Dynamic Response of Asymmetric and Nonlinear Packaging System under Random Excitation by Song-Ping Yang, Zhi-Wei Wang

“…Next to presenting the displacement probability density functions (PDFs) of ANPSs derived through FPK equations, the influences of the excitation grades and the characteristic parameters (such as the damping, the nonlinear stiffness, and the strain) of packaging cushion materials on the response are discussed in detail. Then, the generalized PDFs of the response peaks are defined and examined by three common distributions. …”

Fortunella spp., Kumquat by Michael G. Andreu, Melissa H. Friedman, Robert J. Northrop

“…Their dark green leaves and contrasting bright orange fruits give them ornamental quality, and their relatively small size makes them easy to care for once they’re established. Because kumquats generally require less care than other citrus trees, they may be a good choice for gardeners with less time or experience, but who still desire an attractive and tasty citrus tree. …”

New Public Management and its Implementation in the CEE Region: What do we know and where do we go? by Juraj Nemec

“…Our findings argue in simplified way that: “Adieu NPM” should mean that managing by contracts, objectives, competition, etc. as the goal, is a forgotten story (not only for CEE, but generally). But governing by predictable, reliable and coherent, open and transparent, accountable and responsible bureaucracy, using evidence and consultation based policy making and simultaneously properly managing efficiency, economy and effectiveness of any government operation is the future target.…”

Continuité des racines d’après Rabinoff by Marie, Emeryck

“…The content of this paper is a generalization of a theorem by Joseph Rabinoff: if $\mathscr{P}$ is a finite family of pointed and rational polyhedra in $N_\mathbb{R}$ such that there exists a fan in $N_\mathbb{R}$ that contains all the recession cones of the polyhedra of $\mathscr{P}$, if $k$ is a complete non-archimedean field, if $S$ is a connected and regular $k$-analytic space (in the sense of Berkovich) and $Y$ is a closed $k$-analytic subset of $U_{\mathscr{P}} \times _k S$ which is relative complete intersection and contained in the relative interior of $U_{\mathscr{P}} \times _k S$ over $S$, then the quasifiniteness of $\pi : Y \rightarrow S$ implies its flatness and finiteness; moreover, all the finite fibers of $\pi $ have the same length. …”

Cognitive Rehabilitation for Executive Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease: Application and Current Directions by Jessica Calleo, Cristina Burrows, Harvey Levin, Laura Marsh, Eugene Lai, Michele K. York

“…Current studies on cognitive rehabilitation in PD demonstrate feasibility and acceptability of a cognitive rehabilitation program for patients with PD, but are limited by their small sample size and data regarding generalization of effects over the long term. Because PD involves progressive heterogeneous physical, neurological, and affective difficulties, future cognitive rehabilitation programs should aim for flexibility and individualization, according to each patient's strengths and deficits.…”
