A Survey of Secure Communications for Satellite Internet Based on Cryptography and Physical Layer Security by Yu Zhang, Shuangrui Zhao, Ji He, Yuanyu Zhang, Yulong Shen, Xiaohong Jiang

“…Based on different security mechanisms, we first categorize the existing works of secure communications in satellite internet into two categories: cryptography-based and physical layer security-based. The former includes classical encryption-based and quantum encryption-based secure communication, and the latter is further divided into precoding-based, cooperative jamming-based, relay selection-based, and physical-layer authentication-based secure communication depending on the applied techniques. …”

The Grammaticalization of done in Non-Standard English by Patrice Larroque

“…Cette étude examine la fonction syntaxique et sémantique de done en position préverbale en se fondant sur l’hypothèse d’Antoine Meillet (1912 : 140) selon laquelle les mots les plus fréquemment utilisés s’affaiblissent et évoluent vers des formes plus intenses. On peut, en effet, se demander si, dans ce type de construction, done doit être considéré comme un adverbe dont le sens se rapprocherait de celui de already ou comme un modal renvoyant à une attitude prise à l’égard du contenu propositionnel. …”
