Os discursos do etnólogo, do filósofo e do ficcionistana estrutura do romance Nove noites by Cid Ottoni Bylaardt

“…This paper intends to establish a dialogue between two texts: “Structure, Signand Play in the Discourse of Human Sciences”, by Jacques Derrida, andNovenoites[Nine nights] by the Brazilian contemporary novelist Bernardo Carvalho.Derrida‟s text seems tohold the origins of the deconstructionist thinking of thephilosopher, and begins with an aporia pointed by Lévi-Strauss in the binarypair nature-culture to discuss the centered model of the occidental thinking.This scandal, thus, is associated to the activity of the ethnologist and has itsroots in ethnography. …”

Spectrum allocation based on quantum cuckoo search algorithm in cognitive radio network by Xianping WANG, Hui CAO

“…There are discrete optimization problems for spectrum allocation in cognitive wireless network.A novel combinatorial optimization algorithm called quantum cuckoo search algorithm （QCSA）was proposed,which was based on quantum computing and cuckoo search algorithm.The quantum nest was used to represent multiple dimensionality solution for the optimization problem,and the global optimal position was found according to Lévy flights and quantum mutation strategy.In additional,some classical benchmark functions were employed to prove the effectiveness of QCSA,and a spectrum allocation method based on QCSA was proposed for cognitive network.Compared with classical spectrum allocation methods by using different network utility functions,the global optimal solution can be searched so fast.Simulation results show that the proposed spectrum allocation method based on QCSA is better than other traditional methods under different network utility functions.…”

Application of Improved Grey Wolf Optimization KFCM Algorithm in Fault Diagnosis of Wind Turbine Gearbox by Zheng Xiaoxia, Qian Yiqun, Wang Shuai, Zhao Kun

“…The initially cluster centers and the kernel parameter of the KFCM model are taken as optimization variables，and an improved grey wolf optimization algorithm is used to find the optimal centers. The introduction of Levy flight strategy and non-linear coefficient vector in the improved grey wolf optimization algorithm can improve the convergence speed and accuracy of the algorithm， and the clustering centers and kernel parameters can be obtained under the optimal classification results. …”
