Incompressible limit for the compressible viscoelastic fluids in critical space by Han Bin, Wu Dan

“…We decouple our compressible system into two coupling sub-systems by introducing a skew symmetric matrix, which is related to the deformation tensor. This work generalizes the similar result obtained by Hu et al. …”

Calculation Method for the Critical Thickness of a Karst Cave Roof at the Bottom of a Socketed Pile by Nie Qingke, Li Xilai, Yuan Wei, Wang Anli, Wang Wei, Jia Xiangxin, Shang Weidong

“…In this study, we present an approach for calculating the critical thickness-to-diameter ratio of a karst cave roof η (η = h/d, the ratio of karst cave roof thickness to pile diameter) based on the generalized Hoek–Brown criterion by virtue of the limit analysis method, which considers the pile tip load, hardness degree of the intact rock, and rock mass quality. …”

Historical Topicality in Arnold Bennett and Edward Knoblock’s Milestones by Lukas Klik

“…Moreover I also consider these references in the context of the aim of the playwrights in writing the play more generally. Here, I suggest that the topical allusions serve to underpin the play’s main point about the necessity to accept change, especially with regard to the role of women, by illustrating the inevitability of change. …”

Deghosting, Demultiple, and Deblurring in Controlled-Source Seismic Interferometry by Joost van der Neut, Maria Tatanova, Jan Thorbecke, Evert Slob, Kees Wapenaar

“…With controlled-source seismic interferometry we aim to redatum sources to downhole receiver locations without requiring a velocity model. Interferometry is generally based on a source integral over cross-correlation (CC) pairs of full, perturbed (time-gated), or decomposed wavefields. …”

Total Quality Management, British Standard accreditation, Investors In People and academic libraries by V. Mistry, R.C. Usherwood

“…There has been much in the library and information services (LIS) literature on the merits or otherwise of such systems; for quality is accepted generally, or as Chase (1988) declares, 'quality is no longer an option - it is a positive requirement for the 1990s. …”

Innovation of Teaching Method of Digital Media Art Based on Convolutional Neural Network by Yumei Liu

“…The scheme proposed in this study divides the video frame into image blocks and then uses the BDCT transform to convert the video frame from the spatial domain to the frequency domain. Generally speaking, the DCT coefficient has the characteristic of energy concentration. …”

Novel Evaluation of Fuzzy Fractional Cauchy Reaction-Diffusion Equation by Nehad Ali Shah, Essam R. El-Zahar, Hina M. Dutt, Mohammad Asif Arefin

“…With the help of Atangana-Baleanu under generalized Hukuhara differentiability, we show that this system works well by getting fractional fuzzy Cauchy reaction-diffusion equations with the initial fuzzy condition. …”

An Improved Micromechanical Framework for Saturated Concrete Repaired by the Electrochemical Deposition Method considering the Imperfect Bonding by Qing Chen, Zhengwu Jiang, Hehua Zhu, J. Woody Ju, Zhiguo Yan, Yaqiong Wang

“…In this extension, the imperfect bonding is characterized by the ITZ, whose effects are calculated by modifying the generalized self-consistent model. Meanwhile, new multilevel homogenization schemes are employed to predict the effective properties of repaired concrete considering the ITZ effects. …”

An Immunomodulatory Device Improves Insulin Resistance in Obese Porcine Model of Metabolic Syndrome by Angela J. Westover, Kimberly A. Johnston, Deborah A. Buffington, H. David Humes

“…Specific approaches targeting monocytes/ATM may improve insulin resistance without the adverse side effects of generalized immunosuppression. In this regard, a biomimetic membrane leukocyte processing device, called the selective cytopheretic device (SCD), was evaluated in an Ossabaw miniature swine model of insulin resistance with metabolic syndrome. …”

Japan’s Peacekeeping at a Crossroads by Hiromi Nagata, Fujishige, Yuji Uesugi and Tomoaki Honda by Muhammad Rayyan Faisal

“…While the book’s language is accessible, certain word choices introduce casualness, and its discussion of Global North-South troop contributions risks generalization. Despite these limitations, the book provides valuable insights into Japan’s peacekeeping policy, balancing international expectations with domestic constraints, and opens avenues for further research on Japan’s anti-militarist stance and developed states’ limited troop contributions to UNPKOs. …”
