Roberto Bolaño’s 2666 : serial murder and narrative necrosis by Scott, Bede

“…This article explores the representation of serial murder in Roberto Bolaño’s 2666, focusing in particular on Part Four, “The Part About the Crimes,” which provides a thinly fictionalized account of the notorious femicides that have afflicted the Mexican city of Ciudad Juárez over the last two and a half decades. What impact does this extensive litany of dead bodies have on the novel’s plot trajectory, its production of meaning, and its proairetic qualities? …”

Hybrid-duplex communications for multi-UAV networks : an outage probability analysis by Tan, Ernest Zheng Hui, Madhukumar, A. S., Sirigina, Rajendra Prasad, Krishna, Anoop Kumar

“…We demonstrate that the HBD UAV communication system (HBD-UCS) can concurrently support more UAVs while achieving higher reliability than the half-duplex (HD) UCS (HD-UCS). Specifically, at low transmit power regimes, it is shown that the HBD-UCS attains lower uplink and downlink outage probability than an HD-UCS, as the UAV operating altitude is increased.…”
