Les configurations de l'espace économique et la crise politique en Belgique by Christian Vandermotten

“…This can only be understood with reference to the country’s economic structures and their long-term trend. The community ideology prevailing in Flanders was developed as a reaction to the secular crisis of the Flemish economy, from the mid-19th Century to the inter-war, and to the arrogance of the French-speaking national and Flemish upper class of that time. …”

Research on Freeze-thaw Resistance of High-strength Porous Concrete by NIE Qingnian, YANG Yongmin, LIU Xiaofei, LI Haibo, LYU Kai

“…Because porous concrete is feature with a large pore structure and porosity,the freezing of water enriched in the pores in winter will have a greater impact on the performance of porous concrete.This paper puts forward the test method and evaluation index of the freeze-thaw resistance of porous concrete with reference to those of ordinary concrete,and systematically studies the effect of fly ash,slag,silica fume,fine sand and crack-resistant fiber on the freeze-thaw resistance of porous concrete.The results show that:The compressive strength of the prepared porous concrete is about 30.2~35.6 MPa for 28 days.The addition of fly ash,fine sand and fiber alone has no effect on the freeze-thaw resistance of porous concrete.Silica fume is beneficial to improve the freeze-thaw resistance.After adding 10% silica fume,when the number of cycles reaches 60,the dynamic elastic modulus can reach 66.8%,the mass loss rate is only 0.35%,and the freeze-thaw resistance index is 12.58.The porous concrete contains more connected pores,but it may still be damaged by volume expansion after water freezes.However,after adding silica fume,the freeze-thaw resistance of slurry is improved by increasing the amount of C-S-H gel,enhancing the adhesion between the interface and strengthening the interface.…”

Real-time diagnosis of multi-category skin diseases based on IR-VGG by Ling TAN, Shanshan RONG, Jingming XIA, Sarker SAJIB, Wenjie MA

“…Malignant skin lesions have a very high cure rate in the early stage.In recent years, dermatological diagnosis research based on deep learning has been continuously promoted, with high diagnostic accuracy.However, computational resource consumption is huge and it relies on large computing equipment in hospitals.In order to realize rapid and accurate diagnosis of skin diseases on Internet of things (IoT) mobile devices, a real-time diagnosis system of multiple categories of skin diseases based on inverted residual visual geometry group (IR-VGG) was proposed.The contour detection algorithm was used to segment the lesion area of skin image.The convolutional block of the first layer of VGG16 was replaced with reverse residual block to reduce the network parameter weight and memory overhead.The original image and the segmented lesion image was inputed into IR-VGG network, and the dermatological diagnosis results after global and local feature extraction were outputed.The experimental results show that the IR-VGG network structure can achieve 94.71% and 85.28% accuracy in Skindata-1 and Skindata-2 skin diseases data sets respectively, and can effectively reduce complexity, making it easier for the diagnostic system to make real-time skin diseases diagnosis on IoT mobile devices.…”
