Intelligent and open new generation telecom service architecture and its key technologies by Jianxin LIAO, Hao ZHANG, Tong XU, Lingfei NI, Jingyu WANG, Wenfu WU

“…For complex heterogeneous networks,IOTSA (intelligent and open telecom service architecture) based on the comprehensive decoupling of service systems was proposed,as well as core mechanisms such as intelligent scheduling of network resources,dynamic service orchestration and combination,and intelligent monitoring of abnormal behavior.Through the establishment of a three-level interface and four-layer capability opening architecture,multi-granular capability opening and comprehensive resource sharing were realized,which met the needs of multiple scenarios.Key technologies such as low-risk and low-cost rapid decoupling of service systems and dynamic coordination of multiple services were proposed.These achievements had formed a series of international standards and had been applied on a large scale on existing networks.By providing a large number of ultra-fine-grained capabilities,396 atomic capabilities,and flexible composite capabilities,the development of operator and third-party services and applications were strongly supported.…”

A crítica pós-moderna: analítica da interação e da sociabilidade by Carlos A. Gadea

“…When the post-modern critique reformulates issues of sociability and political and cultural behavior and resorts to an analytical framework in which concepts such as plurality, multiplicity, fragmentation and relativism gain importance, it is doing nothing else than reintroducing a theoretical legacy and a sociological adventure that arise, for instance, from the sociological impressionism of Simmel, the pragmatism of William James and psychosocial studies of Georg H. …”

An Experimental Study on Deformation Fractures of Fissured Rock around Tunnels in True Triaxial Unloads by Meng Wang, Zheming Zhu, Jun Xie

“…In order to investigate the crack behaviour during this process, a true triaxial loading apparatus with a computer-controlled electrohydraulic servosystem was established, and a series of true triaxial loading and unloading experiments was conducted by using concrete specimens containing inclined cracks with inclinations of 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 75°. The stress-strain behavior and the failure property of rock models during unloading process were obtained, and, additionally, the coefficient of brittle stress drop was investigated. …”

Temporal filtering for target detection algorithm based on static background elimination by WANG Bo, LIU De-lian, ZHANG Jian-qi

“…A new temporal based target detection algorithm was presented by using static background elimination to deal with the drawback of large scale data processing and real-time implementation in temporal filtering.Firstly,a uniform model was developed based on the temporal behavior of different types of pixels.And the parameter of the model was estimated by introducing least square method.Using the new model,static background pixels could be eliminated.Secondly,a minimum filer was designed to obtain the baseline of the temporal profile.Finally,the deviation of the temporal profile and its baseline was analyzed,which led to a detection criterion.Since the target signal was well preserved during the static background elimination and large sale tracking data was eliminated,the method could have higher speed and computational efficiency.Experiments with real image sequences have proved the validity of the new approach.…”
