Spatial ‘Complexity’: Analysis of the Evolution of Beijing’s Movement Network and its Effects on Urban Functions by Qiang Sheng

“…Based on a model developed by Spacelab, which understands scale as being constructed in movement and communications technologies, we try to represent this process on two levels: first, on the morphology of the movement network itself, I would like to show how technological development of highway, metro and bus systems change the way people move in the city; second, on the effects of changing movement networks, I would like to examine how shops and other public activities locate and relocate themselves within urban space. …”

The case for weak null in English by Andrew Tollet

“… The concept of the null article in English was originally developed as a means of explaining the apparent paradox that singular nouns with the same surface form, namely the non-presence of a grammatical article, are used in quite different communicative situations. Null has been described as the most definite form in the English article system, standing in direct contrast to zero at the opposite end of a scale. …”

English language students’ productive and receptive knowledge of collocations by Begagić Mirna

“…There have been numerous studies in L2 acquisition research that investigated how the knowledge and use of collocations at different levels of proficiency affect learners’ communicative competence and language performance. Moreover, it seems important to mention that most of the studies investigating the collocational knowledge of students learning English as their L2, indicated students’ poor performance (Fayez-Hussein 1990; Aghbar 1990; Bahns and Eldaw 1993; Stubbs 2002; Wray 2002; Nasselhauf 2005; Ozaki 2011). …”

Reinforcement learning-based real-time video streaming control and on-device training research by Huanhuan ZHANG, Anfu ZHOU, Huadong MA

“…Service platforms centered on the Internet of things and mobile Internet are in accelerating process.Hundreds of millions of end-users communicate through network real-time video services, which have become an irreplaceable core tool in human’s digital life.However, the Internet is becoming dynamic, and heterogeneous, which imposes stringent requirements on real-time video streaming control technology.Moreover, the QoE of real-time video is not satisfactory.An adaptive reinforcement learning-based video intelligent transmission algorithm was designed, which can deal with heterogeneous network environment.And then, an effective end-to-end on-device training framework was designed to decrease server overhead, and a detailed evaluation and analysis on the neural network design and structure was provided.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively predict heterogeneous network bandwidth, and reduces the bandwidth prediction error by 48.48%, comparing with the representative streaming control algorithm.The effective bandwidth prediction can further improve the user QoE, such as improving the video fluency by 60.65%, and improving the video quality by 16.52%.Besides, the analysis can provide empirical insights for further study, and holds potential to push the development of intelligent video applications.…”
