The Holy Alignment: Geodesic and Astronomical Fundamentals for Calculating the Adjustment of Medieval Naves

It is commonly believed that the longitudinal axes of churches extend exactly in an east-west direction. However, thorough investigations have shown that this is not always correct; rather, both southern and northern deviations of up to about 25° can occur. The angular deviation between the church axis and true east is called the Holy Alignment. This present study presents the possibility that the nave is oriented towards the direction of the sun-rising point on the name day of the patron saint of the church. If several saints share the patronage, the Holy Alignment equals the algebraic sum of the angular distances for each saint. The orientation of a nave can be analyzed by means of common mathematical relations used in geodesy, astronomy and gnomonics. In order to perform such an analysis, it is necessary to know the history of the patronage of the church; the Gauss-Krüger coordinates of the ground plan; and characteristic astronomical quantities at the time the church was built. A calculated example with the saints Andrew, James and Philip for the year 980 illustrates the analysis. An appendix deals with the influence of atmospheric refraction on the apparent altitude of the sun near the horizon.     

Efficient identity-based GQ multisignatures

ISO/IEC 14888 specifies a variety of digital signature mechanisms to sign messages of arbitrary length. These schemes can be applied to provide entity authentication, data origin authentication, non-repudiation, and data integrity verification. ISO/IEC 14888 consists of three parts under the general title Information technology—Security techniques—Digital signatures. Part II, or ISO/IEC 14888-2 specifies the general structure and the fundamental procedures for the generation and verification of an identity-based signature (IBS) mechanism for messages of arbitrary length. Particularly, the IBS scheme of Guillou and Quisquater (GQ) is described in Clauses 6–8. In this paper, an efficient identity-based multisignature (IBMS) scheme is proposed for the GQ IBS scheme, which allows multiple users using the ISO/IEC 14888-2 standard GQ scheme to generate multisignatures. The scheme is efficient in the sense that both the length and the verification time of the multisignatures are fixed. The proposed ID-based multisignature scheme is also secure against forgeability under adaptive chosen-message attack and adaptive chosen-identity attack in random oracle model.     

如何设定品牌标志的设计标准

品牌设计师通过知觉联想可以将文字语言转化为直接、可见的视觉图形传达给社会大众,这种语言上的转换是设计师发掘人们想象不到或想象不全面的一种表现方式,是艺术创造。同时,在没有限制,具有广泛可能性的创意、设计中,要把企业理念和目标等文字语言浓缩、整合出适合创意、设计的关键语,这一个个关键语就是品牌标志设计的依据和标准。有了这样的设计标准就会提高设计效率和准确性,减少在标志设计过程中的矛盾与摩擦,起到指引方向和检验最终方案的作用。

为了解决帧间模式选择计算量大的问题,提出了一种快速算法。算法利用编码模式的利用率信息和时空相关性来预先判定当前宏块最可能的编码模式,从而大大加快了模式选择的过程。算法缩小了候选模式的范围,并采用阈值来提高预测准确度。仿真结果表明,该算法在编码质量只有轻微下降的情况下明显降低了计算复杂度。     

融合序列分解与Prophet模型的时序预测

传统时序预测方法其预测过程无法在相同数据集上推出共享模式, 而机器学习方法无法较好地处理非线性和大规模数据集, 并且需要手动设计特征工程. 深度学习方法弥补了传统预测方法需要高计算高人力的弊端, 用自动学习特征工程代替了手动设计特征工程. 但仅使用深度学习的预测方法所作结构假设较少, 通常需要较高的计算资源以及大量的数据来学习得到准确的模型. 针对上述问题, 本文提出通过采用融合t检验的EMD经验模态将序列分为高频分量和低频分量, 对高频分量使用传统STL序列分解方法进一步对数据做处理, 对高频、低频分量分别进行Prophet预测. 实验结果表明, 相较于传统的LSTM以及Prophet预测模型, 经过STL序列分解后的周期数据能够提升模型的整体预测精确度而融合EMD经验模态的Prophet模型则大大提升了训练效率.
