La politique de restauration des peintures des musées nationaux (1930-1950) by Fernando Suárez San Pablo

“…More than 600 paintings were restored between 1936 and 1950 in the new workshop set up in the Louvre where the restorers Lucien Aubert, Pierre Michel, Pierre Paulet, René Longa, Edgard Aillet and Georges Zezzos worked under the supervision of Jean-Gabriel Goulinat.The present article aims to analyze the activity developed during this period exploring its origins at the end of the 1920s. The needs of the Musées Nationaux in terms of the organisation and practice of restoration, which this workshop met, are thus illustrated by the initiatives implemented by an administration that devoted itself to the reinforcement of the modes of supervision of the restorers it hired.…”

Norme, écart et usages : premiers éléments d’une étude sur les anciens collèges jésuites en Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes by Catherine Guégan

“…The chronological framework chosen runs from the creation of the first Jesuit college in France, in 1556, to the date of expulsion of the order from the kingdom of France, in 1762.On the one hand, we intend to compare the general framework of the regulations established by the Society of Jesus for the construction of its houses, particularly attentive to the questions of functionality and adaptation of spaces to liturgical, community and educational needs, and the design and implementation arrangements for the construction of the studied colleges, and on the other hand, to show how these rules could be reconciled with local constraints and uses, reflecting the flexibility and adaptability of the Society’s members to the specifics of each territory.The questions asked by this contribution are the following: can we highlight a network of Jesuit colleges (points and degrees of similarity in design and construction, filiations and variants, singularities, etc.) as ancestors/models for high schools from 1802 onwards, especially in terms of their location and distribution? …”

From Archetype to Stereotype: a Postmodern Re–reading of the American South by Gabriela Dumbrava

“…Abstract: This study proposes an approach to Southern culture as a perpetually re–written/re–read text that survives by successive re–contextualizations of its fundamental patterns. Relying on fictional and non–fictional representations, the paper follows the trajectory of the plantation as an epitome of the South from the status of archetypal model to that of stereotype, showing how the latter ironically acquires the power of the former, and becomes the very source of misconceptions or simplifying perceptions. …”

A survey of key protocol and application scenario of time-sensitive network by Peizhuang CONG, Ye TIAN, Xiangyang GONG, Xirong QUE, Wendong WANG

“…With the development of information technology,the demand for scenarios with objects as the main body of communication is increasing,such as factory automation control,automatic driving,etc.The time delay requirements of such communication for data transmission far exceed the controllable range of traditional ethernet,then time-sensitive network have emerged.Time-sensitive network is a standardized technology that provides deterministic information transmission based on standard ethernet.It minimizes jitter through time-aware scheduling mechanism and provides reliable guarantee of data transmission for time-sensitive applications.The core characteristics and mechanism of time-sensitive network were introduced through the description of IEEE standards and its application scenarios were analyzed in vehicle network,industrial internet,aircraft data network and mobile fronthaul network.…”
