Faire mémoire par le trait ou les tribulations latino-américaines de Charlie by Frédérique Langue

Efficient Convex Optimization of Reentry Trajectory via the Chebyshev Pseudospectral Method by Chun-Mei Yu, Dang-Jun Zhao, Ye Yang

“…A novel sequential convex (SCvx) optimization scheme via the Chebyshev pseudospectral method is proposed for efficiently solving the hypersonic reentry trajectory optimization problem which is highly constrained by heat flux, dynamic pressure, normal load, and multiple no-fly zones. The Chebyshev-Gauss Legend (CGL) node points are used to transcribe the original dynamic constraint into algebraic equality constraint; therefore, a nonlinear programming (NLP) problem is concave and time-consuming to be solved. …”

Troska i humor we współczesnej literaturze tubylczoamerykańskiej. Lektury osobiste by Waldemar Kuligowski

“… Literatura pisana przez pisarki i pisarzy wywodzących się z tubylczych społeczności Stanów Zjednoczonych i Kanady nie może dziś ograniczać się do zbiorów nostalgicznej poezji, antologii wzniosłych przemówień czy malowniczych wyborów mitów i legend.

The Category of Time in Fairy Tales: Searching for Folk Calendar Time in the Estonian Fairy Tale Corpus by Mairi Kaasik

“…Calendar holidays are notably mentioned more often in tale types which remain on the borderline between the fairy tale and the legend or the fairy tale and the religious tale. In Estonian fairy tales, calendar holidays are used on three levels of meaning: (1) the holiday is organically associated with the tale type; it has an essential role in the plot of the tale; (2) to a certain extent, the holiday could be replaced by another holiday having an analogous meaning; (3) the holiday forms an unimportant or occasional addition to the tale.…”
