Barrages et développement dans les Alpes françaises de l’entre-deux-guerres by Anne Dalmasso

“…Among the arguments for and against, which always tend to be structured around the promotion or denunciation of the virtues of modernisation and development, the acceptability of dams depends firstly on the disturbances caused to the distribution of property rights and land usage rights and the ability to balance out gains and losses among the different social groups concerned. …”

Robust image hashing method from global perception features of human visual cortex by SUN Rui1, YAN Xiao-xing2, GAO Jun1

“…Firstly,the image was filtered low-passly and re-scaled to fixed size.Then the image was divided into key-dependent overlapping blocks.According to the hierarchical structure of HVS primary visual cortex,directional contour responses were extracted through layer-by-layer processing of visual pathway,and global perception features could be obtained by associating with the surface color of each blocks.These features included image direction and color information.The relation of adjacent entries was invariant to ordinary image processing.It could be used to quantize and permute these feature to get the binary image hash.Test results indicate that the proposed method is robust against con-tent-preserving modifications such as JPEG compression and filtering,at the same time,is capable of localizing image malicious tampering.Hashes of different images have very low collision probability.…”

The Effect of Glucocorticoid and Glucocorticoid Receptor Interactions on Brain, Spinal Cord, and Glial Cell Plasticity by Kathryn M. Madalena, Jessica K. Lerch

“…While GRs are in every cell in the nervous system, the expression level varies, suggesting that diverse cell types react differently to GR activation. Stress/GCs induce structural plasticity in neurons, Schwann cells, microglia, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes as well as affect neurotransmission by changing the release and reuptake of glutamate. …”

STUDY ON SIMULATION OF CHAIN DRIVE’DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR BASED ON RECURDYN by TAO DongBo, HE Chao, FAN XinBo, TUO QianJin

“…Chain drive is a convenient mechanical transmission for use,which has such characteristics as compact structure and high reliability.Chain is a flexible body.In the course of transmission,the polygon effect and the meshing impact are the fundamental reason to produce dynamic loadand vibration,meanwhile,this process is abstract and difficult to be understood.With chain drive kinematic theory and multi-rigid-body dynamics as the theoretical basis,the polygon effect and the meshing impact were simulatedby using Recur Dyn software,which visually showedthe inhomogeneity of the chain speedand the beating effect of the chain drive.It provides the right virtual prototyping model for the whole machine simulation and mechanism optimization analysis about chain transmission,and it has some guidance and reference value for the development and improvement of products about chain drive.…”
