Développer le désert : anciennes et nouvelles utopies by Jean-Robert Henry, Jean-Louis Marçot, Jean-Yves Moisseron

“…The former aimed at mobilizing water resources in the desert to “make it grow green again” and expand cultivated areas; they sparked great interest among scientists and politicians in the late 19th century but were only finalized, like the trans-Saharan railway, in novels. It was not until independence that post-colonial States took over part of the projects.The solar energy project is less about developing the desert than it is about using the sun’s sterilizing energy for sustainable development throughout the Euro-Mediterranean region. …”

Novel role analysis method for network domain users by Xiao-feng XU, Li YANG, Wei WANG

“…A novel role analysis method for network domain users was proposed.Firstly,the algorithm used ISODATA algorithm to cluster network events for user behavior analysis,on the basis of conditions,the method search relationships between varieties of grouping sets in the network instance,and identify each user role in the performing process of network instance.Finally,simulation results show that the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm can distinguish the network user hierarchy and obtain the dominant roles about network users.…”
