Belgian’s Political Reconstruction after World War II: An Exemplary Case for the Normalisation of the Post-War Western-European State? by Nele Beyens

“…However, in stressing the level of restoration of the Belgian state and society after the war, Martin Conway often approaches the period of reconstruction somewhat teleologically, and this perspective does little to further a better understanding of the mechanisms at play during periods of regime change such as the period studied. This is a bit of a missed opportunity, as is made clear by comparing The Sorrows of Belgium with the process of reconstruction in France and the Netherlands.…”

An Experimental Demonstration of MIMO C-OOK Scheme Based on Deep Learning for Optical Camera Communication System by Van Linh Nguyen, Duc Hoang Tran, Huy Nguyen, Yeong Min Jang

“…Our suggested method aimed to improve the performance of the traditional camera on–off keying scheme by increasing data rate, communication distance, and low bit error rate. Our suggested technique may achieve a communication distance of up to 22 m with a low error rate when considering the mobility impact (2 m/s, i.e., walking velocity) by controlling the exposure time, focal length, and employing Forward Error Correction code.…”
