Les funérailles charognardes. Homicide, cannibalisme et sacrifice humain pour les Yurakaré (Amazonie bolivienne) by Vincent Hirtzel

“…The Yurakaré approach to homicide focuses on the palingenesis of the victim as a carrion bird that eats its own corpse, a circularity which can be linked in the last resort to a historically grounded representation of a powerful Andean sovereign (particularly the Inca) executing his rebellious subjects. This study reveals a transformation of the Amazonian cannibalism which is also a Foothill critique of this kind of human sacrifice and is intended to contribute to a general theory of war, cannibalism and sacrifice in South America, beyond the academic frontier dividing highlands and lowlands.…”

Frontostriatal Cognitive Staging in Parkinson's Disease by Raúl de la Fuente-Fernández

“…A simple PD-related frontostriatal cognitive dysfunction (PDFCD) staging is proposed. Executive dysfunction and mental fatigue (stage I), depression/anxiety (stage IIa), apathy/pain (stage IIb), and dementia (stage III) reflect a sequential process of dopamine depletion occurring in different regions of the striatum (stages I and II) and the frontal cortex (stage III). …”

Multi-level feedback based time synchronization algorithm for wireless sensor networks by HUANGFU Wei1, ZHOU Xin-yun1, CHEN Can-feng3

“…Aiming at the fast and efficient time synchronization protocol for the wireless sensor networks under resource constraints, a novel feedback-based full-scale time synchronization（FTS） algorithm was proposed.The basic idea of FTS is to execute iteratively time synchronization downlink operations on all the nodes of the wireless sensor network and collect the two-way path delay information from only a part of nodes to calculate the average delay adjustment per hop.The stochastically feedback scheme is adopted to reduce the uplink packets.The FTS algorithm also consists of the mechanisms of synchronization error monitoring and clock skew correction.The FTS was implemented on the popular TelosB sensor nodes from UC Berkeley.The experiments show that FTS is a fast, resource-efficient algorithm with ra-tional synchronization precision.…”

Sur les traces d’un « sujet en devenir » by Daniel Favre

“…He will thus be able to carry out an action program and to check its execution. Self-regulation, and thus the capacity for a subject to become a little more a subject, could depend on an education allowing one to become more conscious of the coupling between the activity of feeling and the activity to think, which we call: “to think what one feels and to feel what one thinks”. …”

Double initial and caustic curves in diametrically compressed transparent discs - Application to the contact length by Christos Markides

“…An experimental protocol is then implemented in the case a thin cylindrical transparent disc is compressed between the jaws of the Inter­na­tional Society for Rock Mechanics suggested device for the execution of the Brazilian-disc test. The experimental method of caustics can provide the con­tact length quite accurately, even in the case of double curves which seem that are not always a consequence of a wide contact region.…”

Agentivité grammaticale et agentivité intrinsèque by Eliane Camargo

“…These are characterised by three causative operators, ‑ma, ‑{a}n, ‑man, the semantic content of which presents a dimension that is broader than that of a simple relationship between a causer and an affected executant. These operators translate various semantic parameters such as action control, intentionality, permissiveness, connivence, advantage and annoyance. …”

Stochastic gradient descent algorithm preserving differential privacy in MapReduce framework by Yihan YU, Yu FU, Xiaoping WU

“…Aiming at the contradiction between the efficiency and privacy of stochastic gradient descent algorithm in distributed computing environment,a stochastic gradient descent algorithm preserving differential privacy based on MapReduce was proposed.Based on the computing framework of MapReduce,the data were allocated randomly to each Map node and the Map tasks were started independently to execute the stochastic gradient descent algorithm.The Reduce tasks were appointed to update the model when the sub-target update models were meeting the update requirements,and to add Laplace random noise to achieve differential privacy protection.Based on the combinatorial features of differential privacy,the results of the algorithm is proved to be able to fulfill ε-differentially private.The experimental results show that the algorithm has obvious efficiency advantage and good data availability.…”
