Provide a Framework for the Application of Open Policy Making in Parliament of Iran by Mohsen Eynali, Seyed Abbas Ebrahimi, Mohsen Farhadinejad, Hasan Danaeefard

“…The anticipated outcomes of adopting open policy making are manifold. They include achieving more optimal policy adoption through collaborative efforts, garnering robust stakeholder support for the implementation of desired policies, enhancing access to critical data for both elites and the general public, significantly increasing public participation in the policy-making process, and substantially boosting public trust in governing institutions, such as the Shura Council. …”

Professionalisation and governance in sports organisations: towards an integrated understanding by Raphael Stieger, Siegfried Nagel, Grazia Lang

“…While poor governance structures can promote professionalisation processes, governance structures and processes may also hinder organisational professionalisation, such as rent-seeking by directors or democratic structures. (2) Professionalisation of governance structures and processes is discussed in manifold ways. In a narrow sense, the appointment of ‘governance professionals’ or the transfer of decision-making power from volunteers to paid executives is described. …”

Nonlinear Normal Modes in a Two-Stage Isolator Using a Modified Finite-Element Galerkin Method by Cheng Li, Hongguang Li

“…The presented approach applies a combination of finite-element discretization and Fourier series expansion for the approximate invariant manifolds. A Galerkin projection of the governing equations for the approximate invariant manifolds yields a set of nonlinear algebraic equations in expansion coefficients, which can be solved numerically with a general choice of zero as initial guess for the cases in this work. …”

The spectral torsion for the Connes type operator by Jian Wang, Yong Wang

“…Abstract This paper aims to provide an explicit computation of the spectral torsion associated with the Connes type operator on even dimension compact manifolds. And we also extend the spectral torsion for the Connes type operator to compact manifolds with boundary.…”

Swampland bounds on magnetized extra dimensions by Yuta Hamada, Maki Takeuchi

“…Abstract We consider a six-dimensional U(1) gauge theory compactified on two-dimensional manifolds. The number of chiral fermions is determined by the flux quantization number on the two-dimensional compact manifolds. …”

Multiply Warped Products with a Semisymmetric Metric Connection by Yong Wang

“…We study the Einstein multiply warped products with a semisymmetric metric connection and the multiply warped products with a semisymmetric metric connection with constant scalar curvature, and we apply our results to generalized Robertson-Walker space-times with a semisymmetric metric connection and generalized Kasner space-times with a semisymmetric metric connection and find some new examples of Einstein manifolds with a semisymmetric metric connection and manifolds with constant scalar curvature with a semisymmetric metric connection.…”

LNC points for m-convex sets by Marilyn Breen

“…If q is an essential lnc point of order k then for some neighborhood U of q, Q⋂U is expressible as a union of k or fewer (d−2)-dimensional manifolds, each containing q For S compact, if to every q∈Q there corresponds a k>0 such that q is an essential lnc point of order k then Q may be written as a finite union of (d−2)-manifolds.…”

Linear algebra and differential geometry on abstract Hilbert space by Alexey A. Kryukov

“…In the paper this simple observation is used to construct a fruitful formalism of local coordinates on Hilbert manifolds. Images of charts on manifolds in the formalism are allowed to belong to arbitrary Hilbert spaces of functions including spaces of generalized functions. …”

Embedding Feynman integral (Calabi-Yau) geometries in weighted projective space by Jacob L. Bourjaily, Andrew J. McLeod, Cristian Vergu, Matthias Volk, Matt von Hippel, Matthias Wilhelm

“…Abstract It has recently been demonstrated that Feynman integrals relevant to a wide range of perturbative quantum field theories involve periods of Calabi-Yau manifolds of arbitrarily large dimension. While the number of Calabi-Yau manifolds of dimension three or higher is considerable (if not infinite), those relevant to most known examples come from a very simple class: degree-2k hypersurfaces in k-dimensional weighted projective space WP1,...,1,k . …”
