Distributed Storage Strategy and Visual Analysis for Economic Big Data by Xiangli Chang, Hailang Cui

“…Taking into account the spatial, temporal, and semantic characteristics of economic big data, this paper proposes a unified coding method based on the spatiotemporal data multilevel division strategy combined with Geohash and Hilbert and spatiotemporal semantic constraints. A prototype system was constructed based on Mongo DB, and the performance of the multilevel partition algorithm proposed in this paper was verified by the prototype system based on the realization of data storage management functions. …”

Active measurement mechanism measuring SDN performances by Ming CHEN, Fei DAI, Bo XU, Chang-you XING, Bing LI, Guo-min ZHANG

“…An active SDN measurement mechanism was proposed,which could measure the end-to-end path performance between any two nodes,then the OpenFlow measurement protocol OFMP was designed,and a prototype OFMd was implemented,which could measure multiple performance metrics of the flow between two nodes without changing the switch forwarding rule.The experiment results show that OFMd can acquire multiple end to end path performance metrics only by sending a single probe packet.…”

Extending structural subsumption reasoning algorithms for ontology matching by Jian-xin LIAO, Xiu-lei LIU, Xiao-min ZHU, Hai-feng SUN, Jing-yu WANG

“…For exploiting semantics implied in constructors and axioms in an ontology,a structural subsumption reasoning algorithm was extended to match ontologies.The implied semantics was first enabled to be read-off easily by rephrasing entities in an ontology into normal forms; then the syntactical structure of the normal forms were compared to infer correspondences between entities,one from each ontology.The prototype was evaluated over four in use ontologies and compared against twelve methods.The experiments show that its performance is higher than other solutions on average.…”

High-Performance Computational Electromagnetic Methods Applied to the Design of Patch Antenna with EBG Structure by R. C. Hadarig, M. E. de Cos, F. Las-Heras

“…The electrical characteristics of the embedded structure (patch antenna surrounded by EBG unit cells) are evaluated by means of method of moment technique (MoM) whereas for designing the unit cell, the finite element method (FEM) together with the Bloch-Floquet theory is used. The manufactured prototypes are characterized in terms of return loss and radiation pattern in an anechoic chamber.…”

The hearth in the medieval dwelling of Ani by Ольга Баева

“… Based on field studies, historiographical data and materials published by Russian and Turkish archaeologists, the article studies the peculiarities of arrangement and location of tonirs and fireplaces – the main types of hearths discovered in dwellings of the ancient settlement. The revealed prototypes and analogues allowed to draw conclusions about the stability of these types in the culture of the Near and Middle East, as well as to raise questions about the sources of origin of Ani fireplaces and to put forward a hypothesis that it is possible to speak about the outlined process of transition of sacral hearths into the sphere of households. …”
