Impact of MA Temporary Storage Process on the Reduction of Final Disposal Burden in the Advanced Nuclear Fuel Cycle by Okamura Tomohiro, Nasase Masahiko, Takeshita Kenji, Shimada Takashi, Konishi Yuki, Nishimura Keisuke, Ishida Hitomi, Yamamura Tomoo

“…In this study, we evaluated the introduction of a temporary MA storage process to bridge the time gap between the early introduction of MA separation and the deployment of FR with adequate transmutation capacity. The results showed that the MA temporary storage process effectively mitigates the burden of final disposal and MA temporary storage allows the amount of recovered MA to be managed independently of the FR capacity.…”

Hybrid data synchronization mechanism for mobile computing by Xiao-long XU, Xiao-xiao LIU

“…The hybrid data synchronization mechanism (HDSM) was proposed,which integrates centralized architecture and ad hoc architecture together,and a series of self-organization domains (SOD) were built as to cut down the traffic of synchronization data and lighten the load of synchronization server.The capacity-value-based data distribution strategy was proposed,which establishes data distribution paths of SOD tree based on the comprehensive processing capacity of mobile nodes to implement the high-efficient data transmission.The increment capture strategy based on track changes was proposed,which captures operation logs with triggers and obtains pure increment data by purification.The experi-mental results show that HDSM can make maintenance of data consistency better in mobile computing environment and shorten the response time of synchronization,and reduce the traffic of data synchronization and the load of synchroniza-tion server.…”

Grammaticalité et changement d’acceptabilité : le cas de help by Mathilde Pinson

“…This paper aims at establishing the role of processing factors on the evolution of acceptability in two case studies: the infinitival complementation of the verb help (with or without to) and the distribution of the construction [capacity + help]. The corpora chosen for this study, in particular COHA and the Old Bailey Proceedings, reveal that these factors do not simply help to explain the low frequency of dispreferred structures, but can even be considered the main factor triggering language change, in line with Rohdenburg’s prediction (2003: 243). …”

DGANS:robustness image steganography model based on double GAN by Leqing ZHU, Yu GUO, Lingqiang MO, Daxing ZHANG

“…Deep convolutional neural networks can be effectively applied to large-capacity image steganography,but the research on their robustness is rarely reported.The DGANS (double-GAN-based steganography) applies the deep learning framework in image steganography,which is optimized to resist small geometric distortions so as to improve the model’s robustness.DGANS is made up of two consecutive generative adversarial networks that can hide a grayscale image into another color or grayscale image of the same size and can restore it later.The generated stego-images are augmented and used to further train and strengthen the reveal network so as to make it adaptive to small geometric distortion of input images.Experimental results suggest that DGANS can not only realize high-capacity image steganography,but also can resist geometric attacks within certain range,which demonstrates better robustness than similar models.…”

Resource allocation optimization algorithm based on double populations differential evolution in WSN by Xiaochen HAO, Liyuan WANG, Jinshuo LIU, Lixia XIE, Wenhuan ZHANG

“…A resource allocation algorithm was proposed for improving the network performance through jointing channel allocation,power control and timeslot allocation in multi-radio multi-channel wireless sensor network.More specifically,the network was modeled as a multi-objective optimization problem where the energy efficient,resource allocation balanced,networks capacity maximized were considered under the link interference and link conflict constraints.Due to the problem was NP-Hardness,a simple centralized algorithm——differential evolution based on double populations was used to solve the constrained multi-objective optimization problem.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm significantly improves the network capacity and energy efficiency and guarantees the resource allocation balancing while reducing link interference and avoiding link conflict.…”
