Research on Seismic Resistance of Precast Concrete Shear Walls with Bolt Splicing by XU Zhuang, ZHANG Ruigang

“…A design scheme of fully-assembled precast concrete shear walls with unit components spliced by bolts is proposed for the prefabricated unit residence system.An integral precast wall and two overlapped precast ones (consisting of two thin panels spliced horizontally by bolts) are designed,and low-cycle static loading tests of the walls under the bend-shear coupled loading mode are performed to study the seismic resistance of the structures.The research results indicate that the failure mode of the overlapped wall is the same as that of the integral one,and the crack development of the wall body is insufficient.The bearing capacity of the overlapped wall is equivalent to that of the integral one.The former is more ductile,whose displacement ductility factor is about 1.1 times that of the latter.The initial stiffness of the integral wall is larger than that of the overlapped one,but the former's stiffness degrades faster.In addition,the quantity and locations of bolts have little effect on the energy dissipation capacities of overlapped walls,and joint connection might be the only function of bolts for overlapped walls.…”

Sampling method for IDS in high bandwidth network by NING Zhuo1, GONG Jian1, GU Wen-jie1

“…A novel sampling method,IDSampling,was developed to solve the performance unbalance problem that IDS could not scale well in G+bit/s link,which was adaptive with the consumption of the memory bottleneck.With the help of the heuristic messages,such as the entropy of the single-packet flow and the flow length,IDSampling applied the simple sampling strategy based on the entropy of the single-packet flow when the large-scale anomaly occurred,or another complicated one instructed by the feedback of the rear detection results by default.In both cases IDSampling tried to guaran-tee the equal security with detection cost as low as it could.The results of experiment show that ①IDSampling keeps IDS effective by cutting off its load significantly when it is overloaded,at the same time it can guarantee the detection accuracy of the large-scale attack;②Comparing with the other two overwhelming sampling methods,the random packet sampling and the random flow sampling,the number of attack packets sampled by IDSampling is higher than that of the former two,the number outweighs the former two one order of magnitude especially in the large-scale anomaly case.…”

Les écoles publiques alternatives du Québec : description écosystémique par croisement des expériences vécues d’anciens élèves et d’acteurs actuels by Philippe Chaubet, François Bissonnette, Vicky Lachance, Jasmin Beauclair, Akâsha Fadoul

“…The article aims at the ecosystem description of the 48 schools in the network of alternative public schools of Quebec (RÉPAQ), based on the positive stories of the experiences of former students and current actors. To understand their common functioning from an outside eye, we voluntarily put aside the discourse and vocabulary of their internal documents and interviewed actors with diverse roles in 14 of these schools: teachers, management, educational advisors, parents, daycare providers, former students. …”
