On local strength of a spherical vessel with pits distributed along the equator by Daria D. Okulova, Liana A. Almazova, Olga S. Sedova, Yulia G. Pronina

“…The dependencies of the stress concentration factor on the number of the pits are compared for linearly elastic and elastic-plastic material with hardening. The behavior of the vessels made of elastic and elastoplastic materials turns out to be qualitatively different. …”

«È stato perché sono uscita di casa». Esperienze di prostitute a confronto con i modelli di femminilità proposti a Mekelle (Tigray, Etiopia) by Altea Vatteroni

“…It will reflect on the contradictions these models of identity bring into play, forcing women to make uncertain choices, and on their pervasiveness, which permeates the discourses and individual behavior. The result is a very confused reality, constantly caught between what people should do and what they would like to do, where women's actions demand the possibility of a new way of being modern.…”

Global stability in a tuberculosis model of imperfect treatment with age-dependent latency and relapse by Shanjing Ren

“…We obtain the global behavior of the model in terms of $R_{0}$. If $R_{0} \lt 1$, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, whereas if $R_{0} \gt 1$, a Lyapunov functional is used to show that the endemic equilibrium is globally stable amongst solutions for which the disease is present.…”

Communication by Tandem Running in the Ant Genus Cardiocondyla by Edward O. Wilson

“…During field work in Puerto Rico in June,196o, the author had the opportunity to study a hitherto little known form of communication among worker ants. This behavior, which for convenience might be called tandem running, involves the movement outward from the nest of closely coupled tandem pairs, and it apparently functions as a substitute or trail-laying to recruit fellow workers to food sources. …”
