Les modillons de terre cuite de la basilique de Saint-Martin de Tours (Indre-et-Loire) et de l’église abbatiale Sainte-Marie de Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire (Loiret) : l’expression de de... by Sébastien Jesset

“…Today, Tours and Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire preserve the two most important collections of terracotta modillions from the Early Middle Ages of the Middle Loire valley, excluding the city of Orléans where these construction materials, were found in one, two or three copies on more than a dozen sites, and Saran a well-known village of potters for the Early Middle Ages.The interest of the collections of Tours and Saint-Benoît lies moreover in places of highly symbolic value, which are the basilica of Saint-Martin on one hand and the abbey church of Sainte-Marie on the other hand.Beyond a simple difference in the actual shaping of the modillions (the Touraine specimens being molded and those of the Orléanais sculpted), these two series of objects are the expression of two different conceptions of the modular cornice, probably a cultural heritage from Antiquity.…”

Fast Single Pbase Algoritbm for Utility Mining in Big Data by Junqiang Liu, Qingfeng Zhou, Wenhui Wang, Lei Shi

“…Most of the latest works on utility mining generates a huge number of candidates in dealing with big data,which suffers from the scalability issue.Some work does not generate candidates,but suffers from the efficiency issue due to lack of strong pruning and high computation overhead.A novel algorithm that finds high utility patterns in a single phase without generating candidates was proposed.The novelties lie in a prefix growth strategy with strong pruning,and a sparse matrix based representation of transactions with pseudo projection.The proposed algorithm works in a depth first manner and does not materialize high utility patterns in memory,which further improves the scalability.Extensive experiments on synthetic and rea1-world data show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the latest works in terms of running time,memory overhead,and scalability.…”
