Shrub encroachment in pastures in the Alps by Olivier Camacho, Laurent Dobremez, Alain Capillon

“…Even if cutting makes it possible to effectively control the encroachment by woody species, this is not true for uncut pastures where grazing is not able to keep up with grass production. This situation is repeated every year and is the likely cause of the colonisation by woody species. …”

The Clinical History and Basic Science Origins of Transcutaneous Osseointegration for Amputees by Jason Shih Hoellwarth, Kevin Tetsworth, Muhammad Adeel Akhtar, Munjed Al Muderis

“…Unfortunately, the current mainstream TOFA literature presents almost exclusively subsequent developments, generally omitting prior research, leading to some historical mistakes being repeated. Given the increasing interest and surgical volume of TOFA, this literature review was performed to delineate TOFA’s basic science and surgical origins and to integrate these early efforts within the contemporary understanding. …”

Complete Histological Resolution of Collagenous Sprue by Hugh J Freeman, Jennifer E Davis, Danny M Myers

“…An apparent treatment response to a gluten-free diet and prednisone resulted in reduced diarrhea, weight gain and normalization of serum albumin. Later repeated biopsies from multiple small and large bowel sites over a period of over three years, however, showed reversion to normal small intestinal mucosa but persistent collagenous colitis. …”

Research on worm propagation model in IPv6 networks by SU Fei1, LIN Zhao-wen1, MA Yan1, YANG Xiao-ming3

“…A wide variety of scanning strategies for IPv6 networks when a worm scans across subnets and inside subnets was investigated.A P2P-based mechanism for decreasing the repeated infection and implementing control strategies was discussed,and a new hybrid worm named NHIW,which can form large-scale propagation in IPv6 network,was also constructed.The NHIW can not only scan the worm randomly,but also can quickly obtain IP addresses of susceptible active hosts in the subnet as well.Furthermore,NHIW is able to prevent re-infection of the host.Through analyzing the delay in different stage of NHIW propagation and its propagation rate,a full NHIW propagation model TLWPM was established.Experimental results show that NHIW can form a flooding propagation in the IPv6 network.With respect to the features of NHIW,some relevant defense strategies were discussed finally.…”

A new method to improve 5G coverage of urban grid roads by Yejiang ZHANG, Jie CHEN, Jian HU, Xiaokang YANG, Yun LU, Teng LIANG

“…Urban grid road is an important use scenario for mobile communication users.Compared with other static scenes, UE mobility on the road leads to relatively poor customer perception.The traditional urban grid road test optimization has some pain points, such as incomplete regulation, low optimization efficiency, repeated work orders, no focus and so on.A new method to improve 5G coverage of urban grid roads was proposed.The proposed method introduces the concept of problem circle, realizes the effective aggregation of sporadic test problem points, and uses“aggregation degree” and “repetition degree” to quantitatively identify the priority of test problems.By introducing the concepts of “ideal azimuth” and “appropriate cell”, the method of the optimal coverage cell of the problem circle was proposed, which can effectively output the optimization scheme of the problem circle.This method has been deployed in the current network and effectively supports the test and optimization of urban grid roads.The 5G coverage rate has increased from 89.95% to 98.86%.…”

The non-proportionality of local stress paths in engineering applications by C. Riess, M. Obermayr, M. Vormwald

“…Therefore specific areas of the structure are cut out and the optimization procedure is repeated. As a result of the optimization a test set-up with high local non-proportionality at the potential crack initiation site is achieved for the weakened structure. …”

Reception Centres Above.The Mountain, Emblem of the Paradox of the Integration of Asylum Seekers in Switzerland by Viviane Cretton

“…Far from the tourist and romantic representations of the mountains, the oppositions between the top and the bottom (the valley and the plain), between the periphery and the centre (the mountain and the town) run repeatedly through the collected narratives. They maintain a representation of the mountain as a non-place of social life, an isolated place, as opposed to cities on the plain. …”

The Best Constitution for the Flourishing Lives: Aristotle’s Political Theory and Its Implications for Emancipatory Purposes by Andrius Bielskis

“…There, Aristotle claims that monarchy is the supreme form of constitution. A similar claim is repeated in Politics. The paper argues that these claims sit uneasily with Aristotle’s teleological accounts of the polis, the citizen, and his discussion of the virtues of the citizen and the good man in Politics. …”

When red tape saves time: The Anti-corruption controls for the 2015 Universal Exposition by Simone Busetti, Bruno Dente

“…We answer this question by building a model of controls based on programme and non-programme features that support three causal mechanisms: threat attribution, repeated interactions, and actor certification. Such a model is an indispensable tool for designers; it allows to explain how controls work in practice and provide clues on how to adjust the design of the policy to changing contexts. …”
