Wideband Circularly Polarized Microstrip-Slot Antenna with Parasitic Ground Planes by Qin Huang

“…Simulation and measurement are performed on the designed antenna prototype to demonstrate the design’s rationality. The measured results depict that the measured impedance bandwidth (IBW) for |S11| < −10 dB is 36.4% (4.65 to 6.70 GHz) and the measured axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) for AR < 3 dB is 25.1% (5.01 to 6.45 GHz). …”

THE CRISIS OF THE ARCHAICAL THINKING OF THE PRINCIPAL METAPHYSICAL PROBLEM OF THE ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHY by Vytautas Rimvydas Rimvydas Litvinas

“…In that sense, both the "rational", and the "irrational" thinking should be seen as emeriging from the same sourse, albeit with different value systems: Heraclitus gave priority to the dynamics of the symbol, whereas Parmenides underlined the value of the "stability" and "identity" of the symbol. …”

Contract farming in Brazil – an approach to Law and Economics by Kassia Watanabe, Nunziata Stefania Paiva, Ana Elisa Bressan Smith Lourenzani

“…However, contract farming has its gaps since it is written in abscence of complete information, due to the behavioral assumption of bounded rationality of economic agents. A specific law might generate legal certainty for economic agents, insofar as the Judiciary fulfills the contractual gaps. …”

Balanced multiple controllers placement with latency and capacity bound in software-defined network by Kuang-yu QIN, Chuan-he HUANG, Cai-hua WANG, Jiao-li SHI, Di WU, Xi CHEN

“…By the reason that the latency between controller and switch would significantly affect the forwarding of new data flow, the rational placement of controllers would effectively improve the performance of entire network. …”

Pour un usage externe des théories de la science-fiction by Simon Bréan

Study on optimization strategy for hybrid underlay/overlay spectrum sharing based on queuing model by Jian-ping LIU, Shun-fu JIN, Bao-shuai WANG

“…In order to improve the licensed spectrum utilization in cognitive radio networks,and provide higher experience quality to system users,the optimizing strategies of the hybrid underlay/overlay spectrum sharing mode was studied.For secondary users,a queuing model with service time following two phase order exponential distribution was constructed,and a method to obtain the steady state distribution was presented for the system model.Based on reward-cost structure,individual optimization strategy with observable case and the Nash equilibrium strategy with unobservable case were discussed.With purpose of optimal social benefit and maximal spectrum incomes,the pricing policies for secondary users to use licensed spectrum were formulated.Using the system experiment,the relations among the different optimal strategies were investigated,and the rationality of the price mechanism was verified.By contrasting the optimal social benefits gained by hybrid underlay/overlay spectrum sharing mode，overlay spectrum sharing mode and underlay spectrum sharing mode,it is further shown that the social optimization strategy of hybrid overlay/underlay sharing mode is more effective and stable to fully use the spectrum resource.…”

A two-loop four-point form factor at function level by Lance J. Dixon, Shuo Xin

“…In order to do so, we find a three-parameter limit of the five-parameter phase space where the symbol’s letters are all rational. We also use function-level information about dihedral symmetries and the soft, collinear, and factorization limits, as well as limits governed by the form-factor operator product expansion (FFOPE). …”

Julien Pharo, Démocratie d’entreprise et fiscalité. Enjeux théoriques et pratiques de la mise en place d’une fiscalité incitative procédurale by Julien Pharo

“…The PIT is therefore based on the project of transforming the organisational structure of the company in an ethico-political sense by encouraging the deployment of practical reason, as opposed to the instrumental incentive taxation (IIT) which only targets the results of behaviour, and in particular market prices, with the indirect effect of reinforcing the predominance of instrumental rationality within the company. This thesis has enabled us not only to re-examine the possibility of public action to democratise business, but also to question the meaning of tax incentives from the point of view of the public authorities. …”

Rhyme or Reason: Three Patterns of Poetic Interference in the British Crime Novel by Camille Fort-Cantoni

“…In Agatha Christie’s Crooked House, the nursery rhyme in the title is merely submitted by the detective to a rational, analogical reading. Now an irrational reading, based on Freud’s interpretation of dreams, might show that the poem’s signifiers all reveal one unspeakable statement: a child has killed. …”
