Concept, features and types of civil legal relations by K. S. Naumenko

“…Attention is drawn to the fact that civil legal relations are regulated not only by the rules of civil law, in particular, this is indicated by such a principle as freedom of contract in civil law. In other words, the content of civil law contracts may go beyond the legal relations provided for by the Civil Code of Ukraine. …”

Vibration Response Analysis of a Tethered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle System under Transient Wind Field by Wei He, Suxia Zhang

“…Considering both cable and UAV motions, the coupled dynamic equations of the tethered UAV system are established based on the Hamilton principle. The variation law of the cable vibration amplitudes with wind field and position is analyzed through a one-minus-cosine gust profile to describe the transient wind field, which can evaluate the dynamic behavior of systems in the actual flight. …”

Comparing Two Strategies to Model Uncertainties in Structural Dynamics by Rubens Sampaio, Edson Cataldo

“…In both cases, the probability density functions either of the random parameters or of the random matrix are deduced from the Maximum Entropy Principle using only the available information. With this example, some important results can be discussed, which cannot be assessed when complex structures are used, as it has been done so far in the literature. …”
