Sur l’écran de ses souvenirs, Lo Batèu de pèira by François Amy de la Bretèque

“…The work of Jòrgi Gròs is interested in cinema in several ways, but this interest goes beyond the anecdotal and constitutes one of the core meanings of this novel. It is first of all a history of cinemas and audiences, coupled with a history of films, reworked by the writer's memory, who has taken the popular cinema of the 1930s to the 1950s as a point of reference and blends in older memories from his father's childhood. …”

Modeling and analysis of multi-party non-repudiation protocols with extended-CSP approach by Zhi-geng HAN, Geng CHEN, Jun-zhou LUO

“…Follow with the methodology of reverse engineering,an exploratory modeling and analysis of security of the typical Kremer-Markowitch multi-party non-repudiation protocol were carried out with a novel method named extended-CSP approach which had been proposed for two-party non-repudiation protocol in preliminary work.With the analysis,the inherent fact that this protocol statisfies not timeliness but non-repudiality and fairness was found successfully.The result of the analysis indicates that,as applying to two-party non-repudiation protocols,the extended-CSP approach can also be a new method for security verification of multi-repudiation protocols.…”

Fetishism and Form: Advertising and Ironic Distance in Don DeLillo’s White Noise by Adam Szetela

“…This essay uses the historical framework of late twentieth-century advertising to understand issues of characterization in Don DeLillo’s novel White Noise. Given DeLillo’s prior career as a copywriter for Ogilvy & Mather, as well as a large body of scholarship that analyzes his novels in relationship to issues of political economy and American culture, this essay seeks to not only deepen an understanding of the historical issues that surround DeLillo’s work, but also the political implications of his writing. …”

Le théâtre de Pierre : espace urbain et (inter)textualité dans Pierre, ou les ambiguïtés by Ronan Ludot-Vlasak

“…This article, which explores the textuality, intertextuality and fictionality of urban space in Melville’s Pierre aims at challenging the apparent opposition between urban and rural spaces in the novel. The hero’s departure from Saddle Meadows does not put an end to his distorted and distorting vision of reality: the urban space Pierre is confronted with is nothing but a new imaginary construct filtered through his readings. …”

Dark Aesthete: Gothic Elements in the Fiction of Walter Pater by Geoffrey Johnston Sadock

“…It should now be acknowledged that he is also a master of the Gothic, whose synthesis of the beautiful and the horrific invests his fiction with a delayed but unforgettable urgency.After reviewing Pater's status in recent scholarship and defining ‘Gothic,’ ‘Dark Aesthete’ considers the kinds and instances of Gothic writing in his short stories, Marius the Epicurean, and unfinished novel Gaston de Latour (1889, revised text 1995). …”

Improved incremental algorithm of Naive Bayes by Shui-fei ZENG, Xiao-yan ZHANG, Xiao-feng DU, Tian-bo LU

“…A novel Naive Bayes incremental algorithm was proposed,which could select new features.For the incremental sample selection of the unlabeled corpus,a minimum posterior probability was designed as the double threshold of sample selection by using the traditional class confidence.When new feature was detected in the corpus,it would be mapped into feature space,and then the corresponding classifier was updated.Thus this method played a very important role in class confidence threshold.Finally,it took advantage of the unlabeled and annotated corpus to validate improved incremental algorithm of Naive Bayes.The experimental results show that an improved incremental algorithm of Naive Bayes significantly outperforms traditonal incremental algorithm.…”

Deep learning for compressed sensing based sparse channel estimation in FDD massive MIMO systems by Yuan HUANG, Yigang HE, Yuting WU, Tongtong CHENG, Yongbo SUI, Shuguang NING

“…For FDD massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) downlink system, a novel deep learning method for compressed sensing based sparse channel estimation was proposed, which was called convolutional compressed sensing network (ConCSNet).In the ConCSNet, the convolutional neural network was utilized to solve the inverse transformation process from measurement vector y to signal h and solve the underdetermined optimization problem through data-driven method without sparsity.Simulation results show that the algorithm can recover the channel state information in massive MIMO Systems with unknown sparsity more quickly and accurately.…”
