Bursting Oscillations in Shimizu-Morioka System with Slow-Varying Periodic Excitation by Xindong Ma, Shuqian Cao

“…Second, complicated dynamic behaviors are analyzed when the slow-varying parameter passes through different bifurcation points, of which the mechanisms of four different bursting patterns, namely, symmetric “homoclinic/homoclinic” bursting oscillation, symmetric “fold/Hopf” bursting oscillation, symmetric “fold/fold” bursting oscillation, and symmetric “Hopf/Hopf” bursting oscillation via “fold/fold” hysteresis loop, are revealed with different values of the parameter b by means of the transformed phase portrait. Finally, we can find that the time interval between two symmetric adjacent spikes of bursting oscillations exhibits dependency on the periodic excitation frequency.…”

El Madrid de la Bestia : l’apocalypse urbaine d’Álex de la Iglesia by Diane Bracco

“…This article proposes an analysis of the variations on the apocalyptic theme, cornerstone of contemporary Madrid’s cinematographical portrait that the director paints in his movie. Through the deployment of strategies of grotesque distortion, de la Iglesia invites us to see in his filmic re-elaboration of the metropolis the metonymy of a Spain that has lost all its points of reference: while taking possession of the urban landscape, integrated into a spectacular production, de la Iglesia lifts the veil on the paradoxes of a postindustrial society which longs for modernization, at the dawn of the third millennium, although it still harbours the residues of a dictatorial past that the advent of democracy has not enabled to eradicate.…”
