Global Dynamics of Rational Difference Equations xn+1=xn+xn-1/q+ynyn-1 and yn+1=yn+yn-1/p+xnxn-1 by Keying Liu, Peng Li, Weizhou Zhong

“…Global dynamics of a system of nonlinear difference equations was investigated, which had five kinds of equilibria including isolated points and a continuum of nonhyperbolic equilibria along the coordinate axes. The local stability of these equilibria was analyzed which led to nine regions in the parameters space. …”

A Recognition Methodology for the Key Geometric Errors of a Multi-Axis Machine Tool Based on Accuracy Retentivity Analysis by Shijie Guo, Shufeng Tang, Dongsheng Zhang

“…The results show that the variation in the spatial error vector is nonlinear while considering the operation time of the machine tool and the position of the motion axes. Based on this aspect, key factors are extracted that simultaneously consider the correlation, similarity, and sensitivity of the geometric error terms, and the results reveal that the effect of the position-independent geometric errors (PIGEs) on the error vectors of the position and orientation is greater than that of the position-dependent geometric errors (PDGEs) of the linear and rotary axes. …”

Improving the quality of cast metal of pipeline valves by modification of dispersed inoculators by E. N. Eremin, G. N. Minnekhanov, R. G. Minnekhanov

“…An integrated approach to the melt preparation in electroslag casting is proposed including its deep deoxidation with a rare earth metal agent and introducing a modifying complex containing nanodispersed pyrocarbon particles, which forms a fine ferrite-pearlite structure with small globular nonmetallic inclusions located in the dendrite axes. This permits to produce castings made of wide class of steels with a high cold resistance level.…”

Pleomorphic adenoma of the parapharyngeal space by Anas Douami, Oussama Marsafi, Aicha Merzem, Hasnaa Belgadir, Omar Amriss, Nadia Moussali, Naima Elbenna

“…Considering the volume of the tumor, the complexity of the space and the potential difficulties of excision, an imaging work-up including at least computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and possibly analysis of the vascular axes (angio-MRI, arteriography) is essential. Treatment of these tumors is essentially surgical. …”

Faster backtracking algorithms for the generation of symmetry-invariant permutations by Oscar Moreno, John Ramírez, Dorothy Bollman, Edusmildo Orozco

“…A new backtracking algorithm is developed for generating classes of permutations, that are invariant under the group G4 of rigid motions of the square generated by reflections about the horizontal and vertical axes. Special cases give a new algorithm for generating solutions of the classical n-queens problem, as well as a new algorithm for generating Costas sequences, which are used in encoding radar and sonar signals. …”
