L’Orient-souvenir. Le surgissement du passé autobiographique dans le périple méditerranéen de Flaubert by Sarga Moussa

“…Here, we examine in his travel notes and correspondence three examples of a personal past emerging – first, a recent past, that of the first version of La Tentation de saint Antoine, which Flaubert is thinking back to during his encounter with a Coptic priest; then, a more distant past, that of his own youth resurfacing in the Kuchuk-Hanem episode by the Nile; finally, an imagined past, associated with a former life, reappearing like a ghost in the Greek village of Topolia. Before he espoused the principle of literary impersonality, Flaubert considered travel writing as a form in which the ‘I’ could reveal itself freely; it re-emerged in more indirect ways in the works that followed.…”

NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE INTERFACE TRACKING WITH STRONG SHOCK by ZHANG XuMei, JIANG ZhiGang, ZHANG Liang, WEI ShaoHua

“…Effect of strong impact on gas-gas and gas-liquid interface is studied numerically by Runge- Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method. Ghost fluid Method is r GFM and limiter is TVB limiter with M = 150,and the results showed that the impact is very easy to transfer to gas gas interface,and the impact of transmission is very difficult to through the gas-liquid interface; Error is very small when the impact of strong impact on the gas-liquid interface is on the numerical simulation,and the effect is good; The simulation of gas gas interface can capture the shock wave,but there are some error on the simulation of high density area,and it still need to continue to improve.…”

Shipwreck Architecture by Simon Weir, Sara Rich

“…This trajectory of ideas is then projected into a creative project: a speculative history of shipwreck architecture where the cutting edge of biological research is projected into a technological future when the distant aims of today’s technology are ancient history: when the first generations of grown buildings are preserved as ruins, when giant decommissioned carbon-capture factories drift like ghost ships across lakes of their inky waste, when people remember when shipwrecks caused by the hazards of rising sea levels were later exposed by sinking sea levels and converted into hotels and theatres, and finally, when these theatrical memories provoke such nostalgia that shipwreck architecture would be replicated and fabricated. …”

Lost-minimum post-training parameter quantization method for convolutional neural network by Fan ZHANG, Yun HUANG, Zizhuo FANG, Wei GUO

“…To solve the problem that that no dataset is available for model quantization in data-sensitive scenarios, a model quantization method without using data sets was proposed.Firstly, according to the parameters of batch normalized layer and the distribution characteristics of image data, the simulated input data was obtained by error minimization method.Then, by studying the characteristics of data rounding, a factor dynamic rounding method based on loss minimization was proposed.Through quantitative experiments on classification models such as GhostNet and target detection models such as M2Det, the effectiveness of the proposed quantification method for image classification and target detection models was verified.The experimental results show that the proposed quantization method can reduce the model size by about 75%, effectively reduce the power loss and improve the computing efficiency while basically maintaining the accuracy of the original model.…”
