La parole de l’autre. La communication extra-terrestre dans la série « Valérian » de Christin et Mézières by Franck Thibault

“…Since Les Mauvais Rêves in 1968, and then the first comic book La Cité des eaux mouvantes in 1970, the “Valérian agent spatio-temporel” comic series by Jean-Claude Mézières and Pierre Christin has developped along its 23 issues into a science fiction classic, and even, according to Stan Barets, “a classic of comics and a masterpiece of science fiction”. …”

Wavelet Analysis Method to Solve the Problem of Wireless Location Tracking by Baoquan Chen, Yongyi Mao

“…The signal of non-line-of-sight propagation（NLoS）largely determine the positioning accuracy of the mobile station in wireless location,the wavelet analysis theory has obvious advantages in signal processing.A positioning and tracking algorithm of the mobile station（MS）in the NLoS environment of cellular network was presented.Using wavelet transform signal decomposition and reconstruction,the TDOA measurement error correction,re-use classic Chan algorithm to estimate the location of the mobile station,with the corresponding distance threshold to track the location of the mobile station location.The simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively achieve the static positioning and dynamic tracking of the location of the mobile station,and significantly better than the classical algorithm simulation results in the same environment,and effectively improve the positioning accuracy.…”

Strain gradient elasticity within the symmetric BEM formulation by S. Terravecchia, T. Panzeca, C. Polizzotto

“…The symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method is used to address a class of strain gradient elastic materials featured by a free energy function of the (classical) strain and of its (first) gradient. With respect to the classical elasticity, additional response variables intervene, such as the normal derivative of the displacements on the boundary, and the work-coniugate double tractions. …”
