The Effect of Combined Tensile-Torsional Loading Path on the Stress/Strain States of Thin-Walled Circular Tubes by Yue Gao, Fei Shao, Qian Xu, Linyue Bai, Qingna Ma, Mei Shen, Lixiang He, Ming Chen

“…The influence of tensile-torsional loading path on the final stress and strain states of thin-walled circular tubes after entering the plastic deformation stage is concretely demonstrated, facilitating the understanding of the principles of the aforementioned two effects. The investigation for a general principle concerning the effect of loading history on the mechanical behavior of engineering materials, based on the classical plastic mechanics, has an important theoretical significance. …”

Justification for Interference? The Role of the Monroe Doctrine in the Stigmatization and Legitimation of Intervention in the US Foreign Policy in the 19th and Early 20th Centuries by I. A. Istomin

“…In this regard, it is more appropriate to consider it as a rhetorical asset rather than a strict guiding principle. In general, the case of the Monroe Doctrine reveals the situational conditionality of the practices legitimizing interventions, resulting in their limited persuasiveness. …”

A Spatiotemporal Prey-Predator Discrete Model and Optimal Controls for Environmental Sustainability in the Multifishing Areas of Morocco by Amine El Bhih, Youssef Benfatah, Soukaina Ben Rhila, Mostafa Rachik, Adil El Alami Laaroussi

“…Theoretically, we have proved the existence of optimal controls, and we have given a characterization of controls in terms of states and adjoint functions based on a discrete version of Pontryagin’s maximum principle. To illustrate the theoretical results obtained, we propose numerical simulations for several scenarios applying the forward-backward sweep method (FBSM) to solve our optimality system in an iterative process.…”

A new experimental set-up for aerosol stability investigations in microgravity conditions by Graziani, Charles, Nespoulous, Mathieu, Denoyel, Renaud, Fauve, Stephan, Chauveau, Christian, Deike, Luc, Antoni, Mickaël

“…In this context, the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) has recently supported the development of a new instrument to produce populations of droplets, a few micrometers in radius, under controlled conditions with the objective of allowing a detailed study of their properties in microgravity conditions. The principle of this instrument is to generate, by a fast compression/expansion of air, populations of water droplets and to track their evolution by optical scanning tomography in transmission mode within a volume of approximately 2 mm$^{3}$. …”

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A METHODOLOGICAL INNOVATION IN THE TRAINING OF FUTURE DESIGNERS: MIDJOURNEY TOOLS by Ivan M. Tsidylo, Chele Esteve Sendra

“…The analysis of the answers confirms our assumptions about the need to form fundamental knowledge of the principle of operation of the image generation application; insufficient knowledge in visual arts as such; low ability to integrate knowledge of, one might say, opposite fields - art and exact sciences (mathematics, artificial intelligence, etc.); the lack of skills in formulating a description of images through the expression of the main categories of visual art through the linguistic means of language, whether in English or in the mother tongue. …”

Intraspecific classification of durum wheat: new botanical varieties and forms by O. A. Lyapunova

“…They were identified by a combination of characteristics such as the presence or absence of pubescent straw under the spike, pubescent or glabrous glumes, the roughness of awns (smooth or rough), glume color (white, red, gray, smoked-grayish or black on white or red background), awn color (same color as that of glumes or black), kernel color (white, red or purple). The principle of selection of botanical varieties is based on the combination of a large number of signs, giving a large number of possible options. …”

GravelSens: A Smart Gravel Sensor for High-Resolution, Non-Destructive Monitoring of Clogging Dynamics by Kaan Koca, Eckhard Schleicher, André Bieberle, Stefan Haun, Silke Wieprecht, Markus Noack

“…In this paper, we present a novel method for non-destructive, real-time measurements of pore-scale sediment deposition and monitoring of clogging by using wire-mesh sensors (WMSs) embedded in spheres, forming a smart gravel bed (GravelSens). The measuring principle is based on one-by-one voltage excitation of transmitter electrodes, followed by simultaneous measurements of the resulting current by receiver electrodes at each crossing measuring pores. …”
