Routing algorithm based on location optimization of sink node in hybrid wireless sensor networks by Sai ZOU, Wen-yong WANG, Yong TANG, Jun ZHANG

“…The data acquisition nodes in hybrid wireless sensor network usually suffer high energy consumption of data transmission and high ratio of packet loss. This issue is closely related to the position of data aggregation nodes (sink nodes) and can be improved by optimizing the location of these nodes. …”

Merwin’s Prose Poetry: Collective Memory in Uncanny Short Fiction by Françoise Palleau-Papin

“…Using syntax and repetition to suggest the repressed in prose poetry, and borrowing from several literary traditions such as a revised allegorical storytelling, Merwin emphasizes the memory loss by giving it a puzzling form. In so doing, he manages to invite readers to connect the pieces of an unsettling world to make sense of the irretrievable, in a joint effort to read the loss as collective rather than personal.…”

T118M Variant of PMP22 Gene Presents with Painful Peripheral Neuropathy and Varying Charcot-Marie-Tooth Features: A Case Series and Review of the Literature by Kwo Wei David Ho, Nivedita U. Jerath

“…Several studies have suggested that it may be autosomal recessive, partial loss of function, or a benign variant. Here we report three cases in further support that the T118M variant of the PMP22 gene is a partial loss of function variant. …”

Research of channel quantization and feedback strategies based on multiuser diversity MIMO-OFDM systems by LIANG Xue-jun, ZHU Guang-xi, SU Gang, WANG De-sheng

“…Firstly, a quantization method was proposed by quantized value indicating the modulation level instead of the full values of channel quality information（CQI） and the achievable average spectrum efficiency showed no loss compared with perfect case.Secondly, employment of the integrated design that combined with opportunistic, best, and hybrid feedback scheme was considered and the close-form expression of average spectrum efficiency was deduced in various case.Finally, the calculation of optimal feedback parameters was confirmed from two aspects of feedback channel capacity and capacity relative loss.Extensive simulations were presented to evaluate these proposed strategies.The results match with the numeral analysis very well.The proposed partial feedback schemes can reduce the feedback load greatly with the same system capability, only if the feedback parameters be chosen properly.Wherein, the hybrid feedback combined with quantization performs best and provides the instruction to design the channel feedback of practical systems.…”

Texte/image/manuscrit : une relation problématique ? by Elena Koroleva

“…In the first part I explore the practice of cutting out images in several manuscripts, which contributes to the emancipation of the miniature as an object. The loss of illuminations, resulting sometimes in the loss of whole folios, may hinder the recognition of a manuscript’s place within the tradition, as evidenced by the case of Arras, Bibliothèque municipale, 1043, largely ignored by scholars despite the fact that it preserves what is probably the original iconographic cycle of the chronicle. …”

Forest based data collection in MR-MC wireless sensor networks by Wei-ping ZHANG, Ya-hong GUO, Meng WANG, Lin-yu NI, Jin-bao LI

“…The limit of node itself and deployment environment of WSN result in the node was prone to failure and diffi-cult to maintain.In the tree-based data collection process,the node failure or lin congestion could result in higher com-munication delay,or even data loss.To solve this problem,a strategy for data collection was proposed which used forest as the routing structure.Firstly,an algorithm for the construction of forest was proposed,and then collect data through trees in the forest.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that,the method could reduce the loss of data in the data collection process effectively,in the case of 25 fault nodes,the amount of data collected by forest routing structure of 3 trees compared to the amount of data collected from the connected dominating set is more than 55%,and reduce the la-tency of data collection.…”
