Faut-il croire le classement de Shangaï ? by Jean-Charles Billaut, Denis Bouyssou, Philippe Vincke

“…Our main conclusions are that the criteria that are used are not relevant, that the aggregation methodology is plagued by a number of major problems and that the whole exercise suffers from an insufficient attention paid to fundamental structuring issues. Hence, our view is that the Shanghai ranking, in spite of the media coverage it receives, does not qualify as a useful and pertinent tool to discuss the “quality” of academic institutions, let alone to guide the choice of students and family or to promote reforms of higher education systems. …”

Secure performance analysis of WCDMA systems over correlated Nakagami fading channels by Guangqiu LI, Zhanwan WANG, Tingjie REN, Shuaishuai LIU

“…In order to evaluate the security performance of wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) over multiple-input and multiple-output fading channels,a time-saving and efficient solution is theoretical analysis.The exact analytical expressions of the non-zero security capacity probability and the security outage probability of WCDMA systems using space-time block codes and 2D Rake receivers (2D-Rake) on the relevant Nakagami fading channels was deduced.Using the above expressions,the effects of parameters such as the number of transmit and receive antennas,antenna correlation coefficient,Nakagami fading coefficient,and average path attenuation coefficient on the security performance of the WCDMA system could be quickly evaluated.The numerical calculation was in good agreement with the simulation results,which proved the correctness of the above theoretical analysis.The analytical expression of the asymptotic safety outage probability of WCDMA system was deduced.The results show that the security diversity gain of WCDMA system is the sum of the diversity gains on the separable paths of the main channel,and has nothing to do with the eavesdropping channel; the same for the constant multipath intensity profile The Nakagami fading channel is distributed,and the security diversity gain of the WCDMA system is the product of the number of received and transmitted antennas of the primary channel,the number of multipaths,and the Nakagami fading coefficient.…”

La demopsicología de Giuseppe Pitrè, la modernidad y el siglo XX : visiones apocalípticas by Maurizio Coppola

“…However, the rapid social and political transformations at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries led Pitrè to rethink his understanding of folklore and, above all, the relationship between Sicily and the rest of the country. In this article, an attempt is made to highlight how some of Giuseppe Pitrè's last writings lead one to reflect on the apocalyptic link that folklore studies have woven with the concept of modernity, introduced in particular by positivist currents. …”
