“Like journeying through a painting”: Travel Writing and the Exploration of Textual Boundaries in Rachel Cusk’s The Last Supper by Isabelle RANNOU

“…The author, who chooses a landmark of aestheticism as her destination, sets out to ponder the subtle relation between creation (through repeated references to the history of art) and the representation of the everyday. Punctuating the written recollection of the travels, several reproductions of paintings and holiday snapshots seem to prolong Cusk’s attempt to capture the transitory nature of the ordinary while allowing the reader to assess the respective powers of the narrative and its visual illustrations to do so. …”

Complexity control method of random forest based HEVC by Peng WEN, Zongju PENG, Fen CHEN, Gangyi JIANG, Mei YU

“…High efficiency video coding (HEVC) has high computational complexity,and fast algorithm cannot perform video coding under restricted coding time.Therefore,a complexity control method of HEVC based on random forest was proposed.Firstly,three random forest classifiers with different prediction accuracy were trained to provide various coding configurations for coding tree unit (CTU).Then,an average depth-complexity model was built to allocate CTU complexity.Finally,the CTU coding configuration,determined by the smoothness,average depth,bit,and CTU-level accumulated coding error,was used to complete complexity control.The experimental results show that the proposed method has better complexity control precision,and outperforms the state-of-the-art method in terms of video quality.…”

The Iconic Word: The Theological and Rhetorical Sources of a New Ut Pictura Poesis by Anne-Marie Miller-Blaise

“…Written in a period following the iconoclast English Reformation and at a time when the humanist faith in the imitative powers of the artist was starting to splinter, their poetry substitutes a new form of visual materiality for the failing art of mimesis. Interestingly, it may help to account for the sense of awe and reverence we still experience when we behold a poem inscribed within the white “temple” of the page.…”
