OLD RUSSIAN SUBORDINATE CLAUSE WITH A PARTICIPLE AS THE ONLY PREDICATIVE: A DIACHRONIC ASPECT by Boris V. Kunavin

“…Its relevance is expressed in the great importance of these constructions, in understanding the originality of Old Russian syntax in general and the features of the evolution of the syntactic functions of nominal active participles on the way of their transformation into gerunds in particular, and in the inconsistency of linguistic interpretation of their structure, functions, and genesis by various researchers. The study aims at providing comprehensive description of syntactic constructions with a nominal active participle as the only predicative and determination of the dynamics of their use throughout the history of the Russian language, starting with the written tradition up to the 18th century. …”

User Behavior Traffi c Replay Technology for Space-IntegratedGround Information Network Based on Profi le Analyzing by Qingsong XUE, Xiaofeng WANG

“…Faced the needs of user behavior emulation of the space-integrated-ground information network with complex behaviors and diverse protocols, an architecture based on cloud computing and virtualization technologies for replaying user behavior traffi c in the spaceintegrated-ground information network was designed.Furthermore, a user behavior traffi c automatic analysis and traffi c profi le generation technology based on deep packet inspection, and a user behavior traffi c replay technology of the space-integrated-ground information network based on traffi c profi le were researched, to achieve unifi ed, automated, and realistic simulation of miscellaneous kinds of user behavior traffi c.An emulation scenario of a space-integrated-ground information network with 6 space-based backbone network satellites and 66 space-based access network satellites was constructed.The experimental verifi cation of protocol traffi c profi le generation and traffi c replay of the broadband user behavior and narrow-band user behavior showed that the emulation of diversifi ed user interaction behaviors could provide eff ective support for the emulation of the space-integrated-ground information network.…”

A Continuous Deviation-Flow Location Problem for an Alternative-Fuel Refueling Station on a Tree-Like Transportation Network by Sang Jin Kweon, Seong Wook Hwang, Jose A. Ventura

“…These problems can be classified depending on the set of candidate sites: when a (finite) set of candidate sites is predetermined, the problem is called discrete; when stations can be located anywhere along the network, the problem is called continuous. Most researchers have focused on the discrete version of the problem, but solutions to the discrete version are suboptimal to its continuous counterpart. …”
