Stability Analysis of a Nonlinear Coupled Vibration Model in a Tandem Cold Rolling Mill by Xing Lu, Jie Sun, Guangtao Li, Zhenhua Wang, Dianhua Zhang

“…However, the torsional chatter is also a typical type of mill chatter, and the presence of intermediate roll and backup roll will affect the overall vibration of the mill structure system. In this paper, a newly cold rolling mill vibration model coupled with the dynamic rolling processing model and nonlinear vibration model is proposed with the consideration of dynamic coupling and nonlinear characteristics of the rolling process, multiroll equilibrium, and roll movement in both vertical-horizontal-torsional directions. …”

Improved QRD-M Detection Algorithm for Generalized Spatial Modulation Scheme by Xiaorong Jing, Mingyue Wang, Wei Zhou, Hongqing Liu

“…Based on the QRD, the improved algorithm firstly transforms the maximum likelihood (ML) detection of the GSM signals into searching an inverted tree structure. Then, in the searching process of the M branches, the branches corresponding to the illegitimate transmit antenna combinations (TACs) and related to invalid number of active antennas are cut in order to improve the validity of the resultant branches at each level by taking advantage of characteristics of GSM signals. …”

ArgR regulates motility and virulence through positive control of flagellar genes and inhibition of diguanylate cyclase expression in Aeromonas veronii by Zucheng Wang, Yanqiong Tang, Hong Li, Juanjuan Li, Xue Chi, Xiang Ma, Zhu Liu

“…ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq analysis revealed that ArgR regulated the expression of flagellar genes, concluding two-component system flrBC and multitudinous flagellar structure genes. Specifically, ArgR bound to the ARG box in the flrBC promoter, positively regulating flrBC expression, which in turn promoted flagellar synthesis and enhanced motility. …”

Overcoming the “Coloniality of Doing” in International Law: Soft Law as a Decolonial Tool by Tatiana Cardoso Squeff

“…The case of international law is even harder due to the limits of its positivist normative structure, formulated not only by countries that hold military/economic power in the international arena, but also in a modern/colonial historical moment that has guaranteed their legitimacy for more than five centuries, which makes it extremely difficult to have rules that contemplate the desires of the Third World. …”
