« Tu n’as rien vu à Constantinople » : Thackeray au pays des harems by Laurent Bury

“…In his Notes of a Journey from Cornhill to Grand Cairo, Thackeray used once again the persona of Michael Angelo Titmarsh, which he had created for Punch. The volume published in 1846 had been preceded by a series of articles in that magazine, under the title « Wandering of our Fat Contributor ». …”

Numérique et humanités : de l’ancillarité à la fécondité grâce à la modélisation computationnelle des connaissances by Yannis Delmas-Rigoutsos

“…Since the end of the 1990s, new tools have been developed for collecting, organising and accessing digital content, including the considerable volume of big data. We plead here for an amplification of the relationship between HSS and computer science, exploiting not only technologies, but also ideas and methods, especially computational thinking. …”

Effective Width of the T-section Flange of Ribbed Slabs by F. S. Zamaliev

“…Ribbed ceilings in reinforced concrete, and more recently in steel-reinforced concrete and wood-concrete versions, occupy a significant place in the total volume of buildings and structures. An analysis of the regulatory and technical literature shows that in domestic and foreign sources, empirical dependencies are proposed for assigning the effective width of a T-section flange, which does not lead to economical and reliable design solutions.The purpose of the study is to determine the calculated effective width of a flange of a tee monolithic section or a composite section of a floor. …”

Thermodynamic Damping in Porous Materials with Spherical Cavities by Sofia D. Panteliou, Andrew D. Dimarogonas

“…When a material is subjected to an alternating stress field, there are temperature fluctuations throughout its volume due to the thermoelastic effect. The resulting irreversible heat conduction leads to entropy production that in turn is the cause of thermoelastic damping. …”

Worm detection and signature extraction based on communication characteristics by XIN Yi1, FANG Bin-xing1, HE Long-tao2, YUN Xiao-chun2, LI Zhi-dong1

“…Worm detection and signature extraction was presented based on analysis of similar communication character-istics,which identifies the distinct communication pattern of worm spread,and evaluates the similarity metric of commu-nication characteristic sets,and detects worms by detecting their infectivity with higher detection precision,generality and adaptability.Based on this,a heuristic detection framework is designed,which eliminates non-worm traffic from protocol,sequence,and content in three levels via blind,intent and lock track,then filters out worm packets and extracts signatures.The technique reduces data collection volume and analysis cost dramatically,and can detection worm and ex-tract signature quickly in the environment with high strength background noise.…”

Identification and Management of Clustered Pellitory (Parietaria praetermissa) in Citrus Groves by Ramdas Kanissery, Biwek Gairhe, Brent Sellers, Steve Futch

“…Inadequate management of this weed can result in its heavy infestation in tree rows and can interrupt the spray pattern of low-volume drip irrigation systems. This new 3-page publication of the UF/IFAS Horticultural Sciences Department will assist Florida citrus growers with proper identification of clustered pellitory and with adoption of adequate and timely strategies to manage this weed in their groves. …”
