The core structure of screw dislocations with [001] Burgers vector in Mg2SiO4 olivine

In this study, we report atomistic calculations of the core structure of screw dislocations with [001] Burgers vector in Mg SiO olivine. Computations based on the THB1 empirical potential set for olivine show that the stable core configurations of the screw dislocations correspond to a dissociation in {110} planes involving collinear partial dislocations. As a consequence, glide appears to be favorable in {110} planes at low temperature. This study also highlights the difference between dislocation glide mechanism in {110} versus (010) or (100) for which glide is expected to occur through a locking-unlocking mechanism

Automated Semantic Knowledge Acquisition From Sensor Data

The gathering of real-world data is facilitated by many pervasive data sources such as sensor devices and smartphones. The abundance of the sensory data raises the need to make the data easily available and understandable for the potential users and applications. Using semantic enhancements is one approach to structure and organize the data and to make it processable and interoperable by machines. In particular, ontologies are used to represent information and their relations in machine interpretable forms. In this context, a significant amount of work has been done to create real-world data description ontologies and data description models; however, little effort has been done in creating and constructing meaningful topical ontologies from a vast amount of sensory data by automated processes. Topical ontologies represent the knowledge from a certain domain providing a basic understanding of the concepts that serve as building blocks for further processing. There is a lack of solution that construct the structure and relations of ontologies based on real-world data. To address this challenge, we introduce a knowledge acquisition method that processes real-world data to automatically create and evolve topical ontologies based on rules that are automatically extracted from external sources. We use an extended k-means clustering method and apply a statistic model to extract and link relevant concepts from the raw sensor data and represent them in the form of a topical ontology. We use a rule-based system to label the concepts and make them understandable for the human user or semantic analysis and reasoning tools and software. The evaluation of our work shows that the construction of a topological ontology from raw sensor data is achievable with only small construction errors

À l’aube du chaos : l’année 1917 dans les pays baltes

Durant l’année 1917, les anciennes provinces baltes de l’empire tsariste connaissent d’importants bouleversements. La révolution russe entraîne dans son sillage la reconfiguration des territoires avec l’apparition d’une Estonie et d’une Lettonie autonomes ; elle provoque surtout la montée des forces nationalistes et des mouvements révolutionnaires (avec la création, dès l’été 1917, d’un quasi-État bolchevique dans le Vidzeme). Les forces militaires allemandes, qui occupent depuis l’été 1915 les territoires peuplés de Lituaniens et la Courlande, lancent par ailleurs, suite à l’enlisement des négociations de Brest-Litovsk, une vaste offensive à la fin décembre qui aboutit rapidement à la conquête de toutes les terres baltes jusqu’à Narva. Ludendorff croit avoir alors imposé la création du Baltikum. En réalité, il s’agit d’une victoire à la Pyrrhus qui pose les bases de futures guerres civiles infiniment plus cruelles que les affrontements politiques de l’été et de l’automne 1917.During the year 1917, the former Baltic provinces of the Tsarist empire were experiencing significant changes. The Russian Revolution brought in its wake the reorganization of territories leading to the autonomy of Estonia and unoccupied Latvia; especially, it brought about the rise of nationalist forces and revolutionary movements (with the creation from the summer of 1917 onwards of an almost independent Bolshevik state in Vidzeme). Since they didn’t tolerate the stalemate of Brest-Litovsk negotiations, the German military forces (which had been occupying Lithuania and Courland since the summer of 1915) also launched a major offensive in late December 1917 that quickly led to conquering all the Baltic lands to Narva. Ludendorff believed that in that way he has imposed the creation of Baltikum. In reality it was a Pyrrhic victory, that laid the foundations of forthcoming civil wars which turned out to be infinitely more merciless than the political confrontations of the summer and fall of 1917

A reference architecture for federating IoT infrastructures supporting semantic interoperability

: The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is unanimously identified as one of the main pillars of future smart scenarios. However, despite the growing number of IoT deployments, the majority of IoT applications tend to be self-contained, thereby forming vertical silos. Indeed, the ability to combine and synthesize data streams and services from diverse IoT platforms and testbeds, holds the promise to increase the potential of smart applications in terms of size, scope and targeted business context. This paper describes the system architecture for the FIESTA-IoT platform, whose main aim is to federate a large number of testbeds across the planet, in order to offer experimenters the unique experience of dealing with a large number of semantically interoperable data sources. This system architecture was developed by following the Architectural Reference Model (ARM) methodology promoted by the IoT-A project (FP7 “light house” project on Architecture for the Internet of Things). Through this process, the FIESTAIoT architecture is composed of a set of Views that deals with a “logical” functional decomposition (Functional View, FV) and data structuring and annotation, data flows and inter-functional component interactions (Information View, IV)
