Les caractères originaux de la géographie de la France by Jean-Robert Pitte

“…It has always been divided between centrifugal and centripetal forces, between the concern to respect regional diversity and the state and geographic centralization of which Paris is the powerful symbol. The opening onto three seas and oceans and its position as European finisterre, as well as its Roman and Christian heritage, made France an extroverted country, open to multiple external influences and eager to shine in Europe and in the world.…”

Introduction. Palmyre-Tadmor : le patrimoine culturel en guerre by Sylvie Crogiez-Pétrequin

“…After its instrumentalization by the Syrian Baathist regime, the destruction by Daech of Palmyra’s archaeological heritage, perceived as a symbol of both Western civilization and the national identity of the Syrian state, is thus destined to shock Westerners, just as the use of Palmyra was envisaged by the Syrian state in the construction of the Syrian national novel.…”

Joint channel estimation and ICI cancellation algorithm for pilot-assisted OFDM systems by JIANG Qi 1, ZHAO Chun-ming 1, JIA Peng 1

“…The inter-carrier interference caused by double-selective channels in OFDM systems was analyzed.An OFDM channel estimation method with new pilot structure was also proposed,based on which the channel estimation in time domain and the ICI cancellation could be done within one OFDM symbol.The simulation results show that the proposed joint channel estimation and ICI cancellation algorithm can provide more accurate channel information,and improve system performance apparently.…”

Pruning automatic sphere decoding algorithm and performance analysis by LI Ying, WEI Ji-bo

“…A pruning automatic sphere decoding（PASD） algorithm was presented to reduce the complexity and keep the efficiency of ASD simultaneously.The proposed algorithm efficiently reduced the size of the border node list in ASD by statistical pruning,and obtained the tradeoff between the performance of symbol error ratio（SER） and complexity by setting reasonable parameter’s values.Analysis and simulation show that for a higher level（more than 4） modulation,PASD is able to reduce the number of comparisons by at least 30% as compared to ASD without much penalty of the performance in the same SNR region.…”

Study on separated double pulse position modulation and its performance by XU Zhi-yong1, SHEN Lian-feng1, WANG Jing-yuan2, LIU Ye2

“…Separated double pulse position modulation（SDPPM） in wireless ultraviolet communication was presented.The structure of the SDPPM was described in detail.Requirements of the power and the bandwidth for SDPPM were analyzed and the BER was derived.Then these performances were compared with modulation of equal slots,such as OOK,PPM and MPPM.The results show that the SDPPM achieves better compromise between power requirement and bandwidth requirement,and the SDPPM has better performance in anti-multipath dispersion in ultraviolet communication because of its symbol structure.…”

60 ans d’Union Indienne ? by Dalal Benbabaali

“…After 60 years of Independence, India is projecting herself as a symbol of « unity in diversity ». Though the democratic institutions, the developmental efforts and the policy of reservations have promoted national integration, the rhetoric of Indian unity, rooted in the freedom movement, tends to ignore the factors of divisiveness created by social and regional inequality. …”

Video compression and encryption coding scheme based on zero tree by ZHANG Rong, ZHU Zhi-chao, YIN Dong, LIU Zheng-kai

“…According to the security of the scalable video stream,an integrated video compression-encryption scheme was proposed.The scheme chooses wavelet transform as the compression platform,encrypts the zero-tree symbol during the zero-tree generation process to guarantee the security of the video.Furthermore,a multiple levels encryption was proposed to satisfy different consumers’ requirement.It is proved that the scheme kept the scalability of the encoding,has high security,and small impact on compression efficiency,so it is suitable for real-time video transferring on the network.…”

The Dionysian theme reverberates throughout Machen’s fiction, where the double-natured god may induce either debasement or elevation. …”

Autocorrelation based channel estimation method for space-time block coding system by YING Ren-dong, XU Guo-zhi

“…An autocorrelation based method was proposed to estimate the channel of the space-time block coding（STBC） system.It is shown that when the inputted symbol vector is spatially white,the autocorrelation of the received signal has specific structure due to the orthogonal property of STBC system.From the eigenvector of the autocorrelation matrix,the channel information can be estimated up to a scalar.When the autocorrelation matrix satisfies certain condition,the esti-mation procedure could be further simplified and the channel was obtained directly from the autocorrelation matrix without any matrix inverse or decomposition operation.…”
