Retracing Hotbeds of the 1918–19 Influenza Pandemic. Spatial Differences in Seasonal Excess Mortality in the Netherlands by Rick J. Mourits, Ruben Schalk, Albert Meroño-Peñuela, Joe Raad, Auke Rijpma, Bram van den Hout, Richard L. Zijdeman

“…Furthermore, neighboring municipalities resembled one another in how severely they were affected, but only for the second wave that hit the Netherlands in autumn 1918. This non-random spatial distribution of excess mortality in autumn 1918 suggests that regional differences affected the spread of the disease.…”

The Influence of Communication Range on Connectivity for Resilient Wireless Sensor Networks Using a Probabilistic Approach by Yuanjiang Huang, José-Fernán Martínez, Juana Sendra, Lourdes López

“…This paper focuses on the influence of communication range on the probability that all nodes are connected under two conditions, respectively: (1) all nodes have the same communication range, and (2) communication range of each node is a random variable. In the former case, this work proves that, for 0 < ε < e − 1 , if the probability of the network being connected is 0.36 ε , by means of increasing communication range by constant C ( ε ) , the probability of network being connected is at least 1 − ε . …”

Calculation Method of Geometrical Center and Tooth Profile Error Calculation of Large Cylindrical Gear by Zhao Jun, Ye Ting, Guo Tiantai, Kong Ming, Wang Daodang, Lu Shouchuang

“…The simulation results show that after adding random noise of the amplitude of 0 318 μm on the grade 8 large gear,the calculated maximum error of gear geometrical center is less than or equal to 1 μm,while the gear tooth profile error between the theoretical value and calculated result is less than or equal to 10 μm,which suggests that the method can be effectively applied to the measurement of large cylindrical gears.…”

Symmetries, variational principles, and quantum dynamics by J. Manjavidze, A. Sissakian

“…The argument of this δ-function is the sum of all classical forces of the problem under consideration plus the random force of quantum excitations. Such measure establishes the one-to-one correspondence with classical mechanics and, for this reason, allows a free choice of the useful dynamical variables. …”

À quel(s) public(s) s’adresse Darwin ? L’Origine des Espèces, entre ouvrage scientifique, œuvre littéraire, et texte de vulgarisation by Camille Debras

“…As the literary dimension of the book blurs the limit between the popular and the learned, Darwin tries to reconcile the core dichotomy between the religious and the agnostic reader by an ambiguous reference to the agency of natural selection : is it merely a random natural process, or literally a transcending agent, another version of God’s action in the theory of evolution ?…”

On the return process with refractoriness for a non-homogeneous Ornstein-Uhlenbeck neuronal model by Virginia Giorno, Serena Spina

“…For this model, we construct the return process describing the membrane potential.It is a non homogeneous Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with jumps on which the effect of random refractoriness is introduced. An asymptotic analysis of the process modeling the number of firings and the distribution of interspike intervals is performed under the assumption of exponential distribution for the firing time.Some numerical evaluations are performed to provide quantitative information on the role of the parameters.…”
