Ron Peck’s Strip Jack Naked (UK, 1991): Portrait of the Artist as a Young Gay Man by Nicole Cloarec

“…Thus, through the personal case of the film-maker, Strip Jack Naked develops into a personal history of gay culture in Great Britain. In Strip Jack Naked, Ron Peck adopts a double reflexive approach: as the subject of his own narrative as well as through the use of a voice-over that addresses the viewer with both directness and intimacy, the film-maker builds up a personal counter-history of Great Britain from the 1960s to the 1980s; as a film-maker, he raises the question of the representation of minorities in society and most specifically of the role an artist plays in this representation.…”

TSL:predicting popularity of Facebook content based on tie strength by Xiaomeng WANG, Binxing FANG, Hongli ZHANG, Xing WANG

“…The rapid development of online social networks leads to an explosion of information,however,there are great differences in the popularity of different messages,and accurate prediction is always a great difficulty is the current study.Popularity prediction of online content aims to predict the popularity in the future based on its early diffusion status.Existing models for popularity prediction were mostly based on discovering network features or fitting the equation into a varying time function that the accuracy of current popularity prediction model was not high enough.Therefore,with the help of the weak ties theory in sociology,the concept of tie strength was introduced and a multilinear regression equation was constructed combined with the early popularity.A TSL model to predict the popularity of Facebook’s well-known pages was proposed.The main contribution of this article was to solve the problem and few or no work based on sociology.A high linear correlation between the proportion of faithful fans was existed in Facebook homepage with frequent shares in the early and the future popularity.Compared with other baseline models,an experimental study of Facebook (including 1.54 million shares) illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed TSL model,and the performance is better than the existing similar methods.…”

Application of edge-cloud collaborative intelligence technologies in power grids by Qing HAN, Kunlun GAO, Ting ZHAO, Jiangqi CHEN, Xinyu YANG, Shusen YANG

“…With the continuous development of the Internet of things on electricity (IoTE) and large-scale deployment of intelligent edge devices, an explosively increasing amount of data are being generated at the network edge.The efficient, fast and secure processing and analysis of the massive edge located data brings great challenges for the traditional cloud computing-based intelligence technologies.Instead, edge-cloud collaborative intelligence (ECCI) technologies can significantly outperform the cloud computing-based intelligence in terms of the network bandwidth saving, delay reduction and privacy protection, and therefore have shown a great potential in boosting the development of power grids.To investigate the application of ECCI in power grids, the concept and research progress of ECCI were firstly introduced.The characteristics and advantages of ECCI were summarized and its applicability in the power grids were discussed.Secondly, the key technologies of ECCI applications for power grids were discussed and the solutions based on ECCI technologies for two typical scenes were proposed respectively.Finally, a brief discussion of future work was given.…”

RESEARCH ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE INPUT SHAFT’S CONNECTION METHOD OF A AGITATOR by TAO Jun, ZHONG Ying, FEI LingZhi

“…The results showed that the keyless connection could significantly improve the safety factor of the shaft; It could also avoid the occurrence of stress concentration in the key groove,so the maximum stress value of the shaft under rated operating conditions was greatly reduced. If the program is used,the mechanical strength of the input shaft could be greatly increased,and the service life of the shaft could also be effectively improved. …”

Arthur ainda vive? by Isadora Cristine Martins

“…This hope, known in historiography as “the Breton hope”3, was suggested in some sources during the 12th and 13th centuries, in which chroniclers stated that Arthur was not, in fact, dead for some groups within Great Britain’s territory. Since the 1990s, the discussion about the Breton hope has changed. …”
