader generalizations from large corpora texts. Distant can take many forms, such text mining, network analysis, or mapping. These approaches, Ted Underwood argues, help us understand “longer arcs change [that] have been hidden...
