Multiobjective Topology Optimization of Spatial-Structure Joints by Nanhai Zhu, Jinlei Liu

“…Subsequently, under the constraint of the volume fraction, the multiobjective topology optimization of joints is realized by minimizing the multiobjective function. Finally, the optimized structure is smoothed to obtain a smoother joint, and its mechanical properties are compared with those of the hollow ball joint. …”

Model Reduction of the Flexible Rotating Crankshaft of a Motorcycle Engine Cranktrain by Stefano Ricci, Marco Troncossi, Alessandro Rivola

“…The mode selection procedure is emphasized here: a measure of modal dynamic importance, namely the effective interface mass fraction, is used to rank fixed-interface normal modes based upon their contribution to loads at the substructure interface; choosing the modal base according to such ranking leads to a minimal yet accurate representation.…”

The Potential for Dams to Impact Lowland Meandering River Floodplain Geomorphology by Philip M. Marren, James R. Grove, J. Angus Webb, Michael J. Stewardson

“…Such effects will persist further downstream where tributary sediment inputs are relatively low and there is minimal buffering by alluvial sediment stores. We can identify several ways in which floodplains might potentially be affected by dams, with varying degrees of confidence, including a distinction between passive impacts (floodplain disconnection) and active impacts (changes in geomorphological processes and functioning). …”

Mechanics Design of Conical Spiral Structure for Flexible Coilable Antenna Array by Hairui Wang, Yao Zhang, Siyu Chen, Yinji Ma, Heling Wang, Ying Chen, Xue Feng

“…Compared to traditional deployable antenna, flexible coilable antenna array has higher surface precision and better vibration control and therefore is more suitable for high frequency communication. In order to minimize the weight of satellite and reduce cost of its launch, a design guideline to the geometry parameters of flexible coilable antenna array is crucial. …”

Pramipexole Extended Release: A Novel Treatment Option in Parkinson's Disease by Wolfram Eisenreich, Bernd Sommer, Sebastian Hartter, Wolfgang H. Jost

“…This is considerable progress in regard to minimizing pill burden and enhancing compliance. Moreover, the 24 h continuous drug release of the once-daily extended-release formulation results in fewer fluctuations in plasma concentrations over time compared to immediate-release pramipexole, given three times daily. …”

Legal protection of KSPPS members in the use of the exoneration clause in Central Java by Moh. Arifin, Ali Maskur, Afif Noor

“…The results of this study indicate that the standard agreement containing the exoneration clause is still often used by KSPPS, therefore it is necessary to disseminate information to cooperative managers and cooperative members in order to minimize the use of standard agreements containing exoneration clauses so that the rights of the parties can be fulfilled and avoid elements of defects of will which is contrary to the principles in the agreement.…”

Volunteer commitment and longevity in community-based conservation in Aotearoa New Zealand by Charlotte P. Sextus, Karen F. Hytten, Paul Perry

“…This research showed that the key long-term motivation factors are ‘to care for the environment’, ‘to help the local community’, ‘to be outside, or amongst nature’ and to have ‘a connection to nature’. There was minimal change between long-term and initial motivation factors, with only three motivation factors increasing in importance; ‘to socialise with others’, ‘for stress relief or escape’ and ‘to help the local community', and one decreasing in importance; ‘to learn new skills and knowledge’. …”
