A New Method for Determining Optimal Regularization Parameter in Near-Field Acoustic Holography by Yue Xiao

“…The minimization of the norm of this fictitious point source strength is as the criterion for choosing the optimal regularization parameter since the reconstructed value should tend to zero. The original inverse problem in calculating the source strengths is converted into a univariate optimization problem which is solved by a one-dimensional search technique. …”

« This » comme marqueur privilégié du genre : le cas des résumés de thèses by Geneviève Bordet

“…The application of this classification to a corpus of abstracts in the fields of mathematics education and materials science highlights an array of rhetorical strategies depending on the writer’s disciplinary and linguistic origin. We argue that the mastering of the interpretive space provided by the use of “this” helps the PhD candidate to demonstrate his/her legitimacy and authority, therefore contributing to his/her admission inside the academic community.…”

The genesis of modern Baltic nations and the nobility in the end of XVIII - first half of XIX c. (A comparative historical analysis) by Saulius Pivoras

“…As it follows from the comparison, deconstruction of the feudal social system in Lithuania made the nobility turn their attention to the peasantry and to common interests and common origins, to find out ethnogenetical community. The lack of it in relations of the Baltic Germans with the Latvians was an obstacle in the ethnosocial harmonization. …”

Potential Structural Damage Characterization through Remote Sensing Data: A Nondestructive Experimental Case Study by Marta Terrados-Cristos, Francisco Ortega-Fernández, Marina Díaz-Piloneta, Vicente Rodríguez Montequín, Javier García González

“…The experimental test results show sufficient statistical significance (p < 0.05), confirming that the areas potentially most susceptible to corrosion can be identified using information from remote sensing satellites based on orientation, wind conditions, and wind origin. This can be used to facilitate the remote design and monitoring of structures more accurately with a stability guarantee.…”

The Rank-One property for free Frobenius extensions by Bellamy, Gwyn, Thiel, Ulrich

“…Examples where the result is applicable include graded Hecke algebras, extended affine Hecke algebras, quantized enveloping algebras at roots of unity, non-commutative crepant resolutions of Gorenstein domains and 3 and 4 dimensional PI Sklyanin algebras.In particular, since the multiplicity matrix for restricted rational Cherednik algebras has the rank-one property if and only if its Cartan matrix does, our result provides a different proof of the original conjecture.…”
