Anomaly induced inflation in the minimal quartic extension of Einstein’s gravity by Kerim Demirel, Bayram Tekin

“…Abstract A particular extension of Einstein’s General Relativity up to and including quartic terms in the curvature tensor is minimal in the sense that it has a unique maximally symmetric vacuum and only a massless spin-2 excitation in its spectrum around the vacuum. …”

3D artistic mapping of the urban environment for tourism information support by German Anna

“…By our understanding the panoramic map of the city is a cartographic image of the urban environment, made with regard to linear and aerial perspectives on the principle of artistic painting and created an illusory sense of volumetricity. Such maps illustrated the historical parts of cities, park zones, museums-estates, individual architectural monuments become popular souvenirs, but their handwritten creation is rather labor-intensive and requires high artistic skills.…”

Iterative methods for solving fractional differential equations using non-polynomial splines by Faraidun K. Hamasalh, Gulnar W. Sadiq, Emad S. Salam

“…In this work, a non-polynomial spline function is proposed to solve a linear fractional differential equation where the derivatives are in the Caputo sense. This approach transforms the fractional differential equation into a system of linear equations. …”

Properties of some weak forms of continuity by Takashi Noiri

“…As weak forms of continuity in topological spaces, weak continuity [1], quasi continuity [2], semi continuity [3] and almost continuity in the sense of Husain [4] are well-known. Recently, the following four weak forms of continuity have been introduced: weak quasi continuity [5], faint continuity [6], subweak continuity [7] and almost weak continuity [8]. …”

Propaganda image of the social world in Polish children’s songs by Małgorzata Pilecka

“…The qualitative research revealed propaganda role of the language used in children’s songs: the features of social world (i.e. people, places, relationships, behaviours and values) that are presented in these songs often transmit strongly stereotypical and oversimplified vision of the social reality. In this sense, social education is based on manipulation in which lyrics are the main tool of symbolic violence. …”

The Conspiracy of Silence: Cancer Patient Right to Know the Truth by Víctor Manuel Medina Pérez, Patricia Gil Pérez, Ahyní Abeledo Alfonso

“…Familial mediation is one of the main causes of appealing to the so called conspiracy of silence due to several factors: ranging from emotional –affective up to psychogenetic ones. In this sense it is necessary for health professionals to respect the bio-ethic laws keeping a doctor-patient communication from empathy and understanding of patient’s individuals and their relatives.…”

Adaptive Synchronization of Complex Networks with Mixed Probabilistic Coupling Delays via Pinning Control by Jian-An Wang

“…By adding adaptive feedback controllers to a small fraction of network nodes, a low-dimensional pinning sufficient condition is obtained, which can guarantee that the network asymptotically synchronizes to a homogenous trajectory in mean square sense. Simultaneously, two simple pinning synchronization criteria are derived from the proposed condition. …”
