Le traducteur et les italiques. Omniscience et redressement dans Madame Bovary by Sophie Sarrazin

“…As an emphatic device, the italics contribute to the sentence structure, just like grandiloquence does, from a rhetorical or a syntactical point of view.The large number of passages in italics in Flaubert’s novel has been discussed for a long time. Flaubert’s italics have been regularly considered as a means of pointing out the social discourse or the famous “received idea”. …”

Control of Discrete Event Systems by Means of Discrete Optimization and Disjunctive Colored PNs: Application to Manufacturing Facilities by Juan-Ignacio Latorre-Biel, Emilio Jiménez-Macías, Mercedes Pérez de la Parte, Julio Blanco-Fernández, Eduardo Martínez-Cámara

“…The resulting tools produce excellent results in certain cases; however, the NP-hard nature of many discrete control or decision making problems in the manufacturing area may require unaffordable computational resources, constrained by the limited available time required to obtain a solution. With the purpose of improving the efficiency of a control methodology for discrete systems, based on a simulation-based optimization and the Petri net (PN) model of the real discrete event dynamic system (DEDS), this paper presents a strategy, where a transformation applied to the model allows removing the redundant information to obtain a smaller model containing the same useful information. …”
