Mihai Sin – suprafețele prozei by Nicoleta Sălcudeanu

“…Without any irony, but with the addition of substantial steel lucidity, the writing of Mihai Sin is a frowning aspect of French moralism, a mix of prose, essays and pamphlets, and vision is that of an angry Candide, a Candide obviously more skeptical than Voltaire himself.

RS regenerating codes for cloud storage fault-tolerant system by Xi-ai YAN, Da-fang ZHANG, Jin-min YANG, Bo-yun ZHANG

“…RS(Reed-Solomon) regenerating erasure codes was proposed for cloud storage fault-tolerant system,which not only inherited the reliability of the RS encoding,but also achieved the high efficiency of tolerance three faults.Hybrid recovery method of the single fault node based on RS regenerating erasure codes was introduced.And the theoretical lower bound of the number of accessing disks was computed.In theory,the performance evaluation of the storage overhead,decoding efficiency,and repair bandwidth of the RS regenerating erasure codes was carried out.Experiments results show that the repair performance of RS regenerating erasure codes is improved greatly than the similar erasure codes,and the total recovery time of the system is reduced by 20.8%~28.2% using hybrid recovery algorithm in the case of single fault.…”

A Darker Shade of Pale: Webster’s Winter Whiteness by Annaliese CONNOLLY, Lisa HOPKINS

“…We argue, however, that it is actually white which is represented as the more sinister of the two colours, for reasons connected to the plays’ interest in the bodies and behaviour of rulers, specifically James I’s scheme for the annexation of Russia and his reburial of his mother, Mary, Queen of Scots.Reading the plays in relation to these two contemporary events, we argue that in his two great tragedies Webster prises open the instability of the term “white” to lay bare a tension between the spiritual and the material which reveals the darker side of whiteness.…”

Research on active defense application based on honeypot by Dequan YANG, Weimin LIU, Zhou YU

“…Abstract：With the rapid development of financial information technology,cyber security events on the financial system have also increased greatly.Active defense plays an important role in improving the defense level of defined private network.How to quickly and effectively deploy and apply honeypot to capture and attack behavior,analyze the attack intention and raise the threshold of attack is the key to ensure the security of the defined private network.From the perspective of active defense,the advantage of honeypot active defense was analyzed,an active defense and defense filling passive defense integration was designed,and a honeypot within private network experimental environment was set up,the results show that the active defense technology can effectively improve the threshold of the attacker's attack,so as to improve the security level of the whole network.…”
