House Vision by Cathelijne Nuijsink

“…The design of the detached house has been at the core of architectural developments in post-Second World War Japan and the subject of a lively discussion among architects about what makes a good home at a particular moment. Alongside the continuous production of houses, architects actively proposed new ways of living that contrasted with what was increasingly becoming a uniform housing stock based on mass fabrication. …”

Identity-based efficient authentication and key agreement protocol for mobile Internet by Zhen WANG, Zhao-feng MA, Shou-shan LUO

“…For the bad computation overhead of bi1inear pairings in e11iptic curve and the prob1ems of certificate management in the PKI，an efficient and secure authentication key agreement protoco1 was proposed based on the identity-based cryptosystem and GDH difficu1t prob1em on the additive group of e11iptic curve.Meanwhi1e，the security of the new protoco1 was proved under the random orac1e mode1.The ana1ysis shows that the new protoco1 meets security properties such as known session key security，perfect forward security，ephemera1 secret 1eakage resistance and the session key escrow resistance.The proposed protoco1 has the good computationa1 overhead for it was ab1e to comp1ete the mutua1 authentication and session key agreement between parties under on1y 5 times sca1ar mu1tip1ication.…”

Observation and Numerical Simulation of Terrain-Induced Windshear at the Hong Kong International Airport in a Planetary Boundary Layer without Temperature Inversions by P. W. Chan, K. K. Hon

“…Moreover, the windshear detection algorithm as applied to the AVM output, called AVM-GLYGA, is able to give advance alert for the occurrence of low-level windshear. The model also offers new dataset, such as vertical velocity and vertical cross sections across the windshear feature, to study the terrain-induced windshear phenomena with new insights. …”

Effects of coarse sand dosage on the physic-mechanical behavior of sand concrete by Saloua Melais, Meriem Fakhreddine Bouali, Ahmed Melaikia, Amine Amirat

“…The development and research of a new formulation of concrete integrating natural resources such as sands (from dunes and/or quarries) as well as waste from steel factories in the form of granulated slag from blast furnaces lead to the development of new sand concretes for which the improvement of specific properties will lead to a search for an agreement between production cost and performance. …”

Engaging Political Pentecostalism: A Probe into the Political Theology of a Post-Confessional Christian Network by Leandro Luis Bedin Fontana

“…The phenomenon conceptualized in this paper as political pentecostalism is described as a post-confessional Christian network of religious leaders and megachurches that has transformed the political scene on a global scale in the last decades. This new development represents a point of inflection in many respects within the trajectory of modern societies, particularly in the Global South, and adds new challenges to the already vexed relation between religion and civil society. …”

Method for generating pseudo random numbers based on cellular neural network by Li-hua DONG, Guo-li YAO

“…To overcome the degradation characteristics of chaos system due to finite precision effect and improve the sta-tistical performance of the random number,a new method based on 6th-order cellular neural network (CNN) was given to construct a 64-bit pseudo random number generation (PRNG).In the method,the input and output data in every iteration of 6th-order CNN were controlled to improved the performance of the random number affected by chaos degradation.Then the data were XORed with a variable parameter and the random sequences generated by a Logistic map,by which the repeat of generated sequences was avoided,and the period of output sequences and the key space were expended.Be-sides,the new method was easy to be realized in the software and could generate 64 bit random numbers every time,thus has a high generating efficiency.Test results show that the generated random numbers can pass the statistical test suite NIST SP800-22 completely and thus has good randomness.The method can be applied in secure communication and other fields of information security.…”

Communicating Museums: A Textual Analysis of Content and Interaction Management by Monica Bira

“…Museums, through their institutional discourses, are playing an important but sometimes neglected role in enforcing social practices and creating social identities. With the new digital era, museums had to adapt to new forms of communication: in an environment that, at least, gives everybody an equal voice, museums managed to communicate themselves without renouncing their position of depositaries of knowledge and authority. …”
