Reviving/Revising “Lycidas”: Virginia Woolf’s Elegy to Unborn Poets in A Room of One’s Own by Marie Laniel

“…To offer an alternative to the canonical, androcentric configuration of pastoral elegy, Woolf symbolically untwines the wreath of artistic consecration, woven in the opening lines of “Lycidas,” and returns the image of the laurel crown to its metamorphic instability: the flight of Daphne as unlimited creative potential and endless pursuit.…”

Persistent Gender and Racial Hierarchies: Marriage Migration and Mixedness in Morocco from the French Protectorate to the Present by Catherine Therrien, Catherine Phipps

“…We argue that in post-independence Morocco, mixed marriages are no longer considered a threat to political power but that they still reveal the existence of persistent racial and gender symbolic boundaries. Indeed, social perception of mixed couples has shifted from a fear of neo-imperialism to a feeling of opportunities in a globalized world, but gender and racial hierarchies still prevail as significant symbolic boundaries that shape mixed couples and attitudes towards them.…”

Low complexity algorithm for PAPR reduction in GFDM system by Jianhui CAI, Guangqiu LI, Jingjie SHEN

“…In order to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and the implementation complexity of generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) system, the TSLM algorithm based on T-transform and selective mapping (SLM) was proposed.The design idea of the TSLM algorithm was to use the SLM algorithm to increase the number of GFDM time-domain alternative signals to reduce the PAPR, and to use the T-transform to realize the joint operation of the Walsh-Hadamard transform and the inverse discrete Fourier transform to reduce the complexity of the system.To further reduce the PAPR of the GFDM system, the TCSLM algorithm combining the TSLM algorithm and the conversion vector (CV) was proposed, and the CV vector was used to increase the number of GFDM time-domain alternative signals.The results show that when the number of subcarriers is 64, the number of sub symbols is 3 and the number of phase sequences is 2, compared with the SLM algorithm, the implementation complexity of the TSLM and TCSLM algorithm decreases by about 21.9% and 60.9%, respectively.When the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) is 10^-3, the PAPR of the TSLM and TCSLM algorithm decreases by about 0.6 dB and 1 dB, respectively.The error performance of the TSLM and the TCSLM algorithm is improved by about 2 dB when the bit error rate is 10^-3.…”
