Ce que l’itinéraire nous dit du voyage. Listes d’itinéraire, voyage et imaginaire spatial au Soudan central au XIXe siècle by Camille Lefebvre

“…Their method involved a daily, systematic account of the trips made by the companions and informants whom they met on the road or at places where they stopped over. Some of these lists of itineraries have survived and invite us to try to describe the scientific practices and geographical imagery on which they were based. …”

DESIGN OF PARAMETERS OPTIMIZATION FOR AUTOMOBILE SUSPENSION BASED ON ARTIFICIAL BEE COLONY ALGORITHM by ZHANG HaiTao, WANG AiGuo

“…In view of defect of selecting parameters for automotive suspension system,optimizing method of determining the parameters based on local elitist strategy（ LES） and artificial bee colony algorithm（ ABC） was proposed through integrating great local seeking ability of LES and great global seeking ability of ABC algorithm.Through Matlab/Simulink software,The simulation of suspension system were carried out; in which integral white noise model were the road input. The simulation discovered that LES-ABC algorithm optimization algorithm has certain advantage compared with traditional algorithms and artificial bee colony algorithm. …”

Rugged Resonances: From Music in McCarthy to McCarthian Music by Julius Greve, Markus Wierschem

“…It teases out the stylistic idiosyncrasies of McCarthy’s fiction in terms of a sonic register, by tracing its connections to the film scores of movie adaptations like All the Pretty Horses (2000) and The Road (2009), and to the works of a diverse set of musicians and bands directly inspired by McCarthy’s fiction, including acts like Buddy and the Huddle, Horatio Clam, Ben Nichols, Earth, and Neurosis. …”

Cooperative service caching and peer offloading in Internet of vehicles based on multi-agent meta-reinforcement learning by Zhaolong NING, Kaiyuan ZHANG, Xiaojie WANG, Lei GUO

“…In order to reduce computation complexity, a two-layer mutli-RSU (road side unit) service caching and peer offloading algorithm (MPO) was proposed to decouple the optimization problem.In the designed MPO, the outer layer utilized multi-agent meta-reinforcement learning, which established long short-term memory (LSTM) network as the meta-agent to balance decisions of local agents and accelerate learning progress.The inner layer utilized lagrange multiplier method to achieve optimal decision for RSU peer offloading.Experimental results based on real traffic data in Hangzhou demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other methods and remains robust under large-scale workloads.…”

MIMO OTA performance testing of vehicles by Lei LI, Guiming WEI, Guokai JIANG, Jiaxu FENG, Xiang WU

“…Intelligent traffic system is one of promising technologies for traffic industry.Based on communication among cars, pedestrian, traffic infrastructure and cellular networks, it’s able to significantly promote on road safety and efficiency by making proper traffic instructions.How to precisely evaluate the communication performance of a whole vehicle become a hot-topic in the field.Unfortunately, there is still no solution about the setup and procedures for the OTA testing.A low-cost solution was proposed by reconstructing channel models and optimizing the existing testing system framework that referred to as multi-probe anechoic chamber.The proposed method was able to multiple the test area with limited channel emulator RF channels by introducing a low-cost digital converter.Numerical simulations indicate that the proposed method has the ability to reproduce spatial and temporal correlation features of the target channel model, which is coherent with related standards’ requirements.…”
