Les Méta-Barons, des cyborgs subversifs ? by Adrien Cascarino

“…To answer this question, this article focuses on the representation of transhuman bodies in La Caste des Méta-Barons, an 8-volume comic strip series written by Alejandro Jodorowsky, drawn by Juan Gimenez and published between 1992 and 2003.The study of this comic strip, contemporary with the beginnings of the transhumanist movement, but above all with the emergence of an ambivalent figure of the cyborg (Haraway, 1984), highlights a certain representation of the posthuman body, which pre-dates current developments on the question.Through the study of the narrative and graphic structure of these albums, this article shows that contrary to appearances, the transhuman bodies of the meta-barons, both cyborg and hybrid, are moving away from the ideal of a divine and all-powerful body and on the contrary blur the line between the augmented body and the disabled body, showing that any physical modification is accompanied by a loss, access to a truly augmented body then passing through the acceptance of this loss.…”

Simulating the Effects of Structural Parameters on the Hydraulic Performances of Venturi Tube by Yanqi Sun, Wenquan Niu

“…The throat contraction ratio was the main factor on the effect of Venturi injector performance, which was positively correlated with outlet velocity, negatively to critical pressure, the minimal in-tube pressure, coefficient of local head loss, and fertilizer absorption ratio. For designing Venturi injector, contraction ratio should be reasonably selected according to the coefficient of local head loss and fertilizer absorption ratio.…”

Multifunctional Carbon Foam with Nanoscale Chiral Magnetic Heterostructures for Broadband Microwave Absorption in Low Frequency by Hao Zhang, Kaili Kuang, Yifeng Zhang, Chen Sun, Tingkang Yuan, Ruilin Yin, Zeng Fan, Renchao Che, Lujun Pan

“…Highlights A novel multifunctional carbon foam with nanoscale chiral magnetic heterostructures is constructed, in which the interconnection network provides strong conduction loss. The interfacial polarization loss induced by the FeNi-carbon interfaces is confirmed by the density functional theory calculations, and the magnetic pinning and coupling effects are revealed by the micromagnetic simulation. …”

Performance analysis of optical differential spatial modulation over atmospheric joint effect by Hui ZHAO, Jin LI, Weiwen MA, Wenchao DENG, Tianqi ZHANG, Yuanni LIU

“…Traditional optical spatial modulation techniques all rely on the premise that the system receiving end can obtain accurate channel state information.The optical differential spatial modulation (ODSM) system effectively avoids complex channel estimation, but related research only analyzes the system performance under a single turbulent state, and ignores the effects of factors such as pointing errors and path loss in actual free space optical communication systems.Therefore, the Málaga turbulence channel, which could characterize all atmospheric turbulence states, was used to derive the upper bound expression and diversity order of the bit error rate of the ODSM system under the atmospheric joint effect such as turbulence, pointing error, and path loss.The analysis results show that compared with other optical spatial modulation schemes, the ODSM system avoids complex channel estimation, making the system no longer affected by channel estimation errors, thus possessing higher anti-interference and stability.The bit error rate performance of the ODSM system decreases as the intensity of turbulence and pointing error increase.By optimizing parameters such as the number of optical antennas, the number of photodetectors, and the modulation signal order, the bit error rate performance of the ODSM system can be further improved.…”

Properties of Full Jet in High-Energy Heavy-Ion Collisions from Parton Scatterings by Guo-Liang Ma, Mao-Wu Nie

“…Jet triangular azimuthal anisotropy coefficient, v3jet, which shows a smaller magnitude than the elliptic coefficient v2jet, decreases more quickly with increasing jet pT, which can be attributed to a path-length effect of jet energy loss. All of these properties of full jet are consistent with the jet energy loss mechanism in a stronglyinteracting partonic matter in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.…”
