Le littoral martiniquais à l’épreuve du changement climatique : de l’expérimentation au projet de territoire by Thomas Beillouin, Félicien Pecquet-Caumeil

“…Faced with this challenge, tropical islands are a special case: the many extreme hazards are exacerbated by climate change while the space available for adaptation is limited. In Martinique, communities fully aware of their vulnerability are determined to adapt to continue to live there. …”

Visual Research Methods: A Novel Approach To Understanding The Experiences of Compulsive Hoarders: A Preliminary Study by Satwant Singh, Colin Jones

“…Objective: Compulsive hoarding is a syndrome characterised by excessive collecting and saving behaviour that results in cluttered living space and significant distress or impairment. This study set out to gain a greater understanding of the personal experiences of compulsive hoarders in addition to attaining their evaluations of attending a therapy group. …”

When home and work are not enough. The challenge of international migrants’ agency in the Italian Alps by Andrea Membretti, Fabio Lucchini, Monica Gilli, Mia Scotti

“…Difficulties in accessing public space and public sphere, scarce social recognition, low status, housing isolation (as is the case of those who live in small mountain villages), professional ghettoisation: these are factors that, even in presence of an acceptable working and housing inclusion, make it difficult for international migrants to exercise their rights, to have their skills recognised, and, ultimately, to develop an agency genuinely linked to their capabilities. …”

Socio-economic ecosystems development: a study based on digitalisation indicators by M. V. Alikayeva, L. O. Aslanova, B. Z. Karmova

“…To do this, it is necessary, first, to understand the essence and interpretations of the digital economy concept in the global information space, to describe its key characteristics. The article presents a terminological analysis of this concept based on scientific and regulatory sources. …”

Le monastère face aux laïques au haut Moyen Âge : lieux de culte secondaires et accueil aux limites de l’espace monastique dans le contexte italien  by Eleonora Destefanis

“…Just at the edge of this space – the claustrum or a much bigger territory, perceived however as monasterium in every aspect – we can find specific complexes for social (and sometimes medical) services, in certain cases provided with secondary churches, distinct from the abbatial one.The paper studies, through some Early Middle Ages Italian cases and referring to written as well as archaeological sources, the topographical and functional choices connected to these structures. …”

Redesigned-Scale-Free CORDIC Algorithm Based FPGA Implementation of Window Functions to Minimize Area and Latency by Supriya Aggarwal, Kavita Khare

“…The proposed CORDIC algorithm is completely scale-free for the range of convergence that spans the entire coordinate space. Secondly, we realize the window functions using a single CORDIC processor as against two serially connected CORDIC processors in existing technique, thus optimizing it for area and latency. …”

Exploring the thermodynamic description of a simulation of flocking birds by Alexander V. Mantzaris, George-Rafael Domenikos

“…Thus, through this thermodynamic definition, a more in-depth representation of the state space of the system is achieved. This description offers information about both the microscopic and macroscopic behaviors of the flocks and, importantly, an understanding about the exchange of energy/information between the flock and the external environment through the heat flux.…”

Discrete moments models for Vlasov equations with non constant strong magnetic limit by Charles, Frédérique, Després, Bruno, Dai, Ruiyang, Hirstoaga, Sever A.

“…We describe the structure of an original application of the method of moments to the Vlasov–Poisson system with non constant strong magnetic field in three dimensions of space. Using basis functions which are aligned with the magnetic field, one obtains a Friedrichs system where the kernel of the singular part is made explicit. …”

Formulas for Rational-Valued Separability Probabilities of Random Induced Generalized Two-Qubit States by Paul B. Slater, Charles F. Dunkl

“…The formula can, furthermore, be viewed, as we note here, as an averaging over “induced measures in the space of mixed quantum states.” The associated induced-measure separability probabilities (k=1,2,…) are found—via a high-precision density approximation procedure—to assume interesting, relatively simple rational values in the two-re[al]bit (α=1/2), (standard) two-qubit (α=1), and two-quater[nionic]bit (α=2) cases. …”
