Jean-Clet Martin, Logique de la science-fiction : de Hegel à Philip K. Dick (2017) by Jean-Loup Héraud

“…Through this confrontation, the aim of the author is to confer new forms of intelligibility to this literary genre, and in an other way to reactualise the hegelian ontological project to write a logic of the world. If science-fiction explores the literary creation of imaginary worlds contradicting the familiar logic of our world, the hegelian logic explores the steps of the deep reality of « Being », « Essence » and finally the « Concept ». …”

Building method of distributed COW disk on network computing environment by Huai-liang TAN, Zheng LUO, Zai-hong HE, Ren-fa LI

“…Aiming to distributed computing and data centralizing storage in large-scale network computing environments and combining sparse and bursting characteristic of COW(copy-on-write) disk storing modified data blocks,the distributed COW network disk architecture was presented.The system building process of network computing environments was speeded up by apportioning the aggregation spending that server manages all related COW disks of client hosts to each client host.A improving 64bit bitmap compress arithmetic was designed to reduce the size of COW disk’s bitmap,so server disk space was saved and the network communication spending of distributed COW disk was less.The modified prefetching arithmetic based on COW bursting blocks was presented to improve the hit rate of Cache relating with distributed COW disk.Experiments on the prototype show that the distributed COW mechanism can effectively reduce system building latency of multi-client hosts network computing environment based on improving COW bitmap compress and prefetching arithmetic.…”

From Savage to Sublime (And Partway Back): Indians and Antiquity in Early Nineteenth-Century American Literature by Mark Niemeyer

“…This article examines the comparisons made between Indians and Antiquity in early nineteenth-century American literature (notably in the works of Washington Irving and James Fenimore Cooper); to do so, it begins by reaching back to references in European and American writings of the eighteenth century.
