L'effraction ou le sentiment hétérotopique en situation touristique by Hécate Vergopoulos

“…Cet article repose sur l’étude de deux terrains conduits en 2010 : (i) une visite de la ville estonienne de Paldiski, qui fut sous le régime soviétique un important port militaire (ii) ainsi qu’une expérience d’hébergement dans une maison de la Chora de l’île grecque de Skyros, demeure qui n’avait vraisemblablement pas vocation à être mise à disposition des touristes. …”

An Empirical Study of Bugs in Eclipse Stable Internal Interfaces. by Simon, Kawuma, Nabaasa, Evarist, Bamutura, David Sabiiti, Mabirizi, Vicent

“…Despite being discouraged by Eclipse, application developers often use non-APIs which cause their systems to fail when ported to new framework releases. Previous studies showed that applications using relatively old non-APIs are more likely to be compatible with new releases compared to the ones that used newly introduced non-APIs. …”

Revealing the fireworks-set-off pattern of spatial multi-function expansion across cities leveraging big geodata – a case of the Greater Bay Area, China by Ku Gao, Xiaomei Yang, Zhihua Wang, Yueming Liu, Huifang Zhang, Xiaoliang Liu, Qingyang Zhang

“…We found that (1) across-cities SMFE exhibited a fireworks-set-off pattern, including sprawling along river in the plains between coastal port cities and inland core cities and diffusing from inland core cities on the plains to inland node cities in the mountains; (2) social-living, business-trade, and industry-production functions were sequentially primary expanding functions; (3) paddy and forest were two major land cover types encroaching upon inland cities, while coastal cities primarily suffered from losses of water. …”

Thermally tunable add-drop filter based on valley photonic crystals for optical communications by Sun Lu, Li Xingfeng, Hu Pan, Wang Hongwei, Zhang Yong, Tang Guojing, He Xintao, Dong Jianwen, Su Yikai

“…A diamond-shaped microloop resonator is designed to confine the light and enhance its interaction with the thermal field generated by the microheater, leading to a relatively low power of 23.97 mW needed for switching the output signal from one port to the other. Based on the thermally tunable ADF under the protection of band topology, robust data transmission is implemented with an ultrahigh data rate of 132 Gb/s. …”

Optimization of HS-SPME-GC-MS for the Characterization of Key Volatile Compounds in Lentinus edodes at Different Maturity Stages by HOU Zhenshan, XU Heran, XIA Rongrong, LI Yunting, WANG Yafei, PAN Song, XIN Guang

“…The results showed that the optimal extraction conditions were as follows: 1.0 g of sample was extracted at 50 ℃ for 25 min and then the analytes adsorbed on the fiber were desorbed in the GC-MS injection port for 3 min. A total of 71 VOCs were identified in L. edodes, and there were significant differences in the types and contents of volatile compounds at different maturity stages (P < 0.05). …”
