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. …”

Ponctuation et mise en page dans Madame Bovary : les interventions de Flaubert sur le manuscrit du copiste by Stella Mangiapane

“…This paper thus investigates the last stage of the writer’s work, comparing, on the one hand, the final autographed manuscript and, on the other hand, both the edition of the novel published on the Revue de Paris (October-December 1856) and the first printed edition (Michel Lévy frères, 1857). These different comparisons will highlight the scope and range of the questions raised by Flaubert’s use of punctuation.…”
