Research on the application of weighted-Laguerre-FDTD method with “unidirectional explicit” matrix in cylindrical structure by Dawei ZHU, Hailin CHEN, Zhongwen SHEN, Xiuling JIA, Zhen LI

“…To solve the shortcomings of FDTD algorithm in electromagnetic wave propagation in communication applications.A FDTD algorithm under “unidirectional explicit” matrix was constructed and applied to cylindrical structure.Firstly, a new coefficient matrix was established by the ideology of WCS and WLP.Secondly, the perturbation terms were introduced to form the initial value and iterative equations.Finally, the fields on the z axis were treated in special way.Numerical examples prove that the proposed algorithm is superior to the WCS-FDTD and WLP-FDTD in electromagnetic wave propagation.The best improvement efficiency is 83%, accuracy is 88%, and memory consumption is reduced by 44%.Meanwhile, comparing with the conventional FDTD algorithm, it can improve the efficiency of 7 time steps size and reduce the memory consumption by 53% without losing accuracy.Moreover, under the boundary truncation of the PML, the proposed algorithm also shows good electromagnetic wave energy absorption performance, which can reach below -60 dB.…”

On the System of Place Name Signs in Estonian Sign Language by Liina Paales

“…A place name sign is a linguistic-cultural marker that includes both memory and landscape. The author regards toponymic signs in Estonian Sign Language as representations of images held by the Estonian Deaf community: they reflect the geographical place, the period, the relationships of the Deaf community with hearing community, and the common and distinguishing features of the two cultures perceived by community's members. …”

La fonction mnémonique des cartes à jouer illustrées : Le rôle de la mémoire dans la réception et la diffusion des idées whig à travers le jeu de cartes The Meal Tub Plot (c. 1681)... by Sophie Lambea

“…However, understanding the meaning of these illustrated playing cards is difficult for today’s reader/observer, as Francis Barlow based the narrative of his illustrations on the memory of events that took place at the end of the seventeenth century and knowledge of the historical and cultural context is necessary to fully understand the satirical scope of the playing cards.Besides, The Meal Tub Plot playing cards were not only intended to entertain, but also to help shape public opinion and the collective memory of the English people, thereby facilitating the accession of William of Orange to the throne in 1689.…”

Transcriptional Control of Synaptic Plasticity by Transcription Factor NF-κB by Christian Engelmann, Ronny Haenold

“…Activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) transcription factors is required for the induction of synaptic plasticity and memory formation. All components of this signaling pathway are localized at synapses, and transcriptionally active NF-κB dimers move to the nucleus to translate synaptic signals into altered gene expression. …”

Improved preimage and pseudo-collision attacks on SM3 hash function by Jian ZOU, Le DONG

“…A preimage attack on 32-step SM3 hash function and a pseudo-collision attack on 33-step SM3 hash function respectively were shown.32-step preimage attack was based on the differential meet-in-the-middle and biclique technique,while the previously known best preimage attack on SM3 was only 30-step.The 33-step pseudo-collision attack was constructed by using the same techniques.The preimage attack on 32-step SM3 can be computed with a complexity of 2^254.5,and a memory of 2⁵.Furthermore,The pseudo-preimage and pseudo-collision attacks on 33-step SM3 by extending the differential characteristic of the 32-step preimage attack were present.The pseudo-collision attack on 33-step SM3 can be computed with a complexity of 2^126.7,and a memory of 2³.…”

Survey of FPGA based recurrent neural network accelerator by Chen GAO, Fan ZHANG

“…Recurrent neural network(RNN) has been used wildly used in machine learning field in recent years,especially in dealing with sequential learning tasks compared with other neural network like CNN.However,RNN and its variants,such as LSTM,GRU and other fully connected networks,have high computational and storage complexity,which makes its inference calculation slow and difficult to be applied in products.On the one hand,traditional computing platforms such as CPU are not suitable for large-scale matrix operation of RNN.On the other hand,the shared memory and global memory of hardware acceleration platform GPU make the power consumption of GPU-based RNN accelerator higher.More and more research has been done on the RNN accelerator of the FPGA in recent years because of its parallel computing and low power consumption performance.An overview of the researches on RNN accelerator based on FPGA in recent years is given.The optimization algorithm of software level and the architecture design of hardware level used in these accelerator are summarized and some future research directions are proposed.…”

Astronomy and Climate-Earth System: Can Magma Motion under Sun-Moon Gravitation Contribute to Paleoclimatic Variations and Earth’s Heat? by Zhiren Joseph Wang, Xiaopei Lin

“…Thermodynamic changes resulting from orbital eccentricity, obliquity, and precession have been ascribed as the cause of the variations although processes within the oceans and atmosphere may have too short memory to explain such variations. In this work, the dynamics of Sun-Moon gravitation (SMG) were explored for a rotating Earth and were determined to have a long memory in magma, a mostly ignored geophysical fluid with a mass ~3,400 times that of the atmosphere plus the oceans. …”
