Théorie de la régulation : la perspective oubliée du développement by Noureddine El Aoufi

“…The examination of the research program over thirty years stresses the idea of a western-centered orientation of the recent works and a progressive tendency to a restriction of the field of analysis to the variety of canonic fordism, especially that of Western countries.This self-reference system is more than territorial insofar as it deals with an approach that gives substance to capitalism by looking inside its system for the fundamental laws, whereas peripheries are only ad hoc and over-determined configurations.Second, the development perspective is brought out as a constituent generality of capitalism that declines in specific trajectories of the sub-fordism variety. …”

Pricing of Proactive Hedging European Option with Dynamic Discrete Position Strategy by Meng Li, Xuefeng Wang, Fangfang Sun

“…It extends the classical European option by requiring option holders to continuously trade in underlying assets according to a predesigned trading strategy, to proactively hedge part of the potential risk from underlying asset price changes. To generalize this option design for practical application, in this study, a proactive hedging option with discrete trading strategy is developed and its pricing formula is deducted assuming the underlying asset price follows Geometric Fractional Brownian Motion. …”

A Unified Elastoplastic Model of Unsaturated Soils Considering Capillary Hysteresis by Tiantian Ma, Changfu Wei, Pan Chen, Huihui Tian, De'an Sun

“…Within this context, a constitutive model of unsaturated soils is developed by generalizing the modified Cam-Clay model. A hardening function is introduced, in which both the matric suction and the degree of saturation are explicitly included as hardening variables, so that the effect of hydraulic history on the mechanical response can be properly addressed. …”

Effect of Location of Delamination on Free Vibration of Cross-Ply Conical Shells by Sudip Dey, Amit Karmakar

“…In this paper, a finite element method is employed to determine the effects of location of delamination on free vibration characteristics of graphite-epoxy cross-ply composite pre-twisted shallow conical shells. The generalized dynamic equilibrium equation is derived from Lagrange's equation of motion neglecting Coriolis effect for moderate rotational speeds. …”
