Paratextual framings of Psalm 72 and the shaping of interpretive possibilities by D. Davage

“…It is then argued that verses 1 and 20 cast the psalm as David’s prayer for Solomon. The effect of these paratextual activities is then traced over time, first in the Hebrew Bible, in Second Temple literature, in the New Testament, as well as in Christian and Jewish expositions. …”

Research on fractional repetition codes based on group divisible designs by Bing ZHU, Hui LI, Jun CHEN, Han-xu HOU, Tai ZHOU

“…A novel design of FR (fractional repetition) codes was proposed which aims at providing efficient repair at the minimum bandwidth regenerating point.The design consisted of an outer MDS (maximum distance separable) code and an inner repetition code,called GDDBFR (group divisible design based FR) codes.The proposed codes can achieve the system storage capacity under the random access model and are available for a wide range of parameters.Despite of the table-based repair,theoretical analysis identifies that GDDBFR codes generally have large node repair alternatives.Furthermore,experimental results show that GDDBFR codes can significantly reduce the failure repair time when compared with legacy RS (Reed-Solomon) codes and regenerating codes in the domain.…”

Novel construction of QC-LDPC codes with modified 2-D GRS codes by Ming ZHAO, Xiao-lin ZHANG

“…The construction method for QC-LDPC (quasi-cyclic low density parity-check) code with modified two-dimensional generalized reed-solomon (2-D GRS) code is proposed using the generator polynomial of GRS code,so thus the constructed code can have better decoding performance.Meanwhile both the quasi dual-diagonal structure and proper weight distributions are considered during the construction.The QC-LDPC codes with different rates are used to compare with the new designed codes.Experimental results show that the proposed method can accelerate the construction and QC-LDPC codes constructed from the proposed method can have better decoding performance while with low encoding complexity.…”

RS regenerating codes for cloud storage fault-tolerant system by Xi-ai YAN, Da-fang ZHANG, Jin-min YANG, Bo-yun ZHANG

“…RS(Reed-Solomon) regenerating erasure codes was proposed for cloud storage fault-tolerant system,which not only inherited the reliability of the RS encoding,but also achieved the high efficiency of tolerance three faults.Hybrid recovery method of the single fault node based on RS regenerating erasure codes was introduced.And the theoretical lower bound of the number of accessing disks was computed.In theory,the performance evaluation of the storage overhead,decoding efficiency,and repair bandwidth of the RS regenerating erasure codes was carried out.Experiments results show that the repair performance of RS regenerating erasure codes is improved greatly than the similar erasure codes,and the total recovery time of the system is reduced by 20.8%~28.2% using hybrid recovery algorithm in the case of single fault.…”

Market as Religion: The Dynamics of Business Network in Megachurches by Roberto Bazanini, Celso Machado

“…The according exploratory and qualitative research aimed at analyzing the marketing strategies developed by the IURD leaders with their stakeholders in the Solomon’s Temple. The results show that in the competitive market of symbolic goods of religion, the magnitude and sumptuousness of megatemples construct a brand image that places the theological concerns of a future life or of salvation in the background, prioritizing practical solutions to everyday problems .The contribution of the research is to explain how the neopentescostal churches reinterpret traditional values of religiosity, by accepting with naturalness what had been rejected by traditional Protestantism and, thus, to consolidate and at the same time to legitimize the new dynamics of the religions that they act with the logic of the market.…”

Research progress of error correction coding in optical wireless communication system by Jingyuan LIANG, Mengru LI, Jiafan WANG, Xizheng KE

“…The channel environment of the optical wireless communication is complicated, susceptible to various natural phenomena such as rain, snow, and fog.The channel code is usually used to correct the error caused by the channel noise.Common channel codes are Reed-Solomon (RS) code, Turbo code, low density parity check (LDPC) code, polarization code and other types.The development of the error correction code was combed, the research progress of the error correction code for the optical wireless communication were summarized and the comparative analysis was made, which introduced the progress of Xi'an University of Technology in this field of theory and experimentation.RS code, Turbo code, LDPC code were comparable to the error correction characteristics in rain, snow and fog environments.Finally, the future possible research direction and challenges were pointed out, providing references for the future development and research in the relevant fields.…”

Confronting Race Head-on in 12 Years a Slave (Steve McQueen, 2013): Redefining the Contours of the Classic Biopic? by Anne-Marie Paquet-Deyris

“…In his successful 2013 cinematic release 12 Years a Slave, Steve McQueen circumvents the “great white narrative” by addressing race “head-on” instead of metaphorically, writing every character within their own racial background. As in Solomon Northup’s 1853 Twelve Years a Slave, black characters are not removed from their own histories; instead, they are shaped and defined by them. …”

Privacy cloud storage scheme based on fog computing by Jiyuan ZHOU, Hao LUO, Lei QIU, Tian WANG

“…As one of the core applications in cloud computing field,cloud storage attracts a large number of users depending on its powerful storage capacity.However,in this storage schema,users’ data is stored completely in cloud server.In other word,users’ right of control on data is lost and users are facing privacy leakage risk.Traditional privacy protection scheme is usually based on encryption technology,but the attack from the inside of cloud server can’t be resisted effectively by these kinds of methods.Once the password gets compromised,users’ data will be stolen.In order to solve this problem,a three-level secure cloud storage scheme based on fog computing was proposed and a Hash-Solomon code algorithm was designed.A small part of data was stored in local machine and fog server,which can take full advantage of cloud storage and protect the privacy of data.Through the theoretical safety analysis and experimental test,the feasibility of our scheme is proved,and it is really a powerful supplement to existing cloud storage scheme.…”

Comprehensive recognition algorithm of RS code based on fast code root trial by Xiaolin ZHANG, Xiuqiao LI, Rongchen SUN

“…In order to solve the problem of high computation and high missed alarm probability of RS (Reed-Solomon) codes for recognition, comprehensive recognition algorithm of RS codes based on fast code root trial was proposed.Firstly, the check relationship was solved in binary equivalently and fast code root trial was used to check parameters in sequence.Secondly, according to distribution characteristics of the combined code roots, m-level primitive polynomial field and error correction ability was associatively determined.Finally, the short codes and long codes were given different confidence weights and the determined parameters were comprehensively analyzed.The optimal parameter was selected and the generate polynomial was calculated.The proposed algorithm did not need prior information such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and had good adaptability.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the missed alarm probability under the condition of low complexity.Compared with the conventional hard decision algorithm, the performance of the proposed algorithm is improved, and the parameter recognition of RS codes can be completed quickly.…”
