The ‘Nothing Lasts!’ Motif in Stoyan Mihaylovski’s Sonnets by Kalin Mihaylov

“…This collection allows researchers to study how the sonnet, a form of literary expression typically associated with Western Europe, settles in and makes itself noticeable in a creative path containing a vast number of East European features. The analysis begins with the sonnet ‘Nothing Lasts!’, which affirms the idea that human efforts, strivings and ideals are, after all, worthless. …”

Task security scheduling method for 5G+MEC based grid edge computing platform by Shimulin XIE, Ijie BA, Xiang ZHANG, Zeyi TANG, Weifan NIAN, Xujie LIU

“…In order to ensure the security of task scheduling of grid edge computing platform and the data quality required by task scheduling, a task security scheduling method of grid edge computing platform based on 5G + MEC was proposed.Combined with confidentiality service and integrity service, the security level model of task scheduling was constructed to restrict the risk in the process of scheduling and transmission of scheduling task queue, so as to realize the secure transmission of 5G core network.The priority queue type was confirmd, the minimum queue and the maximum queue was selected, the maximization of data resources and the task scheduling of MEC equipment was supported, and a distributed task scheduling model was built.Using Lyapunov candidate function to improve the stability of task scheduling, and the model was solved by alternating direction multiplier method to obtain the optimal solution of task security scheduling.The test results show that after the application of this method, the risk probability results fluctuate in the range of 0.15～0.35, and the fitting degree between the relevant data provided by MEC equipment and the scheduling task of core server is higher than 0.92, the quality score of task scheduling data is also higher than 0.94.…”

Routing discovery algorithm based on reliable path stability estimation in MANET by Zhi-nan LI, Xiao-dong YANG

“…A novel routing discovery algorithm for MANETs was proposed based on reliable residual path lifetime (RPL) prediction (RLE-RPLP).Correlation between residual link lifetime (RLL) of neighboring links was explicitly investigated and fully taken into account in stability estimation of multi-hop paths in the algorithm.Optimized RPL statistical proper-ties were further explored to offer a more reliable path stability metric.Simulation analysis demonstrates that the pro-posed RLE-RPLP routing discovery algorithm shows prominent superiority in improving network throughput and reduc-ing route reconstruction frequency.Moreover,compared with the existing link stability-aware routing protocol,the RLE-RPLP achieves better performance improvement in terms of throughput and routing overhead.…”
