Functionality and values of the future subjunctive in Portuguese relative clauses by Francisco José Fidalgo Enríquez

“…In Portuguese subordinate relative clauses, the indicative and subjunctive modes can be used depending on whether or not the speaker assumes the existence of a specific or unspecific reality in relation to the referent. By virtue of these elements, the indicative is usually associated with the specific interpretation and the subjunctive with the unspecific. …”

Design and implementation of wireless multimedia sensor network node based on DSP and binocular vision by Yun-zhou ZHANG, Pei JIANG, Liang GAO, Li-qiang LI

“…In order to meet the requirement of multimedia information acquisition in wireless sensor network,a new wire-less multimedia sensor node is designed and implemented with the high-performance DSP processor as the core.ZigBee module is used to implement the wireless communication.In virtue of the powerful computing ability and peripheral in-terfaces of DSP processor,the multimedia node owns binocular vision and various sensors such as accelerometer.There-fore,it can attain the real-time perception of environmental information and acquire image/video data.Based on the Zig-Bee protocol,the sensor is able to fulfill short-distance wireless communication and monitoring duty in indoor environ-ment.Experimental results show that the multimedia sensor node designed can accurately obtain and handle the syntheti-cal sensing data in real time.It is suitable for the application of wireless multimedia sensor network.…”

The Iterative Positive Solution for a System of Fractional q-Difference Equations with Four-Point Boundary Conditions by Chuanzhi Bai, Dandan Yang

“…In this work, we investigate the following system of fractional q-difference equations with four-point boundary problems: Dqαut+ft,vt=0,0<t<1;Dqβvt+gt,ut=0,0<t<1;u0=0,u1=γ1uη1; and v0=0,v1=γ2uη2, where Dqα and Dqβ are the fractional Riemann–Liouville q-derivative of order α and β, respectively, 0<q<1, 1<β≤α≤2, 0<η1,η2<1, 0<γ1η1α−1<1, and 0<γ2η2β−1<1. By virtue of monotone iterative approach, the iterative positive solutions are obtained. …”

UAV deployment and caching scheme based on user preference prediction by Jiazhi REN, Hui TIAN, Shaoshuai FAN, Yuanzhuo LIN, Gaofeng NIE, Jilong LI

“…In order to design an efficient edge caching policy considering spatial heterogeneity and temporal fluctuations of users’ content requests,a proactive caching scheme was proposed with UAV’s deployment location design based on user preference prediction.Firstly,each user’s preference characteristics were predicted based on file similarity and user similarity,and the request time and user location were also predicted when a content request occurs.Thereafter,on the basis of the predicted geographical location,request time and user preference,each UAV’s deployment location and the corresponding content placement were determined by virtue of clustering method based on SOM and AGNES.Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms other three comparison schemes in terms of hit ratio and transmission delay.Furthermore,the results also reveal that content preference is correlated with different user features by different weights.Accordingly,different impact weights should be matched with different user features.…”

Sofística e Retórica no Górgias de Platão by Daniel R. N. Lopes

“…The general idea pursued in this essay is that rhetoric integrates the sophistic education represented paradigmatically by Protagoras as a necessary means for the citizen to take part in the deliberative institutions of a democratic city (Counsel and Assembly), whereas in the case of Gorgias rhetoric – and more specifically, the judiciary species – consists in the end itself of his pedagogical activity, and not as a means to a wider moral and intellectual education – that is to say, the teaching of political art, identified with moral virtue in Plato’s Protagoras.…”
