Giveaway. Per un’etnografia del dono nelle communities on line by Federica Scrimieri

“…The genesis of the research is connected to the growth of YouTube from a video platform to an extraordinary detonator of cultural phenomena demonstrated, since its inception in Italy in 2007, by the growing importance of social networking in the opening of new market niches almost contemporary to the new aggregative spaces represented by online communities. The latter are investigated not only through You Tube, but also through the reality of the Facebook groups "I'll give it to you if you come and get it" and similar, that seem to represent the future prospects of the gift on line.…”

A study of value iteration and policy iteration for Markov decision processes in Deterministic systems by Haifeng Zheng, Dan Wang

“…In the context of deterministic discrete-time control systems, we examined the implementation of value iteration (VI) and policy (PI) algorithms in Markov decision processes (MDPs) situated within Borel spaces. The deterministic nature of the system's transfer function plays a pivotal role, as the convergence criteria of these algorithms are deeply interconnected with the inherent characteristics of the probability function governing state transitions. …”

3D Instantaneous Reconstruction of Turbulent Industrial Flames Using Computed Tomography of Chemiluminescence (CTC) by A. Unterberger, M. Röder, A. Giese, A. Al-Halbouni, A. Kempf, K. Mohri

“…The reconstruction used 24 projections that were measured simultaneously, in one plane and equiangularly spaced within a total fan angle of 172.5°. The 3D results were examined by plotting both vertical and horizontal slices, revealing highly wrinkled structures with good clarity. …”

All-Optical 1-to-8 Wavelength Multicasting at 20 Gbit/s Exploiting Self-Phase Modulation in Dispersion Flattened Highly Nonlinear Photonic Crystal Fiber by Zhan-Qiang Hui

“…Based on the self-phase modulation in dispersion flattened highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber and followed spectral filtering, simultaneous 1-to-8 all-optical wavelength multicasting return-to-zero (RZ) signal at 20 Gbit/s with 100 GHz channel spaced is achieved. Wavelength tunable range and dynamic characteristic of proposed wavelength multicasting scheme is further investigated. …”

Le Laboratoire de paysage d’Alnarp en Suède : une expérience de « gestion créative » by Catherine Szanto

“…The research is based on observation, through drawings and measurements, but also on action (“creative management”): the forest is accompanied in its evolution by the traditional gestures of the foresters who provide original forest spaces, thus offering an alternative to a normalisation of the landscape.…”

BIOPOLITICS AND HOMO SACER IN A TORTURE CENTER IN CHILE * by Hugo Rojas Corral

“…The notion of superstes tormentorum (survivor of tortures) is also presented here for further discussion in order to refer to the complex and often painful process in which the ‘victims-survivors-witnesses’ of the horror of Villa Grimaldi and other similar spaces try to reinsert in society.…”

Afrocantharellus gen. stat. nov. is part of a rich diversity of African Cantharellaceae by D.D. Tibuhwa, S. Savić, L. Tibell, A.K. Kivaisi

“…Afrocantharellus is characterized morphologically by the basidiomes having thick, distantly spaced diverging folds of variegated colour. In contrast to most of Cantharellus, Afrocantharellus mostly lacks clamp connections. …”

Decomposition Methods for Solving Finite-Horizon Large MDPs by Bouchra el Akraoui, Cherki Daoui, Abdelhadi Larach, khalid Rahhali

“…Conventional algorithms for solving Markov decision processes (MDPs) become intractable for a large finite state and action spaces. Several studies have been devoted to this issue, but most of them only treat infinite-horizon MDPs. …”

Iterative Construction of Fixed Points for Functional Equations and Fractional Differential Equations by Latif Ur Rahman, Muhammad Arshad, Sabri T. M. Thabet, Imed Kedim

“…This paper proposes some iterative constructions of fixed points for showing the existence and uniqueness of solutions for functional equations and fractional differential equations (FDEs) in the framework of CAT (0) spaces. Our new approach is based on the M∗-iterative scheme and the class of mappings with the KSC condition. …”

Modified Minkowski Fractal Unit Cell for Reflectarrays with Low Sensitivity to Mutual Coupling Effects by Sandra Costanzo, Francesca Venneri, Giuseppe Di Massa

“…The configuration is proposed to preserve the effectiveness of the infinite array approach in those applications requiring reflectarrays with very small interelement spacing. The inherent ability of the proposed geometry to be adopted in highly miniaturized cells is demonstrated through an extensive analysis of mutual coupling effects on reflectarray phase design curves. …”
