A Dinner Engagement (1954) de Lennox Berkeley : un opéra-bouffe anachronique ? by Jean-Philippe Heberlé

“…A Dinner Engagement’s musical language is essentially tonal and the structure of the work is akin to a number opera. Musically speaking, the opera of the British composer is closer to some operas by Britten, Menotti and Poulenc than to works by Berg, Schoenberg and the composers of the European avant-garde of the 1960s. …”

General Design and Layout of Datengxia Hydropower Station by ZHANG Xiao, YIN Shaoqing

“…Datengxia hydropower station is a riverbed power station with a low water head and large flow.It is installed with eight 200 MW axial-flow paddle turbine generating sets,with an average annual generating capacity of 6.055 billion kW·h,which makes early and remarkable economic benefits of generating sets possible.The buildings in the station mainly include the main engine room,installation room,outgoing line yard,sand retaining barrier,and drift retaining row.In combination with the construction diversion,the station adopts a left-and-right bank layout scheme and employs measures to optimize the prestressed reinforced concrete spiral case and layers and blocks in structural design,so as to minimize the project's total construction period and ensure the earliest power generation of the first set.The layout scheme and the optimal design of the station can provide a reference for other similar engineering designs.…”

Application of Rainfall Stochastic Simulation Based on Copula Function in Ancient Yellow River Basin by PAN Qixin, LI Fan, LIU Ping, LI Chunxiu

“…Taking the monthly rainfall data of the three hydrological stations,namely Suqian Station at the upper reaches,Liulaojian Station at the middle reaches,and Xinyuan Station at the lower reaches of the ancient Yellow River in Suqian City,Jiangsu Province for 39 years (1980—2018) as the example,this paper conducts the stochastic simulation of monthly rainfall based on the Copula function,establishes the joint distribution of monthly rainfall for two of 3 stations,realizes the stochastic simulation of monthly rainfall of the three stations by Gibbs sampling,and verifies the effectiveness of the simulation prediction by comparing the measured and simulated monthly rainfall.The results show that there is a strong correlation between the rainfall in the upper,middle and lower reaches.The two-dimensional Copula function can effectively establish the correlation structure between adjacent stations in the study area,and serve for the stochastic simulation of rainfall in the basin,which provides a reference for its application in other basins.…”

Session topic mining for interactive text based on conversational content by Jie PENG, Yongge SHI, Shengbao GAO

“…Traditional theme mining model generally digs out the document theme from the interactive text only.In order to explore the session topic and improve the universality of mining model,a kind of interactive text session topic generation model based on the content of the dialogue was put forward.Firstly,by analyzing the characteristics of interactive text and based on the concept of topic tree,a dialog spanning tree was defined with a five-layer structure.Based on this and LDA,the model of session topic generation(ST-LDA)was built.At last,Gibbs sampling method was adopted to deduce the ST-LDA and obtaining session topic and its distribution probability.The results show that the ST-LDA model can dig out a session topic effectively from the interactive text.Besides,the results can reduce the complexity of the classification algorithm and can be back to the theme—participants association.It also has a good universality.…”

Multi-scale guided filtering integrated with superpixel and patch shift by Jianwu LONG, Jiangzhou ZHU

“…In order to avoid the phenomenon that edges were easily blurred during filtering, a multi-scale guided filtering integrated with superpixel and patch shift was proposed.Firstly, the bilateral filtering was applied to an input image to get more accurate superpixel regions.Then, the overlapping was used as the final filtering region, which was formed by the local window and the superpixel.The local window was selected by a metric function so that it did not contain edge information as much as possible.Finally, a small-scale window was used to preserve the edges, and then the window scale was increased for iterative guided filtering.The final filtering output was calculated by fusing the results of different window scales to smooth details while preserving the structural edges.Additionally, the evaluation index of filtering results quality was proposed and compared in different algorithms.The proposed algorithm has stronger edge preservation ability and can obtain better filtering effectiveness than other algorithms.…”
