Dystopia, surveillance and the spaces of social control in Jenni Fagan’s The Panopticon (2012) by Claire Wrobel

“…The dystopian space par excellence seems to be that delimited by the walls of the Panopticon, here an institution for young delinquents, which finds a counterpoint in the shape of an island utopia, a destination that becomes a symbol of harmony and freedom.

A Novel Kernel for RBF Based Neural Networks by Wasim Aftab, Muhammad Moinuddin, Muhammad Shafique Shaikh

“…Novelty of the proposed work relies on the fact that we have shown that there may be scenarios where the two feature vectors (FV) are more prominently distinguishable via the proposed cosine measure as compared to the conventional ED measure. We discuss adaptive symbol detection for multiple phase shift keying (MPSK) signals as a practical example to show where the angle information can be pivotal which in turn justifies our proposed RBF kernel. …”
