Sublime Gaps by Antoine Dechêne

“…Including close readings of Henry James’s “The Figure in the Carpet” (1896) and Samuel Beckett’s Molloy (1951), this essay proceeds to show that the “metaphysical” character of these texts lies predominantly in their lack of faith in language as a reliable tool to convey the multiple and shifting identities of the unsuccessful sleuth confronted with the meaninglessness of his investigation.…”

An energy-efficient multi-channel MAC protocol for linear sensor network by Fei TONG, Rucong SUI, Yu CHEN, Heng SU, Hengrui LIU, Shangfeng SU, Yuke YAN

“…Sensor nodes in linear sensor network (LSN) are deployed linearly due to the linear topology of the monitoring area.Most of the state-of-the-art medium access control (MAC) protocols designed for LSN adopted the duty-cycling and pipelined-forwarding (DCPF) schemes.They can reduce data propagation delay and network energy consumption but may still cause issues such as transmission competition, interference, and energy hole.To address these issues, an improved DCPF MAC protocol was proposed based on multiple channels and redundant-node deployment for LSN.The extensive simulations based on OPNET demonstrate that, compared with existing protocols, the proposed protocol shows a better performance in terms of energy efficiency, packet delivery ratio, throughput, and packet transmission latency.…”

Delay and energy minimization for MEC-based secure communication by Pinyi REN, Qian XU

“…Considering a physical-layer-security-aided confidential document transmission problem,a secure transmission strategy was proposed where the base station equipped with a mobile edge computing (MEC) server served as a relay to help compress,forward,and decompress.First,the Poisson point process was used to calculate the secure transmission probability for the scenario with multiple potential eavesdroppers.Then,a delay and energy minimization problem was formulated under a constraint on the two-hop secure transmission probability.The optimal compression and decompression scheme was obtained using the one-dimensional search combined with linear programming.Simulation results show that the document compression is necessary for the link with small achievable secrecy rate under a given secure transmission probability; otherwise,the document should be directly transmitted without compression.…”
