La nature et les ruines : anciennes présences humaines dans le récit climatique de science‑fiction by Rémi Auvertin

“…Whether placed in a specific environmental framework (rising waters, global warming, snow) or in a more global civilizational narrative, the climatic ruin can be observed as an architectural discourse, as a visual and aesthetic object or as a narratological device. Built at the intersection of different cultural models (the climatic or archaeological imaginary, the post-apocalyptic city, the dead city), these everyday landscapes, reclaimed by nature, crystallize the anxiety of a non‑return. …”

Efficient heuristic algorithm for the mobile sink routing problem by YUAN yuan1, PENG Yu-xing1, LI Shan-shan2, TANG Wen-sheng3

“…In large-scale monitoring region,randomly deployed wireless sensor networks may not be fully connected with high probability.Using mobile sink for data collection is one of the feasible solutions.Mobile sink shortest routing prob-lem can be regarded as a special case of TSP with neighborhoods（TSPN） problem,since the neighborhoods are the radio ranges of the sensor nodes,which can be modeled as possibly overlapped disks with diverse sizes.This kind of TSPN problem has no polynomial algorithms so far.To handle it,a novel approximation algorithm was proposed,which first forms a "racetrack" by utilizing the non-intersecting loop property of TSP routes,and then through the inner lane heuris-tic,the bend heuristic and the shortcut searching,the algorithm can find an approximation solution within O（n2） computa-tion time.The formal proofs and the large-scale simulations all verify that our algorithm can achieve a good approxima-tion ratio and can be more efficient than the related algorithms.…”

Researching in prison education-spaces: Thinking-with Posthuman, Post Qualitative, Feminist Materialism ‘beings’ to disentangle methodology. by Lucy Harding

“…Through an imagined conversation with these 3 concepts as abstract ‘beings’, I have answered provocative questions about my research methods, apparatus, and ethics. Working at the intersections of abstractness (imagined conversations) and materialisms (creative, stitched outcomes and physical prison spaces), we think and feel-through the use of walking interviews, a visual matrix, and diffractive analysis to research the experiences of teachers working in prisons. …”

Damage Assessment in a SiC-fiber reinforced Ceramic Matrix Composite by Konstantinos G. Dassios, Theodore E. Matikas

“…Cyclic loading also helped establish the axial residual stress state of the fibres in the composite of tensile nature via a well-defined common intersection point of unloading-reloading cycles. A translation vector approach in the stress-strain plane was successful in establishing the residual stress-free properties of the composite and in reconciling the scatter noted in elastic properties of specimens with respect to theoretical expectations.…”
