Effects of Transverse Deformation on Free Vibration of 2D Curved Beams with General Restraints by Xueren Wang, Xuhong Miao, Di Jia, Shengyao Gao

“…In particular, the transverse beam domain is discretized by a set of sampling surfaces with unequal spaces, and the displacement components in beam domain coinciding with these surfaces are mathematically described as a set of modified Fourier series in which certain supplementary functions are included to remove all the relevant discontinuities with the displacements and their derivatives at the boundaries to form a mathematically complete set and guarantee the results convergent to the exact solutions. …”

TESLA GPUs versus MPI with OpenMP for the Forward Modeling of Gravity and Gravity Gradient of Large Prisms Ensemble by Carlos Couder-Castañeda, Carlos Ortiz-Alemán, Mauricio Gabriel Orozco-del-Castillo, Mauricio Nava-Flores

“…Unlike a trivial decomposition of the domain, we proposed to decompose the problem by sets of prisms and use different memory spaces per processing CUDA core, avoiding the performance decay as a result of the constant calls to kernels functions which would be needed in a parallelization by observations points. …”

Effects of ultrasound-assisted low-salt curing on water retention, tenderness and in vitro digestive characteristics of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon Idellus) by Jun Liu, Changxin Xie, Wenhan Ma, Xue Xiao, Weiwei Dong, Youwei Chen, Yuanliang Hu, Yanli Feng, Xiang Yu

“…Microscopic observations revealed that ultrasound treatment substantially disrupted the muscle fiber structure, enlarging the spaces between fibers. Furthermore, ultrasound-assisted curing led to the unfolding of the spatial structure of myofibrillar proteins, enhanced intermolecular hydrophobic interactions, and promoted protein oxidation (p < 0.05), which are fundamental reasons for the improvement in fish quality. …”

Cavity Wavelength on Erbium-Doped Fiber Ring Laser Depending on Fabry–Pérot Etalon Steering Angle by Cheng-Kai Yao, Ting-Po Fan, Ming-Che Chan, Peng-Chun Peng

“…The tunable range for a single wavelength is approximately 13 nm, while the tunable range for dual wavelengths is around 14 nm, with a wavelength spacing of approximately 17.5 nm. These capabilities are primarily influenced by the operational wavelength of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), the operating wavelength of the collimator that directs the fiber optic beam into the LC-FP, and the fixed thickness of the LC-FP.…”

Chuma Ulete: Business and Discourses of Witchcraft in Neoliberal Tanzania by Jacqueline H. Mgumia

“…Witchcraft discourses linked to the business sector have emerged side by side with the increased liberalization of public spaces and media. Drawing from an ethnographic study of 52 adolescents with small businesses in urban Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and a Foucauldian analysis of popular discourses on witchcraft and business, I attempt here to make sense of why witchcraft is invoked in a sector that is conventionally viewed as the realm of economic rationality in neoliberal discourses. …”

Discotheques, Magazines and Plexiglas: Superstudio and the Architecture of Mass Culture by Ross K. Elfline

“…Initially, the group embraced popular culture and mass-production for their ability to challenge the hidebound discipline of architecture, leading them to produce an assortment of interior furnishings designed to activate consumers to alter their own living spaces. Later, the group abandoned these pursuits in favour of utopian ‘paper architecture’ projects, simultaneously rejecting the reified consumer object while relying entirely on the magazine as a formal support, a medium fully ingrained in the world of consumerism. …”
