CHAT: Clustered hierarchical key management for wireless sensor networks using network topology by Dimitris Tsitsipis, Anthony Tzes, Stavros Koubias

“…This work presents CHAT, a key management scheme based on the well-known logical key hierarchy class of protocols. CHAT exploits topological network information to reduce rekeying costs and tessellates the network into topological clusters, to further localize rekeyings, leading to greater rekeying cost reductions. …”

Microstructural, mechanical, and acoustic analyses of concrete with EPS and silica fume by Victor Gaspar Silva e Silva, Cimark Guimarães Sandes Filho, Andressa Fernanda Angelin, Antonio Ernandes Macedo Paiva, Stella Stopa Assis Palma, Raquel Gonçalves, Rosa Cristina Cecche Lintz, Luísa Andréia Gachet, Edson Jansen Pedrosa de Miranda Jr.

“…In this study, destructive and nondestructive techniques were used to analyze the microstructural, mechanical, and acoustic performances of a concrete produced by the particle packing method, replacing an increasing percentage (5 to 20%) of the coarse aggregate volume by EPS. The mechanical properties decreased, but not enough for the EPS concrete to be considered as non-structural; the microstructure showed disorder in its transition zone, and this disorder was captured by the acoustic analysis. …”

The Smoothness of Fractal Interpolation Functions on ℝ and on p-Series Local Fields by Jing Li, Weiyi Su

“…A fractal interpolation function on a p-series local field Kp is defined, and its p-type smoothness is shown by virtue of the equivalent relationship between the Hölder type space CσKp and the Lipschitz class Lipσ,Kp. The orders of the p-type derivatives and the fractal dimensions of the graphs of Weierstrass type function on local fields are given as an example. …”

The Dream House of American Culture: Archives of the Self, Visions of the Future by Myrto Drizou

“…Using Carmen Maria Machado’s memoir In the Dream House as an example, I show how students are empowered to make meaningful connections between the personal and the political, and how they are encouraged to reflect on their “home” identities, especially with regard to race, class, sexuality, and gender. This text—graphic, raw, and challenging to read—fosters courageous conversations that illustrate what American studies can offer, namely an archive of struggle, a context of representation, and a space of community for our students. …”

Favoriser l’éveil à la démarche philosophique par une pédagogie de l’instant et une réciprocité dans les pratiques réflexives entre enseignants et élèves by Emmanuel Nal

“…By trying to practice it with the teacher and other pupils in the collective-class, the child can live the reciprocity on it: we can learn from each other - by mutual lightings - as we can learn of ourself, when the reflexivity allows us to reflect about our practices and to put into words our hidden knowledges and opinions. …”
