Deep reinforcement learning based task allocation mechanism for intelligent inspection in energy Internet by Siya XU, Yifei XING, Shaoyong GUO, Chao YANG, Xuesong QIU, Luoming MENG

“…In order to reduce the cost and improve efficiency of power line inspection, UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), which use mobile edge computing technology to access and process service data, are used to inspect power lines in the energy internet.However, due to the dynamic changes of UAV data transmission demand and geographical location, the edge server load will be unbalanced, which causes higher service processing delay and network energy consumption.Thus, an intelligent inspection task allocation mechanism for energy internet based on deep reinforcement learning was proposed.First, a two-layer edge network task offloading model was established to archive joint optimization of multi-objectives, such as delay and energy consumption.It was designed by comprehensively considering the route of UAV and edge nodes, different demands of services and limited service capabilities of edge nodes.Furthermore, based on Lyapunov optimization theory and dual-time-scaled mechanism, proximal policy optimization algorithm based deep reinforcement learning was used to solve the connection relationship and offloading strategy of edge servers between fixed edge sink layer and mobile edge access layer.The simulation results show that, the proposed mechanism can reduce the service request delay and system energy consumption while ensuring the stability of system.…”

Romanesque polychrome wood sculptures in Italy: towards a Corpus and a comparative analysis of the data from art-historical and technical studies by Grazia Maria Fachechi, Susanna Bracci

“…The aim is to collect data concerning the historical-artistic and technical-material aspects, with particular attention to polychromy, and to create a digital database, to verify if, between the 11th and the third quarter of the 13th century, existed a “typical behaviors" by the masters of lumber operating in a specific geographical area. This will help to establish the relationship, which was certainly created, between the nature of pigments, iconography, and symbolism of colors.…”

Les capitales des cités gauloises, simulacra Romae ? by Michel Reddé

“…The archaeological inquiry presented here shows that, at least in Gallia Comata, the rise of new civitas-capitals is not an uniform phenomenon and that several factors played a decisive part in this process: the Protohistoric legacy, which needs to be profoundly re-evaluated in relation to our traditional vision, the dynamic relating to urban development prior to the Conquest, the place of large late Iron Age sanctuaries, the establishment of the new road network which altered the earlier geographical and economic balance, the involvement of local elites, their degree of integration into the new Roman political structures and their wealth which determined their capacity for euergetism. …”
