Information transmission mechanism of Blockchain technology based on named-data networking by Jiang LIU, Ru HUO, Chengcheng LI, Guijin ZOU, Tao HUANG, Yunjie LIU

“…Recent researches on blockchain have been greatly concerned by academia and industry,while the communication based on TCP/IP protocol was not enough for broadcasting a large volume of data in blockchain technology.Therefore,a novel node model supporting push service for blockchain technology and a special procedure reading-writing the table of the node model were designed based on the named-data networking,which was a distributed network architecture supporting data transmission naturally.And then the information transmission architecture of blockchain technology via named-data networking was proposed.With the aggregation of the requests and data caching,this architecture could reduce the traffic redundancy and accelerate the communication speed.Meanwhile,a use case of bitcoin based on the proposed architecture was given,in order to better understand the architecture.A numerical simulation was used to verify the performance advantages of the proposed scheme.In addition,some related future research directions were presented.…”

Censorship v. Freedom of Speech in English-Speaking Countries. Cultural, Political and Historical Perspectives by Nicole Cloarec, Émilie Dardenne

“…Thus, while the terms of this compromise are also problematised and questioned, it has become imperative for a number of academic disciplines such as history, civilisation or philosophy to track down the different practices of censorship, its arguments and its implications. This volume aims precisely at broadening and enriching perspectives to grasp some new possible theoretical underpinnings of the concept.…”

Cardiac Amyloidosis Masquerading as Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy: Co-existence or Coincidence? by Madhu Shukla, Jagdish Chander Mohan

“…Following ICD insertion, in view of some red flags, routine cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed, which showed biventricular hypertrophy, diffuse subendocardial gadolinium enhancement of both the ventricles, prolonged T1 and T2, and left ventricular extracellular volume fraction of 50%. A pyrophosphate scan of the heart was strongly positive both at 1 and 3 h intervals. …”

Numerical modelling of intergranular fracture in polycrystalline materials and grain size effects by M. Paggi, P. Wriggers

“…Using these data, fracture mechanics simulations are performed and the homogenized stress-strain curves of 2D representative volume elements (RVEs) are computed. Failure is the result of a diffuse microcrack pattern leading to a main macroscopic crack after coalescence, in good agreement with the experimental observation. …”
