A dimensional analysis approach to fatigue in quasi-brittle materials by Marco Paggi

“…In this study, a generalized Barenblatt and Botvina dimensional analysis approach to fatigue crack growth is proposed in order to highlight and explain the deviations from the classical power-law equations used to characterize the fatigue behaviour of quasi-brittle materials. …”

Monologue intérieur et discours rapporté : une union problématique ? by Florence FLOQUET

“…While interior monologue is generally described as an autonomous discourse incompatible with narration, I want to show that far from being an oxymoron a reported interior monologue is possible and is in fact the most frequent form for this narratological category. …”

Backward Stochastic Differential Equations Coupled with Value Function and Related Optimal Control Problems by Tao Hao, Juan Li

“…By making use of a new, more direct approach, we prove that our nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation has a unique viscosity solution in the space of continuous functions of at most polynomial growth. These results generalize the corresponding conclusions given by Buckdahn et al. (2009) in the case without control.…”

“I feare to prefixe to these few poems a long epistle”: Dedications, Addresses to the Reader and Generic Influences by Béatrice Chaix Rouchon

“…Because of its protean nature, paratextual material could be viewed as a category which combines items that have various generic characteristics, generally taking from other genres. The dedication and the address to the reader thus derive from the epistolary genre, though with editorial and formal adaptations that this article will study. …”

Research on the game of information security investment based on the Gordon-Loeb model by Qin WANG, Jianming ZHU

“…In order to study the impacts of externalities of information security investment,the Gordon-Loeb model was extended to a multi-organization game environment.The relationships of the optimal information security investment with vulnerability,potential loss and investment effectiveness when confronted with different attack types under the positive and negative externalities were obtained respectively,and the difference with the optimal information security investment under the social optimum condition was compared.The results show that there were some similarities in the varying pattern of information security investment between the condition of the positive externality and a single organization,but information security investment under the negative externality changes greatly and was generally more cautious,and attack types also have important impacts on information security investment.…”
