Developing Smart Measurement Device to Measure Kinetic Friction Coefficients of Bi-Tilt Isolator by Ming-Hsiang Shih, Wen-Pei Sung

“…The time history of the acceleration and displacement responses of test object movements in the sliding process were respectively, recorded and detected by this proposed smart measuring device and the digital image correlation method (DIC). Statistical analyses of all test responses were used to derive the relationship of velocity to kinetic friction coefficient. …”

Holonomic modules and 1-generation in the Jacobian Conjecture by Bavula, Volodymyr V.

“…These results show that the Jacobian Conjecture, the Conjecture of Dixmier and the Poisson Conjecture are questions about holonomic modules for the Weyl algebra $A_n$ and the images of the Jacobian maps, of the endomorphisms of the Weyl algebra $A_n$ and of the Poisson endomorphisms are large in the sense that further strengthening of the results on largeness would be either to prove the conjectures or produce counter examples.A short direct algebraic (without reduction to prime characteristic) proof is given of the equivalence of the Jacobian and the Poisson Conjectures (this gives a new short proof of the equivalence of the Jacobian, Poisson and Dixmier Conjectures).…”
