Tennessee Williams’s post-pastoral Southern gardens in text and on the movie screen by Taïna Tuhkunen

“…The article focuses on the disrespectful representations of the paradigmatic Southern garden which remains dynamic while maintaining some of its classic or biblical features. By relying on the conception of the pastoral garden as theorized by Leo Marx in The Machine in the Garden (1964), the author pays specific attention to the way mid-xxth century cinema kept recreating Williams’s Southern gardens as a corrupted and dehumanized space pierced through by disquieting shrieks.…”

The Approximate Solution of Some Plane Boundary Value Problems of the Moment Theory of Elasticity by Roman Janjgava

“…The values of stress concentration coefficients obtained in the case of moment elasticity and for the classical elastic medium are compared. In the final part of the paper, we construct the approximate solution of a nonlocal problem whose exact solution is already known and compare our approximate solution with the exact one. …”

HipHop und Postkolonialismus by David Chemeta

“…By analyzing the linguistic evolutions of hip hop in Germany using concepts from Postcolonial Studies, I seek to highlight the way many rappers with migration backgrounds, as well as part of the people from migration backgrounds living in Germany, have deconstructed the classical idea of “germanity”, often in order to reshape it into a more hybrid form.…”

Test case minimizing based on combination chaos genetic algorithm by Qing SHEN, Yunliang JIANG, Zhangguo SHEN, Jungang LOU

“…Test case minimizing is one of the most important research fields in software testing.Uniformly distributed Chebyshev and Logistic chaos sequence were introduced in the selection，crossover and mutation of genetic algorithm.Chaos disturbance was also added in genetic testing suite to address the common problems of weak ability in local search and premature convergence，thus to optimize the test result.Experiments were conducted in randomly generated test suites and Siemens test suites.Comparisons were also made with classical methods regard to the scale of production of test suite and the execution time of the algorithms.The results of the experiment indicate that based on the same execution time of the algorithms，a smaller scale test suite can be produced by introducing chaotic sequence in genetic testing suite selection.…”

Study on a multi-satellite constrained space-time anti-jam algorithm by Guo-sheng HUANG, Zheng-rong YI, Tao SHUAI, Zhen-cai ZHU

“…A multi-satellite constrained space-time anti-jam algorithm was proposed for global navigation satellite system(GNSS)receivers.Firstly the equivalent GSC structure of multi-satellite constrained LCMV principle was considered and its forward decomposition process was simplified and improved,so the computation complexity was reduced to approach single-satellite constrained problem.Then the Householder multi-stage Wiener filtering(MWF)algorithm was proposed to solve the classical Wiener filtering problem in the GSC structure,and an efficient order-recursive implementation structure was obtained by improving the backward recursive process using the decomposition property of MWF,so the real-time performance was greatly promoted and the reduced rank could be adaptively estimated from the output of MSE.The complete procedure of the proposed algorithm is summed up and its validation is verified by simulations.…”
