Texte, trame, signe : les ficelles de l’art selon Dante Gabriel Rossetti by Laurence Roussillon-Constanty

“…The aim of this article is to question or reassert this view by uncovering the Dantean subtext that informs the 1874 version of the painting and deciphering the coded message it contains. The point is to show that beyond the personal context of its creation and through the model of Dante’s Divine Comedy, Rossetti is pushing the limits of both forms of art—painting and poetry—thereby creating a new aesthetics where text and image merge into a musical form, where the work of art is an endless dialogue of the soul with itself.…”

ANDROGYNY IN THE CONTEXT OF CURRENT VISUAL FASHION SPACE: PHILOSOPHICAL AND CULTUROLOGICAL ASPECT by А. M. Tormakhova

“…It was emphasized that during the last century androgyny also serves as the basis for forming new trends in theoretical discourse, in particular, transfeminism, as well as it finds many visual manifestations in fashion and fashion industry. Conclusions contain the results of the study that describes the role of androgyny in the context of today’s culture as a measurement of personal freedom, aimed at avoiding gender stereotypes and the usual dichotomy of masculinity and femininity, which manifests itself in contemporary visual practices.…”

Covert communication method of blockchain network based on transaction construction and forwarding mechanism by Lizhi XIONG, Rong ZHU, Zhangjie FU

“…Aiming at the problems of multiple copies and permanent storage of the transactions containing secret information in the existing storage-based covert communication schemes in blockchain network, as well as the issue of low hidden capacity of the existing time-based schemes, a covert communication method of blockchain network based on transaction construction and forwarding mechanism was proposed.First, an invalid transaction was created by the sender with the help of the transaction construction mechanism, and the secret information was embedded in it, and then the transaction forwarding mechanism was used to send the invalid transaction to the neighbor nodes to form a covert communication channel model, enabling that the transactions containing secret information were spread between nodes and did not exist in the blockchain ledger, so as to achieve the purpose of information concealment and safe transmission.Experimental results show that the transmission capacity of the proposed method is higher than that of the existing schemes, and the single communication time is reduced to 2.5 s.…”

Research on channel-fixed delay error estimation of wideband digital array radar by Xiaobei ZHANG, Quan ZHANG, Ming FANG, Kun QIN, Qi ZHANG

“…A channel-fixed delay error estimation method was proposed to tackle the performance degradation of digital beamforming caused by the channel-fixed delay error of wideband digital array radar.First, the integer part of the fixed delay of the channel was estimated through the correlation integral peak of the baseband transmitted signal and the baseband received signal containing unknown delay parameters.Then, the fractional part of the fixed delay of the channel was estimated with parabolic interpolation by using the correlation peak and its adjacent two points.Finally, the multi-channel fixed delay error was calculated and compensated.The simulation results show that the multi-channel fixed delay estimation of wideband digital array radar can be realized on Xilinx xcku115.The estimative precision can reach 0.001～0.014 times the sampling gap when the signal-to-noise ratio of the input signal is 10～30 dB.The proposed method can meet the engineering application requirements and improve the performance of digital beamforming in wideband digital array radar.…”
