Upper bounds estimates of the distance to cubic or orthotropic elasticity by Desmorat, Rodrigue, Kolev, Boris

“…Since all the second-order covariants of an (exactly) cubic elasticity tensor are isotropic, distance estimates based only on such covariants are not always accurate. We extend to cubic symmetry and to orthotropy the technique recently suggested by Klimeš for transverse isotropy: solving analytically an auxiliary quadratic minimization problem whose solution is a second-order tensor that carries the likely cubic coordinate system. …”

Gazetecilik Yıllarında Bülent Ecevit ve Anti-Komünizm (1950-1961) by Ferit Salim SANLI

“…Ecevit, who undertook the spokesmanship of the pole described as the "free world" under the leadership of the United States against communism, believed that democracy is as important as military measures in the fight against communism, and that the state should provide social justice and welfare to the citizens in order to eliminate the ground that may cause communism to be favored. Ecevit, who always preserved his CHP identity, used the analogy of the Soviets/iron curtain/communism in his criticisms of the DP, while criticizing the Democrat Party in the struggle against communism.…”

Approximate Super- and Sub-harmonic Response of a Multi-DOFs System with Local Cubic Nonlinearities under Resonance by Yang CaiJin

“…In this case, the single modal natural resonance theory can be applied to reduce the system model and a simplified model with only a single DOF is always obtained. Thus, an approximate solution and the analytical expression of frequency response relation are then derived using classical perturbation analysis. …”

q-Hyperconvexity in Quasipseudometric Spaces and Fixed Point Theorems by Hans-Peter A. Künzi, Olivier Olela Otafudu

“…In analogy with a metric result, we show among other things that a set-valued mapping T∗ on a q-hyperconvex T0-quasimetric space (X, d) which takes values in the space of nonempty externally q-hyperconvex subsets of (X, d) always has a single-valued selection T which satisfies d(T(x),T(y))≤dH(T∗(x),T∗(y)) whenever x,y∈X. …”

Legal analysis of the procedure for the formation of the law of the republic of Indonesia by Mustamin Mustamin, Muhammad Azhar Nur

“…The normal procedure for forming laws in Indonesia starts from the stages of planning, drafting, discussing, ratifying or enacting until promulgation is a process that takes quite a long time to go through discussions and debates in the legislature to find common ground and agreement. It is not always possible to predict when the process will end at the enactment stage. …”
