« ‘A flat dichotomist’ : Critique marlovienne de la méthode ramiste » by Laetitia Sansonetti

“…This article studies the reception of Ramus (Pierre de La Ramée, 1515-1572) in England over the last quarter of the 16th century, which corresponds to the heyday of the publication of his major works, Dialectics and Rhetoric. While Ramus’s avowed aim was to promote a form of universal logic built on method (meaning for him the “order” or “disposition” of ideas from the simple to the complex ones) and syllogistic division, “Ramus” became a label attached to both the man and his doctrine and standing for novelty and the refusal to submit to authority, be it the scholastic authority of Aristotle’s commentators or the religious authority of French Catholicism (a convert to Protestantism, he died during the St. …”

Research on wireless access technologies for Internet of things by Jianchi ZHU, Bei YANG, Peng CHEN, Xiaoming SHE, Qi BI

“…Mobile Internet and Internet of things (IoT) are two major driving forces for the future development of mobile communications and will provide broad prospects for 5G.IoT expands the range of mobile communications services,evolving from “Internet of people” to “Internet of everything”.5G IoT scenarios include low-power massive-connections and low-latency high-reliability.Low-power massive-connections scenario has the characteristics of small data packets,low power consumption,mass connections.It not only requires the network to have the ability to support over a hundred billion connections,but also ensures the terminal’s ultra-low power consumption and ultra-low cost.Low-latency high-reliability scenario is primarily for applications,such as Internet of vehicle,autonomous driving,industrial control and remote medical.Such applications requires extremely high requirements on latency and reliability.They require to provide millisecond-level end-to-end latency and be close to 100% service reliability.Firstly,the technologies for low-power massive-connections scenario were introduced,including LoRa (long range wide area network) and SigFox operating on unlicensed spectrum and EC-GSM (extended coverage-GSM),LTE-M and NB-IoT (narrow band Internet of things) operating on licensed spectrum.Then,an overview of service requirements and performance metrics for ultra-reliable low latency communications was presented.Finally,the development of ITS (intelligent transport system) technologies for both 3GPP V2X (vehicle-to-everything) and IEEE DSRC (dedicated short range communication) standards was described.…”
