Low error floor LT coding algorithm for unequal error protection by Xin SONG, Shuyan NI, Zhe ZHANG, Yurong LIAO, Tuofeng LEI

“…The check nodes in this segment will select MIB or least important bit (LIB) as neighbor nodes,and the proportion of check nodes connected to MIB and LIB can be flexibly adjusted,so that the MIB is always successfully decoded before the LIB.This paper also proposes a degree distribution design model adapted to the above coding scheme.This design model aims to provide a sufficiently wide extrinsic information decoding tunnel for the MIB,and an open and not too narrow decoding tunnel for the LIB.When only the fixed segment is transmitted, the degree distribution to be designed should bring the MIB closest to the successful decoding state.When starting to transmit the rateless segment,the degree distribution to be designed should ensure that the MIB is recovered correctly as soon as possible,and the decoding tunnel of the MIB is wide enough when the LIB is in a critical decoding state. …”

La séduction et l’idéologie : sémantique, syntaxe, argumentation by Jean SZLAMOWICZ

“…In this instance, seduction is a rhetorical battle between logos and pathos.Studying the vocabulary of wine tasting, then other fields with more of an ideological stake, such as antisemitism, the article will show how political activism enlists seductive values as a strategy to win the audience over.The article will stress the role of incantatory importance of ‘word ethos’ and will develop the concept of hypostello, to mean a rhetorical strategy of hiding one’s intentions. Lexical and syntactical arsenal, axiology, metaphors, implicitness are but a few of the linguistic features that can be studied to determine the degree of seduction.…”
