Optimal Selling Strategies under Regime-Switching Market Environment with Finite Expiry by Jie Xing, Taoshun He

“…Moreover, it reveals that when the risk-free interest rate is always lower than the return rate of the stock, it is never optimal to sell the stock early; otherwise, one should sell the stock in bear market if the stock price reaches a critical value and hold the stock in bull market until the maturity date. …”

Comprehensive Evaluation of Talent Growth Factor Index System Based on Hesitant Fuzzy Language by Xueer Ji, Lei Wang, Huifeng Xue

“…In this study, based on the theory of “Man-Machine-Environment” system engineering (MMESE), the MMESE talent growth factor index system is proposed and verified for its effectiveness by comparing it with the traditional system. Based on the text-free grammar and transformation function, expert judgments of talent growth factor indexes were transformed into hesitation fuzzy language terms, namely, pertinence, systematicness, practicability, foresight, and dynamics, which were then used to create a dataset to describe the comprehensive evaluation of the index system. …”

Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum from Running Sprints by Joseph W. Turban

“…Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is a fairly rare condition, caused by increased intrathoracic pressure, leading to free air in the mediastinal structures. Underlying lung conditions are associated with increased incidence of SPM, including asthma, interstitial lung disease, pneumonia, bullous lung, and radiation therapy for lung cancer. …”

Delay-Dependent H∞ Control for Descriptor Markovian Jump Systems with Time-Varying Delay by Jinghao Li, Qingling Zhang, Ding Zhai, Yi Zhang

“…By constructing various Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals for different subsystems, together with delay decomposition method, a new delay-dependent bounded real lemma (BRL) is derived, under which descriptor Markovian jump time-delay systems are regular, impulse-free, and stochastically stable and satisfy a prescribed H∞ performance level. …”

Metamorphoses of Corpus Christi: Eucharistic Processions & Clashes in Fifteenth- and Sixteenth-Century Vienna by Károly Goda

“…As shown through a qualitative sequence of case studies, the form of Eucharistic processions in Vienna was neither an act of unity, nor a value-free tool of religious thoughts. On the contrary, the regulations and orders of marches always involved acts of power from external authorities (clerical, archducal, academic and so on) imposing their political, social and cultural agenda on non-ndividualized groups of people. …”
