Climatological Statistics of Extreme Geomagnetic Fluctuations With Periods From 1 s to 60 min by N. C. Rogers, J. A. Wild, E. F. Eastoe, J. Hübert

“…Rates of exceedance are explained by reference to the magneto‐ionospheric processes dominant in different latitude and MLT sectors, including ULF waves, interplanetary shocks, auroral substorm currents, and traveling convection vortices. By fitting generalized Pareto tail distributions above P99.97, we predict return levels (RLs) for Rn and Sn over return periods of between 5 and 500 years. …”

Complémentarité et discordances entre sources textuelles et sources archéo-anthropologiques en contexte de crises de mortalité par épidémie. Études de cas by Dominique Castex, Patrice Georges, Philippe Blanchard

“…Our results already allow us to bring new light to the history of epidemics; on one hand they highlight aspects very different from those generally admitted in context of crises of mortality ( mastered management of corpses, integration of the deaths by epidemic, etc.), on the other hand, they commit us to be particularly watchful as for the origin of the epidemics proposed by certain written sources.…”

EMG-Based Continuous Estimation of Index Finger Movements With Varying Interjoint Coordination Patterns by Modeling Musculoskeletal Dynamics by Trenton A. Gilstrap, Mada M. Alghamdi, Thanh Phan, Sang Wook Lee

“…Surface electromyography (EMG) is widely used for predicting kinematics of intended finger movements in applications including teleoperation. Generally, ‘black-box’ models with high complexity such as neural networks (NN) were used to improve prediction accuracy, which may not reproduce other important movement characteristics such as smoothness or kinematic similarity. …”

The characteristics of Roman Private Law Sources by K. S. Naumenko

“…It is argued that the key sources of Roman Private Law should be divided into the following groups: laws (leges) – these were normative acts issued by the legislative bodies of the Roman Republic or Empire (the most important laws were the XII Tables (Lex Duodecim Tabularum), which became the first codified law in Roman history); customs (mores) – these were the norms of behaviour which were generally recognised by the Roman public (customs arose from complex relationships between people and resolved certain issues which laws did not regulate); judicial decisions (iudicia) were court decisions that served as an example for subsequent decisions in similar cases (they were considered one of the most important sources of Roman Private Law, as they ensured legal stability and progressive development of law); legal writings (responsa, iura, commentarii) were works of famous Roman lawyers containing legal opinions and views on various issues of law (they became an important source of law as they provided interpretation of laws and established legal practice); agreements (pacta) were agreements between parties on certain issues (they played an important role in Roman Private Law as they provided legal protection to the parties and regulated their relations). …”
