Tom, volume e arranjo no chiaroscuro da memória: Sinfonia em branco, de Adriana Lisboa by Regina R. Félix

“…This article shows the parallel between the psychological process of the characters Tomás, Maria Inês and Clarice and the musical, plastic, cinematographic, and literary forms through which they express their gradual awareness in dealing with their traumas. Tone, volume, and arrangement merge with each other. They are configured as appearance and absence, in shadow and light, and in voices that modulate silences and protests. …”

Parametric study of rider’s comfort in a vehicle with semi-active suspension system under transient road conditions by Arinola Bola Ajayi, Ediketin Ojogho, Surajudeen Adedotun Adewusi, Sunday Joshua Ojolo, Julio Cesar Costa Campos, Antonio Marcos de Oliveira Siqueira

“…This is significant because the transmission of vibration associated with suspension systems are dependent on the frequency spectrum of the road input, and the nature of the suspension system and the vehicle seating arrangement that is producing the vibration. Thus, this study focuses on the discomfort experienced by passengers based on parametric study of vehicle with semi-active suspension system under transient road conditions.  …”

Numerical study of low-velocity impact performance of hybrid carbon/Twaron woven fabric by Canyi Huang, Lin Tang, Xiaofang Zheng, Lina Cui, Yajun Liu

“…The impact scenario M4-2 performed excellently in other weaves, such as twill weave, while impact scenario M4-1 (plain fabric with a hybrid ratio of 1:1, one carbon yarns interval with one Twaron yarn) in basket weave showed high suitability for body armor in terms of impact protection. Additionally, arranging Twaron fabric in the top layers of a hybrid multi-layer carbon/Twaron fabric panel yielded superior impact resistance performance during low-velocity impact events compared to other layer arrangements.…”

Bayesian Compressive Sensing as Applied to Directions-of-Arrival Estimation in Planar Arrays by Matteo Carlin, Paolo Rocca, Giacomo Oliveri, Andrea Massa

“…The Bayesian compressive sensing (BCS) is applied to estimate the directions of arrival (DoAs) of narrow-band electromagnetic signals impinging on planar antenna arrangements. Starting from the measurement of the voltages induced at the output of the array elements, the performance of the BCS-based approach is evaluated when data are acquired at a single time instant and at consecutive time instants, respectively. …”

Nona Nenovska, Gouvernance des biens communs et spécificités du rapport social à la nature en Bulgarie : le cas de l’aire marine protégée de Kaliakra by Nona Nenovska

“…The main focus of this research is on the formal/informal institutional arrangements for this area. Although formal institutions are important in setting the rules for natural resource governance, this study finds that informal institutions, specific to the country historical and cultural context, tend to shape the outcomes and objectives of this governance and reflect the socio-economic characteristics of the macro-context in which it takes place.…”
