Diversité des itinéraires migratoires des colons d’un front pionnier amazonien by Xavier Arnauld de Sartre, Pascal Sebille

“…That’s the reason why many researchers try to explain the reasons of their migration, but most of the time considering that the populations behave in a homogeneous manner. Based on a sample of 350 settlers encountered in recent colonised areas, our analysis shows the apparent homogeneity of the settler’s migrations, but stresses the diversity of their routes and of their logics of mobility – diversity which brings us to build a typology of those migrants based on their trajectories.…”

La résurgence/convergence du triptyque « catastrophe-résilience-adaptation » pour (re)penser la « fabrique urbaine » face aux risques climatiques by Béatrice Quenault

“…Secondly, considering the actual uses and meanings of resilience, this article interrogates the operational feature of this concept to re-think about the “urban fabric” in an integrated manner with the climate risks prevention. Finally, it aims to clarify why planned adaptation strategies aimed at reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing proactive resilience of cities, that have progressively become in both academic and institutional discourses a key feature, and even a tipping point, for urban sustainable development pathways, can revealed to be ambiguous.…”

“…It can create an environment for education and could strengthen that process in a synergistic manner. In reality, we can observe almost the opposite situation, when the school space, instead of comprehensively stimulating the students, becomes a materialized symbol of the oppressive nature of the educational system. …”

The Roles of UmuD in Regulating Mutagenesis by Jaylene N. Ollivierre, Jing Fang, Penny J. Beuning

“…Mutagenesis is now understood to be an active process, in part facilitated by lower-fidelity DNA polymerases that replicate DNA in an error-prone manner. Y-family DNA polymerases, found throughout all domains of life, are characterized by their lower fidelity on undamaged DNA and their specialized ability to copy damaged DNA. …”

Framing the Land: Canadian Landscapes Revisited in Jin-me Yoon and Lorraine Gilbert’s Photography by Gwendolyne Cressman

“…While the photographers engaged in geographical and topographical expeditionary missions envisioned the land as the epitome of the sublime landscape, the Group of Seven painters of the 1920s and 1930s later sought to express the essence of Canada’s northern identity through the celebration of a mythical wilderness. This manner of framing the land implied that what was kept outside of the frame or conversely included within its bounds, was often informed by hierarchical relations and colonialist visions of the land. …”

Madame Bovary ? elle habitait là-bas... by Ida Merello

Service migration of heterogeneous cloud computing platform by Feng WEI, Fei DING, Pengju JIAO, Yang LI, Yanshan CHEN, Dengyin ZHANG

“…With the rapid development of 5G communication technology,Internet+ and the Internet of things (IoT),cloud computing as an Internet-based virtual resource management and a distributed computing technology,provides services to users in a dynamic,on-demand and measurable manner.The solution of migrating the service platform to the cloud computing platform can realize rapid service deployment and effectively save service innovation and operating cost.With the research of the cloud computing platform-based service migration technology,the China Mobile’s OpenStack-based cloud computing architecture was taken as an example.The technical principles and core points of the mainstream service migration schemes were analyzed,such as offline migration,online migration based on platform functions,online service migration based on the agent block level and online service migration based on agent file level.The general service migration process and method were also given.Finally,three types of online migration schemes were experimentally verified through the actual platform.The technical advantages and adaptation scenarios were analyzed separately to guide the production practice of future business migration.…”

Feasts of Indifference: Racialization, Affect, and Necropolitics in 1X War Games by Mahshid Mayar

“…In other words, instead of planning how to best train for, track down, encounter, and ultimately fight against this enemy, the choice that these controversial, post-9/11games offer is to simply eliminate the already out-at-large, under-armed, erratic Muslim enemy in a drone-like, distanced, and lackluster manner. As I suggest in this essay, 1X games promote unappealing and non-immersive, yet overtly political projects of death. …”

Canonical and noncanonical autophagy: involvement in Parkinson’s disease by Maria Sakurai, Tomoki Kuwahara

“…In particular, CASM is unique in that it does not require autophagy upstream mechanisms, while the ATG8 conjugation system is involved in a manner different from canonical autophagy. There have been many reports on the involvement of these autophagy-related mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases, with Parkinson’s disease (PD) receiving particular attention because of the important roles of several causative and risk genes, including LRRK2. …”

Research on optimization of indoor positioning batch ranging system based on DS-TWR algorithm by Hongwei SUN, Xuehong CAO, Liangbao JIAO, Lin MENG, Ziheng LIU, Feng YUAN

“…Aiming at the current problems of the ultra wide band (UWB) indoor positioning system based on the double sided two-way ranging (DS-TWR) algorithm, there are more communication times and a higher conflict rate in a multi-tag environment, an improved algorithm was proposed.The Hash algorithm to hash and distribute the communication content between the tag and the anchor was used, so that the anchor could reply to multiple tags in a regular and unified manner during each ranging process, which greatly reduced the number of times the anchor sends RES (responds) data.Experimental results show that the improved algorithms’ communication times between a tag and the anchor were reduced by 15% compared with the traditional DS-TWR algorithm, which increases the time proportion of the anchor receiving state in ranging, thereby reducing the anchor receiving RNG (range) data.The collision rate of packets, the success rate of ranging has increased by 43.6%.Due to the reduction in the number of communications required in each positioning cycle and the reduction in the collision rate between data packets, a smaller channel capacity would be required, thereby increasing the label capacity of the positioning system, which has strong engineering significance.…”

Henry Rider Haggard’s Posthumanist Eco-consciousness by Sinan AKILLI

“…Writing his “imperial romances” in the wake of the beginnings of what is now called the Anthropocene age, Haggard observed and understood the changing relationships between the human society and the more-than-human world in this historical period. In a manner that would be unexpected of an author widely labeled as ‘a man of his times’—and therefore a pro-imperial propagandist—in postcolonial literary criticism, he was critical of the anthropocentric ways of western civilization. …”
