Gilded-Age Entrepreneurs and Local Notables: The Case of the California “Big Four,” 1861-1877 by Evelyne Payen-Variéras

“…The associates’ decisions in their dealings with business partners, professionals and politicians in Northern California did not reflect simple alternatives between integration and market transactions as described in the classical Chandlerian synthesis and the mid-twentieth century theory of the firm. The paper highlights the significance of partnership agreements, credit relations and negotiations with local boosters and politicians. …”

Inventory by Andrew Leach

“…The paper addresses the function of contemporary PhD research in light of a) the so-called historiographical turn in architectural history, theory and criticism research consolidated in the last decade or so; b) the broader positions in which critical and historical knowledge and practices are implicated within present-day architectural culture; and c) the particular circumstances of PhD research in architecture in Australian universities. …”

Two New Generalizations of Extended Bernoulli Polynomials and Numbers, and Umbral Calculus by Nabiullah Khan, Mohd Ghayasuddin, Dojin Kim, Junesang Choi

“…Then, we investigate certain properties and formulas of these newly introduced polynomials and numbers such as explicit representations, addition formulas, integral formulas, differential formulas, inequalities, and inequalities involving their integrals. Also, by using the theory of umbral calculus, five additional formulas regarding these new polynomials are provided. …”

VARIANTS FOR EVALUATING THE RIGIDITY OF FLAT RING FLANGES by RADU I. IATAN, GHEORGHITA TOMESCU, MELANIA CORLECIUC (MITUCA), GEORGETA ROMAN (URSE), NICOLETA SPOREA, IULIANA- MARLENA PRODEA, IOLANDA CONSTANTA PANAIT

“… This paper describes an analytical way of comparative evaluation of the stiffnesses developed in assemblies with flat ring flanges, of optional type, welded to the cylindrical body of a pressure vessel. Based on the theory of the compatibility of deformations (radial displacements and rotations), the mathematical expressions necessary for the evaluation of the unitary radial bending moments and the unitary shearing forces of connection are established. …”

Bipartite Consensus Control of Multiagent Systems on Coopetition Networks by Jiangping Hu

“…Under a weak connectivity assumption that the coopetition network has a spanning tree, some sufficient conditions are derived for bipartite consensus of multiagent systems with the help of a structural balance theory. Finally, simulation results are provided to demonstrate the bipartite consensus formation.…”
