Terracotta Figurines and the Acrolithic Statues of Demeter and Kore from Morgantina by Laura Maniscalco

“…Both the throne and the acrolithic sculptures may represent a built, rather than a glyptic, approach to sculpture making, which would anticipate the achievements of the Classical period in chryselephantine sculpture on a much larger scale.…”

The Contours of Locke’s General Substance Dualism by Graham Clay

“…My way of establishing Locke as a general substance dualist is to be as minimally committal as possible at the outset, especially with respect to the classic debates on Locke’s positions in this domain, including those concerning substrata, real essences, and the like. …”

“Depth of field” or “negative forms”: space/syntax from HDR digital photography to hypermedia navigation by Marie-Madeleine Martinet

“…It then looks at the broader chronological context of the interplay of distance and foreground, such as framing structures and brushwork texture in classical landscapes, the role of shadows in painting from Leonardo to Enlightenment theories on perception, the exploration of atmospheric effects and of lighting by Victorian artists and scientists ranging from stage sets to physicists’ experiments. …”

Soul-foods as pharmaka: female bodies and poisons in the Upper Rio Negro by Pedro Lolli, Geraldo Andrello

“…Setting out from the mythical genesis of tobacco, coca, paricá, and caapi (ayahuasca), we examine the relationship between these substances and diverse aspects of female bodies and their reproductive powers, suggesting that these psychoactives can be conceived as pharmaka in the classic sense of the term, acting both to increase a person’s vital force and/or to harm and kill. …”

La subsistance de l’homme : l’économie selon Karl Polanyi by Pierre Alary

“…It discusses the theoretical foundations of neoclassical, or classical schools in some respects, and offers: firstly a battery concepts to explain the embedding or disembedding of the economy; secondly different models to explain institutional differences between old economies and economies where the market system plays a crucial role. …”

Research on clustering algorithm based 6G typical usage scenarios by Ning JIN, Qingyang WANG

“…Compared with the three classic 5G usage scenarios, the content and types of 6G typical usage scenarios will be more abundant and diverse.How to refine 6G usage scenarios objectively and efficiently has become a major challenge.Based on this, the clustering algorithm was used to study the 6G usage scenarios.Firstly, the 6G service and performance indicators were considered.Then, the demand values of 6G service were collected and the indicators were scored.Finally, the sample data were analyzed by different clustering algorithms.According to the clustering results, eight typical usage scenarios of 6G were proposed, which could provide some reference for 6G research in the industry.…”

A dimensional analysis approach to fatigue in quasi-brittle materials by Marco Paggi

“…In this study, a generalized Barenblatt and Botvina dimensional analysis approach to fatigue crack growth is proposed in order to highlight and explain the deviations from the classical power-law equations used to characterize the fatigue behaviour of quasi-brittle materials. …”

Research on the IP alias resolution technology by Zhanfeng WANG, Guang CHENG, Chao HU, Han LI, Nianfeng WENG, Huaping CAO

“…IP alias resolution,the procedure of identifying IP addresses belonging to the same router,is a critical step in Internet topology inference.It can convert the Internet logical topology into physical topology,and bridge the gap between the virtual world and real world.First the concept of IP alias resolution was introduced and the classical IP alias relationships were analyzed.Then the IPv4 alias resolution algorithms and the IPv6 alias resolution algorithms were discussed in detail separately.Finally,through the comprehensive analysis and comparison of all the algorithms,the research directions in the future especially in IPv6 alias resolution were pointed out in three folds such as alias target set selection,fingerprint selection and inference methods.…”

Chaotic image encryption algorithm based on single image local scrambling and dynamic feedback diffusion by Yeqin CUI, Guochao DING

“…A novel chaotic image encryption algorithm based on single image local scrambling and dynamic feedback diffusion was presented.Firstly,a single image local scrambling algorithm was proposed.Secondly,a novel dynamic feedback diffusion strategy was proposed to change the pixel values of the scrambled image in the phase of diffusion,by which improved the results of image encryption.Finally,the simulation results and performance analysis show that the number pixels change rate（NPCR）values and unified average changing intensity（UACI）values of the proposed algorithm can be close to 99.6% and 33.4%,showing that the proposed algorithm has better resistance to differential attacks and saves time compared with the other three classic algorithms.…”

Price Forecasting Through Multivariate Spectral Analysis: Evidence for Commodities of BM&Fbovespa by Carlos Alberto Orge Pinheiro, Valter de Senna

“…ABSTRACT This study aimed to forecast the prices of a group of commodities through the multivariate spectral analysis model and compare them with those obtained by classical forecasting and neural network models. The choice of commodities such as ethanol, cattle, corn, coffee and soy was due to the emphasis in the exports in 2013. …”

La présentation des objets africains dans DOCUMENTS (1929/1930), magazine illustré by Coline Bidault

“…But the objective of Documents was above all to break down the barriers between the various disciplines by adopting a particular aesthetic: the juxtaposition of a wide variety of methods, ideas, texts and images, as well as of ways of thinking about African objects, meant that these could be considered in ways that went beyond the classic opposition of ethnographical and aesthetic approaches.…”

Le cas du metal symphonique, entre dégénérescence d’un art de l’extrême et exaltation du culte de la puissance by Jason Julliot

“…After sketching a definition of symphonic metal, this article considers the sound radicality issues in the heavy metal : by reversing the balance in favour of classical instruments and by integrating female singers (potentially lyrical), symphonic metal appears to be a non-violent genre, incompatible with what is the essence of heavy metal music. …”

Epistemic Roots, Universal Routes and Ontological Roofs of African “Ritual Archives”: Disciplinary Formations in African Thought by Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju

“…The distinction I advance between Yoruba philosophy and òrìṣà cosmology and the effort to map their interrelations is useful in categorizing and critically analyzing various postulates that constitute classical Yoruba thought. This mapping of convergence and divergence contributes to working out the continuum in Yoruba thought between a critical and experiential configuration and a belief system. …”
