La taupe et le serpent. Discipline et contrôle dans les tribunaux pour enfants aux États-Unis (xxe-xxie siècles) by Guillaume Périssol

“…Furthermore, what remains of the disciplinary society described by Michel Foucault when he proposed the prison as the analogic model for the enclosed milieux used for containing people in modern times? Our hypothesis is that the invention of a probationary system to manage increasing numbers of deviants reveals a shift from disciplinary societies to societies of control, as envisaged by Gilles Deleuze in 1990.…”

Prediction of Metal Ion Binding Sites in Proteins from Amino Acid Sequences by Using Simplified Amino Acid Alphabets and Random Forest Model by Suresh Kumar

“…Computational prediction using machine learning approach has been widely used in various fields of bioinformatics based on the fact all the information contains in amino acid sequence. In this study, random forest machine learning prediction systems were deployed with simplified amino acid for prediction of individual major metal ion binding sites like copper, calcium, cobalt, iron, magnesium, manganese, nickel, and zinc.…”

Analysis and Semantic Mining in Heterogeneous Information Network by Rui Wang, Zhiqiang Zhang, Chuan Shi

“…Heterogeneous information network（HIN），which is composed of different types of objects and links，has gradually become a hot topic in social network analysis.As a unique characteristic of HIN，meta path contains rich semantic information.Heterogeneous information network with values on links are ubiquitous in real world.Therefore，the traditional meta path，which doesn’t consider weight on links，can not exactly capture semantics in many cases.Related concepts of HIN were introduced and a brief introduction of applications of HIN was given.Then subtle semantic information in HIN was explored by extending the traditional meta path to weighted meta path.Experiments on two real data sets demonstrate the applications of the weighted meta path in recommendation，relevance search.…”

Markov prediction based handover in dynamic ultra dense network by Qingmin MENG, Yuanyuan ZHAO, Wenjing YUE, Yulong ZOU, Xiaoming WANG

“…In order to solve the problem of the communication and computational problems of large-scale machine communication in an ultra-dense cellular network,a Markov prediction based handover scheme (MPHS) was proposed.Firstly,a kind of heterogeneous network design with semi-structure and central control was considered which contains the densely deployed virtual nodes and thus realized a low cost and efficient coverage.The network can dynamically adjust the access point according to the user's mobility and network traffic.Secondly,a Markov model was constructed,and the idea of load-aware was introduced.By weighing the signal quality and the cell load,the user's next optimal access point was effectively predicted.The simulation results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme for cell handover predicting.…”
