Enjeux méthodologiques autour de la triangulation "patrimoine-tourisme-développement" en République démocratique du Congo by Yves Robert

“…D’emblée, il a été convenu de refuser d’aborder la notion de patrimoine sous un angle stricto sensu passéiste. Parmi les idées qui animent les débats en cours, l’enjeu des relations entre les concepts de patrimoine, développement et tourisme est identifié comme une approche prioritaire pour ce pays en voie de reconstruction économique et en phase de consolidation de la paix. …”

The Making of Sami Ethnography: Contested Authorities and Negotiated Representations by Kristin Kuutma

“…My main focus is on the collaborative effort of the publication process, to investigate the emergence and negotiation of representational authority, of cultural poetics, of social and cultural critique, in order to defy the preconception of a passive informant of a cultural experience. The Sámi narrator Johan Turi is discussed, instead, as an active agent in providing a voice to the Sámi people in the collaborative process of ethnography writing. …”

Fast TDOA and FDOA Estimation for Coherent Pulse Signals by Yan Liu, Fucheng Guo

“…Time difference of arrival (TDOA) and frequency difference of arrival (FDOA) have been widely used for localizing temporally continuous signals passively. Temporal sparsity of pulse signals makes their TDOA and FDOA estimation processes much different, and computational complexity is a major concern in this area. …”

Architecture’s Awaking from Correlationist Slumber: On Transdisciplinarity and Disciplinary Specificity by Andrej Radman

“…The most notable point of convergence between the two thinkers is their more or less overt theory of ‘passive synthesis’ of perception with which they vehemently oppose, or better yet complement, the active synthesis of representation.…”

On the Security of a Simple Three-Party Key Exchange Protocol without Server’s Public Keys by Junghyun Nam, Kim-Kwang Raymond Choo, Minkyu Park, Juryon Paik, Dongho Won

“…In this work, we reveal major previously unpublished security vulnerabilities in the password-based authenticated three-party key exchange protocol according to Lee and Hwang (2010): (1) the Lee-Hwang protocol is susceptible to a man-in-the-middle attack and thus fails to achieve implicit key authentication; (2) the protocol cannot protect clients’ passwords against an offline dictionary attack; and (3) the indistinguishability-based security of the protocol can be easily broken even in the presence of a passive adversary. We also propose an improved password-based authenticated three-party key exchange protocol that addresses the security vulnerabilities identified in the Lee-Hwang protocol.…”
