The microstructure and texture effects on fatigue behavior of AZ31B magnesium induced by pre-strain along radial direction by Guosheng Duan, Jinze Du, Linghui Song, Wenhan Jin, Naifu Zou, Xinghao Du

“…This was primarily attributed to strain hardening caused by accumulation of dislocations and an appropriate amount of residual extension twins in the deformed structure. When pre-strain exceeds 4%, fatigue life were shortened as compared with that free of compressional pre-strain. …”

Pratiques religieuses dans un sanctuaire véliocasse : les Mureaux à Authevernes (Eure) by Myriam Michel, Yves-Marie Adrian, Jean-Marc Doyen, Alice Hanotte, Tarek Oueslati, Nicolas Roudié

“…They also permitted some reflections on its status and gave the opportunity to study different traces of cult activity highlighted into the sanctuary: banquets, sacrifices, ritual pits, sediments… These vestiges are diverse and sometimes hard to interpret, but it seems this place was a small rural sanctuary, linked to one or several villae and structured in several cultual activity places. There remains the question of Gallic presence under the sanctuary and of its precise nature.…”

Massive unsourced multiple access scheme based on block sequence codebook and compressed sensing by Jing ZHANG, Lin MA, Chulong LIANG, Hongxu GAO

“…A massive unsourced multiple access scheme based on block sequence codebook and compressed sensing was proposed for sporadic burst scenario in massive machine type communication (mMTC).Firstly, a large-capacity spreading codebook generation scheme was designed according to a specific shift pattern, thus the codebook space was expanded.Secondly, the sparse structure of uplink signal was combined with multi-carrier technology to support overlapping transmission of multi-user data on some subcarriers, thus the spectral efficiency was improved.Finally, a multi-carrier CS-MUD model was established, and a group orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm based on codebook sequence blocks was designed to achieve the joint detection of active users and their uplink data.Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively reduce the bit error rate of massive random access.…”
