Modeling of the Land Mobile Satellite Channel considering the Terminal’s Driving Direction by Marie Rieche, Alexander Ihlow, Daniel Arndt, Fernando Pérez-Fontán, Giovanni Del Galdo

“…In this contribution we show that the impact of the driving direction on the channel statistics is not negligible and requires to be modeled explicitly. Moreover, we propose a statistical LMS channel model whose parameters are obtained via an image-based state estimation method. …”

Effects of Evaporation and Body Thermal Plume on Cough Droplet Dispersion and Exposure Risk for Queuing People by Fengjiao Li, Guoyi Jiang, Fei Chen, Weibin Yuan

“…The body thermal plume affected airflow and particle dispersion under weak wind conditions, but its effect was negligible at wind speeds greater than 0.8 m/s. Droplets smaller than 100 μm could reach the head of a susceptible person, suggesting a high exposure risk. …”

The Application of Mechanical-Chemical Corrosion Theory in Downhole Tubing CO2 Corrosion Research by Peike Zhu, Wei Yan, Liyu Deng, Jingen Deng

“…However, the influence of N2 pressure on CO2 corrosion during the simulating experiment is negligible. Because the coupon stress induced by additional N2 pressure is very low, therefore, the N2 adding procedure can be cancelled and a more safety working space for researchers will be created. …”

Preparation of AgBiS2 thin films with vapor-assisted solution method for flexible near-infrared photodetectors by Zhirong Liu, Xiongjie Li, Xiaoting Ma, Haixuan Yu, Wanpeng Yang, Ronghua Luo, Yuping Liu, Yan Shen, Mingkui Wang

“…Meanwhile, after 2700 bending cycles, the flexible devices retain strong bending stability with a negligible decrease in photocurrent. We also built a hemispherical apparatus based on the AgBiS2 flexible NPD to demonstrate its wide-angle detection capability.…”

Stationary solutions to a hybrid viscous hydrodynamic model with classical boundaries by Federica Di Michele, Bruno Rubino, Rosella Sampalmieri, Kateryna Stiepanova

“…The approach presented here, which has already been proposed in previous works, consists in considering an intrinsically hybrid version of the Bohm potential, which acts only in the region of the domain where quantum effects play an important role, while it disappears where the quantum contribution is essentially negligible and the operation of the device can be well described by using a classical model. …”

Squeeze Film Dampers Executing Small Amplitude Circular-Centered Orbits in High-Speed Turbomachinery by Sina Hamzehlouia, Kamran Behdinan

“…The proposed pressure distribution model only accounts for unsteady (temporal) inertia terms, since based on order of magnitude analysis, for small amplitude motions of the journal center, the effect of convective inertia is negligible relative to unsteady (temporal) inertia. …”

Le mouvement vivant. Critique du corps machine by François Félix

“…Les problèmes que ce schéma théorique rencontre sont cependant nombreux : en dissociant comme il le fait l’occasion du mouvement d’avec sa réalisation, en réduisant l’organisme à une série de processus spécifiques séparés et programmés, il néglige le rapport actif de l’être vivant à son milieu, appauvrit donc la réalité corporelle et psychique vécue, et s’avère ainsi inapte à ressaisir l’insertion fondamentale de l’homme dans son monde. …”
